The skyrocketing K/D stat coincides with a 48% increase in games played per month for F-15A and 94% for the F-15J.
There are more games, more players and they’re performing almost 50% better. Noobs or not, everyone gets a trickledown taste of the new imba.
We are witnessing levels of BR abnormality just one step below the BMPT situation.
The main cause is creating compression by moving down jets that have radical advantage over competition below them instead of making a proper decompression. All that K/D came at the expense of others. Someone suffered so that F-15 players could get a good time.
Is it so hard to move top tier +0.7 up instead of +0.3 and make room for decompression in the BR’s just below them?
And no, this monster isn’t balanced either and should go up in BR with the next decompression leaving the headroom for the F-15A and MiG-29’s and Hornets below it.
Im more concerned with the fact that F-15 BR buff unleashed a tidal wave of people asking THEIR planes to be moved down in BR with argument of “well F-15A is 12.7 now”.
Sure, lets just throw away the communitys hard fought decompression second gaijin moves one plane down and make the game worse for everyone.
Im afraid they wont go up for a long long time unless we get massive top tier decompression, since I doubt gaijin will revert their decision so quickly.
Really funny how the much much worse airframe with way less CMs will be .3 above the far superior airframe with WAY more CMs lol, and i personally take 9Ms any day over R73
Shush. I just got my hands on the Baz. Leave it alone for like 3 months.
Also, I should note that Graph spikes aren’t necessarily telling of a vehicle’s performance. Sometimes, when a change happens, experienced players rush to try the vehicle they haven’t played in a while once more. That naturally results in higher kill rates.
It is strongly ironic that the stats argument is dragged on the M1A2T (FOTM) as an example of US players underperforming with their Abrams (and the gap is still falling when compared to dec 2025s M1A2T).
But whenever the F-15A/J/Baz got the slightest breathing room on a single month, the entire chicken coop went on meltdown and complained over a plane which doesn’t really have an offensive game-dictating capability on the current 13.0 meta.
mistake caused by greed if not for the 13.3s FOX-3 slingers none of this would have happened if they didnt under tier them which they did gaijin made this bed we have to deal with it
The issue is one of extremely restrictive loadout ontop of being subsonic. I did a match last week in the FA2, and was fine ish up until I ran out of missiles, and due to being subsonic, you have to get close and I couldnt run away to go re-arm, so I was just dead.
Aim-120 fired from an FA2 is not that far off an F-14A firing Aim-54 imo
