So, GAIJIN decided to downgrade the basic F-15s from the game to 12.7.
F-15A with 4xAIM-9M (Strong flare resistance and mid range IRCCM missile)
F-15J with 4xAAM-3 (According to some people this is the best IRCCM missile and overcomes every other IRCCM missile in the game)
F-15 BAZ 4xAIM-9M / 4xPython 3 (I don’t know how Python 3 performs)
So the issue is here again, Wouldn’t it be fair that MiG-29A (9-13) gets its historial payload?
6xR-73
4xR-73, 2xR-27R/T
I no longer see any balance isssue since it is a buff and a nerf at same time.
We already have the F-16A OCU at 12.7 with 6xAIM-9M and now we will get the F-15s with 4xAIM-9M/AAM-3/Python 3 + 4xAIM-7M.
Because some people say R-73 is bad for mid ranges only good for short ranges and dogfight; So GAIJIN MUST give to the MiG-29A (9-13) its deserved payload and stay at 12.7
It could get R-73s and R-27ERs and still not be the best 12.7 if these BR changes go through as is, but I’d much rather it lose the ERs and have the F-15s stay 13.0
The only reason that the F-15’s are going to 12.7 is the players. (As far as I’m aware) The only reason for Gaijin to lower their BR is because the people playing it (or the majority of them) play badly with them making the vehicles stats seem bad even if the vehicle itself is actually very good.
it is good, but it is facing planes that has better ordnance but more importat better radar, since F-15A does not have HMS and TWS it makes it hard to properly use the AIM-7Ms; but GAIJIN should had decompress top tier now that they created the 14.7 BR instead of lowering its BR to 12.7, they are only making worse now for 11.7 and 12.0.
They decompressing but compressing the BR even more. So, when update is released is gonna be a mess and they had solve nothing but making it worse.
Most likely the problem F-15A has, it’s the premium Su-30s at 13.3 .
But instead them uptiering the premium Su-30s to 13,7 with the top BR extension to 14,7 … they prefered to downtier the 15A.
Then those premiums…conveniently won’t face top end planes like Su-30SM2 , Rafales, EFTs …
But then you can’t have a no-ARH missiles planes , with a mid-SARH ( No R-27ER or even AIM-7MH - C&P the 7P, it won’t be the first missile that is wrong…) at 13,0, just a step lower. In theory Su-27 at 13,0 can play the R-27ER game against them , before they get to R-77 good range.
So, instead they pull down 15A , because it will just be unplayable … now at least it will bully…11,7s.
Problem solved. Everyone happy.
The basic problem is to understand GJ , you must not think as a gamer… but as a producer/ seller.
Most of us try …correctly to think logical causes , by gameplay…
yes…no…
People won’t buy when they’ll meet something that will possibly outclass them. They will buy to dominate the matches (because let’s face it, not only lvl 10s buy those premiums).
How about bringing the Su-27 down to 12.7 to counter the F-15? Instead of letting American users grind easily or we can get the Mig-29 (9-13) get it R-73.
