I have a very genuine question for the Devs, Management & all the representatives of Gaijin Entertainment especially War Thunder.
Why do i have to Face the ARH meta in my newly unlocked F-16AJ ? Why ?
How does is stand a fair chance to even sustain a fight in the first place when it doesn’t even get a decent SARH, IR missiles or even the quantity of counter measures ?
Is the Air frame is everything in the AIR RB battle mode to fight against aircradt that carry ARH, IRCCM IR missiles and about everything better than F-16AJ ?
How long will Gaijin keep this doing ? I need genuine and serious answers only as I have invested my hard earned money in this game.

it’s 13.0 in sim btw
higher br than the F-15J that gets two more sparrows, and 4 AAM-3s
at the same br as the F-2 that has the same loadout as the F-15J on one of the best airframes in the game and an AESA radar

Going to correct you there, it doesn’t only get two more sparrows but its sparrows (7M) are better than the F-16AJ’s (7F).
Then you take a look at the Malaysian Su-30MKM and the premium Su-30MK2 and it stands at a full BR above because its Fox-3 missiles have 120km launch range instead of 80km (Nobody launches farther than 40km anyway).

the difference is marginal iirc

It’s a verrrry minor seeker improvement ingame, hardly noticeable. There literally no point in pointing it out at all tbf.
It’s just yet another, even if minor, thing on which the F-15J outclasses the F-16AJ while being at the same BR.
the F-15As should go back to 13.0 and the ARH planes should go up in BR to at least 14.0 (Of course top BR must be increased to accomodate that decompression). Fox-2 only planes should only see Fox-3 planes at a full uptier at worst.

also, there are people who want the F-2 to be the same br as the F-16AJ
yeah…
Can f16aj get the aam3? Its really lacking at 12.7 when the f15j has 4 aam3 and 4 sparrows while the f16 only has 4 spots for aam3 + 2 sparrows
Sea Harrier FA.2 and J-8F and F-4F KWS need to be 14.0 to you? Or a higher BR than the Su-27 or Su-33?
F-15J shouldn’t be 12.7 anyways
Sorry I meant ARH planes that people use.
Such as? And how does your BR system work? Fox3s start at 14.0 now?
Not going to argue with someone that approaches this discussion in bad faith.
I wasn’t. I asked you a direct question
A question would be “what about ARH brick planes?” which the answer would already be at “(Of course top BR must be increased to accomodate that decompression)” which you cut out.
What looks like you did was akin to:
“I think children shouldn’t be mauled by dogs”
“So you want to euthanise chihuahuas??”
I know it might not have been the intention but it sounded very combative. If it wasn’t very clear I’m saying 12.0 to 13.0 is for the most part fine in BR balance wise (with the exception of the recently lowered F-15A which should’ve stayed at 13.0) the problem is everything above specially the new premium Su-30s.
There’s lots of problem planes. F-18A and F-18C Early are too good for their BRs. F-15 as you mentioned is now undertiered. If I’m hearing right the MiG-29 just got nerfed and was already bad so this is making a problem even worse and distancing it from the better 12.3-12.7s. There’s also the 12.7 F-16s now with IRCCM. They still have a lot of fixes that need to be made.
then what does the new 13.0-14.0 bracket look like, what goes where
Without looking at all vehicles there I’d say 13.0 could be the ceilling for either good flight model but no ARH or bricks with ARH, 14.0 should have planes with good flight model + ARH but lesser count then 15+ you have the good flight model with lots of missiles with maybe 16.0 having all of that + AESA.
That’s just considering the near top tier, if we start looking at compression on earlier ranks then top br could easily be over 18.0 already.
So basically current 13.7 BR goes to 14.0 and 12.7-13.3 stretches to 12.7-13.7?
