[Discussion] Balance, Bias, Matchmaking and Battle Ratings

No, I told you. BR compression. It’s strictly better then earlier mirages. Putting Kfir down means those have to go down, those going down means subsonic flareless jets suffer, more.

No? You can energy trap it.

Missiles>>>

R-60s do not ignore flares.

PL-5B is quite literally STRICTLY better than R-60.

The community and myself disagree with you.

@Yak_Norris1 do you think f14b is worse than f15a?

you know the mig25 with radar missile fight against them

what makes the kfir canard 11.0?
like the speed? maybe dorito wings? or mybe even the artment?
what makes it 11.0?
for me its pretty good plane but i played less 1000 games with him maybe 300 so i still a “noob”

F4c has exactly no counterplay to an r40td

I do agree with you
Because I also have a friend who mains one nation

MiG-25 does not fight subsonics without flares

Absolutly nothing.
No redeeming quality

Faster, better FMs, better missiles all exist at same or even lower BRs.

Kfir gets slapped by j35xs/ anything really. Has no RWR vs ruski missile spam- Which is just salt in the wound.

Its the worst experience in the game bar none that iv played …and uv gotta pay ££££ for it

Could easily be at 10.3 and still.not be the best at the BR…

5.7 Jumbo is the 75mm gun, and it abysmally lackluster against 90% of the enemies it goes against, the 75 jumbo could easily go down to 5.0 while the 76 jumbo goes to 5.7

This is just untrue.

It has much better flight performance, better missiles, more CMs, but it only has 2 missiles.

Does it tho? Me and a friend tested (not a hill id die on ) and the XS won every time, no matter the pilot.

Kfir is faster but has Wobbly rudder aim and becomes worse the slower it gets. XS snappier, feels smoother/ pulls better at all/ most speeds = win.

The Kfir can just stay faster and use it’s absurdly better P/W ratio to accelerate away and drain the draken of all energy.

The Drakens usually have one or two good pulls in them and after that they have lost so much speed that many other airplanes will win after that because the drakens aren’t that good at energy retention.

From my experience, the XS can win DF vs most other jets around its BR …other than jets with f5 levels of rating- even then the XS has chances. I like it 1 vs 1, anymore tho and its dead real fast. Id take it in a 10.0- 11.0 game over the abomination for sure.

Kfir to 10.7 would do. At 11.0 its just a dead jet

Fair. But leave the floor in a game RN= Russian surprise lol

Take away the AI kills and remove the silver earnt and the kfir stinks the place out

Yeah, it fights flareless and/or RWR-less supersonics.

Examples:
F-1
J35 D/XS
Su-17 at 10.0
Both TT Q-5’s at 10.0
most of French TT 10.0’s
various Israeli TT mirage variants at around 10.0…

Not even to mention one-off gems like the Chinese F-104 at 10.7 with no flares and RWR blind to J-band. You know before the even they saw 23ML every once in a while, but now its permanent mig25-fest. Go figure.

Last update has killed it for me.

Mig25 has made every game in 10- 12 a bore fest with added fun of being made to ground hug the full game.

Aesa radars everywhere but no increase in BRs. Etc etc etc. Trying ground ATM airs got that bad.

when a good 75% of US 5.7 matches are actually 6.7… fighting king tigers and panthers with a jumbo 75 is nightmare fuel.
