Russian Teams Steamrolling NATO - Top Tier is Broken Again?

and ive seen videos for sub 4 second, and given ace crew is supposed to represent the best possible crew it should get a reload closer to that number than average

You literally have provided no evidence to those claims.

Care to explain why the soviets aren’t the First Nation with ERA in warthunder? Despite inventing it, and being the first to deploy it?

Post said video then. Once again, you have provided 0 evidence

you guys are arguring about the wrong thing, russia is suffering a lot in light tanks missing / 12.7 with r60m against f18a / f18 spam in sim / fighter missing from 10.0 to 12.7 / APC missing

There’s a lot of BTRs they could add. Simple stabilized BTR-80s
Or the BMP-2M turret’d BTR-80
Etc

wtf are you on, all of those are simple facts and unless you have counter sources, show an insane amount of favoritism to certain vehicles

its pretty simple, they didnt, it was proposed and tested during WW2 by Australians

I have yet to see chinese mbts being comparable to russian ones in terms of armour by heavily benefitting from current ERA implementation, especially considering they are still missing stuff like spall liners

they definitely dont benefit as much as russian tanks, but they do benefit, it for example it slightly reduces the hitbox of the LFP because if you even clip the backing plate of the first ERA blocks gaijin treats the round as having to go through the whole block, not just a tiny edge of the backing plate

Honestly, I think the main issue should be something else. A good starting point would be to increase the size of the maps and decompress the BRs, regardless of whether helicopters are strong right now or not. There will come a point where the main nations will become nearly impossible to play against because everyone will have ridiculous weapons, especially for CAS.

If things are already absurd with regular fire-and-forget missiles, just imagine when anti-radiation missiles arrive. In ARB, weapons like the Meteor (I’m not sure of the exact designation, so I’m using it as an example) will only make things worse.

The trend is clear — it’s only going to get worse. Russia is extremely strong right now simply because they’re the first nation getting these kinds of systems. But if they expanded the maps and improved the BR system, they could remove many of the unnecessary nerfs affecting probably every nation.

One artificial nerf I always mention is the AIM-120, which currently feels like an AIM-7F with more Gs of maneuvering. If you fire it from more than 5–6 km away, you have to keep the radar locked the whole time, otherwise it gets spoofed by just a few chaffs — it’s a ridiculous nerf.

Genuinely what kind of proof do you want here? We know where the LDIRCM is located on the MI28, weve seen the documentation of only 4 LMURs and weve yet to see any evidence whatsoever about the KH38MT being mounted on the planes we have in game

*evidence whatsoever about the KH38MT being mounted on planes

True, i wanted to be nice and make the burden of proof a bit lower.

Whoops, that one said only said mle.

Like most sources regarding the KH38

yeah the only brochure that explicitly states mte is for su-35 which we dont have in game

iirc its also for su-35e not the normal su-35 so not the one in russian service

su-35 is export designation of su-35s su-35s is what is it called in russian service, su-35 export,
here is su-35s (russian) brochure, it just lists x-38, no specifics.

Spoiler

2, is quite normal. 1 for light targets.
