I don’t disagree with the balance issues, frankly it’s not even like they aren’t fair in a fight IRL but due to the independent Russian reports and issues like that stuff like the Yak gets a little inflated, if not in loadout in max speed, acceleration, etc. It usually isn’t the case when they’re 16 years old, but sometimes NATO reports don’t come out for a long time and they can’t get the really accurate data.
Yeah if you lock the ground, the kab500kr has trouble seeing anything until 3km if you want to track a vehicle
what way is it inflated rn in game
That is identical to AGM-62 they both have very bad track ranges
Within track range their flight performance is identical, the only difference is that KAB500 has higher zoom so it can spot things earlier
They’re making shit up, Yak-130 is underperforming in the game with missing countermeasures (ignoring the R-73 of course).
So I’m playing J34 from the 50s but have to fight Yak-130s from the 90s???
in air rb? how is the j34 not capable of fighting a yak130? Your J34 meets ww2 aircraft as well
Same speed, better climb and better turning? your second point is so silly im not going to bother
Okay?
J34 is faster, & probably dogfights better.
Probably? my god the bar is low
While it’s not a particularly fun fight, the J34 (or really any Hunter bar the Mark 1) can easily smoke a Yak-130 by playing to it’s strengths. In short, the Hunter is way faster, and way better at being faster, than the Yak.
It’s not particularly fun owing to the fact that the Yak is a very squirrelly target (Due to it’s small size and trainer jet levels of controllability even at low speeds), so getting your guns on target might be problematic depending on the skill of your opponent.
But if you miss, he’s not going to be hitting you on the overshoot unless you seriously misplay, and even then, the GSH-23 water pistol does not have favourable ballistics for hitting a plane with that much of an energy advantage. So you’re free to just reset the fight, perhaps trying to stall him out with a spiral climb, or just leave him behind and find a more distracted target to gank.
buddy what? the hunter goes 1100kph+ the yak130 is lucky to break 950
No?
No? Just 1 circle, not 2 circle
You’re just really bad at the game, either learn or don’t complain
youre really saying a yak130 is better than a hawker hunter? for air to air fights? are you insane?
He is, then being arrogant about being bad at the game, typical war thunder player
dont get me wrong. the yak 130 is the best CAS trainer in the game but what on earth lmao?
nothing to do with air rb, the ariete is 0.3br away, is also strictly a trainer jet, and is in the top 10 of all planes in the entire game for air to air combat

should be higher but decompression isnt really the topic.
yak 130 isnt a godly fighter at all. its decent and will screw over the notably crappy dogfighters like the harrier but its CAS capability but the mitten still carries four KAB-500Kr bombs. its closest peer i think may be the Hawk 200 and thats a whole BR higher for only slightly better TV ground strike and countermeasures (on a significantly inferior airframe for air to air fight when ignoring the aim-9L)
That’s dope. They have a three (3) (point blank) kilometer lock range placing you well within all forms of SPAA and you don’t have flares

Honestly even against a basic gepard, shilka or marksman TV bombs (kab 500, agm 65b and walleyes) can be a real struggle from how danger close you need to be for it to track the target rather than just look at the ground, a semi awake gepard can put pressure on you as soon as youre getting into locking range in good weather, let alone when its cloudy.
I dont think they should be allowed to be safe for secure drops at all, im not advocating for such things to be avalable at lower BRs again. CAS should be high risk for the rewards. Do also think the majority radar guided gun SPAA does need to also move up also, things from the mid-late 80s vs late 1940s service planes is stupid but we are back at the compression issue all over again
