I have encountered Su-33 many times in sim and it’s always a question mark on my RWR, that always gives me track warnings, but never launch warnings. Maybe it’s a bug, I don’t know.
I’m 100% sure they launch ERs and not ETs, because when they kill me with only a track warning, the kill feed shows R-27ER.
How does the R-27ER not have an rwr ping?
But yes the flight model correction is a must. But at least we got the engine fix finally.
Ah, the question mark is a different issue. It’s something that happens with new planes added to the game and Gaijin forget to add them to the RWR database. Plane marked with the question mark never give launch warning because Gaijin can’t freaking code things properly.
The J-10 in the previous update had the same problem.
Lmao, I got Gaijined.
Yeah, not having fox 3s is a big turn off for me on the Su-33. I’m squadron researching it in my meme squadron called -RussianBias- but I don’t think I’ll ever play the Su-33 just because of its BR, and I know what other planes are capable of.
But based on my recent experiences with the R-27ers… they kinda suck now. They drop tracking very easily and miss.
I don’t think this is an indicator that the plane is overpowered. I’ve flown F-15A against F-4F ICE matchmaker recently and it’s the same as it’s always been…you fly low…force merge…and slam it out of the sky.
The only planes that would/should struggle are 12.0-ish planes that are fully up tiered but that isn’t really surprising. It’s not like 12.0s are doing good against Mirage 2000, F-16A, etc.
The only thing that will inflate these planes effectiveness right now is that there are players that will actually play them on the down tier days when they previously would have never touched them. So you end up with experienced players and guys that care about kill to death ratios taking these planes out now that they are competitive. There are more than a few guys I know of that never touched the F-4F ICE until it got its down-tier and they are the same kinds of players that will only stick to a game as long as they are doing well…fly low…merge… kill them twice…and they leave the game.
I played MiG-29 in a 12.7 bracket in sim and they absolutely slap. With fakours and pheonixes I trade, but I was shy with my launches, launching only around 25km mark.
The last time the R-27ERs were good for me, is when I was spading the Yak141 which… ugh… never playing that again. Top speed of 712 mph on the deck was terrible. Excellent acceleration though.
I honestly planned to use the Yak141 with a full IR loadout. Or maybe two ET and two R missiles. I need to finish to grind it.
Basically spot the target with radar, then switch to IRST tracking for an ET launch.
When I spaded it, too many people knew that trick and would flare my aams. :( the Mig-29 was a better grind by a little.
If such a situation occurs that is such a massive, certified skill issue I dont know what to tell you.
Do you have issues shooting down props with your heaters then, because if you cant get behind a semi-stationary object for a gun kill, War Thunder, or air combat in general is not for you.
My god, are people really treating sim like RB now, no wonder ya’ll were supposedly getting thrashed.
A magical thing known as track while scan BS.
Care to show me?
Wait? So you are saying that I have a skill issue?
Care for a 1v1 in same plane. I would like to see what I am doing wrong. F-16 should be fine for you right?
Oh I have to watch this grabs popcorn
Nah give him an F-15E
F-16 would be better against prop no? Much better fm
Doesn’t F-15E have the better load out? And I thought unknown was going to fly the A-10C
Oh ok
Even then, 6 amraams will still be more than enough against an A-10.
The F-16 is also more than fast enough to dictate the engagement like the F-15 could while being generally more maneuverable
If you’ve never seen Unknown fly… he’s very freaking good
Me and him were going at it, it was quite the… what would you say? @UnknownDistance
Me in a Su-39 and he was in a A-10C when it was at 11.3
Do you honestly think you can guide an R-27ER with TWS?
Yeah, he also thinks using your guns in sim is impossible
