Custom Battle Rating for Aircraft: More Freedom For Your Vehicles!

R-73 is it default loadout, you cant “strip” them off… Su-25T however, can be stripped off them (since it default armament is R-60M)

Well, it’s default till it’s not you know.
They can just set up R60MK for lower tier and limit it.

Nothing about this means it “can’t be done” just that they don’t want to bother doing it. Even with that assumption, there’s a myriad of work arounds that could be implemented.

Or not do it and keep default loadout as is

Sure, in theory everything is possible… but the reasoning for that being?.. Just to entertain the theoretical wet dreams of seal clubbing with just guns using more advanced aircraft?

I think gaijin should now add R73 on the Yak130

Together with UV-26M.

At this point the “in between” aircraft with practically no changes over another (like the Mig-29 9-12) should be removed from the game and/or folded. With this new system, there should be no reason to get the 9-12 over the 9-13 if the entire point was to have a lower BR Mig-29 with R-60Ms.

Yeah, my previous objections to adding fox-3s to the existing premiums was the inevitable BR increases, now with the option to not use them and not get up BRed that’s not a problem.
It’s just Gaijin gets a bit funny about prototypes that had some planned weapons integrated and others not, personally I think it’s silly given some of the other stuff in the game, but snail will snail.

Foldered yes, removed no

They should be foldered and 9.13 should be renamed to 9.13S and thats it.

@Smin1080p_WT are there any plans to apply variable BR mechanic to bombing loadouts? Specifically so that planes like F-104C, F-111A, A-5C or Wyvern could be rated separately for base-bombing and pure air-to-air gameplay instead of having their BR determined by bombing ability at the expense of a2a players.

Would be nice way to solve current air compression at ground rb. F4J for example, could stay at 10.7 or move down to 10.3 but after losing aim7. Using aim7 would raise its br to 11.7-12.3. Dedicated fighters wont be horribly undertiered just because they have poor air to ground arsenal.

Question: Are the BR increases tied to the armament alone or in combination with the aircraft? I.e., as a made up example, will an AIM-9L increase the BR of aircraft by 0.3 regardless of the base aircraft, or will it be dependent on the aircraft carrying it, if an AIM-9L causes an increase or not?

if the vehicle becomes essentially pointless it’s not hard to imagine it getting hidden from the tech tree

i wonder if the MiG-29 sniper would be able to get this and become worth the money

follow up question:
Will the BR be different on the amount of stuff you take?
Cause having one missle/bomb/rocket vs multiple is right now already the difference of planes BR and it would only make sense to include this into the forumula…
oh and while at it… please for the love of good make it also cost more SP to take multiple… right now 1 bomb/missle cost the same SP as taking 16

Both AV8B+ without fox3s so I can finally play the premium one without paying for the lower BR.

Yes, it will depend on that.
If you take no munitions at all, you will get BR 1.0

Not sure if ure trying to be funny or drunk or me just not getting what ure saying o.O

The F-84F would be a nice candidate to test the new feature, this aircraft is terrible without bombs.
