I unlocked the f86f30 in Japan a month ago and was doing really good with it and I’m about to get the cl13 mk 4 in Italy. Does anyone know if there’s any differences between the two? The cl13 has a worse engine in xray view, so is it just a flat out downgrade?
Yes.
Good players abused it to show a weakness in Gaijins BR balancing system, and it hasn’t recovered since.

Nah, it has always been a higher BR than F-86A-5. I don’t mean to poke fun at you specifically but its insane how often people misremember the details of that event where the player specifically: “Glitched” and his squadron specifically managed to make the 8.7 CL13 MK4 go to 9.0 specifically until before the BR changes hit it was REVERTED and never added. They just got gaijin to consider doing it, which while funny,is never what ppl say. I’ve heard it was the Mk5 or the Mk6 that got it too instead of the mk4 just because nobody knows the mk4 exists lmao
I say specifically 3 times there cause those are the exact details of the thing happening
to OP: the CL13 Mk4 is not literally but is practically a direct equivalent to F-86A-5 (USA, 8.0 br) but is at 8.3 because its on a minor nation thats not played by morons so the stats say its a better jet despite it being almost identical in performance to a lower BR jet.

Lol that’s a shame, but I’ll still play it. It’s funny how US players in chat say f86 is bad when I play that rating, but when playing f86f30(japan) as my first US plane I have a 2+ K/D. A small engine downgrade isn’t the end of the world hopefully
USA players think everything they fly is bad, in reality they are just bad.
