Squadron vehicles takes too much time to unlock 🥹
Let me fill that list:
Spikes, Brimstone, Pars3, Tow2B’s, Mavericks all under performing by a lot, some used to actually be pretty good like the Tow2B but it got nerfed right away and they made it useless and they never cared about it ever again.
The Tiger UHT after 5 years still can’t use the optics mast at all. A big feature and why the Tiger should be still viable currently its a dead vehicle because Pars3 work like Spike… Exactly they don’t work because they just simply not accurate at all and the damage they do is laughable (The Pars3 weights 5 times as much as a Spike missile and does the exact same damage let that sink in). The Pars3 also can’t use its top down mode or salvo mode like advertised from MBDA. Funny how they added the correct top attack mode for the LMUR right away. Balance? Naaa… 25kg HE warhead totally fine on a fnf missile especially we are talking about the game War Thunder which has one and only one way to consistently get Tank (Nato) kills, aka over pressure.
I could add more but this is not talked about to much tbh and should be talked about way more because again something like a Tow2B should kill MBT’s again since the game has changed alot (Hardkill APS, Tow flight performance nerfs, better missile on lower BR’s). The Tow2B had a single main purpose, to destroy MBT’s. INFACT: It was developed primarily to defeat increasingly heavy frontal armor and ERA by attacking the thin top armor of modern main battle tanks. THE MISSILE is still under production and used for that exact same purpose…
I wish they stopped adding vehicle to the game for a year go back and start from the moment they added modern stuff to the game and just add everything that is missing for 4-5 years.

I am rank 8 in air in all nations but sweden and italy. I don’t touch US jets over 12.3
F-18s just suck.
Israel has better/ more interesting f-16s
China has the better 13.3 F-16A, and israel the better 13.3 F-16 overall (also the best 13.3 jet now with the j-11a there)
Japan has better 13.7 F-15C
Israel has better F-15E (15I)
F-15 golden eagle? Su-30SM2 is better in every way.
14.3 overall is just not worth it unless you are a rafale or su30sm2. Just stick to 13.7 jets
Overall, there is just no reason to play US, its just poorly matched against the competition, just not to the point to deserve lower BRs because of compression

There’s no such thing as su27SM2

typo
denied F15s historical buff and gave russia one for no reason
acutal just blatant bias
Su-27/30 family of aircraft (J-11, Su-33, Su-34 included) — the lift on high angles of attack has been increased, balance on high AoA has been adjusted, the maximum AoA turn characteristics have been adjusted to closer match those in the Su-27SK manual.

I’ve been playing the SM2 and watching people play the SM2, and I don’t know if it’s just me but the radar is a bit disappointing.
The new radar scan limits are pretty nice, however it seems to struggle a lot when it comes to keeping lock while moving or notching.
There is also the fact that it can theoretically go as far as 400km of scale but it only reaches as far around 97km, which is a bit sad since that means you can’t scan the entire map at the same time.
Lastly, I don’t see any noticeable difference when it comes to chaff resistance.
Of course one may chuck these statements into the bucket of “skill issue” if feeling smug enough to do so, however I would argue the Irbis-E radar is lackluster in comparison to other AESA competitors, and its only considerable gimmick, the insane scan regions are not as crazy as one may think.
This of course, is my opinion, though I am expecting to get flamed into hell, oblivion and beyond for stating this.
They are. The AIM-120C5 all boost booster is only 15% more power than the sustain part of the boost/sustain booster of the AIM-120A/B
A/B have ~45% more power off the rail for ~2 seconds of boost and less weight
C5 is heavier and slower off the rail
(no this isn’t what the manufacturer states)

The Su30sm2 got buffed based on this “manual” of a Su27MK
It looks authentic but it does not prove:
That this came from an official unclassified manual (although language and style is similar to other documents), that it was used operationally, that it reflects exact real-world performance (could be theoretical or conservative)
Did you not read the developer’s response? The report’s assumption was wrong and shows it was already modeled closely to that document. It’s not blatant bias.

the su27 family is getting a buff out of the blue, while the mig 29 with hundreds of reports just gets ignored. I swear, Gaijin has something against the mig 29

Yeah it doesn’t look as cool. Gaijin knows whats up
Even i have stopped playing US jets over 12.3. Sometimes i play the F-16C or AV-8B but that’s has also stopped after this update. 12.3 F-18A is just fun and I just play with that or focus on other tree.
Good on you, if you have the time, and the willpower/motivation, shoot for the moon by all means. However, I know you weren’t happy at all with the Heli grind if it was 1/2 as bad as the current unless you used ground.
Trying to use the KA-50 in PVE as a grinder didn’t ever work well for me ngl, only about 20-40k a match, when I get 140k using the Mi-24V.
20k squadron points every 3 days, so at a rate (assuming you get on and play 1-2 out of the 3 days to get max RP) it’s 20k/3 days for a rate of 6,666.67 SQ-RP a day, which is roughly 87 days of grinding, as low as 59 for the SU-33.
It’s literally easier to get to top tier in that amount of time with a prem account and learning vehicles along the way than wasting 5-8k GE on a single plane, without a talisman. I’ve ground out Rank IV-VI (4-7) with the F-4S & premium time in a week…
I literally already have top tier air for USA in a week. DO NOT WASTE GE ON A SQUADRON VEHICLE. They are more or less to bolster a lineup.
Well i did grind heli through ground however non of them are spaded because i despise Heli PVE and grinding heli modification through ground is not fun in any manner
