The S1 was more then capable, but ive noticed its slowly fallen.
Thats just because the S1 ends up running out of missiles a CAS pilot throws in one pass
If we get HARMs this year, then what could Western forces receive? I feel like whatever they add is going to be negated by the new Pantsir anyway. Russia and Japan would not even need HARMs because they have Kh-38 already, which would be superior in almost every regard.
Its still 4 seconds regardless, every nation has unique stuff or certain focuses.
The real answer maybe woukdve been bigger maps and maybe CAS not being able to carry 1 million things and maybe playing SPAA wouldnt of been so bad.
But at the end of the day, Gaijin isnt gonna stop the game because, “oh this one nation has a special system that nobody else focused on”.
Best bet would be to implement them onto the british apache’s first (limiting them to 12, as 16 can be a bit of overkill due to their attack path), see if they perform well, as they should be good due to them having similar attack path like the lmur’s, but implementing them on typhoons and other jets right now wouldnt be great imo, 6 kh38s are easier to shoot down than 18 IR brimstones, iygwim.
Ofc they’re not, but some form of balancing has to be present. The problem is there is none right now. Honestly if pantsir SMSV wasn’t added, at least all nations were somewhat vulnerable to CAS. rn Russia has the best CAS and SPAA. You can claim that IRIS-T is op, and it is, but guess what Russia also has the best heli that’s still immune to IRIS-T. Basically if one nation to to get a new capability, other nations should expect to recieve something similar or a counter. The last two major updates added amazing new things for Russia and its evident in its high player count that’s been consistent for months now.
The point is that your arguments mention multiple different trees that not necessarily play together while the other side is one tree getting pampered every single update. Even after what you wrote under that its exactly that. Youre still treating 8 tech trees like an equivalent to one. Ofc if you do that the quantity of super strong additions will be similar lol
Like with most things, HARMS are supposed to be used at long range, so these small maps again do make it pointless
BTW, the KH-38MT has no evidence of existing IRL, its a made up missile, including the MTE, which is also made up.
Mock up models exist, which fits Gaijin’s criteria.

Since when is Gaijins criteria that mock up is enough?

The top Russian teams are simply too powerful. Although many people always say things like “Russian vehicles are inferior to those of NATO” and “The MI28NM is no more powerful than the AH64E”… But all the gamers made the most realistic choices. In fact, almost all those still playing the top-level games will choose Russia. I wanted to play my top Russian team in RU and EU, but after queuing for 5 minutes, I still couldn’t enter the game. Lmao, I think maybe the queue time has become the only thing that can ruin the only thing for Russian players.

Since for a while? As long as a prototype or part of something was made, it can be put in the game.
For a pretty long time
They did it in this update as well with the radar on the Falcon
Just play at br less than 9.7. Players are spread out among the nations because there’s still balance there.
Yeah prototype or functional part which isnt the same as a mockup
I just want to tell the gaijin that I want a balance Russian team, not one that is so powerful that it takes a long time to join the game…
Well it was really never “somewhat” CAS still steamrolls the new additions if the pilot knows what theyre doing.
This vehicle is pretty much the only counter to the unchecked power of everyone being able tonsling 9-10 bombs, then drop back down to keep you distracted then come in low and strafe you. Or the belis that sling 10-12 agms from a heli, land and then do it again within a minute
Not to mention the. SACLOS missiles are currently the most optimal counter to helis, but yknow, western nations gave up on SACLOS.

Non-working prototypes count too. Gaijin just needs proof of concept that is physical and not just on paper.
2 missiles with relaod vs 48 i forgot your coping existed for a while welcome back lol
Not to mention before this new Pantsir was added this is exactly what competent pilots would do to defeat Pantsirs.
Pop up, drop like 10-12 glide or dumb bombs, drop back down, then leave you to decide youre gonna try and see where theyre gonna pop up from or take out all the munitions heading to your team.
Ethier way, you cant focus on multiple things at once.
Same tactics applies to all the SAMS
