But i had A LOT OF GAMES of USA vs everyone. SO USA being extra dominant top dog does affect the matchmaker in RB

Their limitations in modelling only seem to benefit western planes… ehm F-16 would be “bricked if we did that sorry!! so we will keep it as UFO”
But only negatively affects eastern aircraft somehow.
Thus, invalid argument. Since these limitations mean “artificially buffing” F-16
But somehow nerfing MIG-29 and SU-27

I mean its all speculation. I guess you can believe your conspiracy that Gaijin for some reason hates the Flanker and the Fulcrum.
I am not saying it’s a conspiracy, it’s just how it is.
Their limitations only benefit western stuff while butchering eastern aircraft.
I am not saying this is the intention, but that it just is

It’s not a conspiracy, that is directly from the developers mouth. They stated that until they can model unstable aircraft they have chosen to allow the F-16 to heavily overperform. Likewise, they have chosen not to model the Su-27 similarly to maintain the “Cobra” capability.

I mean yeah that’s how it is. But you make it seem like Gaijin has some ulterior motives.
Maybe they do maybe they don’t, we can never know. But my assumption is that they do.
But they have shown 0 effort to fix the imbalance and inaccuracies regarding eastern aircraft, they instead keep butchering them

Of course they do, they think this is best for the gameplay but they would know better if they actually played their own game. Most of the devs only play arcade.

Who knows. Knowing Gaijin they sometimes unfortunately take forever to try and fix something.
So what would be the reason for the fulcrum then ? I mean afaik it’s a stable aircraft
Ulterior motives as in “I hate this one nation in particular”.
Now this is funny

NO. The motive is different.
It is business based.
USA is the nation of pop culture. %90 of global mass media consumption derives from USA/American culture in one way or another.
When you mention the word “fighter jet” to a clueless person in the west who has 0 interest in aviation, what do they think of? F-16, F-15.
Western players have the highest GDP per capita. Largest amount of disposable income for hobbies, like War Thunder. They pay the most.
Most players dont play every nation like some Veterans here do.
They choose 1 nation and stick to it, forever.
And guess which nation is picked the most, by the group that pays the most?
USA.
US playerbase has the lowest skill base, with the highest number of players. This low skill average is inevitable, when it is played by so many.
So what happens?
The US planes must literally be superior for these new level 20 players or casual masses to feel good and actually get kills in, for them to keep paying. Otherwise, there would be an outrage and less business from this playerbase.
Go figure the rest.

Very good choice. Most dynamic tank&air gamemode
Not a good choice when talking about fixing their own game lmao

Best, but yes, not for fixing, only for playing

This is irrelevant. Mixed battles in RB keep team A and team B balanced, but it only muddies the water in showing nation vs nation balance. The state of simulator matches shows the sorry state of balance in the game right now.
There’s not many nations fielding domestic planes at this BR either. It’s mostly team USA planes or team Russia planes, with a spattering of some swedish and french planes too. The blatant power gap between what USA is fielding and what the 2nd largest nation is fielding is a major concern that will need to be addressed.

Well i agree the good old days when i used to play arcade in the ps4 were the best, almost never getting upset in a match.
So they have intent to further improve the physics of the game?
I believe they do, and there’s 3 instances of evidence of their attempts in the last 2 years…
