What exactly is the logic behind high tier BR placements for certain jets? Genuinely curious because if we make a comparison of something like the Su-30MKK which is supersonic, has 6 fox-3 missiles, and 4 IRCCM missiles, at 13.3 while an aircraft like the M-346 is a subsonic attacker at 13.0 with a max of 4 A2A missiles including non-IRCCM 9Ls and not even an internal gun.
This is NOT a complaint about the M-346, I love that jet! Just an example of two vehicles—not the only two vehicles that could be used here—that make me curious as to what the rationale among the balancing team was when placing things at top tier like this. I’m sure things like player statistics from premium newbies in Su-30s performing poorly play a role in this case, but I still see no world where the math adds up. Would love if anybody has any insightful answers

Justification is
Su30 will struggle against 14.7
Iriaf will struggle but we dont care
12.3 will still struggle but we dont care^2

Look where it is located in the tree and that will give you a good answer. However it would still be one of the worst 13.7s and Gaijin won’t let a popular premium rot in a BR like that, especially when their statistics say it is performing fine. (aka the players suck so it’s lower than it should be)
Gaijin using only player stats to balance vehicles is a massive issue and leads to incredibly questionable or bad BR choices.
on sale (for Xbox) I got su30mkk and f18c early I’m trash at defense ofc but the su30Mkk still seems easier to grind with even without base bombing and idk if anyone else noticed this but it can reach mach 1.00 while climbing with no afterburner
They might be just using financial reports

f18s still sell more for sum reason and my teams are always trash when I play with the hornet the run to bases they steal bases they steal my kills they die they leave me to to die and I’m stuck with aim7Ps against a SU30
Considering both premium su30s are top 1 and top 2 by number of battles of all planes in game, I think thats not the case. All hornets combined barely match amount of games played on su30mk2 alone (around 1.7m games). Add to that 1.1 games from mkk and it will be 2.8m games for both su30s, hornets arent even close to that.

Imagine that, people know how busted it is to hop in an su30 and spam RVVs or R77s against SARH BRs and 3rd gens and choose to abuse it!

check the Gaijin store then
According to store sorting puma and f14 are best sellers. According to same store people buy a10a and bison more often. And somehow people buy m60 pack more often than t80ue (most played tank monthly). That makes no sense to me at all. Besides that it doesnt specify time periods nor numbers.
it doesn’t show console numbers but those are the numbers and su30s aren’t even top 3 and its probably best sellers within a week or month
Su-30 is a premium and sells well, which is why Gaijin refuse to acknowledge it’s egregious BR
F-14A IRIAF should not be uptiered to 13.7, it’s at top tier and doesn’t get ARMAAMS so can’t compete.
