There is practically 0 balance considerations for Air vs Air in GRB. Im not really sure why you are even mentioning it.
Balance is entirely around air vs ground, which makes sense and in that regard the Ayit outperforms pretty much everything else sub 10.0. Which is why its 10.0.
It could very easily, though at 10.3 you have things like the Buc S2B and A-10A which are probably better, so it starts entering the realm of compression issue
We are already compressed given the Tornado at 10.0 is a better F-35 while the F-35 is the same BR as the Phantoms with FnF munitions lol. Its a mess overall, even A7K is pretty unfun imo
Ayit is absolutely fine and fantastically powerful at 9.7 ARB. It’s all about those AIM-9D, and they work great. If the Hunter F.6 is fun to play with no flares at 9.7, the Ayit is a dream boat.
