Sukhoi Su-27/30/33/35/37 Flanker series & Su-34 Fullback - History, Design, Performance & Dissection (Part 2)

He’s ruining the game and you can see that with RB mixed battles even top tier is single point caps on postage stamp sized maps!

23 was great R-24T and R were near guaranteed kills and R-60M and MK was better than 9G/J/H
Facing these in an FGR-2 Phantom was pure pain.

well, as long as he is in charge, you can scream as much as you want, won’t matter. War Thunder doesn’t know what it wants to be right now, they should pick direction and push there instead of trying to grasp everything

MLD didn’t had R-60Ms at the time, and MiG-23M only had R-23s which are quite a bit worse than R-24s.

They have so much potential yet they opt for the arcade style game modes
We should be looking at large scale dynamic campaigns for WW2, Korean War, Cold War and modern day and lock the vehicle types. Sure have the watered down “RB” mode but give players something else.

With time periods also comes balance you have a 70s F-15 facing a 70s MiG 29
Not a 90s F-15 facing 2020s Typhoon/Rafale

So 70’s F-15 raping… nothing? 29 did not exist yet

Never forget my goat.

Was looking more the time period from the 70s - the end of cold war which would give some balanced aircraft.

80s F-15 vs 80s MiG 29

so i found a good quality image of the better r27t seeker. got no info this so if anyone have something. i will gladly accept it and try to make a suggestion for it

Those are Ukrainian upgraded seekerheads not Russian ones. Russian planes won’t be using those specific models

Weren’t soviet/russian ir seekerheads produced in Ukraine until recently?
What models are used then ?

Recently being almost a decade ago I think

Yes.
I looked into it a bit, and from my limited research I don’t know whether Russia received those upgraded versions.
But it’s likely that China did interestingly

And the predecessor to the best R-37 platform is added this update

you know that the su35 came before the Su-30SM2?
