Oh, BR changes are gunna be a mess, and nothing is going to be balanced properly ever again… Though at the same time. Is that really new?

But now we can just get every single weapon, no matter the consequence, because you can always opt to not use said max performance weapon and it can be a lower BR.

Always concerned about something like a Tonka GR4 being totally DOA with ASRAAM at whatever BR that would be, but at the same time would always want it…

Now, doesnt matter. heck, 11.7 GR4 with 9Ls is also possible.

looks like a base r-77 to me

I hope there is a limit to down tier you can get.

I, personally, don’t wanna see su27sm3 in fox1 br’s

Does that mean F-4EJ Kai finally would get AAM-3? (Despite there is F-15J with same loadout 4xAIM-7M + 4xAAM-3s on 12.7)

This is such an incredible step in the right direction that I struggle to believe it to be real. Wow, at last! Can’t wait for Ground vehicles to get it too!

good news for the Martlet on the Wildcat

also good news for many aircraft missile historical ordnance for “Balancing factors”

may we finally get AIM-9L on F-5E, F-4E, Phantom FGR.2

and be able to remove the SRAAM from Hunter F.6 & Harrier GR.1, and give them BRs where they’ll be good (8.7/9.0)

Ijust hope this is thought through properly. and how exactly BR changes will be done for ordnance

plenty more aircraft would benefit from a lower BR with no AAMs (Looking at you Hawk 200 ZH200), Buccaneer S.2B or Harrier GR.7. A-7s also included

The same way with modules currently. In order to use a missile, you need to have it unlocked. So you configure the aircrafts modules to get the BR

Hmmm so early ish top tier jets that can have next gen weapons (e.g., AIM-9X) could, but will be brought up in BR?

Naice.

it only took you guys 15 years

How about early-late vehicles already in game? Un-equipping AMRAAMs from a Tornado F.3 late and mounting skyflashes to it would make it identical to the F.3 early, making the distinction between early and late variants of the same plane almost redundant, are you planning in removing some planes from the tech trees in order to account for that?

Any planned improvements for the custom loadout page in regard to this?

Gunna need both more possible custom loadouts and a better way to organise them for each selected BR. Whether that is automatic (select a different BR and a different set of custom loadouts is shown) or some manual folders

Hey smin, would there be dedicated posts or sections to suggest potential candidates, or this one serves the role?

Spoiler

Also where is the teaser?

127

That is my understanding.

Tonka F3 Late with ASRAAM and C5s (or even Meteor) is now entirely possible, and entirely your choice

Where or how does it say that?
