im a much newer player than many (registered in 2022) so im none the wiser for that long ago
Su30sm sting update which let people spawn su30sm with kh38 then spawn su34 with kh38 without sp cost increase.
And last update with albatros, pucara. Also arms specifically kh31p and kh25mpu which you could use on 11.3 (now 11.7) su39 with vikhrs, r73 and r60. Nato didnt have anything remotely close. Even soviets themselves couldnt get anything like that for free (either inferior kh58u or losing 3 weapons for 2 kh31p)

Stalin approves of this post
One that nobody is really talking about is the yak-130 with guided bombs on a pretty good airframe at 9.7, most other countries don’t get their tv guided munitions until 10.3 or higher.
me when A-4E Early had TV bombs at 9.3 for years and nobody gave a shit:
Because it doesnt really offer anything over 9.3 a4e besides better agility and 1 more bomb at price of rwr, cm, aam. And appearance. Gameplay wise its essentially same as us and israeli skyhawks.
People have been quite vocal about that plane for a long time although it does have the issue that even the thought of rolling instantly snaps the wing off.
two more bombs with a much better airframe although I think its pretty common sentiment nobody likes the skyhawks at that br either.
Israeli skyhawks have 3 bombs (one of them is 900 kg) and again, their worse airframe is compensated by rwr and flares. Plus they have 2 30mm defas with more ammo. And 2 aim9b for unaware targets.
I agree with that, getting slimed with walleye hurts just as bad as getting slimed with kab500kr. Especially while playing 8.3 or 8.7 now.
