This post has to be a joke lol.

Note True, they lack only in the speed department. Their flight model is very good.

Speed is not the only factor considered for BR placement. If that’s the case, Mig-23ML for example should be at 13.7. You can’t conveniently ignore the facts that the plane gets a very good radar with HMD, large load-out of 12 missiles (which are VERY good). These have way more impact in top tier rather than the top speed.

SU-34 has R-77s which are widely known as one of the worst ARH missiles, doesn’t get HMD to make effective use of its high G-overload missiles. Flight performance is not desirable as well.

I am 100% convinced that you are just trolling at this point lol.

They should be given the AIM-9Ms and moved to 13.0.

It could be worse, far far worse

ok, MiG-29G has R-73, only 2 radar missiles (6 in total) and 60 flares, but it’s on 13.0, so why F/18C (Early) must be 12.3?

maybe because Su-34 is FRONTLINE BOMBER and never had HMD irl?

read the full post to understand why I said it lol. That statement was intended as a justification to why it sits at 13.3, not whether it should/shouldn’t have those capabilities.

Im really looking forward to the Harrier overhaul, it might be playable after this major update

36

from my tinkering on the dev server you can actually run full throttle without it melting now. It may only be slightly overtiered now instead of disgustingly overtiered

It needs the IR sig improvements and BOL Fixes then it will be fine at 13.0. Though still probably the weakest ARH slinger at that BR by a long way

38

what hornet are we talking about? the 14.0 one?

39

isnt 13.0 the bare minimum BR for AMRAAM and AMRAAM counterparts?

40

F-14A is 12.7. There is an argument to be made that the F-14A is more effective than the Sea Harrier FA2 even though it has AMRAAM.

41

Put the Fa.2 at 12.0 with the new buffs it just got and it would be one of the most dominate planes at 12.0 easy lmao.

42

AIM-54 arent AMRAAMs or AMRAAM counterparts

They are ARH.

Muhaha

45

and? thats not what i said

AMRAAM can actually turn

46

Sustaining 6-7 G and out accelerating the F-15C while slinging AMRAAMs against 3rd gens. Yes please.

47

at low speed maybe

48

F-14A firing 6x Aim-54s more than likely equals Sea Harrier FA2 firing 4x AMRAAM.

Especially when all the other limitations of the FA2 are factored in like no gun or IR missiles with that 4x AMRAAM config.

As I said, there is a reasonable argument for the FA2 to be 12.7 at the moment.

Up until about 500-600 mph lol.
