F-84F has no business being BR 8.3

I guess they just forgot mentioning the report

Thanks for providing the bug report.

Sooo…

Unlike Pangolin’s claim, it seems it had proof.
Now I am googling to find and read the tech manual.

Sooo, yeah.

Again, Thanks for providing that bug report link.

since you peeps seem to be done with derailing the thread.

still waiting for a logical reason here gaijin, what was your throught process with this BR for the F-84F’s?
if there even was any and it wasnt just your almighty algorithm dictating this nonsense BR once again without any human looking over it…

Maybe

1-Back in the day when every F-84F were rank 5, and F-86A-5 were 8.3BR
2- both has 6x 50cal, similar design
3- F-84F has the advantage of strike aircraft airspawn, nets better average reward from match
(That is why Tornado GR.1 has same goddamn BR with MiG-23ML)
4-While has inferior dogfighting capability

5- So maybe Gaijin thought both were fine to keep it in 8.3BR

And yeah, they shamelessly buffed F-86 gangs because of supersonic interceptors
and completely forgot F-84F after removing airspawns of exported variants.

Because Gaijin hates strike aircrafts and bombers.
I still remember when Stona told us why they can’t buff Tornado GR.1.

And F-84F is also in the [dispose-required] list.
