That’s totally fair, and I doubt myself on removing the 9Ms. My concern is that compared to other 12.0s, it would far outclass any of them. The F-15A versus F-16A ADF is what I believe to be somewhat fairer with 9Ms removed. 12.0 would also be the same BR as the F-14A in this case, where the F-15 is obviously a superior aircraft. The F-14B in comparison would have more countermeasures and ARHs, albeit not very useful ones, at the exchange of far inferior flight performance. Both F-14s could also receive a slight reduction in engine heat output. The fact is, the AIM-9M is too powerful against 11.3s, and that’s also what I wish to mitigate. There are some aircraft like the Harrier where the AIM-9M is added to compensate for flight performance or lack of SARH at top tier, but in the case of the F-15, the only thing it really lacks is SARH quality when compared only to the Su-27. This is why I still want it to be a lower BR than the 27. Raising the cap to 13.3 would be the real solution, but that’s not going to happen.
Not with that airframe it’s not
The 9.0 RCV needs to be 8.3 frankly. Give it a lineup with the Type 74C/STB/Type 87 again.
The RCV(P) should be 7.3 to make a nice lineup with all the other 7.3s japan now has
I never comment, but this is so absurd I just have to. You’re the only person arguing the T20 should be 6.3, this forum is filled with your comments about it. What did the T20 do for you to hate it so much? It’s just a very slightly better Sherman there’s no reason for it to be up there with the Pershings. The only comment you have that people agreed with was that the APCR wouldn’t matter which is true because the 76mm APCR is much worse than its real life counterpart. In real life its documented to be able to pen flat armor at 208mm which is a far cry of what it can do in the game. The Panther has 30% more penetration than a T20. The Panther has 80% more frontal armor than a T20, almost double. Why should the T20 have a higher battle rating than it? Perhaps you think the T20 is better at flanking. Well sorry to burst your bubble, but the T20 is only 25% faster you see them flanking because that’s all the tank can do. Almost no one plays the tank because of this. All that’s out there to play it are the people that like to play tanks they know suck and crush their enemies with them because they are highly skilled and think its funny. That was already happening before the nerf. Now only the best of the best are going to be playing this tank and i’m not going to be surprised when this tank goes to 6.7 next. We need to start placing tanks in the battle ratings that reflect their statistics and not who plays them. When that band aid is ripped off it’ll finally solve the skill issues causing all this mess. Everyone knows France sucks no one ever complains about them being over powered so only people willing to try hard and do well to play the tanks plays them, so now we’re seeing France only consisting of more and more skilled players as France gets nerfed into the ground again and again in a cycle that won’t end until the beforehand mentioned band aid is finally ripped off and the game eventually heals into a much better game.
ROC M60A3 TTS never got the ERA. it should obviously get m774 though, since they did use that.
they’re also planning to get a 1000 horsepower engine upgrade by RENK
More likely that no HMD is the reason for the lower BR. Note that all 12.7s except for the Mirage 4000 have HMD.
Mirage 4000 likely just got moved up because it’s french.
Haven’t gotten to it yet personally, but yeah, heard it’s in a poor spot.
I’ve heard the same of the Type 89 as well…
Changes are already implemented, you sadly have to wait for another BR changes or make a suggestion on the bug report forum ( last time i was told to get there if i want to suggest a change in weaponry for plane )
I highly doubt that the HMD played a role. I suspect a large chunk of F-15 pilots are people who bought premium american/japanese phantoms, ground the trees exclusively by base bombing, and then proceeded to completely lawn dart once they started trying to actually engage in air to air combat.
It lacks in SARH quality against anything with R-27ER’s, though, which includes the Su-27, J-11, MiG-29G, and MiG-29SMT. I agree that the best solution would be decompression.
It’s just a faster F-16A/ADF with a bit worse dogfighting performance, and the extra two IR missiles the F-16A/ADF (assuming the F-15A gets the 9M removed to lower its BR) gets certainly makes up for the top speed disadvantage.
Type 89 isn’t as bad, it is somewhat surviving there, due to the stab, thermals, the fact the gun is pretty good at nailing MBTs in the side, and ATGMs. I’ve been playing it in a 9.3 lineup while trying to spade the Type 93 and still being fairly successful. Of course, the RCV has literally none of that, it only just gets through MBT sides at closer range, and isn’t even much faster to compensate (especially since they neutered its reverse speed which really hurts something that needs to stay mobile)
they werent raised because their wr’s are fucked by virtue of being usually matched with the US
It’s quite obvious they all should’ve gone up with the rest
The sparrows are basically 2nd best and are perfectly viable, and the greater quantity of them is an advantage of its own against anything but the flanker.
The thrust to weight ratio on the Eagles is godly, and its huge supply of countermeasures is tremendously useful in air RB. It kicks the stuffing out of the phantoms that it clubs at 12.3 as well as the migs that don’t even have pulse doppler. It belongs with its peers at 12.7
That’s assuming the AIM-7M is even viable, it isn’t. That’s why the R-27ER being in game is a problem as right now whether or not you can use a radar missile at top tier is the yes/no question “is it the R-27ER?”
That doesn’t matter at top tier, you either have good dogfight performance or you have good BVR/long range capability - the F-15 doesn’t have any (in comparison to the jets moving up to 12.7).
That’s true, but that alone isn’t going to be enough to do well.
Imo no phantom should be higher than 11.0, so honestly yeah I agree
Other planes either get more useful missiles (more than just four) and/or better dogfight performance, though.
FINALLY. SOMEONE. POINTS. THIS.
Don’t waste your time arguing with him, at this point i’m sure that it’s a troll.
Just played two 11.0 GR games in a row in a 10.0 lineup … Both with Japan.
I thought the cap for 10.0 was 10.7, based on the new sheet. Same as the 9.7 line, caped in 10.3 …
Am I wrong ?
aim7F is still a perfectly fine missile.
Just because it’s 2nd best doesnt automatically make it useless. Just stay low and fire them at people higher than you at like less than 10km, free kills if they dont know how to evade it in a headon.
There is absolutely no justification for the F15’s to be at 12.3 given the overall airframe+kit combo, especially not something like the F15J now that AAM-3’s are better modeled now.
If you want a truly unviable SARH missile try using one of the skyflash or 530D planes.
yes, you are. that list was for sim battle brackets only.
Why are the F-15s not moving up alongside the other 12.3s?
It makes absolutely no sense that the F-16C, Barak II and the Gripens get moved to 12.7, but the F-15s stay at 12.3.
Also, what’s the deal with the Falcon going up to 8.3? It doesn’t have a radar or targetting computer/lead indicator, the only thing it has going for it is the 25% APDS belt. At this rate just get rid of that belt and bring it back down as there is no point to bring the Falcon as a SPAA when the ZA-35 and Chieftain Marksman both are 8.3 as well
beecause the f15 is dogshit
