The F-16As shouldn’t be below 12.3, and even that’s pushing it. A Sea Harrier with only 4 Aim-9Ls is at 11.0, and an F-16 is at least 1.3 or more BRs better than that. There’s also no way The F-16A is an equal to the F-5E FCU.
I can Agree with this but also the F-4EJ Kai (Japan) is 12.3 and get the same armaments (Aim 9L & Aim 7F) but have more of them compared to the F-16AJ (12.7 Japan). Not only that the American F-16A only gets Aim 9L’s and no Radar missiles and sets at 12.7. Same could be said for the Netz (Israel F-16A) which gets Python 3’s, the F-5E FCU and the F-5T SCU gets Python 3 at 11.3. The only thing that the F-16’s have going for is its maneuver ability and tight turning rate and thats not good enough at the BR its at, having to fight Fox 3 missiles.
Currently I play under 11.7 BR whenever possible, because of Fakour and other R-27ER/Fox 3 spam.
Does anyone do the same for their ARB experience?
De-compression is needed for this BR. It is just frustrating to see half of the team wiped out by IRIAFs (goes for both friendly team and enemy team BTW). Especially when your plane has a bad RWR, such as Mirage F1C.
9.3-10.3 matchmaking is broken!
I write post, but it is closed, maybe someone see it here:
I was played some german 9.3 battles (50), most of them are full uptier with Russia on other side (few are with russia). Who play with Russia always win :) But that isn’t problem. Problem is when you play full uptier, one team often don’t even have one full uptier vehicle. For example my last battle: enemy team with russian: 3 players on 10.3, and 3 on 9.7. Other one: 2 on 9.7 rest 9.3 or bellow. Sorry for my bad writing but you can see it. I check full replay and no one on lower br team take vehicle 10.3-10.0.
PS. I’m second at the end of battle playing full stock lineup…
Gaijin is weirdly obsessed with strangling the last remnants of balance out of their game. More compression for everyone! Your flareless plane struggle against an AIM-9L? Have an R-73!
I’m only commenting upon vehicles I have played enough to be able to say something with confidence. I’m pretty sure that the 2s38 is under tiered but I don’t own it. I’m only mentioning things I own and have spaded.
Like I said, I agree with you, it’s just I like to get personal experience to verify what I expect from the stat cards before making definitive statements.
I mean a russian built anti aircraft prototype made into the best premium light tank in a russian game does raise questions about its balancing. It would still rock at 11.3 but hey I’m just a player who deals with the imbalance what do I know
They don’t care ,they never cared ,they will never care
If they did it would be so easy to fix
Simply put empty BR between WWII tanks/planes and Cold war ones …in same way empty BR between Cold War and Modern era.
But that would mean less money since they couldn’t deliberately undertier premium vehicles to reward those that are addicted to “Look at my K/D ,isn’t i amazing”.
So keep typing ,once they count money from sales of latest undertiered premium vehicles and bias ones …they will read your posts and have great laugh about it.
