BR changes for France

[Gadfire]

French air realistic is a mixed bag right now, here are some changes I’d love to see.

1. Rafale C F3 moved to 15.0 and Rafale M F3-R moved to 14.7

2. S.O.4050 Vautour IIA moved to 8.3 and the S.O.4050 Vautour IIB moved to 8.0 with an air spawn.

3. Mirage 2000D-RMV moved to 12.3

4. F-104G to 10.3

5. Mirage IIIE to 10.3

Compared to the top five these next five would just be cool to see not really massively needed.

6. Give the Super Etendard magic 2s and move it to 11.0

7. Jaguar A/E moved to 10.3

8. Remove the Magic 2 from the Mirage F1C and move it to 11.0

9. F-100D moved to 9.0

10. Make the F-16A and F-16A OCU the same BR either 13.0 or 12.7 is fine

Obviously the biggest problem is the Rafale destroying top tier but it would be nice to see some of the worse aircraft below it get some love like the gun-less missile-less Vautour IIB sitting at 9.0.

Some time after this update, we’re planning a number of other changes, which we’re letting you know about today. In the near future, we’ll be introducing the new Rank IX for aircraft, which will contain some of the current top-tier vehicles, as they will move. Some rank VIII aircraft will be grouped together as well. Other related changes are also planned too, for example some early Tor…
