Su-7 is faster thats why, A32 is subsonic and with bombs its slower than an Su-25 for most of its flight time, speed is a large factor to BR

Is yak 28 not 9.0? Pretty sure im super sonic in that? Idk been a while since i spaded it. Was a pretty good bomber since it had flares and was pretty fast.
It’s… complicated. How aircraft are balanced purely for their ground attack capabilies is a long and complicated issue that Gaijin really needs to address. A good example for this is the Buc S1 at 8.7.
No Guns, No missiles, No CMs and not even decent engines like its older brother the S2. But at 8.7 (just barely lower than the A32A with even less)
You may just have a load of chaff, but that is more than a lot of 9.0-9.7 aircraft have.
Finally something we agree on

9.3, and subsonic below 4000 meters.
Who’s actually staying under 4000m with it? Idk bomb slinging from high alt was always my goal, enjoyed it more than the Su-7 since low alt bombers are actually food. If you’re not able to get close to mach its even worse
Bomb accuracy mostly.
Back when we had good sized maps [small] I ran min fuel and got up to 80,000 RP per hour in it.
Absolutely ridiculous, now it’s largely mediocre due to larger maps.
Maybe though with flares its still definitely one of the safer and better bomber grinders at early 9.x essentially the perfect duo of flares and speed.
Su-7 with S24 with distance fuze as the snail intended
While A32 A has more weapon options, more hard points, calculation tools. I mentioned that to consider what the OP’s stated about the A32 A while only showing inferior aircrafts.
Yak-28B is a very fragile aircraft indeed effective, cant sustain over ~1 200 km/h without losing the wings.
Does it still get airspawn as well?
None of them do
The CCIP and Guns make it ok at 9.0.
Thanks, I know things like the Buc lost it, but I wasnt sure about the “jet bombers” still air spawn or not
Ill still take the Yak over the Su-7 or the A32, flares are far too valuable, and the speed advantage is a huge plus. Id go as far as to say its the best TT grinder for Russia if your looking for a bomber until you hit Su-25 which imo i just hunt base bombers and forgo the CAS aspect lol. I did the same with my Mig-27’s since i have positive KD’s on all of them because that 30mm is a beast of a gun.
Better in ground RB in a full downtier than it is in air in a downtier. Too weak of an engine to energy fight. Honestly the best jet for sweden here is the J29F even though its a 8.7 chassis but with aim 9B’s
Best advice is to just skip this section of sweden air, its arguably the worst rank of any nation if you’re a casual player. I suggest using something from 7.x or 8.0 vampire to grind until you hit 10.7

I do believe i have been summoned.
I agree plus the J29F also has strike ordinance sure no CCRP but the rockets are definetly still effective
only for CAS which isnt relevant in ARB
It has good flight performance, guns, and speed. It only lacks missiles and flares. Considering I used it to grind a lot in the Swedish TT, and have played almost 500 battles in it, and mostly using it as CAS or a bomb runner, in GRB and ARB, any my kills/deaths ratio for air targets shows, but it’s an overall positive KDR.
It could easily go to 8.3/8.7.
Because the Su-7 is supersonic and can outhaul anyone’s ass in the match, only not doing so in an uprtier.
