The A-7K has an absurdly high BR for its capabilities in AirRB. It is the same BR as the F5E-FCU which is VASTLY superior in every manner.
This is a subsonic attacker, with equal capabilities to the AMX (Tech tree) and Sea Harrier Early (10.7). It is not well equipped to deal with aircraft at 11.3, let alone the 12.0-12.3 roster it often faces.
I am proposing the BR of the A-7K be dropped to 10.7. Even then it would be a bad pick, but at least it could do something.
Happy Hunting!
Well, dropping it down to the same BR as the 7E though… I dunno, even the E model could do with a bit of love, given it was the last model to still be in service and the one that used the most advanced weaponry.
I support this but there’s not just the 7K that needs love. It probably won’t happen though because player feedback is never heard.
Every single A7 variant needs drastic downtiering (sometimes up by 0.7br) in air RB
Gaijin splits the air/ground BR and is incapable of realising how stupid some BRs are for some vehicles in AirRB
Gotta make that defenceless 1980s F-117A stealth attack bomber outrun those WW2 and Korean Era jets somehow. 😂
they defended that one tornado variant being 11.7 and not 11.3 like the other 7 copypaste interdictor tornados because “we’d raise the 11.3 ones but y’all would cry so we aren’t dropping the 11.7 one” was literally the excuse
For 7E, I would like to see they gets AIM-9Ls instead because some buffs are pending like RWRs.
Avionics and loadouts should be equal to each other.
It never made sense even when it was added, the reason for being so high in ARB was the than potent AAM & due to not having seperate BR’s yet an yet just before that update all A-7’s went down in BR but a month later they all went to their original BR’s.
Comparing event aircraft can work here as how in the blazing angels is this an 11.3 meanwhile this year they added the F-5A(G) with two FREE AIM-9L all at 0.3 BR lower???
The logic doesn’t make sense…
Anyway all A-7’s should again see a BR reduction by 0.7 again over having them stay like this as heh the A-7K can again see F-16 & nowadays F-18’s…
Another all-aspect carrier to 10.7???
Please, stop with the garbage attackers being carried by busted missiles…
Agreed. I made a post a while ago detailing all varients of the A7… but it didnt go anywhere and i worry the same, because people see “all aspect missile” and freak out. 10.7 is the correct BR for this airframe in the current matchup. 10.0 for the A7E and 9.7 for the A7D [AirRB]
we have separate brs for air and ground so can we not use out brains gaijin and balance accordingly.
Link to previous post -
you can remove the K from this, theyre all awful lol
First rule of War Thunder ARB - Don’t play Attack aircraft jets.
/s
They are just not allowed to get treated ‘fairly’, and it seems that treating them fairly is violating the TOS. :/
And I am sure that A-7 Corsair’s status is among the worst.
I mean, SHAR FRS.1 in 10.7/11.0 sounds bullshit if we consider J-7D and MiG-21bis
But A-7E/K are in way beyond level of bullshitness :|
Seriously, is there any means of keeping A-7K in 11.3BR while
Unless it’s the god damn Su-25/K.
10.3 and that thing even flies better than the A-7s ever could.
Edit: Well I also forgot to mention that the 25T and SM3 are kind of in the same boat but that’s BR related… Eh…
Something something they were considering adding airspawns to slower attackers with good weaponry but hey I wonder where that went.
It also seems only attacker jets, which are treated fairly and being undertiered, are all blocked behind a paywall.
A-10A, A-6E(was), Su-25K, A-5C(was)
Everyone knows that Su-25’s R-60M is way worse than A-7K’s AIM-9L
But really, does A-7K reaaaallly need to be +1.0BR higher just because of 9L?
Maybe scrapped by these devs who are filled with nothing but double standards. just as always.
Bit off topic, but I still remember the day Stona told us “Tonka was never going to get buffed because it can take base down, so buffing it down based on A2A capability will be double standards for fighters with the same A2A capability but can’t take base.”
But well, we all know that Gaijin’s favourite paymaker MiG-23ML is exceptional for these standards. :/
Just… why is Gaijin acting so aggressively against attacker jets which aren’t [premium]?
As a joke, if Su-25K didn’t exist, Su-25 without her premium sister might be overrated as 11.0BR :|
Because it is attacker jet
yeah if it’s russian the BRs are adequate or lower than it should
Eh. I don’t believe in that sorta bias. I rather believe in money bias though.
If it’s selling well or better yet, is unique and locked behind a paywall, it will get treated preferentially.
All else can go eat dirt.
