Yeah, the russian pilots do whine. (i used to whine too :p ) I remeber seeing on the UBI forum a thread with people whining about the removal of the R-27AE and it got locked.
Well, but when it comes to the western comunity, I think, and this is only my opinion, that the F-15 pilots are whining more than the Mig and Su pilots. But it isnt much of a surprise, since the russian comunity is whining too last I heared, and they dont fly the Eagle so...
I think 50/50 , but im NOT saying that the reasons for whining arent valid. This is just an observation about the russian/western whining :p
