Imagine the following scenario:
“You’re flying your newly acquired F-15A in a realistic match. It’s your first experience with this aircraft. Then you notice on your RWR that there are Eurofighters, Rafales, Su-30SM, and F-15Es. What are you going to do? While they have insane speed and performance, along with powerful radars and a large number of missiles, you’re stuck with your miserable Sparrows, which you have to lock onto the target and wait”
What can you do? What chances do you have against them? Absolutely nothing except wait for your certain death.
And it becomes a very frustrating game. I say this from experience because after finishing research on my Su-30SM, I decided to go after my J-11B and had the unfortunate idea of putting an stock F-16MLU into the game. In the first 10 matches, I only encountered up-tiers. In other words, I had no chance of performing well in the match.
The decompression carried out at the end of 2024 was essential for aircraft matches. However, with the release of new aircraft such as the Rafale, Eurofighter, Su-3SM, and F-15E(I), there has been a new compression within the top tier and even in the lower tiers, which has led to further frustrations for players due to unsuccessful balancing attempts. It is indeed necessary to implement a new decompression.
And here I bring a very simple solution: just move some of the aircraft to restore a fairer and more enjoyable game environment for everyone.
The Solution:
Specifically, this would involve moving the aircraft that are currently in BR 13.7 to 14.3, and the aircraft that are currently at 14.0 to 15.0. This change would ensure that, under no circumstances, does a BR 12.7 aircraft face a 14.0 aircraft, which is the current scenario. This would provide players with a more pleasant experience, rather than one where they are constantly getting shot down.
This is a simple change that could certainly be refined further, but it’s a solution I’m proposing to help avoid many frustrations, especially for those experiencing the latest generation of aircraft for the first time. So, I leave my suggestion here.
If you have any other ideas on how to improve this scenario,
I would love to hear them, feel free to leave a comment.
And that’s it for now. Cheers.
