It depends. Say the bombcat might as well be 12.7, easily.
All the advanced ARH carriers are currently taboo’d to be any less than 13.0, so no chances there regardless of what we here say, even if its as bad as the viggen.
29G - many would argue 29 9-12 shoud get R73’s, thus basically becoming a 29G at 12.7.
ADTW and gripen - seem to be doing significantly better than 15A’s as they are today, so those are absolutely not №1 candidates in moving down because of that alone.
There was an F-15A that just got its engines swapped out and equipped with AIM-120As, and its performance rating shot up to 13.7.
It was called the Baz Meshupar. No HMD, no TWS, no DL channel.It only had AIM-120s.
It’s just a regular F-15C now, though.
So I don’t think you can say there’s no basis for it.
Most likely yes.
On the other hand…It’s not that they don’t have IRCCM already and better SARHs etc.
For the F-15A if you give only 9L instead of M? Not really .
The game is too compressed.
It’s a bad change…but comes because the game is too compressed anyway. It will affect practically 11.7s, 12.0 and above already play against it.
And with GJs mind, they practically hit MiG 23MLs , that were in favorable BR in comparison…turning the buyers (new grinders/event farmers) to 13.3 premium Su-30 instead.
Not MiG-17. MiG 17F with AB and missiles. And they will give it BR 9.0 same as MiG 17AS without AB and missiles.
Most people say take R-27ERs it never had and give it R-73s it had.
Changes went live, all the early F-15s moved down as they said they would, and they kept their Aim-9Ms. The F-15J kept its AAM3s as well.
GG Gaijin, 12.7 is officially cooked. You better hope your team has the F-15Js on it.
