The current top tiers should be moved up a step. I still find it ridiculous that base Mig 29s and F-16A can face 13.7 planes such as F-15C. 13.0 jets have been struggling since Fox-3s were added, but they should not move down. I’ve been playing the 29G for a while, and it’s quite a painful experience. You get uptiered every single match and can’t do much against fox-3 slingers. Instead, the current top tier should be at least 14.3, (preferably 14.7) with other fox-3 slingers moving up accordingly. Compression is further ruining gameplay in the higher tiers, and with the addition of this rushed update, it has gotten even worse.

All we need to do is play 6v6 or 8v8 games and almost all planes would suddenly become playable.

It would help reduce the sensory overloading gameplay but it still wouldn’t fix the problem of BR compression. Smaller matches will probably benefit fox-3 slingers even more against fox-1 planes.

I believe next month gajin decompression to 14.3 for aircraft top tier in Air AB, RB & SB before add new generation infrared Air-to-Air Missile and another active radar homing medium-range missile
10 fighter aircraft up to 14.3
- F-15C MSIP II
- Baz Meshupar
- F-15E
- F-15I Ra’am
- F-16AM MLU (BE)
- JAS 39 Gripen C (HuAF, SAAF, RTAF & SE)
- F-16C Block 50
- Eurofighter Typhoon (DEU, ITA & UK)
- Rafale F3-R (FR)
- MiG-29SMT (9-19)
I agree with you, F-15E, F-15I, Eurofighter and Rafale should be moved to 14.7. They can have the same load out from the previous aircraft but they have better performance in all aspects.
A F-15C can compete against those aircrafts, but a F-15J can’t.

In my opinion fox-1 planes should only meet fox-3 slingers on a bad platform such as F-14s, F-4F ice, harriers and maybe the 29SMT. Facing 13.7s was such a horrible experience in the Mig 29G and that was with the 27ERs. I’d have to guess F-15A/J with 7Ms aren’t much of a better experience either. Now with 14.0 introduced, it’s even worse.
The amount of missiles launched at you does not change with the reduced players on both teams.
On top of that, the higher the BR the higher the challenge. And yes, awareness skill is still skill and more challenging.

Gripen, F16s, and 29SMT should stay 14.0. Only the twin engine fast-climbers with meta avionics should see 14.3.
SMT is one of the easiest grinds, and while it’s as fast to altitude as F-15C, it’s slower to speed than F-15C and closer to F-16C in acceleration.
It will just end in a smaller, shorter 6v6 gangbang
How? After one turn you are as slow as my topspeed in 100 m run…
I just don’t turn hard… simple. I’m the fastest thing in the match, there’s never been a reason to turn hard.
Rough Idea I have is:
14.7 Eurofighter, F-15E/I, Rafale
14.3 F-15C/J(M), M2K-5F, J-10A
14.0 Su-27SM, J-11A, 29SMT, Gripen C, F-16C/D/AM
13.7 AV-8B+, Sea Harrier FA2, F-4F ICE, Tornado F.3 Late (these all could be 13.3, but I think planes with top tier fox-3s should not be the same BR as fox-1 planes, but at the same time these shouldn’t face things such as the Eurofighter imo)
13.3 Su-27, J-11, Su-33, F-15A/J, M4K, Gripen A, J-8F, Ja37DI
13.0 Mig-29G, F-14B
12.7s stay where they are
Note that I didn’t include every top tier planes, just ones I can remember
Even with two steps up in BR, this looks compressed, just shows how much powercreep has been going on for Air RB
I have only German and Swedish top tier, so I would appreciate any experiences and opinions with other nations’ jets as well.
All the F-15s need to be the same BR.
Su-27SM flies better than F-15C now.
Mirage 2000 and J-10A are inferior to Su-27SM and F-15C by far.
Ja-37Di, F-14B, and Sea Harrier are equivalents.
Mig-29G is superior to those and should be 13.3 as well.
F-16As should be the same BR as F-14B.
