USA A-10C bias needs to be 12.0 to be “fair”

Before gaijin add 2x R-73. I want gaijin rename Su-24M → Su-24M2, add 2x R-73 and increase BR to 11.7 or 12.0 (Air AB, Air RB & Air SB) for next major update

Battle rating 12.7 for Ground RB, my guess

The game first and foremost has to be decompressed further to at least BR 15.0.

I agree, AIM-9M don’t belong here at 11.3, but the bracket 12.0-13.0 / 11.7-12.7 we have in SB would make this plane DOA. Have you tried the Mig 29 recently? I tried to spade the Iranian F-14 and struggled hard against team full of Mig 29. I was first on my team but it still felt like an uphill battle, barely positive K/D. So then I went and tried the Mig 29 myself and I had a +30kill game with 3 deaths with it against F-16 / F-15 and F-14. Felt more like shooting fish in a barrel. But the Mig 29 can’t go up because it would find itself in this exact position against AMRAAMS.

Then there is the AV-8 with AMRAAM at 13.0 and J-8F with AMRAAM at 13.0.

Now imagine the A-10 going against these planes. It’s neigh impossible to get anything done before being intercepted with the A-10’s we already have in the game (thank you, killfeed!!!).

I would much rather they added the A-10C without AIM-9M to be honest.

The only Tornado that have this ability in game is British F.3 (late)

I guess 0% win rate at Soviet/Chinese side in 10.3-11.3 bracket. Like just top tier already.

yes,kh31,kh58u,kh59 all have long range,If paired with a good sighting system and anti-radiation missile working mechanism, they will perform very well in Ground RB

And while USSR has this everyone else has a feature USSR gets constantly denied (with only exception being Su-25SM3) having thermal pods that could have been in game for long time.

Simply, they could add ‘Khod’ pod to Su-25T and Su-25TM and not add Su-25SM3 or (I’m not sure about this) add pod french with thermals to Su-27SM. Both were denied AFAIK

There’s also thermal pod that goes for MiG 29SMT, as well if I am remembering this right LIGHTING 2.

Yes, this would solve their problems. I don’t see reason not adding them. Maybe will be a bit weird example, but T-80BVM have French thermals, why then Su-27SM don’t have thermal pod from the same country?

Not in game, tho T-72B3/T-90A/T-90M do have french thermals.
T-80BVM uses domestic 3rd gen in game.

Mixed them up, but that is what I wanted to say.

Based on what I have seen the Su-24 has FnF missiles that can track from 15km away on the team that doesnt have to deal with the Pantsir.

I havent played or seen an A-10C (late) yet. I’m sure in the right hands it’s a menace

I think that best part about Pantsir is that no airplane RWR can pick up Pantsir missile launch, forcing blue force to constant BVR defensive maneuvers.

Considering that Gaijin gave VSO-10 capability to pick PD, which it as I understand could not IRL, it is quite biased.

deal with it

Why wouldn’t the US have the best air tree in the game?

It’s not an M2 though, so no R-73’s

But I might believe gaijin no prob rename to Su-24M2 before add 2x R-73

Yeah, they wouldn’t, but also, it would give them a reason to have a foldered variant behind the M, being the M2.

I would much rather a ground attack aircraft (meant for game modes that include player controlled ground targets) struggle in an AIR sim mode, than having it make an entire BR bracket unplayable, creating a situation where one side has all the IRCCM missiles while the other is slinging R-60Ms at planes with literally infinite countermeasures.
