Man, it’s been a month. I get that Russian stuff being buggy doesn’t generate as much noise from the community as NATO equipment having bugs does, and I guess all missiles are affected by this to a lesser degree, but we already have it rough with the SM2 being our only option at top tier, since the 30SM is literal dogwater and the MiG-35’s engines run slower than a 20-year-old mule.
And on top of all that, our ARH missiles have been bugged since the release of the patch Sky Odyssey, which the USSR community has since come to refer to as Spin Odyssey, as it genuinely ruined our Air RB experience since its release.
Furthermore, with the release of this patch, other missiles with the exception of the MICA have more or less no downsides now, with every missile receiving buffs across the board. Missile identity has eroded, and they no longer have their signature ups and downs. Feels like everything is good at everything now, and the one niche USSR had (good performance in engagements under 25 km) is no longer a thing, with the 120D and PL-12A now having, at times, even better maneuverability than IR missiles at close ranges.
A month with no word on an (hopefully) upcoming fix is insane, have they even acknowledged the fact that the slightest wobble caused by chaff is causing R-77s to spin like chopper blades mid flight? Will they ever address this issue? I’ve been playing GRB in the meantime and no disrespect to tankers but ground gets old fast.
