Tell me which other 12.7 has 4 SAHR missiles and 4 IR missiles with IRCCM.
In the same br, we have M2KC S5s with 2 SAHRs and 2 IRCCM missiles, we have Belgian F-16 OCUs and Belgian F-16As with 6 IRCCM missiles.
We have the Yak 141 which also doesn’t come close to the F-15’s loadout; the Yak’s loadout is very similar to the Mirage’s.
We have the F-16J, “the last F-16 with the original loadout” (an aircraft that doesn’t even exist, but it’s cool).
And there’s the F-18C which has 6 SAHR missiles and IR missiles without IRCCM… It’s already strong; it could easily have 2 more missiles and missiles with IRCCM and be 13.0
Edit: I forgot about the MiG-29, poor thing, it’s on life support at 12.7 without R73, only with R60 and R27ER (which it shouldn’t even have).
f15 in 12.7 is stretching the 12.7 line too much.
Just like the su30s stretching the 13.3 line too much.
The F-15 wasn’t the worst of the 13.0; it was average. Besides, the Mirage 4K is much worse than it and remains at 13.0, and should remain at 13.0 because if it goes to 12.7, it would be stretching too far.
The problem is that all 13.0 versions have terrible matchmaking due to compression.
It’s already a difficult Br because it’s a transitional Br.
With the SU30s, the br became unplayable for 13.0, and that will probably only change when the SU30 enters one Sales. (I would guess in sales)
we’re going to have matchs that are much more saturated with SU30, and things are going to become unfeasible.
When the situation becomes even more unbearable and unsustainable than it already is, maybe gaijin will do something (this same situation applies to bmpt, wait for this crap to go on sale).
No one, but blame the current compression within 11.7/13.7, not the F-15As for it.
But its one of the best dogfighters in the BR bracket, even making the F-16s make a run for their money if they play slightly wrong.
I’ve always advocated for the M4K and the F-15A/J/Baz to be quite the functional sidegrades. The fact Gaijin moved the F-15A/J/Baz to 12.7 but didn’t moved the M4K is simply unfair and there’s no argument excusing them.
Until decompression happens at top tier, the F-15As as a whole have no business dealing with a tactically better airframe for ARB purposes such as the Su-30 (with R-27ERs, R-77s + 20km HMS) on a usual basis.
Poor thing, a radar that doesn’t go MEM above 45°s with R-27ERs and all aspect IR missiles for orbital slinging, so unplayable. /s
That’s the real problem, this plane can’t have its BR reduced.
just like f15 can’t be
The solution to all these problems is decompression, not recompression over and over.
The situation with the game is much worse than it was 11 months ago.
where the game recompressed forcefully with the addition of f18.
Gaijin doesn’t agree with this.
In an ideal world, decompression would be the only solution to any balance consideration. Gaijin has proved us again and again they disagree, and that they believe otherwise.
Unless they decompress 14.7 to 15.0, calling out the F-15A to 13.0 or the M4K to stay at 13.0 is simply unfair to both cases.
i bit the bullet and tried the 4000 and so far I’m mostly getting downtiers, and its a pleasant surprised, especiallly the 530D, my god what a good little missile. It’s very slow but the tracking is excellent, such a refreshing change from the 530F(uck you)
So far most of my deaths have been r27er’s and just crashing while caught in a 1v3/4, the low speed handling is absolutely atrocious I’m not gonna lie.
Personally I like having some reach so I once I get the upgrades I’ll run 3 530D’s
Alright so I played it a lot more and I stopped getting downtiers, and uuuh yeah. It’s awful. I’m never flying it again, genuinely do not want to deal with the pain any longer.
5.0-7.7 GRB isn’t because US cas dominates, and German tanks are the most annoying. For air, it’s basically any BR that isn’t 5.7 (even then, there are equally good 5.7s to the Yak-3U), 9.0 (Su-7s are stupid, but the BR compression makes 9.0-10.0 painful).
Top tier compression sucked a long time before the su30 spam, the MKK is a very good jet for 13.3 (the MK2 maybe a bit less so) and should have come out at 13.7 minimum (relative to Gaijin’s BR spead) but the problem is these things realistically shouldn’t be the same BR as the 27SM either, realistically the BR spread could go up to 16-18 and make the game play a lot better but then a lot of the matches are still the same.
Sidenote, with all the players trying out the new 120D and PL12A a lot of the 30s are getting uptiered to 14.3 a LOT more and the N001 radar makes you literal food at that BR a lot of the time.
welp, im leaving the game because of this shit, gaijin doesn’t give a fuck about the game and at this point playing anything above 11.0 is absolute shit , pretty much impossible to play with any fox 1 carrier above 12.0
