Serious Balance Issues with Russian Vehicles in War Thunder

  • RU sitting duck subsonic gets rear-aspect IRCM
  • Demands IRCM and ECM for top dogs which would basically change the meta

Sitting duck that slughter ground and have r73

If u get ircm to every top dog that can have it i dont see the problem even if the meta will change
(Btw 4 gen ir has jamming ressitance)

I don’t think anything is slaughtering ground if it gets 2x TV missiles at 11.3.
R-73s are also way less effective on a plane without HMD that struggles to hit M0.9 on the deck. On such a platform 9Ms are infinitely better, especially in GRB.

IRCMs and ECMs would definitely shift the meta to something? else.
ECMs on their own would significantly cripple ARHs and it would make planes without it borderline impossible to play.

Su 39 have also laser missiles and r73 is pretty good in this br

For ecm maybe its too early but ircm can come

haha see? i told you

And A-10 has 6x 65Ds at 10.7.
It’s obvious which one is better at A2G.

R-73s are far from great on such a platform. Dogfighting missiles on a slow plane with no HMD is nothing to write about.

Then please counter his argument.

2 faf missiles and 16 vikhars with 2 irccm missiles and ircm yes its clear whos better

Also if im not mistaken it can take rockets too

2 FnFs + Vikhrs is definitely worse loadout on a subsonic than 6x FnFs.
R-73s on a slow bus that can’t force dogfights are nothing more than glorified 9Ls.

Well its a skill issue 16 laser missiles are hella strong in this br
Most of ir spaas cant rly lunch at u and the radar ones are bad like the roland and osa
If u get uptier best thing u can face is vt1

No they are not as you don’t have a good targeting pod that handholds you like on western jets.
It has a very limited FOV so you’ll have to fly in the general direction of the target you’re shooting at for the missile’s entire flight time.

It’s 11.3 in GRB so only IRs it’ll face are Strela and Type 81 and latter one is really dangerous.
Osa should also be pretty decent against subsonics like Su-39.

Osa rly?
Osa cant hit things that under 2 km and hug the ground like this plane does
Much better then a10 that goes 650 kmh and doesnt have ircm
If it gets downtierd its broken asf

Why would you even come that close to the battlefield in a 11.3 CAS, are you JustinPlays ?

Indeed, A-10A downtiered to 9.7 is broken as fuck.

No big deal flying in a subsonic brick right.
And you don’t even need full uptier to face them.

6 mavericks are also better than the vikhr which require you to fly more or less in a straight line.

If there is a radar spaa u just hug the ground or u lunch one of thos faf missiles

A10 isnt op cuz its slow and it cant dodge strela or even stingers

16 vikahrs with 2 faf for spaa so no its not better also ircm dude and airframe

Hug the ground and see absolutely nothing in the process, smart move.

Good thing 65Ds can outrange both of those missiles.

Fair point but same can be said for su 39 and it has ircm so planes cant lunch ir missile on u

Yes they can, just need to be closer.
And it gets outturned/outperformed by pretty much everything anyway.
