21SMT and MF as well.
Seriously that tuning based on how much people fail with the plane has to stop.
You can’t tell XS and SMT/MF have worse capability as a F-5A with AIM-9E or a strike fighter like A-7s, or even F-104Gs and they are on the same level with F-104J that doesn’t even have flares…
Please please please fix the F-4J(uk) in SIM. Right now it’s 12.0 in SIM. It’s the exact same aircraft as the other UK phantoms but those are 11.3! Actually no, because the 11.3 Phantoms actually have the better RWR! How can a plane that is worse sit at a (much) higher BR?
It’s the same BR as the US F-4J, but the UK one has all the stuff removed that makes the F-4J actually somewhat good (no HMD, no AIM-7F, worse RWR…). So it’s extremely unfair that the UK F-4J sits at the same BR as the US F-4J but it has so much worse gear. At least the UK should get the AIM-9L as compensation (which it did carry in real life!)
At 12.0, with the SIM EC rotations, you are 6/8 days facing at least 12.7 (F/A-18) so it’s literally unplayable. 2/8 days it even faces 13.0 with Fox-3’s!
SAD to pay 60euro for a plane that is unplayable for 6 out of every 8 days…
When it came out, the R2Y2 was considered a bomber and as such had the appropriate airspawn, allowing it to clown on everything during the early game, that’s why it went up to 8.0, when Gaijin finally removed the airspawn, nobody played it anymore and it just stayed like that.
They balance it now is 12 BR with only 2 working missiles that actually are flerable as AIM L and put napalm bombs to Migs so they can bomb and kill you with impunity wird that they sell it for 70 eur and is higher BR that ML not to mention this same happens with Milan so now you are burden for the team trying to bomb + you need to face BR 13s War Thunder for you.
Can anything be done to jap f4aj ? While obviously only second to worst every f4 near its br, constantly being uptiered to f4s is kinda “why play this if f4s exists anyway”… Can it just receive the usable radar missile? (the dogfight one which is essentialy the same thing but no activation timer)
For this missile to work u need a foolish enemy to be facing you in 8km and him not having the radar missiles and also not reacting much to my missile… anything closer and missile wont react in time or wont have the energy to do anything
Actually it maybe played the same way as german f4f just not taking the “unusable” missiles and using the 4 aim9p, but it will just be a worse german f4f (cause the lack of agile eagle pack)
while agreeably not the worst premium it still a shame that it lacks in everything compared to amerikan fantoms at the same br (also the same appiles to not premium f4aj)
kfir c10 needs to get a lower br. you put a kfir in 13.0 which almost always gets uptiered to top tier (14.0 or 13.7) and give it only 4 missiles, which also doesnt have IRCCM. the derbys are okay but not very good at that BR. maybe lower it to like 12.7 or just make it not have uptiers or something.
also more merkava armor because the merkava 2D or raam sagol get penned by anything.
My proposed list of all F-104 BRs and why I think they should be there. Feedback is welcome.
9.3 - F-104A (US, CN), the base F-104 with 2 Aim-9Bs
9.7 - F-104C (US), it has 2 more Aim-9Bs and it can carry napalm too.
10.0 - F-104G (CN), 4 Aim-9Js, no CMs
10.3 - F-104J (JP), 6 Aim-9Js, no CMs
10.3 - F-104G (ITA), it only has 2 Aim-9Js making it worse than the 10.7s, but it also has CMs
10.7 - F-104G (GER, FR), 4 Aim-9JS and CMs, worse than the F-104S, but better than the rest.
11.0 - F-104S (ITA), it has a more powerful engine and 6 total missiles.
11.3 - F-104S ASA (ITA), It is equivalent to the J-8B, and I can’t see it being OP at this BR. 9Ls are found on other planes here, and so are Aspides.
