Though. FRS1 should be 11.0, not 11.3 not sure why it moved up 2 stops.
Also slightly tentative about comparing aircraft like the tornado IDS and the A-10 because one is very slow and the other isn’t.
From the experience of going from harrier Gr7 with 9ls at 11.0/11.3 to harrier Gr7 with aim-9M at 12.7 and is basically unplayable I’d not want to impart such a BR on anyone else. 12.0 I think is a reasonable max, but 11.7 might be fine.
I don’t think the F-14A is at the wrong BR, but rather quite a bit between 11.3 and 12.3 are at the wrong BR.
IRAF F14A might be under BRed.
F4S I think is fine at 12.0 and about equal to the Mig-23MLD at 11.7 in my opinion.
So whilst I agree that some things need adjusting. I don’t think there is any bias towards the US (though stat based balancing will tend to favour US players) but I think there is just as much bias towards other nations. Like the Mig23ML being 11.3 but the German Mig23MLA is 11.7… for reasons
My only caviat / reservation of the F14A being the same BR as a mig-29G is because the Mig-29G is faster. More nimble (I think) and has 4x R-73s Vs 4x Aim-9Ps if I recall correctly which are rear aspect only. 12.3 to 12.7 is already pushing it for an aircraft carried only by it’s SARH/ARH missiles.
How good those are really come down to whether or not MP gets reduced more
No, there’s definitely a US bias at the moment. It’s been there for a while.
It’s less “bias” but Gaijin overall incompetence and way of modeling things that ends up benefiting US doctrine the most, to be perfectly honest. But I’m tired of the staunch defense they get from player who obviously :
Only play US
Are actually bad pilots
Refuse to let go of their clubbing machine.
Giving 9M to a 11.3 plane is absurd. You could mount them on a freaking PO-2, it would still be overpowered for 11.3. That missile has no business fighting ANY plane with less than 60 countermeasures in the first place.
A-10C is under BRed at 11.3 but i don’t think it should go much higher than 11.7 right away. 12.0 maybe once it has a chance to get finished/tweaked. Seen a fair few bug reports circling about.
(I also personally kinda hate the Aim-9M and find them a bit meh, at least on the harrier Gr7 at 12.7)
Yes, US pilots are bad and therefore their stuff is often a lower BR than perhaps they would be. But I don’t think by all that much and most things are fine, just good at their BR but not deserving of going any higher. Like the F4S is perfectly balanced at 12.0. yes it’s good, but it’s not 12.3 worthy either.
F4S is fine at 12.0.
But both FGR needs to go down 11.7. Skyflashes are in no way equal to the 7F.
A10C need 12.0. No 10.X planes deserves to see those missiles.
I’d argue that the Bison could arguably go 12.0 too. 27R and +/- 40° radar gimbal is a terrible combo, the plane is carried by being a one-trick pony HMD+R73 on an obsolete platform. It could stay 12.3 tho as long as the F14A moves. Just folder the damn 14B with the A. The Mirage 2000S5 could go up too while we’re at it. Way too strong for a 12.3 planes. (S4 is fine, it has 36 countermeasures total)
Personally I find the 9M absolutely busted. They’re especially dangerous when dropped between 3.5 and 2.5km in side aspect. They have the range to hit those shots very consistently, and people don’t usually pay enough attention to flare a missile launched at 2km+.
Oh, and on orbital strike from above, I’ve hit some 4/4 shots with F15A from 5km range.
They’re not that good for dogfighting compared to the R73 and Magic 2, but launched a bit further, they tend to have an excellent hitrate, and they’re a bitch to decoy.
In ARB, probably and is fight planned for the next BR change.
Again. This is sim. If you are choosing to bring a 10.X plane into a full uptier vs 11.3/11.7s then you will expect to see Su-25s with R-73s or A-10s with Aim-9Ms. Considering the size of maps though. It should be reasonable for most to avoid them.
Its fine at its BR.
Same as the IRIAF F-14A. Only rear aspect IR missiles on a meh dogfighter is pushing it already. Vs aircraft with AMRAAM or IRCCM missiles. 12.7 would be tricky. Im more looking for other buffs. Like giving the Tornado F3 Phimat or correctly modeled BOL rather than moving the F-14s about
My experience is that htey are 1 tapped flared by most things unless they dont see them coming. Which is their main strength, but their abysmal lock range needs fixing
I have just checked your K/D in sim, and you should play more, and speak less XD
I didn’t say you overshoot by making a bad shot, I said they can force overshoot, that means make the imposible because you can’t follow the turn. So doesn’t matter if you are dumbass or not.
Yeah, 9P is rear aspect. I don’t have the fakours yet and I won’t use the sedjil over r27r1 until I know which is better, but from my time playing it, as someone with 0 top tier fighter experience I was able to pull off a 5 kill match in the first 2 weeks, running 2x aim54a, 2x R27R1 and 2x aim9p
Once I figure out how to properly evade and get better with the radar + unlock fakours 90 my stats will probably get much better
I think it’s a clear upgrade over the f14a and if they add the radar improvements the Iranian govt says they have it would be a 12.7 no brainer
It’s fine where it’s at. Either give it an Air spawn or stock Aim-9Ms before moving it up.
Harrier GR.7 is at 12.3 with Aim-9Ms because it has nearly double the top speed and has good acceleration. It’s also not a flying brick.
When the A-10C gets either of the aforementioned needed quality of life improvements, then we’ll talk.
As of now, the Harrier already suffers in even getting to the battle to attack enemies, the A-10 is even worse in this regard, and sometimes never even makes it to the middle of the map to ground pound.
Its fine where it is for now. just learn to stay out of its range.
Yes. But I dont think it should be the same BR in all 3. Different things matter for Sim. its why things like the FGR2 are 11.3 in SIm but 12.0 in ARB.
