Yea but at what point does armament(not missiles) warrant a rating increase. Unless it’s something like the strike master with literal 7.62. Not disagreeing with the idea of them being separate ratings at all though, if it’s really a huge difference.
Anytime it greatly increases the performance of the plane, which it does for the F-86F-2
Yes i do
Going from peashooters to proper autocannons with actual capability to deal damage is pretty big.
F-35 should be same BR as the XS

it was way too strong at 12.3

No its not, it has the same weapons as the S4 at 12.3 just with a maw and some extra chaff.

it makes a lot of difference

Not when you’re facing 13.7 jets when you only have 2 SARH missiles. You’re overestimating the plane.

uptiers suck for everything, and the mirage 2k is a BANE for everything below it
the only way is to move things UP, not down
by that i mean moving fox3 carriers up until they no longer bully SARH only planes, and then repeating the same for other br ranges

You have wishful thinking with Gaijins expectations. The Mirage 2k is a good plane but there are other aircraft at lower BR’s that can kill it just fine. The MiG-23MLD comes to mind. Even the JA37C has a good shot at killing it too. It’s not overpowered.
and it still doesn’t change the fact that this a very strong plane that bullies in downtiers
man it would die to a 530 before the merge

Irrelevant hypothetical, the JA37C still has SARH missiles and a radar thats arguably advantageous over the Mirage 2K because it has an all aspect TWS while the mirage doesn’t

we can argue in hypotheticals all day, but this
is just not true
do i have to spell it out for you? do you really think those two don’t have a huge performance gap?
and again, moving other planes up (the viggen is a prime candidate btw) is the only way to achieve relative balance, and what you are suggesting is just BR compression

The two mirages are very similar; you think a slightly better RWR and some chaff is overpowered for some reason that it warrants a BR step increase. It’s like saying the premium Swiss F/A-18C should be 13.0 because it has 60 extra countermeasures compared to the other F/A-18C’s. You’re not making sense.

you are seriously underplaying the difference
its a MAW (that will save you from ir missiles you didn’t see coming) and a large amount of countermeasures (36 total vs 56 flares + 112 chaff)
it should be higher than the s4, but the planes above it are way too low

That only works like half the time and if you set it on auto you’re just wasting countermeasures. The K/D on both of these planes are fairly similar only that the S4 is slightly less because its an event plane and new people were flying it. Again you’re over estimating it’s capabilities

The MAWs on the mirage is really bad, left on you have no CMs left before you get to battle.
So just more CMs really is only +. Which doesnt warrent a higher BR- see f16 NETZ.
turn off auto dispensing? i do just that and only use it to spot third parties
