They’re definitely higher than 4-6 km. I got hit about 3.5 miles away in a Mi-24D, and at a range of about 4.37 miles, an Lav-AD was locking my Su-34 earlier and firing.
So yeah the lock on range is way higher. In fact, some of those stingers almost got me, even pulling 10g+ turns, and flaring while flying away.
It’s due to the way Thermal emissions are simplified / modeled in game, which is proportionally related to thrust, which is not the case IRL.
Do you have the replay for sensor view? As per datamined values the FIM-92 is still limited to 13G.
In game the Stinger’s seeker (including basic ATAS, which I’ve just noticed is wrong.) Is modeled as Seeker Shutoff + FoV reduction, as it uses both the same methods as the AIM-9M and R-73, simultaneously.
If you look at my replay from American desert playing Russia earlier you can see it. Replays are buggy or crash on console
I absolutely love how you are ignoring the rafale with 6 FNF missiles and thermals, Two helis have 8 spikes the isrealy has 16 spikes, Germany has also 8 fnf missiles on a heli. You just cant kill a helicopter that pops up for a sec launches a missile and dips. Can we please look at all the tech trees and not cherry pick what helps our made up posts?
God I want this thing in game so badly lol
Well yeah but they are all not Russian tech tree and in the western hemisphere its kind of a thing lately to bash on anything Russian. Does it make sense or not doesnt matter, its the flag. Main thing is Vikhr is OP because it goes through smoke. The fact that you cant kill a tank behind a building by aiming at his MG does absolutely not matter like in the Apache since the rocket comes from above and not from a direkt line of the Heli…pure answer is Russia bad, NATO good.
Next topic pls
Do you actually believe this is only happening in the west? It’s the same for CIS/Russians and Chinese.
You’re showing your own bias here.
I can only talk about the area where I have experience at
I mean the Russians on this forum will show you, and all you need to do is watch any video from Ukraine to watch Russians and Chinese talk.
My wife is Russian and her family very pro Putin, so I get to hear the same stuff. The west doesn’t exist in a vacuum with its nationalism.
Not so much Russian bias as it is Russian favoritism.
Getting Russian vehicles buffed using historical evidence is MUCH easier than say getting vehicles buffed for the UK using historical documents and evidence.
They re-modeled much of the Lagg-3 flight models off some old hand written account.
I pulled up with multiple sources from NASA, RAE, CTTO, MOD, and the DOD and the general answer from the devs was we don’t think the aircraft could perform as stated in the documents.
If it were actually favoritism T-80 would have sub 5 seconds reload from the get go. The actual reason behind some changes is that they at least seem to try to balance the playing field out with buffs and nerfs to certain vehicles aircrafts etc. OFC X or Y persons favorite nation also gets same treatment thus when getting clapped by some other nation it starts to hurt and sting between the cheeks
Doesn’t the T-80 get the same auto loader as the rest of the T series tanks. They all have the same engine minus a few modification between the years. I want to see evidence for the 5 second reload.
T-72 has AZ Autoloader where the shells are stored horizontally meanwhile T-80 has the MZ autoloader in which the shells are stored in L shape sort of. A few years ago I found some T- series tanks info guide website thingy written by some guy from Ukraine citing their own tank manuals (I posted the link somewhere on this forum once or twice aswell) in which he stated that T-80s had (iirc) a “Sequence” mode in their FCS which when engaged automatically turns the carousel and prepares the next shell in line to be put into the gun when ready and that the whole process takes under 5 seconds. Tankograd states 6 seconds but they never mentioned the “Sequence” mode, only if its the same type of ammo so I am not sure since I cant find the Ukrainian website atm
If it can be proven and is realistic I support it regardless of the vehicle.
The RARDEN cannon used on the Fox, warrior and others can actually have a magazine capacity of 6 rounds not 3. Yet that will not get fixed as it performs fairly well.
Yeah but imagine this forum if T80 even gets the 6 seconds, let alone 5 or less seconds reload…It would actually break the internet in half
lol not nearly as bad as the Russian fanboys if the Harriers got a time to climb to 30k feet faster than a F-4 phantom. 13 degrees a second STR with just 86% throttle.
If VIFF was modeled even half correctly you could point around at low speed better than a mig29.
Even the flaps are wrong.
Israeli spikes are hella nerfed its very rare to 1 shot nato tanks
They can have a realistic fire rate if we can have realistic armour values modelled?
Russian tanks have been getting away with it for years now with preferential armour modelling to offset the weakness of the autoloader.
“Merkava crying in the corner”
If you think make realistic gonna benefits Russian and make them ahead of anyone
I suggest you don’t
DM53 and L27A1 in the game still don’t have anti ERA
For a reason
