I actually would have thought you’d lower more BR in air RB for planes that supposedly are at their BR for their performance as CAS in ground RB.
But then I don’t really play ground RB at all and air RB only rarely.

OK, lowering F16’s, that’s intresting, and seriously why ?
A-10’s going up… should stick on 10.3 both normal and premium version.
sm3 on 12.7 in ground , it was certain that it would happen.
But what is most annoying in this news, is that there’s no actual change on these slow strikers on Air games. Thing why people actually wanted that planes have different br on air and ground games. there’s no place on those slow strikers on air games.
But finally nice to see those low br orbital cancers got moved up. Q5, F4, TRAM etc etc.

Also has mid flight performance and J’s are lackluster for defense at that br with its sub par flight performance imo
The thing is, the F-5E is now at 11.0, which used to be 10.7, and generally was just a better AJS37 with the ability to multi-role on a whim. (Could carry 4x AGM-65Bs with 2x Aim-9Js, flares, and guns)
The AJS37 has similar flight performance to the JA37, which is at 11.0. At 11.0, it’s kinda mediocre, but at 10.7 (and especially at 10.3), it’s actually not too bad (if not one of the better frames, other than the extremely undertiered fighters, like the MiG-21BIS (which is at 10.3 for some reason)).
It can act as a fighter initially, with 2x Aim-9Js and 2x Aim-9Ls, and then turn into a ground-pounder, with 2x Aim-9Js, 3x AGM-65As, and a flare pod (just in case). The AGM-65As are abysmal at 10.7, so I think it would be better to run one of them, and two bullpups (that have 8km max range, proximity fuze, max speed of mach 1.2 instead of mach 0.9, and decent explosive filler), and guide them in via optical seeker of the maverick.
This take more effort and skill than the F-5E with funny 4x AGM-65Bs, but that is why the AJS37 is 10.7 and not 11.0, despite it being able to carry 2x Aim-9Ls and 2x Aim-9Js.
Never really bothered with the F5E when i had the A7E which imo was and in some cases is still stoinked. Also idk why but agm 65 a arent much different from B and yet ive had so many moments where at the last second they turn and miss a staionary target.
The AGM65As and AGM65Bs are more different than ever before. The AGM65As can really only lock a moving target from 2km/3km, where as the AGM-65Bs can lock on and track, mostly reliably, from up to ~6km to ~7km, but in this video it shows that 8km is possible too.
I originally thought that Gaijin’s adjustments were aimed at alleviating the issue of attack aircraft having excessively high BRs in ARB, but clearly, Gaijin does not think so. Look at the A-7D and A-7E; they are far inferior to the Hunter F58 in air combat, yet their BR in ARB is 0.7 higher. Similarly, aircraft like the Buccaneer, Jaguar, and MiG-27 are facing the same issue. Even more absurdly, Gaijin considers it reasonable for the MiG-21 SMT, MiG-21 MF, and MiG-21 BIS to share the same BR in GRB. On the contrary, the Sea Harrier FRS1, which also lacks LGB, has not seen any changes to its BR in GRB.

As for why the Q-5L’s Air RB BR is not aligned with the early Q-5, which also lacks chaff and flares, but instead is the same as the Q-5A, I hope it’s because Gaijin decided to add chaff and flares to the Q-5L, rather than because Gaijin overlooked the fact that the Q-5L is inferior to the Q-5A.

Way to achieve the absolute opposite of why this change had been requested. Instead of making attackers more viable and accounting for all-aspect missiles, just shaft them in the one singular mode they are made for. AMX at 11.0, what are you smoking? What is even the point? Why do you adhere to the principle of not looking at lineups? It clearly makes no sense for an attacker!

I clearly don’t understand people who is upset by giving F-16 lower BR telling that jets have mavericks. Guys ,are you okay? I don’t have researched 7 Rank of aviation but I saw and see how players on mavericks complain that they cost too much but have no damage at all.
Second. Giving A6-E Intruder and A10-A 10.7 push them to play against Pancir because in WT vehicles don’t play on own BR, why people who spent their money on Thunderbolt and Intruder don’t stand for their money, why developers only fixing those jets, why premium and not premium Su25’s never have gotten increasimg BR, they continue destroying 9.3. I think it’s not fair and awful.
*More than 8km ;)
The Ayit moving up is a no-brainer as that thing in a downtier is straight out cheating. Maybe 9.7 would do the trick, but it might be okay at 10.0. Now the Israeli A-4 Early (M) moving a whole 1.0 BR up is a bad move. It’s not fair, also. 9.3 is where it belongs

R-73s do not belong at 11.0

The SU-25BM is at 11.0 with r73s and its the exact same as the rest of the su-25s with r73s, its a subsonic flying brick at 11.0, if you die to it im calling skill issue.

This already happens in game, people are fighting things with better flight performance and all aspects like the mig 21bis which you guessed it sits at 11.0, so it doesn’t matter if the more modern su-25s get brought to 11.0.
Concerning its ARB Br is dropping to 9.3 I don’t think so.
These changes are great. Love to see the A7’s being moved down in air RB. I don’t know why people are complaining. There seems like there are a lot of really good balance changes. Sense you moved the one Su-22 to 12.7 does that mean an increase in ground BR? It is good to see a lot of these planes go up and down in BR for there ground battles. Especially the British ones sense they got a lot of guided weapons at 10.3, but hopefully at 10.7 they will be a little more balanced. Great work keep it up!!!
well, does it actually matter, if you got no flares on 10/10.3 on full uptier, is that missile r60, 9L or r73. That R73 is last what you face , since that SU is last on battlefield anyway :D
Not to mention, how much it actually loses momentum, since it’s launched below mach 1 and no hmd.

There is a dramatic difference between the R-60M and the R-73…
