most of the 12.3 premium aircraft are becoming useless,as the devs add ,way more aircrafts with more advanced technologies on lower br´s where most of the aircrafts are from the post-cold war era ,literally a su30sm is fighting a F20A tigershark with continents ahead of technology ahead of the inprecise aim7F or the early radars without direct link or early TWS search modes,where some planes dont get more than AIM9L missiles to fight against su30sm´s spamming missiles from 40km away ,12.3 is no longer playable on premium aircrafts like f20A ,tornado or mirage thats this devs keep selling what´s the point of keeping an useless aircraft,this jets are simply obsolete because of the devs poor managment
thats not how this works bro

Where are you seeing an Su-30sm in an F-20?, and besides, nothing guarantees the vehicle you buy, regardless if its an F-20, mig-23, Su-30mk2/mkk or an F-18 guarantees it’ll stay meta, or the best choice for a premium, or avoid Br compression.

You bought a mediocre plane and found out the hard way that it’s mediocre?
Your fault for doing this, not the game’s.
Can’t refund it anymore
Do your research first

You should see what they did to the Italian m60.
People bought it with a stab, they removed the stab but lowered its BR in return.
But now, it’s basically back to its old BR with no stab fighting the same vehicles it was lowered away from originally.

probably meant the premiums they get confused pretty often(mostly the sm2, sm is new)
Its anything but mediocre.
That statement is false.
Yeah… but… the Su-30 is perfectly balanced because it fights itself so often.

What the snail, did u think i did,i bought it in 2024 ,It wasn’t mediocre; for its time, it was one of the best planes despite only having 45 cm,the problem is not that they add more into the game, The problem is that these devs aren’t the least bit interested in fixing what they break. Thanks to the people who pointed out the SU-30SM issue; actually, it’s the MK.But the point is that this matchmaking in BR 12.3 through 13.3 is a joke. Why don’t they just decompress the damn game?Because all they care about is money. I know they have to sell, but they should do things right. Everything has gone from bad to worse; even in 2024 the game was still somewhat decent, even when I started playing on PC it was
It’s absolutely mediocre
Mediocre missile kit
Mediocre airframe
Mediocre defensive kit
Only good thing it has is the radar

Why would gaijin return something you bought in 2024
Would you expect a clothing store to accept refunds for used clothes you bought two years ago?
No
Same thing with digital items

F-20A was and will always be a mediocre aircraft for 12.3,… any F/A-18A or F-16A beats it in pure maneuvering, max speed and acceleration.
so,… telling us the F-20A (that came way after the F-16A) was not a mediocre aircraft in 2024 is pure blunt
just take it easy from the game, come back when you’ll have mind and time to think about how to use it properly.

4 Aim-9L+ Aim-7F is far from mediocre.
One of the best airframe at 12.3.
Same as F-16A which is more than enough.
Its far from mediocre.
F-16A? Yeah
F-18? Not so much.
It has higher acceleration and better top speed and energy retention than F-18A, the only thing F-18A good at is the energy burn and amount of missiles.
Also these two aircraft’s aren’t only 12.3’s in game.
Your claims are wrong.
One long range missile and then 4 non-irccm IRs?
That’s a very mediocre load out lol.
It’s an F-5 airframe.
Same cm setup as 16A while having a worse rwr.
It’s pretty mediocre
The F-20 is just a side grade/downgrade from the F-16A, which is already mid

Do you expect R27ER’s and AAM-3’s at 12.3?
Lmao.
It a heavily modified F5 airframe that outperforms almost anything at its br.
While RWR doesn’t specify which exact vehicle targets you, it still gives you radar lock,launch warning which is more than enough.
Sounds like you expect 14.0 performance at 12.3.
Get back to real world.
He is right, the F-20A is subpar at 12.3.
It gets mauled by half the jets at 12.3, and I said half mainly because there is a bunch of tornados there lol.
