Answer me this question: why do the French F-16A and F-15A have AIM-9M while the F-14B, F-18C early, CF-188, F-20 Tigershark, etc. have AIM-9L? Also, the F-15A was moved from 13.0 to 12.7, but the MiG-29A didn’t receive its legitimate R-73 at this BR? After all, as I understand it, in our case AIM-9L = R60M and AIM-9M = R73 in terms of balance. Moreover, an absurd situation arises when the Japanese F-15A with 9M and AAM-3 is at 12.7 and the Japanese F-16 with 9L is at 13.0.
I think the best way to balance the F-15A is to remove its AIM-9M. Leave only AIM-9L for all F-15A versions in the game.
The Gaijin just keeps changing aircrafts BR without caring what weapons it carries.
Therefore, either give the rest of the planes AIM-9M and R-73, or keep only the AIM-9L on the F-15A and the French F-16A.
If any of the developers think that the F-15A is weaker than, for example, the Mig-29G (with R73) in simulator mode, then I have bad news for them.

But answering this question - gaijin balances aircrafts around player performance. F-15A had atrocious stats so it was moved down, dragging Baz and F-15J alongside it because otherwise people would be obviously mad. Legacy 12.7s have stats “good enuff” for Gaijin to do nothing.
