As an update, the K9 VIDAR, is a MODERN vehicle, it is from the 1980’s and still used to present day. In warthunder this is a 7.7 tank… having thermals, and a laser range finder… against 1950’s tech. How is this not seal clubbing. :/
you’re just afraid that you yourself will be disadvantaged. so stop acting like you care about the well-being of the whole sim community.
have a nice day and bye

I find it funny that you want to comment about top tier and USA vs USSR balance while having no experience in it. I actually went and looked and you have absolutely no Rank VII planes and you pretty much exclusively fly USA. Your highest ranked USSR/CHN plane is a Rank V Jet.
You have also said in a previous post.
I actually have played top tier, and I have actually played all sides of the current matchmaker. And I played it during the last patch as well.
I played around 70 games in the MiG-29 SMT for the last patch and got a whopping 9% win rate to show for it. In the exact same timeframe I also played the F-16C on my PS account and got a 97% win rate for it. I have also played Gripen for an 85% win rate and the Su-27 for a 25% win rate in this current patch.
Why do you think those win rates are so radically different? This is a rhetorical question and one you would not be able to answer…because to reiterate…you have not played the game above USA 10.7 BR.
The answer is rather simple. There are more USA players than anything else in the game. Games like this are not uncommon; its 25 minutes into the EC match and the USA team already has 6 more players than the USSR team.
On top of that the USA/NATO top tier planes are just straight up superior in performance and weapons load-out than the USSR planes. The only plane that the USSR has going for it is the Su-27, and it’s main merit is that it’s a gigantic missile bus with mediocre sustained turn performance.
If I merge with pretty much any Su-27 player in the game while flying JAS-39, F-15A, or F-16C/A I almost immediately have the upper hand in a dogfight; the only thing the Su-27 actually does well is bleed all of its speed in a turn like a delta-wing and it can hope to shoot an HMD R-73. If a USA player understands how to pre-flare then all of the advantages of the Su-27 are completely neutered.
The accusation that you are making about myself only wanting to play with an advantage is pure projection on your part. You don’t have any answers to my questions so you have to act like a child and deflect with personal attacks. If you are going to do that maybe at least make them original and not just a reflection of yourself.

This all at moment is just a snapshot. Update after update comes. new aircraft are constantly being added. Br shifts. sometimes good, sometimes bad. back when the MiG-23 was added, everyone wanted to fly Russia. It all depends on Gaijin what happens in the future.
As an EC player for years, I don’t need your permission to use this forum. :) I know EC. also jets. unfortunately top tier is exactly the same EC as the rest. the same maps, the same mission objectives, just newer aircraft. and it’s a shame that there aren’t new innovations and other improved tasks there.
so and I would like to see improvements for all Sim players. low tier, middle tier, top tier, future tier. every tier. even for you.
but- improvements without “arcade style”. That’s the simple point.
and if too many only fly USA aircraft then make innovative suggestions to make Russia or China more attractive. That might make more sense than snooping around on other profiles. and these “you have no experience” forum sherrifs never make a game better. That do most people here know!
and the absolute joke is. I don’t want to take anything away from the people who want to play Nation Mix. You are welcome to combine Mexico, North Pole, Switzerland and all NATO countries with Russia on an Star Wars ice planet map. I don’t care at all. I and other players want parallel to more authentic alternatives. small thing and absolutely legitimate.
So now, goodbye.
If you pick the right matches, you can state any narative you want. That was 3 out of 8 matches active when I took the screenshots. 2 were NATO heavy the rest were 50/50 split.

Yep, even now, all 12.7-11.7 or 11.3-10.7 matches are either 50/50 split or have a slight USSR advantage.

yes, even small changes like today’s can trigger many changes.
Bring back the ‘Ludwig van’ hangar music.
You picked three non-top tier matches to prove that team composition at top tier is balanced?
All three of the games that you picked are not top tier. They are 10.7 - 11.3 bracket games which is a particularly unfavorable bracket for USA and one that particularly favors planes like MiG-23ML variants.
All 3 were 11.7-12.7. I made sure to find those.
Is that even top tier?
99% sure all 3 were 11.7 to 12.7 matches
I can’t remember the last time I even saw one server with that many Russians compared to USA in top tier
It changes wildly from Rotation to rotation and time of day and day of week.
With the new rotations 11.3 looked quite populated and the 10.3 bracket looked a little NATO heavy. (Iirc)
You are lying and I can prove it. You went and cherrypicked a bunch of 10.7-11.7 games. All of these games feature players that do not have USSR top tier planes unlocked which means that they would not be able to get into 11.7 - 12.7 BR games.
Game #1
Player-card NomikomaSen does not have USSR top tier at all.
Player-card Tornado_62 also does not have USSR top tier.
Game #2
Player-card BORN_TO_WIN only has 11.0 as highest BR.
Player-card _Big_Bad_Wolf is another MiG-23ML player.
Game #3
Player-card FlyR
Player-card AiR_TV

You keep blabbering because only your experience matters.
I continue to join games where it’s only me and one or two other players. The match will have 5-6 active Russian players. I’ve played very few matches with Russia not dominating the matches.
I’d love to come join your matches were the F-16 pilots are dominant. That sounds rather enjoyable.

…then make suggestions to make Russia more interesting. new airplanes for Russia? or a disability bonus for Russia? or canned food from the “special operation”.
