I started stock grinding the squadron F-16A OCU, which is clearly undertiered because its better than the actual one in the TT that sits at 13.0, but somehow was placed at a lower BR, genius stuff right? What else could we expect from gaijin…
So, although I am playing the best 12.7, the experience is still miserable. Constant uptiers to 13.3 and 13.7… The efficiency/performance gap from your average 12.7 to 13.0 is already what should represent a full uptier. Nevermind 13.3 and 13.7 facing 12.7s
F-16A OCU has no damn place being 12.7, and 12.7s have no place facing 13.7 or even 13.3 jets.
BR compression is insane, and it’s been like this for a long time. Gaijin wake up… please.

13.0 needs massive decompression along with 9.3 to 11.7

11.7’s not compressed at all.
It literally only has one fighter in it. And two fighter bombers.
13.0’s compression is however causing issues down to 12.3, and 12.3 having under-BR’d jets is causing issues for 11.3s - 12.3s.
what i mean is that one 11.7 fighter needs to have some of the 12.0s moved up so it can move up as its a big compresion problem 13.3s are cause of compression

the OP 13.0s like the SU33 should get moved up to 13.3 but cant cause AIM-120 and R77 premium spam

The belgian F-16A has nothing against the su-27 and they share the same BR cause the flankers cant go up because of BR compression

For a BR to be compressed, multiple vehicles of different capabilities need to be the same exact BR.
If that is not the case, then there’s no compression.
And yes, F-15A, Su-33/27, F-2A cause issues at 13.0 being the same BR as drastically inferior aircraft such as Sea Harrier and F-14B.
11.7 would be compressed if F-4E or F-4J/FGR2 was the same BR as the F-111F/C, Mig-23ML/D, and Kfir C2.
Decompressing 13.0 ends all issues 11.7 and 12.0 have currently.
EXACTLY MY POINT :) the flankers dominate 13.0 right now soley cause they cant be moved up
ok then mig29 at 12.3.
yak141 at 12.3 also
F4E at 11.3 constantly faces the mig 23 MLD and ML which are better in basically every way 24/7 due to them only be .3 higher
That’s why the Mig-23ML is a higher BR than the F-4E.
Better acceleration and slightly better radar missiles is the exact reason for a 0.3 increase in BR.
Why? Those can’t move up or down because of BR compression, and both are 12.7 standard, the yak141 is even a good 12.7 by itself but the compressed matchmaker makes them unplayable right now

better flight performance just all around and way better missile and radar cause it can track low to the ground F4E can do almost nothing to a mig-23MLD MLD should only be faced at worse in a full uptier it has no right to face 10.7s
Only the MLD has superior all around flight performance.
And both have fairly easy to defeat radars, while chaffing after the fact requires you to defeat the missiles still as both AIM-7E-2 and R-24R still see radar reflections of the plane even after the radar swaps to chaff.
F-4E isn’t the same BR so mentioning it is pointless.
even the ML can rather easily beat the F4 by just draining it of its energy
the IOG of the R24R makes it far harder than the aim-7e2 to defeat

why should the yak141 be at the same br while having more fox 1 missile ?
It shouldn’t, but it can’t go to 13.0 because it is completely outclassed by the flanker for example.
The mig-29 can’t go to 12.3 because it’s way too strong for 12.3.
This is the effect of BR compression, makes balancing difficult or impossible in some cases.
they could just give its historical load out
That would put it for sure in 13.0 which is where the Mig-29G is, which is a better plane than the 13.0 belgian F-16A
