Change the BR of the F-86K to 8.7 or 8.3 (along with a BR reduction for all other Sabres)

With the F-86K and other F-86s being significantly outclassed by every other aircraft in the sky, these bricks are slow, have horrendously bad guns and have terrible rudders causing inefficient gun platforms, the worst of all being the F-86K and F-86 F-40 how on earth are these two at 9.0? The K is a brick with low muzzle velocity on the guns, and the F-40 is a brick with rounded corners (ever so slightly more maneuverable) with easy to lead impossible to aim .50 cals that are about as effective as .22 LR.

The solution to this is to put the F-86K to 8.3 (or 8.7 if we don’t want to make it too good), and along with a 2 BR step drop for all in the Sabre series.

“Oh but they have AIM-9Bs” Third worst air to air missile in the game aside from the Firestreak and Falcon, not to mention they are already at 8.0 on a much better fighter, or with four of them on a significantly better aircraft. Point is irrelevant

Don’t judge a plane by his stock performance.

The BR reduction of the Migs and Sabres was the worst thing GJN ever made. This is compression at it’s finest.

.50cals are better today than ever before.

they significantly outperform most of the aircraft at their own br

sabres (and migs) are actually undertiered

MiGs are obviously overpowered, no doubt about it but a Sabre at 9.0? Come on why?
