The AV-8B can only carry 6 missiles (you can trade 2 AIM-9M out for 2 AIM-120), the F-4F ICE can carry 8 (4 AIM-9L/I and 4 AIM-120) and has better flight performance. No reason for them to have the same BR.

Faster aircraft means more range on the missiles, an easier time climbing, etc. but I think the AV-8B will have the advantage in a turn fight? So them being quite close in BR but not the same would be okay in my eyes
Could also be a decent time to rebalance some of the vehicles in rough/weird spots. Make the F-4C into the F-4D (just change the name and give it countermeasures), give the F-14A AIM-9Ls and the F-14B AIM-9Ms and move them both up even more, remove AIM-9Ms from the F-15A to make it less oppressive to its peers and more in-line with the early F-16s, give R-73s to the MiG-29 (9-13) and Yak-141 while removing their R-27ERs and bumping them up by another 0.3 BR, make the Su-27SM into the Su-27SM3 with the stronger engines and another pair of pylons, give the J-11A PL-12s and a usable RWR, etc.

It’s not even close to F16C and F15C’s performance

It way better than 13.3 planes perfomance.

Have you tried playing it? It is waaay slower and because of this it has shorter range of missiles

Это ты несёшь - все радары +/- одинаково видят и одинаково глючат (лочат землю, пустоты, ракеты) По сути в игре только 2 радара типа “советский” и типа “западный” у которых у всех одинаковая дальность, углы, итд. Пара уникальных есть, вроде того-же миража, но суть не меняется - все радары в игре это плейсхолдеры не имеющие ничего общего с реальными радарами.
All radars +/- are advancing and are equally glitchy (locking the ground, empty space, missiles) In fact, in the game there are only 2 radars, the “Soviet” type and the “Western” type, which all have the same range, angles, etc. There are a couple of unique ones, like the french Marage, but the essence does not change - all the radars in the game are placeholders and have nothing in common with IRL radars.
Flares would also make it playable.
That is, an aircraft with an Aim-120 with a combat rating of 13.0, where the aircraft are armed only with short-range and medium-range missiles, will be a fair decision for you?
It’s a good 13.3, HORRIBLE 13.7.
Gaijin really commiting to this out-of-season April Fools joke. Everyone knows Gaijin doesn’t decompress.
For serious though, a few oddballs here and ther, but overall positive changes. I just wish The changes extended down to a certain set of F-104s that should be closer to 10.4 as far as I’m concerned.

Best 13.3 and near to fine 13.7.
As far as I can see from this table, MiG-29SMT has BR13.3…
Must have 13.7.

The F-4F ICE gets AIM-120’s as well. More of them, actually.
FGR2 12.0
Tonka ADV 11.7
HAHAHAHA Are you for real. Ohh yes plane with better missiles, better radar, better RWR, with more countermeasures that is also kinematically superior is somehow worse
F4C to 10.7??? wtf? you should really put it to 10.3

In what world is the F-104G better then the F-4F (with same weaponry) while also being equal to the F-4E

It’s not “fine”. Check out the video I showed earlier
the JS35XS change is insane … no RWR, 12 flares (6 pops) total, mediocre rear aspect only missiles, gimped flight model and it is going up two MM steps to 11.3? To the same BR as Mig-21bis/lazur with far better flight model + all aspect missiles + rwr + way more chaff/flares?
how the hell was this list made? “I’m too lazy to do any work, chatgpt generate me list of some changes while I take a nap”?
