F104 taf

Why is the F104 TAF at 11.3? This thing is extremely overtiered, it faces F16s, F18s, F20s and other much superior jets often.
This thing is unplayable. From the horrible matchmaker to the aircraft being quite garbage since the recent FM nerf.
How come this thing sits at 11.3 while the J35XS, which turns better, accelerates better and can be treated as equal or even superior in some areas at 10.3??
I mean seriously what were they smoking when deciding to make them an ENTIRE BR BRACKET apart?
This thing needs to get it’s FM nerf reverted and get knocked down to ATLEAST 10.7
