Some premiums have definitive advantages in air modes though (undertiering, airspawn).
Even pretty respectable and capable content creators call the Ariete (9.0 italian jet) essentially pay to win in ASB.
Really? I did not find it particularly strong in my experience, mostly with F100 just picking on them from 2km above but sure, pretty manoeuvrable jet. I think the most justified bias argument is J7D, which has 4 magic 1s, a radar, usable RWR and great manoeuvrability at 10.7. Loads of CM as well. Obviously what used to be considered as almost an equal, J7E is at 11.3, and its counter is A5C with barely supersonic capability and 2 magic 1s, plus 18CMs.
I do agree some premiums are very strong, probably under BR’d, but so is things Leopards 2A7/STRV122s, Pantsir, F15E previously, probably still FK90 spam, but they just exist, so do certain premiums, although over BR really exist rarely with premiums and do with some techtree ones. Also u have no ‘weak’ or ‘strange’ troll vehicles as premiums in general.
Here’s a video on the Ariete at least.
Opinion:
Bump Air RB max BR to 14.3 and move everything that has ARH up a BR bracket.
There are already enough top tier planes that the matchmaker should be fine.
So the top SARH planes will still see ARH but not literal full top tier every match.
Sorry about yesterday. I was a jerk.

The most simple thing they could try is to change the <=+1 and >=-1 is to just leave <+1 and >-1, that means strictly < or > …
But clearly they don’t want that.
Gaijin mechanic is to enrage and frustrate people so they would pay for premiums etc

Can a dev please justify the br/implementation of the Luchs for me?
I need something laughable to cheer me up.
Seriously tho wtf gaijin? First the luchs, then the pzh, then the typhoon… everything broken or crippled

Luchs at 7.3 seems okay when compared to Type 87 RCV at 7.7
It lacks stabilization but gets better reverse, thermals, more ammo before reloading and a bit of armor.
That’s what happens in rushed updates. PZH received many fixes over a few days.
the 87 is also over-brd but is more mobile.
Also how do both of them seem ok? You are a driving rp pinata. Russia and other nations have far more potent light vehicles at those brs, and you are useless against medium tanks and up as you cannot even disable their barrels
New Russian bias: BMD-4M.

19.6 HP/t on Luchs vs 20.3 HP/t on the Type 87 RCV. Former has much better reverse speed so I’ll have to give the mobility advantage to Luchs.
They are definitely not great but they aren’t trash either.
This simply isn’t true.
its a german vehicle, thats the explanation

can u say f 14 why they are at 12.7 there is no plane can handle them from 50 km away ?
for the same reason that Maus is fighting against 500mm APDS and HEAT shells (bad balancing)
i assume that you with 3000 battles dont have top tier (srry if u actually have)
F14 is kinda bad against modern ARH missiles, so what happens is that F14 (being american ofc) got the benefit of the doubt and was undertiered while many other vehicles are being overtiered because “they would be too OP in downtiers”
i mean tbh Phoenix missiles arent that crazy and the F14 has to kinda know how to launch because they arent reliable necessarily

Gaijin really needs to decompress.
Even one of the better 13.0 planes (F-4F ICE) still struggles in an uptier, and goes against planes with more missiles, and a hilarious level of flight performance.
Apparently, Gaijin thinks that a Phantom airframe and a Typhoon airframe are only worthy of being 0.7-1.0 apart (depending on if we count the better loadout as an extra 0.3, which we should).

Gripen C for UK needs some help the recent buffs to the Su-27/J-11 and the addition of Typhoon and Rafale. Combined with the worst Radar missile in the game at top tier the R-Darter. They can no longer play the only way they can because the Typhoon, Su-27 and Rafale with MICA EMs all do it better.
This jet no longer has a niche it cant bvr and it cannot rat anymore
Nothing can really be done about it really
Compression everywhere
We just need decompression, because top tier could very easily be 16.0.
