Am I the only one who feels that BR matchmaking is unbalanced?

Is it just me, or does War Thunder’s BR system feel really inconsistent sometimes?

For example, some aircraft like the A-5C or F-4C often face opponents that have way more advanced systems — tons of countermeasures, radar missiles, and better radar in general. Meanwhile, those older planes have little to no countermeasures or radar capabilities at all.

On the other hand, there are jets like the Su-25BM with R-73s, facing aircraft that don’t even have good missiles or any real way to counter them.

It just feels like the BRs don’t always reflect the actual combat effectiveness of these planes. Does anyone else feel the same way, or am I missing something about how the BR balancing works?

Well first off air br is horribly compressed from 8.0 all the way up to 14.3, and that gotta be fixed
Then, the linear br system is indeed flawed but I don’t have any better idea so idk

Still the same BR as the J-7D, even though it lost the ability to bomb a full base, AND didn’t receive any buffs to compensate for the raise to 10.7

Although the J-7D needs to go up, it’s genuinely revolting to how OP that jet is
