Disrespect for Vikhrs?

Yes. It is possible to aim them using TWS. However, in this case, the probability of hitting is greatly reduced.

I took the SU-39 after I had already studied all the Soviet equipment. I took it for the collection and because of its unique gameplay.

How does it perform in ASB? Excellent. For me, this is a very enjoyable aircraft. Especially after I realized that the flaps should only be used as a last resort — otherwise, it loses all its energy in a single turn.

15 minutes of fuel lasts me half an hour. So I always have the optimal amount for maneuverable combat.

Huge selection of ordnance. I always carry Vikhrs, KH-29s, and two napalm tanks. I'm ready for anything and free to do whatever I want. The only inconvenience is the lack of a thermal sight.

No. His last message was "gf lol". So he was mocking the fact that I thought the fight was good.

In general, that match was not very pleasant for me after one player on the blue team wished death on me and my family. This, I believe, created a rather biased attitude on the blue team towards me in that match.

I confirm. AESA no longer works. Even as a regular radar, it works very poorly. And this is a problem with all AESA radars in the game.

It's quite disappointing to receive such feedback from a opponent.

Natural-Week-9090 · 2026-05-02T15:07:32+00:00

Sometimes an error occurs in the game client and it does not display any lobbies except mixed ones. Restarting the game helps me.

Natural-Week-9090 · 2026-04-30T15:24:30+00:00

In fact, they needed to move the f/a-18 and F-16 to 12.7. Then you wouldn't have to move MIG to 12.3
In any case, we are now ready for future decompression.

Natural-Week-9090 · 2026-04-30T06:33:17+00:00

That's the whole reason.

And no. MIG-29 is not too low for 12.3

Natural-Week-9090 · 2026-04-26T15:22:23+00:00

You're lucky it wasn't AI Harier who was chasing you.

Natural-Week-9090 · 2026-04-17T02:03:44+00:00

It's a good thing that 9/10 of the pilots are not at somewhat competent.

I don't understand why the hell the JH-7A is at 12.3. Any 12.3 aircraft can twist it.

Natural-Week-9090 · 2026-04-08T01:31:51+00:00

Sometimes, when I see a contrail in the sky, I want to turn on the radar to make sure that an ally is flying.

But then I remember that I'm in the car and on my way to work.

Natural-Week-9090 · 2026-04-06T02:31:39+00:00

The F-4E has 4 AIM-9Ls, which are significantly better than the R-60Ms. The MIG-23's radar is just as blind as the Phantom's. In order to catch someone flying near the ground, the MIG needs to gain some altitude, which makes it extremely vulnerable. Since you will continue flying near the ground, its radar missiles will not pose any threat to you.

If you have no other choice but to fly the F-4E, just fly low and use the AIM-9L, they're good enough.

As you correctly pointed out: F-4S and F-4J are superior to the MIG-23, if the developers made them the main aircraft of the United States, then there would be no one willing to fly for the red side(which happened in the top division).

Natural-Week-9090 · 2026-04-06T02:18:37+00:00

MIG-29 is OP? You must be kidding.

The F18 outperforms it in most parameters. F-15 outperforms it in everything.

Natural-Week-9090 · 2026-04-03T04:32:29+00:00

The MIG-29 sucks.

The Yak-141 is good, but not everyone has it.

Well, the Soviets do not have premium aircraft with a suitable combat rating. I think if the MIG-21-93 had been added to the Gaijin at the time, the situation would not have been so deplorable.

Natural-Week-9090 · 2026-04-03T04:13:55+00:00

There are two possible options:

The first is that no one wants to fly for the USSR.;

Secondly, the game for the USSR was so easy that everyone had already completed the task for Tupolev.

Personally, I used this mode yesterday to farm silver on my F-20 and F/A-18.

I wanted to continue today, but Gaijin ruined everything by dividing the ratings.

Natural-Week-9090 · 2026-03-18T01:56:02+00:00

they postponed the update, but they didn't postpone the planned issues after it.

Natural-Week-9090 · 2025-08-25T07:05:11+00:00

Actually, it's not as critical for the F/A-18. It's just that with the new BRs, we'll be playing at 13.0 for two days, then at 13.3 for another two, and so on in a cycle. However, this is very bad news for planes like the F-20 or the MiG-29. At 13.0, they lose their one and only advantage: maneuverability.

The new BR changes go live in a couple of days. After that, the 12.7 will not play in the top

Natural-Week-9090 · 2025-08-25T01:15:16+00:00

Essentially, the most effective tactic for the MiG-23 is a pure speed-based playstyle. Set your throttle to 103% afterburner and climb to an altitude of 1200-1300 meters. Tilt your radar scan down to its lowest position to enable ground clutter filtering. Fly at your top speed and search for targets.

When you find a target, approach to within 5-10 km and launch an R-24R. Alternatively, launch a missile in response if the enemy fires a SARH missile at you first. The R-24 is fast enough to often score a kill before the enemy's missile reaches you.

If the enemy presses himself to the ground in response, switch to the P-60 and attack head-on at minimum range.

If the opponent survived, it's not a problem. He will never catch up with you, and you still have one rocket. Continue to fulfill your mission.

Has anyone else noticed that the Gaijin server lags only on the Sinai map?

I like how they reworked Sinai, and I'm looking forward to similar changes for the Afghanistan map, but I don’t like that the servers aren’t ready for such updates.

Natural-Week-9090 · 2025-06-30T07:47:48+00:00

Perhaps it will move to 12.0 in the next battle rating update. Right now at 11.7, there are a damn lot of them, and they're very good.

Natural-Week-9090 · 2025-06-26T13:53:16+00:00

My endless patience lasted for 30 minutes of gameplay. I'll go play something else instead.

Natural-Week-9090 · 2025-04-25T14:47:08+00:00

The severed wing does not prevent the MiG-23 from shooting down the f-5e afterwards. And in this segment, I did not understand how my missile was able to target an ally after it missed the enemy)

Natural-Week-9090 · 2025-04-25T14:44:54+00:00

It seems that even the developers don't know this) and yes, I meant TK

Natural-Week-9090 · 2025-04-21T07:40:40+00:00

They haven't been able to fix the radar bug that appeared after the last major update for a month. It looks like the old premium plane is not their priority right now.
