R-73s are so bad in sim not even funny, they I took a few clips all in one match, I could’ve recorded more, but I kept getting destroyed by the Av-8B (NA) and the A-10c
The top two on the enemy team were in A-10Cs, pretty much all their team except the zombers had a positive K/D, meanwhile all of us the USSR, pretty much had negative.
Given the fact I play on controller, no Hotas, and have no VR, I’d say I’m fairly good at the game, especially since I kept getting 2v1’d
Again, I can’t see why the a-10c shouldn’t go to 12.0, and maybe even the Su-39 with R-77s
It has killed using the su-39, or most Russian aircraft, not to mention other nations, since the NATO teams can counter everything in every way.
Russian missiles in general are abysmal compared to most the competition.
If they want the A10 at this BR, fail to see why the harrier shouldn’t be. Significantly less effective CMs, significantly less ground pounding ordnance, and on top of that if you want to have 4 9Ms you trade your good ground pounding kit.
And that’s not comparing it to Russian ground pounders at the same BR, if we compare it to those, pretty blatant how much they cater to the yanks.
You do understand, there is no way to know there is an incoming Aim-9M in sim right?
Not to mention, they get IOG, the R-73 doesn’t.
If you look at the clip where I shot at the AV-8B (na) from the side, with the r-73, it wasn’t further than 2.0 km from him when I fired, and by the time he flared it was 700 meters from him.
The seeker head (gatewidth) on the r-73 should’ve been far more closed and guarenteed a kill at that point, but no, it ate flares.
Also, sound cheats? I know. But what’s great is I play on Xbox, and thus cannot cheat, in fact we get brutalized on Xbox, no sound mods, no sight mods (until recently gaijin added new sights), no Ultra low quality, etc. pc users have has these forever.
All that is outside of the actual cheating that occurs, but I think they both count.
Factor in as well, I play on controller with no HOTAS or Vr, and many sim users play with Vr, at least the ones I run into, which give a major advantage.
I love how people already pointed out before release that the A-10C would be absolutely be tragic to play as in ground RB and toxic to play against in air at it’s current BRs respectively and that the BRs should maybe be swapped or something, but Gaijin still went through with it.
There’s zero reason why A10C whould be 1.0 BR lower than SU25SM3 in sim (11.3 vs 12.3). It has way more ground ordinance, HMD with IFF, 2 more IRCCM missiles that are also invisible.
The A-10C gets 4 Aim-9m, not just two, and has a ping less IFF system.
I do 100% agree with you.
I do think in light of how imbalanced the two you mentioned are, they should both be brought to 12.0.
I actually bought my su-25sm3 the other day to play it, F-14s just kept erasing me, not like I had but 2 chances to really do anything. I don’t quite get why the Su-25SM3 doesn’t get 2 r60ms as well as r-73s… it has the pylons for the r-60ms just as the Su-39, and Su-25T do.
