LMAO… No, I advise Russian players to learn how to play and stop complaining about being bad at the game.

Make Gaijin to fix its radar to make use of 50% of its kit reliably and I’ll jump to that train even with its limitations.
Knowing that Gaijin won’t do that anytime soon, I rest my case.
None of the planes you quoted rely on their radar strength as much as the F-15A/J/Baz with their 7Ms without IOG+DL (and only having a goofy, unreliable mechanic to try and lock again on a target). MiG-29s have R-27ERs with IOG+DL which are stupidly easy to keep out of notch if you know what to do and how to illuminate targets while they’re performing a notch, and Harriers only need a solid lock for launch as most of slings you’re doing with an AV-8 w/120s will be under 15km due to kinematic limitations. Therefore, DL is not necessary at all.
If the radar isn’t reliable enough to make use of its entire SARH kit, you end up with a fast plane with a decent FM, without HMS and 4 IR IRCCM missiles. Sounds a lot like a sidegrade F-16 OCU on that circumstance, isn’t it.
The OCU should be 13.0, it’s certainly more than 0.3 better than the base F-16A.
You still need a hard lock for them to reliably hit (assuming the target isn’t multipathing), which is difficult to do when the target notches your radar, which isn’t very difficult to do.
Sounds a lot like a Mig-29, if you ignore the fact it has a terrible FM, and useless IR missiles.

I haven't got this level of bad tracking on a MiG-29 ever. PD target switching with nearby signatures? Yes, but never this nonsense.
Notice how the first case the target is nowhere near perfectly notching yet the radar is already struggling to illuminate.
And well, here the radar is not illuminating at all, yet this is an old video, and a common experience on sparrow users. I still have to meet someone which hasn’t got this nonsense sometime.
Again, I rest my case.
The only real downside the MiG-29 FM truly has is their energy bleed. Other than that, they shouldn’t be played as a turnfighter basically ever, they have more than enough tools to defend themselves both at long, medium and short ranges if positioned correctly— OH, I forgot that was the scapegoat for saying the F-15A is allegedly OP.

Ironic, considering all of the complaining surrounding Russian tanks is because they can’t aim.

February stats are out, BMPT K/D’s and WR have declined significantly.

What I think would balance it out is moving the TT one to 11.7, and possibly reworking what hitting the belts does. Prem one looks to be balanced from stats.
If you hit the belts, it should have a 100% chance to destroy both cannons, the vertical and horizontal drive, the missiles, the autoloader, the FCS/electronic equipment, etc. Basically everything related to the weapons should be nuked.

Spaa mostly sit on spawn so by killing them you can only help your team air which almost never spawns. Tanks, on other hand, can kill your team ground units and cap points. They have much bigger impact on battle result. So having 6 munitions capable of erasing all ground units > having 4 munitions capable of destroying spaa only.
Not really. It takes 1 pantsir with switch radar target bind to delete entire salvo.

Similar situation with HAMMER. Do you have source for this 1.5-2km tho? I like to save these.
Seems like 10.7 is also recovering a little bit.

I suspect that within 1-2 months the FOTM effect will die down completely and everything will be back to normal.

Cause specific nation mains will shoot a god damned T90M in the UFP then cry it doesn’t go through.
The tanks aren’t great tbh, i thoroughly enjoy 11.7 right enough.
Realistically most mains have some critical misunderstanding of other nations.
The issue is if you buff the tanks it leads to easier facilitation of acquiring the good cas.
Same as when T58 dropped.
Or when the german prem heavy cruiser man.
They cycle prems like mad , T80UD was another example of a braindead tank which ruined a bracket.
It was a 10.7 vehicle before tbe reload buff…
And before that the gripens pretty much dominated before a series of nerfs.
The worst days it seen were at 13.0 when all the Arh missile holding planes were dropped.
As most if all planes without access to ARH are ar a massive disadvantage for the most part.
Serious for what ? At 12.7 the F15 is under BRd leading to what we need being more decompressing not more.
Yet the F15A has a better Flight model, characteristics, 4 x irccm missiles , more counter measures, better radar, * the literal only way the mig29 is better is the r27er*
That doesn’t mean move the mig29 but jesus decompressioj is need to at least 15.3
That argument also avours the F15A if you positiom the eagle correctly it’s untouchable.
I like tbe fulcrum but the F15 A generally did me better when i used it.
useless in ARB, yet again.
2- than the French F-16 OCU, without the burden of unreliable 7Ms.
A game dictating missile, who would’ve thought.
Hilariously false. Chances are, you’re more exposed while going defensive on an F-15A rather than a soviet based frame W/R-27ERs, as you have to at least turn a decent side of your nose to try and scan whoever is forcing you into defensive, whereas a MiG-29 can just HMS spam you into eventually lock if you’re firing an AIM-7.

“The papers outline specific technical aims for the T-90M2 upgrade. Engineers are said to be revising the fighting compartment and addressing a long-standing mechanical issue by refining the transmission and adding a reverse gear. The modernization also includes the installation of larger video-observation displays, described in the documents as panels “with a diagonal of not less than 38 cm” to improve crew situational awareness. Frontelligence Insight adds that “a similar fighting compartment is planned to be installed on the T-80.”
Unlike you, I don’t make stuff up :))
Here’s your sources.

Sorry what ? Not at all in ARB the flight characteristics still matter 😂😂
Dont have the F16 for france never bothered with it.
Prefer mirages.
Yes but with only 2 you’re extremely limited , dont act like it’s not lol, ive got the plane mate i know it’s got two good chances then you’re on the back foot for the most part.
F15As access to the IRCCM missiles, more CMs , better FM, more SARHs while not as good it’s still double the amouht.
Should mean it hangs at a .3 above the fulcrum.
Not at all? Why are the chances suddenly saying you’re more exposed ?
If you hold close to the ground and use terrain and notching R27ER isn’t that bad, especially if you come in at an off angle.
Again correctly positioned F15A shouldn’t be in the arc of a Fulcrum HMD, hence why i stated about positioning lol.
Flying up and towards an enemy is not positioning.
Use them wisely I suppose?
I’m not acting like it’s not. But with the level of discipline you’re asking on F-15A players, two R-27ERs should be easy 2 kills under most if not any right circumstance. That is actually an average-to-above-average kill potential on the current 12.3-13.3 bracket.
That is convenient, to say the least. You cannot expect me to just allow you to shift your narrative towards victimizing a plane with good BVR and even WVR potential because it lacks a proper IRCCM missile.
Neither the MiG-29 is a sitting duck at 12.7, nor the Eagle is the menace and destroyer of worlds.
Alright use them, wisely. It’s still a disadvantage lol that’s literally what the word means.
The fact you said they’re game dictating then hava fo say use them wisely is counter intuitive and slightly contradictory.
The bracket right now is bogged down heavily by 13.3 ARH slingers which have the obvious edge over theSARH carriers.
Irrelevant if it’s a 7P, 7M r27er.or matra.
As well as that how is it discipline of a player at rank 8 to be aware of positions and how to use their plane.
That’s a major copout again reinforcing the point i made before that rhe F15A once again is dropping in BR not because the actual planes not capable but due to copious amounts of bad players using it wrong.
Same as F18A is a monster at 12.3
The mig29 lacks a good IR missile period for the bracket the R60Ms are found at 10.3 below it.
The fact is the HMD is handy but not absolutely match changing due to the limitations of its missile count / good missile count.
The SMT is quite nice to use as it has R77s and the 73s however its another story
The 15A is pretty much a fk you to the 29 man
