Air Realistic BR 12.7, Whats Up With That?

Im wondering, is it a hard thing to do in programming? I do not know, because I am not a programmer.
Why do all the BRs need to be so compressed, what is so hard about spreading them out.
Case in point…if you have a BR 12.7 aircraft, which I have a lot of, I can understand uptiers, Ive been playing for 12 years, in an uptier you are facing a totally different animal than in other BRs.
BR 12.7 aircraft are stuck in the very worst spot, take a F16a for instance, with six Aim9Ls, and you are flying against UFOS and planes that do not really see a F16C, J11…or whatever BR13.3 plane you want to talk about.
Can you not spread the field out? Is it a programming impossibility? Its a question really.

Its really just ruined a lot of BR 12.7 planes, that people grinded for all the way from biplanes.

why you flying the a? its not for air superiority what do you expect

Why is in 12.7? What am I going to do, use its ground ordinance? You see what happens to planes that go to ground stike in upper tier RB.
I dont use the A anymore, thats the point of the topic. For that matter, should I use the ADF, with its aim9ls that are laughable in BR 11, let alone its current placement.
What you said, matches my topic. How about a Mig29, with its 4 r60ms against, fox 3s?, See that’s exactly what i mean about 12.7.

By the way, what is the F16A for?, Just to HAVE?, you answered your own question.

for ground realistic battles and fly the adf in air realistic battles

12.7 planes facing nothing but SPAAMRAAMs isnt very fair

it sucks but hey! hard work…

To be quite honest, I see what youre saying, but the TOPIC is BR 12.7 as a whole, not just one plane. See the name of the topic? This is why I disabled my battle chat on the interface about a year ago.

guy was asking and i answered. cant complain about that.

To be honest, all 12.7s even F16ADF/MLU, or Mig29 suffers, low chaff count, lack of IRCCM and depending on vehicles, 2 SARHs are not going to help, neither is the bad RWR, HMD + R60M or slightly better RWR but 9L without HMD.

This will be a never ending story, even if gaijin would do the right things.

First of all, there are vehicles better or worse, doesn’t matter what gaijin will do.
You can’t equal all of them, especially strike aircraft. Most of them only exist for GRB.
Even if the game mechanic changes to a point where these planes have an impact to the battle, they still have disadvantages in fighting scenarios.

Shorten the BR span was discussed and gaijin said no.
Decrompression takes time, and as we saw with the changes at 8.7 ish, gaijin isn’t good at it.

Imo a first step could be a balanced matchmaker for each player in a specific time, for example you play 2h and in this time the average down and uptiers are equal.

12.7’s not compressed. 13.0 however is compressed, which does cause issues for 12.7s.

NO! Do not flight F-16A in ground battles, its BR is too high for ground battles.
It’s only usable in air as its effectively the ADF. Both run AIM-9Ls, you just have to close distance with the standard A.

Are you fighting infront of a mirror?

They should stretch the gap between BR 11.0 up to 14.7 to have better match making and make a lot of aircrafts usable again, like Yak-141, MiG-29, F-15A, F-16AJ and stuff they are useless in uptier.

What I was asking in my topic prob should have been sent to the Devs. Is it a hard “Programming Issue” to stretch the BRs out to say BR 18, thus spreading everything out. You know, like if you’re trying to put a size 13 foot into a size 9 shoe, what you do is buy a bigger shoe. The concept of Limiting everything into BR14, is kind of what I do not understand. You keep adding more planes, stretch the BR out to make it equal.
Is it a difficult thing to do in the Programming Language, IDK? Im great on a computer, but Im not a “programmer”

No Im not, but I should be because Im so fine.

Nope. Gaijin just doesn’t want to because it would impact queue times, and they also don’t want to decompress since frustration seems to be a part of their model.

It’s also difficult to decompress well by just using vehicle stats.

Yes, do not believe in equality either mate. Yet right at 12.7 it begins to be ridiculous. A BR12.7, going against a whole different META of planes, in what is turning out to be an uptier half the time.
DEFYN on YouTube, a great pilot, said basically the same thing in a video released today, about the Su33,
I think its titled, “Su 33, a Great Plane In the Wrong Spot”, or something like that.
I just do not understand why their concept is to add planes and smash them into the current BR system. Im not a programmer, and so I am wondering if this is difficult to do.

Yes, and higher queue times basically means less money.
