Been playing Japan top tier for the last couple days, taking the type 93 is a complete gamble on whether you can actually kill something. Helicopters spawn too far out to lock on, drones spawn too far out to lock on, when you finally do get a lock, KA-50s and SU-25s EAT the SAMs no problem, on multiple occasions now I have directly hit the nose of an SU-25 for it only to get a “hit”. Japan needs something and it needs it now. Wish there was plans for a type 11 or type 81, that’d finally close the gap.
imagine they add f16 but missiles nerfed by half in range and G pull, you get early radar instead of PD that never was installed on jet and all of that was done simply to fit it against early F4 at ~10br because gaijin don’t want to implement propper equivalent
Thats what type93 is - an absolute bullshit

And is Russian spoken in Japan?, not yhm, unfortunately we can’t help, gaijn
Yesterday I was able to lock helicopter (I think it was aluete) at range of aproxumetly 3 km and destroy it.
Did something change or I was extremly lucky?

Yep thats what I told to myself and then proceded to destroy Arado blitz that I saw for split second befor he hid behind forest
I think they changed something (might not be intentional though) because today my missile did this. Normally I can’t even lock them.
Jop the same thing happend to me
Interesting I’ll have to give it a go myself
I remember in one type 91 bug report, that they said to put a suggestion in the forums for a visible light seeker.
Has that been done yet? I don’t see any traces of that in the forums
Am I the only one that feels as though there’s been a shadow-nerf to MANPADS, or maybe just the Type 91 in particular, when it comes to it’s handling characteristics?
I had a drone 1km away, the little recon ones, and before the update I could hit them relatively easily even if they were bobbing but now, it just can’t hit it for the life of him. In that same match I had to fire 4 missiles as an Su-7BMK because the first one barely pulled to try keeping up with his slight turn, the second missile flew off course from a slight barrel roll, the third took out part of his wing via blast radius but was about to miss like the second, and the fourth finally blew the wing off but still didn’t enjoy tracking.
So I did something awesome today

360 back flip, good air time 10/10
They didn’t, you simply shot it in the back where heli don’t have invincible armor. Usually enemy ka-50\52 just don’t turn sides or back to you
Even if they did make target lock better don’t worry it will be fixed and reverted to broken state in less then a week like they did it for 3 years(or 4 already, when nerf-dart spaa was released?)
You cant lock Ka-52 at all (Like, i have never managed to lock ka-52 from any range and any angle)
You supposed to be able to lock ka-52 because of visual seeker on type91. And you even could lock ka-52 for some time long ago but that was “fixed” in less then a week(You still couldn’t kill it because of stalinum tho)
War Thunder parkour XD LOL
YES OMG

Now lets hope they don’t break it as bad as the Type 91 is. I am a little more optimistic tho since these are not manpads so maybe they won’t be coded as bad.
