So what kind of sick joke is this plane at 9.3 tier6? Or i don’t understand smtg?

Its at 9.3 because any lower it would be too good. Its flight performance is cracked. Any higher and it would be unable to compete with the rapidly increase in missile quality.

It’s like @CTCrusader says, the Ariete handles like a dream, it flies like it doesn’t even have a flight model.
If it was moved any lower, it would be ridiculously OP in a downtier (it arguably is already).
At the same time, in a full uptier it can meet 10.3. At this BR, you’ll face enemies who are either supersonic or have all-aspect high G-limit missiles. The Ariete doesn’t have flares and it’s subsonic, so a full uptier can be really rough.
So if you can’t move it up or down, then the only solution is battlerating decompression. The current BR spread is far too wide, and doesn’t allow balanced matchmaking.

I think they changed the FM for this thing, because it feels very heavy in a turn… Can anybody confirm?
When was the last time that you flown it before? In Sky Guardians (I think) update EVERY jet and possibly even props had their sustained turn rate nerfed
A couple weeks ago was my first and only time in the Ariete so far. The Sagitarrio felt the same way as the current Ariete. As apposed to a couple months ago when it felt much more nimble.
and it will be a joke at 10.3 anyway because it out dogfights everything. Cope harder.

Simple, move it to 9.0 and give it an extremely unlikely chance to get in a downtier.
(I personally don’t think theres a problem with the ariete but whatever)
i don’t think something that is a cl13b mk6 to the power of two with the best 30mm’s in game and the damage model of a su27 (yes, i meant the flanker, as it is 90 percent air) is going to make 9.0 any fun.

Lol, No you’re wrong
It should max out at BR 9.0 the problem is the incompetent players who don’t want to learn how to play that get shot down by Ariete .
Any airplane faster than Aries with missiles can have the upper hand against Ariete , but because the players are incompetent they end up losing speed on turns while trying to hit it when they should just shoot and run, since being faster they can easily escape the fight.
In what world do you think it’s fine for the Ariete to be fighting F2Hs, F-84s, Sea Hawks, or any slow-speed bomber of 8.0?
They can’t? You can outaccelerate Lightnings up to 950 while below 3km, and dodge SRAAMs without issue. The most you’ll be facing anyway is an R-13M, in which there’s no way for you to get hit without an unbelievable deficiency of the brain.
Worst you could see is actually the Magic 1. But yea, the Ariete at 9.0 would be criminal. It suffers in uptiers sure, but what plane really doesn’t? (excluding Ayit) In a downtier to 8.0, there is literally null anything can do to it.

Good, it’s the only missile that you can’t dodge and it’s still rear aspect… Believe it or not, enemies shouldn’t be behind you if you’re in an Ariete.
I don’t believe I’ve ever suffered in any match with the Ariete.
Its a plane that has to be an absolute pain to balance… 9.7 would probably be too high, and anything less than 9.3 and the plane would be outright criminal. Enemies shouldn’t be behind you in an ariete sure, but they can just run away and recommit later in an uptier imo.

Great way to see only your distorted version of the facts there are hunters as well as bombers, and then the bombers have always been hit and destroyed by fighters your argument is totally wrong
Stop complaining or are you too afraid to see italy being balanced correctly so you can get the easy kills? Why did you not mention that it is unfair for Ariete to face the MiG-19, the SU-7 or the MIG-21, just to give an example of very fast and lethal aircraft.
What I wrote in the previous comment unfortunately for you is totally true I don’t see any reason why a sub sonic aircraft, with no afterburner, no flare, or no radar or missiles tia at such a high BR. Aries should be at 9.0
In which you can defend from that? You’re borderline untouchable given your extreme acceleration and ability to turn with the likes of a La-15.
Might as well wait them out with your superior fuel retention. Kill them on the airfield or at a point where they can’t hold AB anymore.

Ariete shouldn’t face 10.0+, but It can’t go lower in BR either. Balancing problems are almost always rooted in BR compression (by design)

Man, I must have hit a nerve, did you hurt to hear the truth?.. Man, I’m tired of responding to hypocritical people on this forum who don’t know how to play the game and just complain.
So, unlike you, I reiterate my argument in the stark reality that I have said before, so at the risk of being repetitive but fair: “Any airplane faster than Ariete with missiles can have the upper hand against Ariete , but because the players are incompetent they end up losing speed on turns while trying to hit it when they should just shoot and run, since being faster they can easily escape the fight. I don’t see any reason why a sub sonic aircraft, with no afterburner, no flare, or no radar or missiles tia at such a high BR. Aries should be at 9.0”
Please refrain from answering and complaining again you only show that you are not able to play the game
Why should I play with a plane that has over-BR problems? Also spending money that is being flushed down the drain precisely because it has over-BR problems? Do everyone a favour and shut up, you’ll look better.
Ive never agreed with you, but to be honest you are correct in this case.
Ariete is insanely good, so is saggitario to a lesser extent.
I keep seeing people wanting it to go down in BR because of missiles, when you can just dodge missiles by turning because it can pull that hard.
Truly a great example of people with skill issues and playing vehicles they don’t know how to use
