So say you’re playing the F-15C or F-16C, both jets that literally, in real life, carried top-tier missiles, and for some reason, they’re about to get completely screwed. We were already dealing with the R-77-1, and now we’re going to be dealing with buffed-up AIM-120s just because it’s at some stupid battle rating? The F-15E and F-15C are almost identical in everything except ground-pounding ability. The F-15E outspeeds the F-15C, but that’s literally about it. So why the hell are the F-15C and F-16C about to get stuck at 13.7, where every single game, unless you somehow get a full downtier you’re fighting people with missiles way better than yours?
It makes absolutely zero sense why the top of some tree lines are gonna be completely cooked because of an inherently dumb BR placement.
The 13.7s should go up, yes, however there shouldn’t be such a large jump from Fox-1s to AIM-120C-5s. Move all 13.7s and 14.0s up by one BR bracket, and it’d be fine.
Why not have an option for option for both?
add the AIM120C5s to the F-15s and F-16s along with R-77-1 to the Mig-29SMT and SU-27SM (the Russian airforce never used R-77 anyway, they went straight to R-77-1), un-nerf the AAM-4s for the F-15Jm and F-2 and move them all up to 14.0 and move the F-15E/I, Su-30SM and EFs/ Rafs up to 14.3.
That’s a VERY significate advantage with missiles that require speed and altitude to get the most out of their capabilities, the problem is that a lot of the F-15E players either carry a full bomb load as well as the missiles, negating that advantage, or lawn mow, also negating their speed and climb rate and end up in sub 10km engagements where even an missile as bad as the R-77 has an advantage.
Yeah, the multiple times Gaijin has added new generations of jets without increasing the max BRs, then moved down the old top tiers down when they inevitably get clubbed has made a bit of a mess. Sure they eventually accept that they need to raise the max BR but they rarely move any of those down tiered planes back up.
I completely agree, the best outcome imo is just give everyone the actual good missiles and don’t cook certain ones just so like 5 vehicles can get the 120C.
It truly is, but the issue is that you face something with a significant advantage every single game. Anything .3 above your br you face every single game unless it is a rare full downtier, which why should 120s even be facing 12.7 sometimes lmao.
Only the ARH F-15s, Su-27SM, and J-11B should be made 14.0.
The rest are fine.
And ARH F-15s should move up to 14.3 if any other F-15s move up to 14.3.
