Honestly I would rather see Gaijin ungimp the Su-27 and MiG-29 flight models before we give them new Fox-3s. I do think the R-77-1 and AIM-120C-5 (and ungimped AAM-4) would be balanced in a vacuum but they would outclass other missiles like the Derby and MICA at the moment.

Hold up I got a solution for you
It doesn’t need to be the best of the best, but having less practical range than the surface launched variant is a little weird.

And the mig 29M has never shone in any plums? Maybe someday, thousands of years ago, somewhere, a line was assigned to it and there is a chance that it will be added in a new update?
I actually don’t have top tier Russia unlocked at all, I just feel Russia is a bit dead at top tier and they could do with something to revive it. I mean the R-73 is super inconsistent, and the R-77 is objectively the worst medium range Fox-3 and the SU-27 flight model is bad for the top tier meta, even if it does get fixed it will still be bad. The Russian have it bad and it makes the game less fun to play.

I don’t see how you not having top tier Russia was in any way relevant but ok
And yes Russia deserves better to combat AMRAAMs, the R-27EA is not it though.

Can’t they just introduce the R-77-1 already, tbh.

So as I said earlier this week; this will be yet another typical “cliffhanger weekend”, as always xD
1-2 Dev Blogs, then Saturday, Sunday and possibly Monday without any more news.
You were speaking as though I want the R-27EA for myself, I wanted to clarify that even if added, I won’t get it.
I never refered to you having it, only Russian top tier having it.
Me when the leaklist had no fa18.

Seems to be referring to me directly a decent bit.
And I agree the MiG-29M would be good, but it doesn’t significantly fix Russia’s top tier issues, and with the way War Thunder models drag I don’t see the R-77-1 helping much at all that is why I suggested the R-27AE.
What ever happened to Dev Q&A’s, did they stop doing that?
They are afraid of us

It’s a big shame. They were extremely helpful at addressing concerns and setting out some expectations.
Because they’ll be flamed especially if it is a topic regarding balancing/nations.
Well apparently someone missed a lesson in English class so here we go:
Referring to your constant cope for the R-27EA, nowhere was it mentioned or implied you had Russian top tier.
You took this bit out of context, it refers to you asking for a good missile for Russian top tier air, again not implying or outright stating you had it. I can ask for the ASRAAM despite not having British top tier air.
Referring to you begging for the R-27EA, nothing more.
I refer to you because I am replying to you, if you want me to speak to the void I will.
