F-84F could be added to that as well. Rank 6 in France & Germany, so no airspawn, but for the US its rank V, so gets airspawn

One could also mention later SPAA in general.
E.g. the British with their abysmally poor Stormer HVM at 10.3, and the Rapier at 9.7 which is vastly superior.
Or - another classic in such discussions - the Italian OTOMATIC at 11.3: Very powerful and fun, but outclassed in range by everything down to everything 1-1.5 BR’s lower…
I just checked again:
It is rank VI for Germany, Italy, France (TT & prem), Israel
So it is in the game for five nations and only one gets it with an airspawn, despite them all getting the same match making.

Might be easier to list what isnt over BR’d
Gaijin really did us dirty
Need to be lowered by 0.3 at lesst.

I forget about the other 2 nations having it as well

Having used both, I think it depends on the threat/context rather than one being superior than the other. Rapier I have terrible time with the target not dying with the first or even second missile and I waste stupid amounts of time hitting the same target over and over again
Stormer HVM is way harder to use, but generally the target does die in the first hit. it is Especially superior vs Helis
I haven’t researched the subject but I remain skeptical. It’s more likely that there is simply more players of +1BR in [big nation that said plane usually gets paired against]. But I’m gonna make no claims here.
Since we have no evidence that rank matters in-game whatsoever (apart from battle pass tasks), that’s probably just for research reasons. Or an oversight.
Really? I didn’t like it that much, I like the cannon P-51 much better and I don’t think the C-10 should be the same br as the P-51D-5
P-51D-5 at 4.0 whilst P-51C-10 (literally a better plane) is at 3.7.
A-7D and A-7E which get rear aspect missiles at the same BR (10.3) as A-10A which gets Aim-9Ls.
F-84F at the same BR as Sabres
The entire Spitfire and Yak line in general being insanely undertiered . . .
MD452 IIC is somehow higher than the Mig15 and f86.
Mystere IVA is somehow equivalent to the 15bis and the F2 (yes it’s 8.7 but 8.7 is basically 9.0 atp)
why? I honestly have no clue.

P-51C is awesome. I just cant justify flying it when I want battlepass rewards. Need rank 3 plane for it.
It’s 4.0 in SB.
the F-5 also has an AB while the 17AS is a copy paste TT version with the R3S so stranger that those two vehicles share a br too

Tasks and event grinding are precisely the reason to equalize the ranks
At one point the rise p was the only tt tank at 8.7 and everything else at 8.7 now had its br adjusted
Whilst i see frequently excellent Ki-67 pilots racking up 3-5 turret kills whilst turnfighting with Spits 😂😂 i would argue that the B-18B is the better plane and is way harder to kill thx to insane high alt performance.
And a single 600 kg M50 kills a base up to 4.7 matches - so a good choice for special tasks like 20 base kills. Since gaijin changed contrail alt to usually 9 km i haven’t lost a single plane…

I recommend to check the global stats for both aircraft.
The Wyvern is a prem Strike Aircraft and was played 100 times more than the 4.7 Ki-67 (just check Jan 2026 - 322k matches vs 3,2k matches).
But - the Wyvern has a significantly lower win rate and a negative kill per death ratio - despite beeing faster etc. Ki-67: Positive KpD ratio 😉
Intended roles play no role in wt. Skilled Wyvern pilots are rare - most of them are limited to point & click whilst experienced Ki-67 pilots take down actually important targets like enemy fighters.
It’s 4.0 in AB and RB.
Correct . That’s what i meant it’s essentially a MIG 17F. I just typed it badly :P .
nah, that’s understandable
