Stop talking nonsense. NATO aircraft had been farming easy wins in top-tier matches for over a year. Even the addition of the Su-30 didn’t really shift the balance. But it gave Red Team players something crucial—a usable radar. And oh boy, the meltdown began…
Players who’d gotten used to pressing a single key on their keyboard suddenly faced an insurmountable obstacle—now someone could actually detect them and fire back. How unfair! And the same injustice awaits them on the ground, because now Red Team finally has weapons that can kill tanks, while Blue Team has had an entire arsenal of such tools for ages—plus those sweet targeting pods.

All other Soviet fighters at its BR fly with the R-60M, which is significantly worse than the AIM-9L. Are you joking, or do you just not understand the game, or are you trying to pass off wishful thinking as reality?
Also, I remember the times when the F-14 was 0.3 BR higher than all other third-generation fighters, yet anyone on the English-speaking forum tried to prove how ‘weak’ and ‘useless’ it actually was—while anyone who argued otherwise got mocked. So, how should we treat threads like this on this forum? As a genuine discussion about a real issue, or as a thread made just to make life easier for one side?

They actually did, quite a bit.

Yeah I don’t know where this guy is pulling his info, the main reason the TOW-2B is hot garbage is because the Russian community winged critically hard because it was popping T series tanks left and right, so gaijin promptly nerfed it into the ground.
There area myriad of other examples outside of US vehicles of this occurring as well.

F-14A has AIM-9H or P

I distinctively remember when 2A7V got added most russian players nearly had a stroke claimimg that now when they cant point-and-click Leo 2 hull, game is unbalanced.

They still complain about aim-120, even after getting r-77-1

You do get that Gaijin has been sitting on various accepted reports that would significantly improve the performance of a multitude of characteristics across a broad range of relevant stores, yes?
FIM-92
AIM-120
This isn’t even all of them, only the ones I had to hand, and am keeping track personally. It should be self evident that historic reports are used to “supplement” balancing, to allow for performance adjustments to occur outside the regular balancing passes. Not as a first-in, first-out Triaged queuing system like one would expect with a properly functioning reporting scheme in most cases.
Just take for example the following report
“Not a bug.
These are inert AGM-65s (blue strips around missile), combat AGM-65s loaded on the LAU-88 cannot be hung next to the LITENING in order to avoid damage the optics by engine flame.”
Where pictorial evidence was refused, because of all things they were inert, which is far greater evidence of it being possible then a mockup, but well that’s what we get.
Further many aircraft are missing targeting pods (e.g. US F-4E / F-16A), and they could in effect appear as low as ~8.0 (possibly lower if the ALD was modeled, but as it was hand held it’s unlikely ) with the addition of the B-75G Tropic Moon III, to the B-57B, the first such aircraft to be capable of self-designation for laser guided PGMs / cannons (program, “PAVE GAT”, a laser directed M197).

press x to doubt. russian players in general don’t seem to complain more nor less than others, and some sure didn’t appreciate when i spawn camped their doom machine (KH slinger) with AAMs in ground RB, while they had R-77-1 on their own.
A weapon that doesn’t exist, might i add

That’s not how it works for modifications: when a mod is removed, rp/golden/ SL are recreddited and that’s it. I’m not sure they could make a modification available for some and not for the other while vehicle can.
Anyway if the weapon doesn’t exist it shouldn’t be in game. Br can be adjusted if needed, Grom 1 could be re-added if needed… But same rules is to be applied: not produced or tested (let alone tested on the airframe) then it shouldn’t be in game

You really need help to determine the cons of aircraft like SM3 or SU-34 ?
What? A strike aircraft cant dogfight? Thats a con? They already shoot from a damn airfield u want more?
U russians always dont have enough

You can’t balance things that don’t even have BR attached to them lol. Try with vehicles next time, you know, the right way.
How it isn’t a con, are you being serious ?
Enemy aircraft can and will spawn, you aren’t the only one allowed to fly.
So whats a con in ur opinion
Not gonna lie - Su-34 is one of my most favourite planes even without Kh-38MT. I have those missiles but I never used it because no need. Groms or UMPK can solve most of targets which I attack on safe distance of 30 km.
su34 has one of the best radars in the game and the r77 is fine for ground rb, the only problem with the su34 as a dogfighting platform is the lack of an hmd system as the airframe retains a great deal of maneuverability. You painting it as anything other than an S tier aircraft is frankly hilarious. Also the lack of a thermal pod isn’t even a problem because I’m supposed to believe they found it more cost effective to just attach it to the missile. (kh38mt)
