This should get moved to 9.0
MiG-19S is at 9.0, and this is the closest analogue

and so far the AIM-54 has been buffed and the R-77 has not. And the AIM-54 received far more extensive buffs then the variable motor thrust pressure that is planed for other missiles, which is not a straight buff as it also means it will reduce thrust at lower altitude.
So like I said, people are inventing a R-77 buff that dose not exist in order to complain about it.
If I am wrong and there is a R-77 buff then please link it, because I have been unable to find and would like to see it.
They added it cause there’s a noticeable BR gap between the F-80 and the F-104, YET IT’S AT THE SAME BR AS THE F-104. Absolutely peak Gajin moment.

Not if it had the Genie …
Did they ask for the all gun only version at BR 9.3? Really this is gaslighting
We r not getting the Genie tho
Be real here
But how cool would that be ?

Good thing I’ve always preferred hard mode
Once again, War Thunder adding a useless vehicle that does not change the game in any way or make it anymore fun.
They nerfed F104A now A & C are 9.7 BR, hey that’s fair right? (not) 😑🐌

Hey, then that means there’s still a BR gap, where you could put another plane in. I would actually like an Aim-4 only F-101 variant at a lower BR. Go up, have someone stall for you, and when they can’t maneuver, hit em with either type of Aim-4. I did this plenty of times in the F-106.
It would take them 5 minutes to make such a copy paste variant.
It’s 9.3 buddy

The Aim-4s have really good high speed G pull, so if your target only pulls up and doesn’t roll, it’s fairly consistent. I think it would be better than people think it will due to the slower planes it would face if it were 9.0 or 8.7.
whys it got -1 FPS bro

Though the AIM4 has small turn radius and better maneuver capability than AIM9B&AIM9E，it still has a very short range，as short as half of the range of AIM9B. It is very fatal.
F101C with only guns is very hard to fight with higher BR fighers. Though it has powerful high speed maneuver capability and Acceleration, it is not enough. At least the F101C need AIM9Bs. As for the F101B, it is hard to balance, but I truly hope it will be added into game. Maybe it will get 9.0 with 4 AIM4 or 9.3 with 6 AIM4.
Maybe we can squezee some F-94 starfire variants in there? or XF-87s?
