It’s pretty similar. You can get kills with inferior kit. It’s still inferior. They’re still not the weapons of choice for someone serious about competing. You can get kills with 27ERs but they’re dinosaur weapons of yesteryear in the fox3 domain of top tier.
You can “stealth” guide. Its not 100% but it works on some people. If you lose lock, simply lock another target.
They can do that and I’ve gotten kills where my ER hits first and I defend against their firing solution.
Same as B.
You can still get plenty of kills with AIM-9L’s on planes that would rather carry their AIM-9M’s. The 27ER is to the Fox3s what the 9L is to the 9M. Objectively inferior but still lethal.

No one is enforcing you to play for trade. I’m just commenting that, even on the worst scenario, you’ll trade with an ARH slinger, which is a significant achivement for a non-ARH slinger.
There could be a reasonable debate about it, but i can concede that point. To me, it’s more a thing of how you plan to use both missiles that make them worth using one or the other.
I’m not discovering something if i remind that lategame exists, and stomp games are still a thing, therefore a hypothetical trade is better than not killing anyone in a 4v1 situation.
Most of the time, i check stats only to see if people have played the vehicle or thing they’re talking about, and doesn’t complain out of sheer antagonism. As you have been playing the stuff you’re talking about, i’m okay with it, despite our disagreements on the topic. I only consider trading on a lose-lose situation, like i mentioned before.
The R-27ER’s re-locking is an underrated feature btw.
This is an extreme case but its so nice to able to change targets constantly.

It is fun because if you throw it at one person, they’ll go to evade it then you can switch to a clueless person next to them
Well, I wouldn’t say the R-27ER is as bad as an Aim-9L in the Fox 3 meta, in fact it can do decently well. If anything I’d just carry a few alongside the R-77’s. It’s one of the weapons that can be useful but ultimately doesn’t make Russian top tier jets competitive. Anyone can go into how good the R-27ER is stat-wise, but it’s still a SARH, you will always be at a disadvantage having to guide it in when your enemy can fire, notch, re-engage you, fire, notch, etc.
I’m saying the ER in the fox 3 meta is akin to the 9L in the IRCCM meta. Viable but inferior.

Eh, idk if the disparity is that much, but yeah, it is just inferior to any competent Fox 3.
yeah that’s fine but ppl want to have fun while they can
Damn you’re telling me that a missile with IOG will find you after you flare and keep flying in a straight line? Crazy.
you need to point your flare dispensors at the missile and neg G into it here I think
So might as well fix what we have now ? That what the post asking for , not what in the future.Cause the situation for russian top tier ever since ARAAM got introduced, well , not that good.

That’s an overstatement. It’s not as terrible when compared to some nations that heavily struggled before ARHs like Italy or France.
The thread is about russian top tier jet , that why I am talking about it. Especially considering USSR is a major nation. That doesn’t mean other nation don’t suffer but if you think they also need new stuff/buff or whatever, pretty sure there are thread out there for them.

War thunder is not a contest of complaining about who has it worse. Russian top tier right now is objectively really bad

If that is an actual argument, then the US should receive a hefty buff on the lastest bunch of Abrams, yet there’s a relevant amount of people in the forums that claim skill issue on most of americans, albeit acknowledging some confirmed issues.
I thought i’d get some claims of being disingenuous only to get intellectual honesty, but it seems that it’s just a facade to expand the current victim complex.

Truthfully, I play my RU jets very rarely, and I’m very poorly taught on them irl.
I see a lot of people on here suggesting Mig29/Su27’s FM’s are underperforming, but assuming that doesn’t change, what do you all see as the realistic next addition to better level the playing field ?
The guy that had literal Italy_suffers as his nickname prior to the current (that is directly a taunt) claiming that nation suffering is not a contest, how honest and ironic is such claim.
