And they are underperforming like crazy.

There is a reason why IRL the Sea Harrier FRS1 absolutely destroyed F-5Es in 1v1 dogfights but in-game its the reverse.

Harrier 1s =/= Harrier IIs.

Harrier 1s should probably perform more like the Harrier IIs do, and the Harrier IIs should perform even better.

F-5s have 2-3 deg/sec too much STR. Harriers have 2-3 deg/sec too little. They should litereally swap their current STRs. This is also not factoring the fact that VIFF actually isnt modeled. It doesnt actually do 99% of what it should due to game limitations.

The F-5 eating a 9L though shows a clear skill issue on the part of the F-5. That should have been an easy 1 flare defeat

Ooh now the insults?

I wish you had shown some of this love to the MiG-29 as well. You know, it essentially being a miniaturized Flanker and all.

72

The change was based on Su-27SK manuals

Not Mig-29 manuals which say it is fine

73

Fix ps5 headtracking!

I hate having the spike on the Namer or the MMP on the jaguar standing in the air all the time… The protective box is just there… They could animate it by just pressing the laser button kinnd of like the bradley

76

There are flanker reports made years ago
Lol, matter of fact the flanker has always had it’s Flight performance wrongly modeled and even with this latest change its still wrong

77

now im wondering, does this buff include Su-30MKK?

82

cool it with insults mate

The most external ammo belt/storage of history.

Seriously, thats just a hoax. And no tech mod or community mod says anything about it. When these shells detonate, the interior including crew isn’t combatworthy anymore. Thats obvious. There is no seperation between the turret / ammo and combat compartment. And thats what you see on quite some Telegram or X vids. BMPT suffers exactly the same catastrophic ammo detionations as the other T tanks with ammo storage under the turret and charges all around.

84

@Smin1080p_WT hey, quick question, sorry if you’re the wrong person for this
Is there any plans from the dev team to actually explain how the exposed ammo belt inside the tank is considered external and has access to a blow-out rack that seems to comes out from where the crew is seated in the hull?

It seems weird there’s all this controversy for this but for some reason it just seems to be getting ignored and they just went around the issue with this “nerf”

Maybe there’s a realistic reason for this to be the current situation but a lack of answers and these work-arounds just isn’t putting out any fires
Just fanning the flames, especially when it comes to people thinking it’s bias and a pay to win when it comes to the premium variant

Stupid people say stupid things, and advocate for stupid stuff.

Sorry mate, Germany and Italy have access to em so they will remain horrible

91

They’ll just add more fulcrums that are just as bad lmao

92

Problem with your logic is it’s not a lightly armored vehicle unlike those other vehicles, take another tank in the same line of vehicles, like the IT-1, same premise of vehicle, low silhouette, heavily armored turret on a mostly unchanged main battle tank chassis with a missile raised above the turret, does it explode when you shoot its missile, no, you just destroy the external missile, not the tank itself, same logic here

93

Relax their change didn’t change anything anyway, I can confirm it still explodes and dies when this ammo is hit from gameplay
