Russian Teams Steamrolling NATO - Top Tier is Broken Again?

The thrust was nerfed, and Gaijin increased the drag, after the community threw a fit. Su-30SM2 still has AL-41s and Irbis, however. It’s not even like the engines were “fantasy” for the F-15E either, they were added in in a later production batch.

Su-27, EFT, Rafale

Here’s the difference:

  • Su-27; eventually fixed (i.e it received a genuinelly substantial buff, even if some people still think it should do better in sustained turns)
  • EFT; actually nerfed, where the “We believe this is a marketing lie” originated from - we needed the AESA version, because Gaijin was refusing to fix the M-Scan
  • Rafale; the only one that was somewhat corrected

Between these 3, only 1 of them was ever really “fixed”, one was only made slightly more OP that it already was (Rafale), and one was never fixed, despite the same amount of effort being put into its bug-reports.

And following that, Gaijin started to pamper to basically only one of them; who started receiving more and more powerful version(s) of the initial jet, culminating in the Su-30SM2 which dominates ARB today, and Gaijin doesn’t care to do anything about it, but hey, they added the AIM-120"““D””", ignore that it’s the same as 120A basically.

So there is no line in between west and east and Captor-M getting same treatment as MiG-29.

I wouldnt say they dominating Rafale is still one of the best despite some minor nerf and situation isn’t that drastic like when Su-27SM and F-15C was the top tier.

Can I have some of those good russian teams? Because right now I seem to always get losing teams at 13.0…

Fortunately I think hes only a game mod and can’t actually influence balance/game decisions iirc? Correct me if im wrong.

He’s a Tech Mod on the RU forums and has on occasion weighed into debates alongside the original Mr ‘Not a Bug’ themselves.

As was the case with the Chinese ‘tech consultant’ a while ago, one or two bad actors can have a negative impact. Especially given the Russian connection - e.g. you’ve got Russian tech mods talking to Russian devs so you haven’t got anything in the way of language barrier.*

*Not being sarky in this instance. If you have two people giving you directions on the best way to get to to the Train Station - are you not going to be inclined to listen to the one who is fluent in your native language rather than one who isn’t?

Particularly if they are telling you want you want to hear…

How did you survive so many missiles ?

Most of the Kh38MTs were just shrapnel hitting me from missiles deleting my teammates, only the last ones directly hit me and one tapped me every time. The 25 ML was also not on me and the 9M120s were just all not good shots. The first on the 2A6 only hit the tracks just like the one on the AZUR and the second on the 2A6 took out my driver and commander.

but KH 38MT exists on a brochure!!!

Indeed - in fact I found the original declassified photo that was used as the basis by Gaijin.

Probably.

To fix PARS you either need
Option 1: Make it drop down closer to the target for a higher Angle of Attack or
Option 2: Make it loft more

to ‘‘Fix’’ the spam we need higher br’s like 13.3 or higher BR’s for Ground RB
example F-16C Block 50 12.7, Block 52 13.0, for F-15E (idk suggestions? it doesnt have anything scary imo)
F-15I has so that could go 13.3
Su-34 same br as F-15I ?
since E2k and Su30 arent very comparable they could go to 13.7 and Sm2, AESA and Rafale to 14.0
F-4E and Kurnass 2000 shouldnt be seeing Fox-3.
Heli’s with FnF that only need 1 missile to knock out a tank to 13.7 the less good ones stay at 12.7, 13.0 see how they perform move them up later (idk where to put em tbh)
Tanks need decompression too btw.

More idea’s pls

Its not the balance itself that is broken.

The issue is that latly mainly from asian/chinese side a lot of people with DMA Hacks and cheats are flooding the servers.

I experience a lot of esp users and stuff and gaijin is just suppressing this fact by deleting every post about it. Its not working with their fairplay headline, but to be honest this game is atm far away from fairplay.

I experience guys with chinese names in leopard 7 doing the wildest things, one shot through smoke nade, buildins, rocks and so on. If i play at german side its the same with chinese tanks, but mainly always the big tanks from every country, as soon as the guy has a chinese name absolutly crazy things happen, but no one cares.

That is not a balance argument. That is just dodging the topic.

If someone is cheating, report them with replay evidence. A Chinese name, a weird killcam, or getting shot through smoke is not proof of DMA. Turning every balance discussion into “Asian/Chinese cheaters” is just lazy scapegoating.

Cheating is an anti-cheat issue. Top-tier lineup imbalance is a balance issue. Mixing the two does not explain LMUR, Kh-38, Pantsir/Buk coverage, helicopter gameplay, or why some nations keep getting stronger full lineups while others are left with gaps.

This sounds like a stat-card argument from someone who has not actually sat in a NATO MBT under LMUR fire.

15 kg does not need to nuke the whole map. It only needs to hit the roof armor, trigger overpressure, and delete one tank at a time from standoff range. That is exactly why people complain about it.

Your entire argument boils down to your mentality of “I can never be wrong” as proof for any argument you make.

You are the last person to be making fun of others

this is so facts omg, but it will be no use… this guy and people like Alvis Wisla are seemingly not living in reality. or are simply ragebaiters… the latter seems for probable

they even disregarded my post from earlier on in this sub
