iirc. Thats what Gaijin beleives but it is widely debated among the community whether or not that is true.

I dont know why that would be the case, you would certainly not be able to get a lock from as long of range but would definitly be functional within a certain distance, and as long as thats over 3-5km it would work fine if you just launched it at the battlefield without locking first
Aye, everytime the topic is raised it seems quite contentious. I’m not nearly ITK enough to come to my own conclusions on it. Can only parrot the takes of others.
It’ll be very interesting to see how they handle the mechanics for such a thing though.
I doubt any radar weaker than tor or pantsir can even get picked up by major ARMs besides AGM-122. But it can be like the wargame way and say lets forget realism - but in this game it would result in huge unbalanced CAS domination.
I really dont see why not, the antennas for an RWR isnt much bigger than the one in a ARM seeker
R-77-1/RVV-SD for MiG-29, Su-27 & Su-30 later variants, Su-35S and MiG-35
But at present MiG-29SMT (9-19) only used R-77-1
5 Fighter Aircraft top tier only armed AIM-120C-5
I suppoese in the future JAS 39 Gripen C & F-16A Block 15 ADF (RTAF) and another american 4th gen fighter aircraft carry AIM-120C-5
ODL? Not sure what you mean by that.
Su-34 can usually gamble for a single turn shot, but you still need ACM to help get the window of opportunity for a kill.
Not impossible, but not easy either.

This is why the blue and yellow country turned it’s AD off after the first night of the thing we can’t talk about because of the reasons. The Russians never finished off all the major AD assets.
The West has been flying AWACS and ELINT planes from the Baltics to the Balkans and into the Black Sea to assist in detection so the remaining sites can fire on targets with minimal risk.
This is also why not even the Serbian/Kosovo situation was as dangerous for a pilot to operate in as the current situation in the place we can’t talk about.
I don’t think the flight models of Sukhois are incorrect.
They perform better than an F-15E, and as well if not better than an F-15C.
They perform slightly worse than an F-16 which they should.
The biggest thing is Sukhois have a high max fuel load which means they have a high minimum.
But that’s more a discussion for the Sukhoi topic.
I like how the SU 27 performs so I don’t really understand where all the complaints about the FM are coming from but then again people say the panstir isn’t OP so maybe people have unrealistic expectations, I cannot say the same for the MiG 29.
It’s hard for a vehicle to be OP when it can’t even frag the thing it was designed for.
Put a Pantsir against any CAS playing remotely correctly, and the CAS will have zero deaths.
You make it a 6 hour 1v1, and the Pantsir will have over 100 deaths to the CAS’s zero.
The only way to frag CAS at top BR is to bring a fighter.
Blog today?
I’m pretty sure the issue is the instructor and the implementation of flaperons.
Rather than allowing the Flanker to hold speed it deploys flaps.

sure the top 1% are able to be very deadly when using a decent CAS platform but the Pantsir is A) the best SPAA in the game and B) still very cable of dealing with CAS, they are the best at hitting planes and the munitions they are firing.
My point is not the CAS is not a problem or ahead of SPAAs but rather that people complaining about the panstir must have unrealistic expectations or are just bad. While I will say the SU 27 is not top sure but it is a capable jet and nothing to sneeze at so unless there is an actual issue with the FM i.e. sources stating performance does not reflect what we are seeing in game then I just do not understand what they want done.
Anyway sorry for the off topic
New day new blog?
Pantsir is not capable of dealing with today’s CAS.
Pantsir’s direct equivalent CAS platform is Harrier GR7 using AGM-65s. Meaning in an equal engagement both have an equal chance of fragging the other.
There’s a reason Gaijin admitted ALL SPAA in War Thunder right now is proven to be incapable of providing balance. Us CAS mains have been telling you guys that Pantsir is useless since it was announced, not introduced but announced.
So yeah, new SPAA has been needed since Jan 2023 that’s better than Pantsir, such as SPYDER with Python 5.

I wouldn’t say that. Having played the Pantsir myself, it’s more than capable. Yes, it can be overwhelmed, but that’s true for any and all SPAA. I do agree that we need more and better SPAA though, that is for sure.
I definitely wouldn’t say that. If you want to consider a 1v1 between equally competent players, a Q-5L has zero chance against a Pantsir. The Pantsir is able to knock out the Q-5L’s weaponry without issue, and it absolutely can kill a high altitude Q-5L.
Again, I agree we need better SPAA. But the Pantsir definitely isn’t so bad as to be equivalent to a Q-5L.

Its just that planes in general advanced way to fast for ground to catch up.
