Only 8 changes total, but instead of using it to address some problems they actually ruined 9.3 matchmaker.
J35A 9.7 to 9.3
It’s the ONLY supersonic at that BR, over 200 kph faster on deck than anything else it faces, this is no longer ignoring sim, this is actively trying to sabotage it.
And the cherry on top is moving F-14A IRIAF and M2K S5 from 12.3 to 12.7 when there was no 12.3 bracket to begin with, thanks I guess, what a useful change, I guess at least it doesn’t make things worse, so we should be thankful for THAT.
Would also want to hear somesort of explanation why J35XS was lowered to 10.3 while J35D stayed at 10.7? I thought the J35XS was clearly a better version of the two?
I know you can’t buy the J35A right now, that makes this even worse. “oh, you have this exclusive premium no one else can get right now? enjoy your broken matchmaker and free kills”
Yeah. I am very sad about these changes too.
A-10C is still at 11.7 making that br unplayable for everyone else with its IFF cockpit+ aim9m+MAW.
Fox3 slingers still face fox1 only planes.
Very sad. I was hoping to finally see some new life injected into sim, but every plane from 12.3 to 11.3 that doesnt have fox3 is still either unplayable or at such at a disadvantage that it just isnt fun to play. I’m especially sad because I would love to use again the mig29, the f16adf and the su27, but it’s simply not possible right now. You cant even play in a lobby dominated by planes with either 6 or 4 fox3 missiles.
I agree with that, and I have that plane. It was ok were it was, it’s equivalent to mig21s, f100 or mig19. Luckily, not many people will play it, so I dont think it will be a common sight, but still…
Please Remember that this is air Sim section. Here you can join a “downtier” match 100% of the time if you choose so.
Do you also think it would be okay to raise the BR of J35A to 12.7? I mean, you still cannot buy the plane at the moment and you could just buy and use a better farming vehicle like J35XS. So almost no one would be affected right?
