Just stop arguing with Alvis really.
It’s pointless. The dude literally stated that the Mig 29 can easily outfight a M2´K, even after being proven by duels, stats and whatnot.
He is just a troll, maybe even paid by Gaijin.
You guys are fighting each other by just using personal opinions and anecdotes. Something being “tangible” or “marginal” can’t be interpreted objectively.
That said, for months on end 2A7V is performing much better than 2A5, so I doubt they deserve to be at the same BR.
I’ve got a bridge to sell you if you think fifth gen fighters are coming out next year…
I don’t think engine reliability is a problem in warthunder.
Underpowered engine? What.
It has a third generation thermal imager.
Afganit APS works against Kinetic penetrators, it’ll work fine against TOWs.
