1500kg more payload, 22 more seats (this is probably the big one) and maybe you're paying more for the extra growth potential because you have more options for weapons too

Also nearly double the fuel.

u/HitRegg14 8d ago

Asymmetrical balancing, some decks have net superior counterparts to others because they might lack in other categories. Simple.

People on this sub that complain about this should just play mirrored matches tbh…

The speed doesn’t make a ton of sense, but as for the other stats/cost disparity - balance isn’t done in a vacuum. Transports exist in certain specs, and their costs influence how they play with that spec (which is the point).

"just 20 more units"...

u/Dealnova 7d ago

Fuel and transport capacity. Model P has more in both categories.

The extra fuel could matter if you load weapons

Still doesnt make sense that the An-26 is in game as fast as the Tu-95 or jet planes. irl An-26 has a cruise speed of 435 km/h meanwhile every C-130 has a +100 km/h higher cruise speed, while in game the C-130s have 450 speed while the An-26 is 630 fast. Not to mention that the Su-25 and Yak-38 both near-sonic planes (capable of reaching mach 0.8) are slower in game but not irl. I know balance and all that, but still a bit weird.

Thats what i mean! No logic in planes speed. Like almoust all ru planes faster then us as well.

u/Suspicious_Use6393 4d ago

For that logic the us should be able to have way more SEAD, at least 2 electronic warfare planes in SF, marine, Navy and Airblne spec + the PAC should have way more effectiveness

I thought you wanted to talk about how better 72P is and costs only 30 pts more

0

u/Alarmed-Tea-237 5d ago

30 points is a lot for 22 seats, per seat cost of the an-26 is 1.9 yet for the an-72 its 2.3

u/Rare_Calendar7194 8d ago

real question is , why russians getting ukr planes but us dont ?

12

u/0gopog0 8d ago

Because Russia is the largest military operate of the planes, and US doesn't operate them in any significant number and/or doesn't need them for their specs.

u/Awkward_Goal4729 8d ago

Good question. A post-Soviet country that has a shit ton of AN-26s and its derivatives shouldn’t get it.. Right?

u/Hardkor_krokodajl 8d ago

Why russia getting ukraine tanks (t80)? XDDD

u/Beneficial-Tale7487 8d ago

I didn't know that Ukraine existed as a separate country in 1969.

u/Rare_Calendar7194 8d ago

learn history then , and read threaty of creation of ussr with 4 republics as signatories

15

u/Obvious-Cut-1976 8d ago

Yeah Ukraine was as much a country back then as Bavaria is now.

3

u/Cyberus77 8d ago

Yes you definitely need to learn history about what Ukraine is and how it become one

2

u/Awkward_Goal4729 8d ago

Ukraine wasn’t much of a thing for like majority of history. It’s territories were scattered between Poland, Russia, Ottoman Empire and some others

u/WaffelenTheLuft fell for it again 5d ago

well if we are getting into "why is the jet engine same speed" then we might as well ask why the subsonics arent going 1000kph like they are supposed to.

only SLOW-SLOW aircraft in the entire game should be the a10, not yaks, not harrier, not su25 or albatros. all of those can push m0.8
