27sm is fun too but it’s radar is my only complaint especially when your being targeted by multiple people, recently though I’ve been using the j-11b as its radar isn’t as bad and has better modes for its tws. If you want to make the sm really efficient you do need to hard lock which drops your situational awareness buy a lot
I wasn’t having a good day; the other SU-27SMs were really hunting everyone down, even the YouTuber Simply Sinful was there. Most American mains are terrible at SIM; all they know how to do is attack bases. I even escorted an enemy to a base once.
And I haven’t been playing much War Thunder these days, I’m rusty on the SIM, (sorry simplysinful for the teamkill)
I totally get that sim is another level and yea American mains for whatever reason like to PVE a lot it’s usually a chicken shoot untill a decent eft or rafale shows up
Or the typical tree hugger lmao but yea the afghan map is very hit or miss depending on whose in your team, I like to eat in the hills in the 27sm but I’ll challenge bvr in the 30 all day
That’s one of the problems with SM; I love it in the SIM even though I don’t play much, but that radar, holy God of forum moderators, forgive my language, is a complete piece of shit N007VEP in the SIM, but otherwise it’s a 10/10.

Agreed, flight model wise it’s cracked, I tested it with my buddy and there’s a little trick you can do and it will out rate pretty much everything in the horizontal but the radar makes me want to slam my plane into the nearest mountain
I don’t know what Afghanistan has against me, because my performance there is awful, and one of the reasons I’ve been out of the SIM for so long is the Rafale.
Rocky canyons is probably one of my favorites atm as multipathing seems to not exist there for whatever reason and if I want cluster f gameplay I’ll try to find Tunisia
There were some enemy aircraft in the middle of the plane, I think they were Gripens, they were beeping on the RWR getting closer and closer and the damn radar couldn’t see anything above or below, when I realized it I was in the middle of a horrible mess and my situational awareness vanished like water.
Rocky canyon is good i agree
Yep, I run into that all the time, also I love the people complaining about controls for sim and needing a flight stick and all that man I play on controller I have keybinds ontop of keybinds and I do alright. I do get though kbm sucks if you are using wasd controls but at least you have the keys to bind things too
At first I thought the controls would be difficult, but they were the easiest thing in the world to set up. I use practically the same controls as the Air RB; I just set the aircraft’s full controls and the view mode, and the SAS damping. It’s simply smooth and easy to use, both on the keyboard and the mouse.
And I’m sorry to the post made about adding r-77m to the sm2 but it definitely doesn’t need it, that missile will come with the 120d, meteor, mica ng, that would make the sm2 op but as it stands with the -1’s it’s not going to turn the tide like people seem to claim it will
I haven’t touched pointer since I started (the guys who I got me into this played ace combat 7with me) I just copied its controls over and it worked, just had to add more as more came out but yea sas is a life saver

You people always knee jerk anything new for Russia because let’s face it. You’re filled with hate and fear for an entire group of people. I’m American and it’s nice to see Russia getting aircraft that can compete with the rafale and new aesa euro fighters. Now if only they would fix some of the American aircraft to be competitive.

The US received aircraft from the 1990s and 2000s, the USSR and Europe received aircraft from the 2020s. And Russia will always receive OPs.

I’d really like to see American aircraft receive new air-to-ground weaponry.
I believe they need the addition of the GBU-53/B StormBreaker or the AGM-154C I also hope they provide the Typhoon with HOSBO
Currently, the best CAS choices for aircraft are the Kh-38 and the AASM Hammer
The AL-41 engine allows the Su-30 to return to the airfield more quickly (I am not against the Su-30 obtaining the AL-41).
However, I believe this will exacerbate the CAS imbalance in GRB

However R-27ER works only with hard lock, have been trying to do it during several updates, but didn’t work.
People just hard lock the target, launch, then release the lock so their RWR will stop warning about the missile and once by radar you see the missile is close enough, you just hard lock it again and using data link, it reaches the target.
Hard lock - inertial flight - lock again and bingo.
People keep the TWS on because it’s just more comfortable to track the target like tha
Have you actually looked at the numbers or done any research into this?
Even in RB, the game count and player numbers started falling off a cliff in February. The only spikes in player activity are from airplane build events like the F-106.
I haven’t even bothered booting the game up.
This is what sim allegedly looks like 2 hours before the servers update.
The game itself has a massive player turnover rate. Most people that play are not going to bother grinding multiple trees to top tier.

True. If there’s no event or new vehicle that interests me, I usually just open the game claim the daily login reward and then close the game
Remember the vt4 incident? you didnt want to give japan a vt4, but happily took in an m1a2 from taiwan, you guys play the victim card so perfectly.
