IMO it’s only coping if it comes from a place of NATO vs PACT. Irregardless, these changes are ahistoric, and should not happen.
IRL, as you probably know, most RWRs can detect and identify the specific radar in question, and makes use of a threat library that would include friendly planes for IFF purposes. Even older RWRs like the SPO-15 had programmable threat libraries.
It would make sense that in ARB, for example, the “programming” would occur on the basis of the teams at play.
Yes exactly. There is no good reason, logic or evidence behind these changes
Sure, but at the same time they’ve done shit like keeping both the Mig-29 and Su-27 airframes gimped, they’ve refused R-73s on Mig-29s and gave them ER’s instead, they add gimped brimstones because they’d be too broken, they refuse to give most top tier tanks spall liners, and a ton more.
See the thing is despite not knowing how Russian RWRs are like, I would reasonably assume that if they show threat ID they are able to reprogram just like NATO RWRs. This change is just unnecessary. I want all equipment to act as realistically as possible within the game limitations.
For starters, top tier RWRs besides Gripen retain their aviation identification against equal peer aircraft, thus your F-16 will be able to tell difference between M2k and Mig-29. “You’re screwed” part applies to F-4E and F-5E, as well F-20.
Most Russian RWRs are at best SPO-15, and in other cases, they’re even worse. Russian RWRs are so bad that once, on a Russian-speaking forum, there was a funny incident with an enthusiast of Russian weaponry (who is now a community bug reporter).
You should understand that you’re playing a propaganda game, and this propaganda is being funded with your own money. So if you’ve spent $1,000 on vehicles, you can consider yourself as having funded all these changes in the game.
That has been obvious since 2014 when they put nation flags behind a paywall because of a certain world event, much akin to a current world event… in which two nations were fighting each other… and it was creating problems from one group of them in the game… who just happen to be from the same region as the developers
They removed flags because it led to teamkilling. Are you guys so focused on Russia that you think stuff like that is propaganda? Unironically go outside, you’re overthinking this.
@Flogger_cbs “Propaganda is when thing I like is nerfed” Where is the propaganda? It doesn’t represent Russia any better(thier top tier planes aren’t very good, and the tanks are outclassed by other nations), and even if it did, anyone who genuinely believes that is propaganda is not very smart. Outside of top tier how could there even be propaganda? Is a T-54 having strong frontal armour against conventional rounds propaganda?
No wonder Gaijin barely interacts with the community, you will see Russian bias in literally anything, and then cry about how NATO stuff sucks (it doesn’t).
Well, probably when GJ puts holes in the frontal armor of Western tanks — that’s for balance. (Remember the 127 mm-thick mantlet on the M60A1? How many years did the Western community try to get that fixed — three or four?) The Pantsir was also added for balance (coincidentally, it was configured by a fanatic from a Russian military forum). The Kh-38 was added for balance as well, while breaking the damage for the Mavericks. Or maybe I misunderstood something.
GJs come to the forum — and the Jonies are crying that the Stormer is literally broken! They cry for a year, cry for two years, cry for three years — how can you interact with such a community? And this community even goes to tank museums with a ruler and leaks classified documents on the forum in attempts to prove that GJ modeled complete nonsense.
Although there are also constant issues with Russian equipment. Do you remember the recent reports stating that the MiG-23 and Su-17 flew like UFOs?
It was because Gaijin nerfed the 2S6 by a lot iirc. It should be the standard for how good top tier SPAA is, but Gaijin seems allergic to making CAS require skill.
I don’t understand what you mean here.
For several years, the Stormer was literally broken — the missiles didn’t maneuver, and a direct hit was required to hit a target, which didn’t deal enough damage to destroy it.
Apparently, you’re not really aware of what was happening with this game at all, but you came here to make bold statements.
I wasn’t sure what you meant outside of the stormer being broken, and what your intent with that statement was.
I am aware, but I really don’t care about anything above around 11.7 for air and 11.0 for ground. Pbviously I’m not going to know about every issue with a tank/plane I don’t play or see very often.
I meant that there are constantly some problems with Western equipment in this game. Almost since the very start of this game. Can you explain them somehow, or are you just not aware of them?
What was the point of those statements about ‘Propaganda is when the thing I like is nerfed’ then?
Even older digital RWRs were still able to be reprogrammed with the introduction of new Jets and radar guided SAMs. Even the ALR/46 which im pretty sure is the first US military Digital RWR. ( and yes that doccument on the ALR 46 is UNCLASSIFIED!)
I would post the Whole Doccument because it is very interesting but apparently I cant post PDFs
This post was flagged by the community and is temporarily hidden.
Boy do some of the people in this thread sound like they have some screws loose…
ummm Yeah cuz its some thing that effects the entirety of high BR Jets
No no not that. I agree the RWR changes are god awful.
It’s the conspiracy theory stuff.
Can anyone with a MiG-29 or other aircraft using the SPO-15 tell me if the “main threat signal strength” indicator functions?
That’s actually one of the primary strengths of that system, it gives you a decent estimate of distance from enemy ARH missiles.
If it’s not implemented, they really should fix it. Instead of nerfing western electronics.
it didnt do It on the Dev server I can check if u want
