Its hard to say for sure but personally theres nothing iv used thats worse.
Spaded mig21bis at weekend vs mig25 lobbies and got around 2.0Kd. Kfir canard is probably under 0.5 at same BR.
Could say its a skill issue. But i do fine in flareless doritos at 10.0. Id also fight in the 10.3 nig21, f8, j35xs and other 10.3s at 11.0 BR than the kfir. Wouldnt mind but i only bought it as it looked fun not even to grind.
it can happen in air battles even, I remember because I had the most heated dogfight in my bf-109 g-6 vs another bf-109 g-6. we got third partied and I died to a yak-3 sadly
The Kfir is at 11.0 for 1 simple reason, SL per minute, why is it so high you ask, well it is a fast plane that can bomb before anything in a 10-12 BR radius apart from the F104s, but then it is pretty crap so dies quite quickly, so therefore high SL per min of game time.
Others will say it has one of the higher K/DR in the game, this is mostly due to everyone grinding Israel last, so you have people who have played all other TT in the game and are generally quite experienced so will naturally do better.
IMO it should be max 10.7, there are some 10.3s and 10.7s (J35XS, J7D ect) that should be moved up.
After spending several months on this forum, I realized that the developers are completely indifferent to these discussions. All I ever heard from the community managers was that they don’t play this game and have no contact with the developers. So what is the point of having discussions on the forum if they don’t influence anything? Perhaps the only purpose is to receive news about updates.
I’ve just had a battle with my 11.0 “line-up” with Russia on both sides, although guess what side was full of BMPTs and steamrolled another one without it.
Although I managed to get a few in my KF41 and A129)
PS I wish that awful 30 mm Bushmaster could fire faster.
The problem is Gaijin balance off SL/M and not K/D or K/S, so you have stuff like the F104TAF, Kfir cannard and A-5C being ovtiered, while the J35XS, J7D and NF5A are all undertiered.
The J7D has a 1.5 K/D, this is a plane I see level 10s in regularly doing very well in, someone that new to the game should not being getting 3-4 kills a game.
Sure! It’s also a complete piece of nothing in comparison with the FM. The radar missile is also a pulse missile so deploying one (1) piece of chaff is sufficient to fool it.
9Gs are not far behind Magic 1s in effectiveness. Both are 1 flared. 9Gs have 2x the range. Magic 1s have more pull.
I’m going to say it a third time, Kfir’s flight model is EXPONENTIALLY better than the Mirages at lower BRs. It is nowhere close.
Im not arguing against that, im saying Mig21SMT/MFs, J7Ds and NF-5s are far to good and need to go up.
Also Magic 1s have a lower FOV so if you fire within 1km it is much harder to flair it, and you cant use the range of the Kfirs 9Gs as its RWR is so bad you cant go to altitude.
Lastly the Mirage 3E is not amazing at 10.7, I would rather take the Mirage 3C at 10.0 as you can strap a rocket pod on it. There is also the Mirage 3S that gets 2 radar missiles and 2 IR at 10.3.
