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.

The Su-24M should be 11.7 for sim air,
And the A-10C should be 12.0 for sim air

Just because no USA pilot knows how to fly, doesn’t mean the Mig-29 is OP, also the Iranian F-14 can’t detect the mig-29 as easily on rwr, it’ll pick it up, but a team of F-14s can smite a team of Mig-29s.
The USSR tech tree demands skillful play, whereas in my experience, the USA one all I have to do is click a button.
There is a reason the air sim win rate for USA is almost 98%
In fact, some USSR planes I have for sim have a 0% wr.

Sim should have an AEWACS or ground based radar to detect aircraft this would be the great balancer.

And the Su-39 would be able to mount it. In fact the Su-39 is very much neutered compared to what it “should” be able to get.

No matter what AA you use, the Su-24, or any F-16 with long range capabilities, can fire n forget, and run, and come back over and over. I see it all the time in top tier, because I’ll be happily playing a tank, then get nailed by a plane, try to hit it with my pansir, and the missile gets over g’d easily.

The tornado gets a thermal pod in what world should it ever be considered the same br as the 24M
