The F-23 would be just as realistic as most things at top tier.

About as realistic as dual R-77-1 and Kh-38MT as well as Kh-38 in general on some aircraft

biggest offender considering the thing it replaces exist as mockup while actual ostwind was literally a fucking drawing.

Chinese don’t have it as well
German don’t even have FnF A2G for jet
But Russia need the most for some reasons?

I do. They’d finally hit targets moving in straight lines, AND be moved to higher BRs away from korean war aircraft. More importantly they wouldn’t be straight downgrades to the HE-VT SPAAs they ultimately replaced.
Strela-10M2 is lower than 10.7 with probably better or comparable performance to the buffed Stingers.
I suspect at least the Production will be removed shortly after the Thai ground subtree. Call it an educated guess.
Ostwind 2 existed.
Russian cas main*

And will be moved up to a BR where they’ll get blatantly outranged by CAS.
It’s at 10.3 as it has literally nothing else than it’s missiles.
You need to realize our Stinger slingers aren’t totally barebones like Strela. Other benefits are the reason they’re so high in BR currently.

I’ve played almost all nations and can’t agree. Even the most complained about nation (UK) is really good until you hit 12.0 vehicles.
In this instance, yes, but in general, CAS mains
Drawing. Beside the proposed model was top bottom, not side by side.
They are already outranged by CAS; at least then they won’t miss the easiest targets flying in straight lines.
Type 81 also has nothing but its missiles. Now just one step below Pantsir and very very far away from the Strela-10M2.
It has a combination of R-73 and AIM-9M IRCCM, it’s possible to flare it if one knows how to do so. Place flares between the missile and your aircraft, continue flaring while turning until you exit the FoV of the missile. You defeat a Stinger seeker the same way as you defeat a TY-90 seeker.
The reason I was being “captain obvious” is because you seemed to be stating some strawman of “It’s either all realistic or Ace Combat with tanks”. These things are not mutually exclusive. You can still have realism within a game and still adhere to common game design and player quality-of-life.
If trees are missing lineups due to not having many vehicles, instead of making them unplayable by not adding any tanks/planes/ships, you can make some allowances. If anything, Gaijin made those ‘allowences’ a long time ago when their standards were different. The reason the Ho-Ris and such aren’t removed is because there isn’t anything to replace them with. Japan doesn’t have any WW2 tank destroyers. But, for the players’ sake, they can be allowed to exist. They aren’t broken, they aren’t dividing the community.
The KH38MTs, are complete fiction. When I said that they weren’t unique in purpose, I simply meant that Russia is not lacking in A2G munitions like Japan is lacking in WW2 TDs. There does not need to be any allowance made for the 38MTs, because the USSR has plenty of A2G missiles. (EDIT - I forgot to talk about the AGM65D thing - edit is in bold) The Maverick ‘problem’ is not a problem because Pantsirs can (and do) easily shoot them down. No other nations ingame have an SPAA even remotely comparable to the Pantsir. This isn’t a ‘cope’, it’s a straight fact. From a “realism” standpoint, the Pantsir’s addition makes sense. From a balance one… not so much. Russia isn’t even lacking in AA. Sure, if Gaijin added the F-22 it might be “realistic”, but does that mean it has a place in game?? No, because those things are not mutually exclusive.
The ships are differen’t because it’s a lot harder to make a ship. You’ve been told this and yet adamantly stand on your “all or nothing” hill.

Thats why you have such exceptional stats in the whopping 20 games you played with 4 or 5 soviet tanks.
