i was just replying to the ER and 7M situation that you mentioned. In general i agree that current balance is pretty fair. I would love to have 77-1 on a platform with better performance tho.

Yeah I agree with your assessment on it, and I agree I’d like to see a platform that’s more suited to BVR than the SM. I haven’t played USSR high tier, save the 33, but I’d like to look more into the options for that. Perhaps the Mig-31
Holly shit this is deadly concentration of pure copium XD
The SPAMRAAM was and still is dominating ARB since the moment it was introduced to the game. And the R77 was dogshit compared to it. (alongside with all the other ARH missiles) The only difference is now that the Russian planes also have a viable missile, but it’s still inferior.
The AIM-120 is objectively the best and most versatile missile in the game to this day. The only missile that can outperform it is the French MICA-EM and only in very specific CQC scenarios because of the thrust-vectoring otherwise the AIM-120 beats everything.
So yeah, literally nothing has changed, and the AIM-120 is still the best FOX-3 missile in the game. But now you don’t get to seal club everybody uncontested.

where were you when this happened to everyone who wasn’t flying the F-15c/e? EVERYONE (including su27sm) was forced to defend themselves first because they were always at a disadvantage against f15s flying at mach jesus shooting aim120s.
you are just a hypocrite and you are not really asking for balance.

I love how americans like to say russia ruled the “R27ER” era when multipathing was at 100m and the MiG-29 was receiving FM nerfs after FM nerf while the F-16 was better buffed after buffed after buffed… here we are today where its obvious the F-16 is superior lmao
USA has dominated this game IN GENERAL in the air since like 2019 at minimum. The fact other nations participate in the leapfrogging at top tier does not matter in the slightest.

It was USA players consistently getting better jets and experiences while whining about what USSR had, oh like, today actually!

There was even a recent one of US dominance too when (then) undertiered Iranian F-14s forced everyone on the defensive, only if you had the appropriate RWR to actually defend against it lol

The meta during that time was multipathing everything. Fox 1s were situational at best. During fox 2 meta us had an edge because 9ms are a bit better than r73s(i like 73s more tbh)

This is plain wrong. R27er and aim7m is just as big if not bigger of a difference than aim120 to r77. Hell at least r77s work at close medium ranges. Aim7m is dogshit
Aim120s on the f18 are massively gimped

Someone who head-ons an a flying brick and probably whines about it detected.
I am deeply sorry you lack the apparent skill to dodge/avoid/notch such an easily defeatable missile. May your capability one day improve to the point that Gaijin no longer has justification to gimp US vehicles or provide handicaps for “skill issue” players like this asinine turret basket decision. Though I imagine I will win the lottery before that day ever comes.

It was in a BR where you could face people without the necessary RWR to actually notch the Fakour

Childish response. This is a video game. We are talking in the context of War Thunder the video game. Get real.
You aren’t even in the armed forces, don’t try to pretend you’re on some sort of “team”. Your participation extends to ranting in video game forums about how you’re being mistreated
