Dude, this is one of the most absurd arguments to justify reducing the BR of an airplane.
Of all the 12.0 planes i can remember are the kfir C7, mirage F1C, j37D and F4S.
the mirage and the kfir are only better than the f4s at short distances.
The J37 has good IR missiles but a terrible radar missile (shit Skyflash), and a completely nerfed FM.
Of these 3 planes, the F4S is only at a disadvantage at short distances, in other aspects it is superior aircraft.
