Just as we thought the toptier situation couldn’t get worse, Gajin, for some reason, decides that the nation with the second best MBTs (the best on some maps), the best SPAA, the best helicopters, and already very powerful CAS, should also get borderline OP CAS. Russia did not, and does not need the Su-34. What makes it worse, is the only nation that gets SPAA that can even do anything about Su-34, is Russia.
With this particular logic, America lacks powerful light tanks, MBTs, helicopters, and SPAA. CAS is the only advantage America has, and you still needa get spawn points with crappy vehicles to use it in the first place.
The only nation with a worse toptier MBT is Israel. Russia’s T-80, Germany’s Italy’s France’s and Sweden’s Leopard 2, Britain’s T-90, Japan’s Type, and China’s Russian MBT clones are all leagues better than Abrams could even dream of being.
Watch out man! Russian 13.7 air is super lacking! They can’t do anything against the other trees!
Their Gen 4 airframes can’t handle a 3rd gen airframe with AIM-120s!
but don’t take a look at ANYTHING else regarding them! ONLY compare all their jets to the F-15E!!!
It’s fair, when you take in the context of everything else about it.
It struggles? against the F-15E. basically nothing else. No other tree besides US, 1 jet in Israel/JPN.
It has the most insane CAS loadout, far better than other trees, SPAA cant even hit you before you can launch on them, and realistically the only SPAA that can effectively stop those incoming missiles are the Pantsir, which this will never face. It is the most effective CAS plane now.
You don’t see other nations complaining that their Fighter-Bomber/Strike Aircraft (which is what the Su-34 is) not being able to dominate or being worried their BOMBER/STRIKE aircraft’s AMRAAMS are lacking…
You get AMRAAMS, RWR, and a good radar.
“Gripen should’ve never been added” vibes with this post.
Also Sweden doesn’t have the Su-34, nor does USA [3rd best MBTs].
Nor Italy.
Best helicopters go to Italy, France, Germany, and Israel.
Even China has better helicopters than USSR.
No country has good SPAA.
USA was the only one with powerful CAS before Su-34 was added as the first jet USSR got on-par with F-16C.
