A jet that didn’t has countermeasure, fly slightly over sonic, didn’t got any armament if you want to bring the bomb got higher BR then something like Su-17M2, F-1 or Nesher?! How is this decision made?
First off all, This is a Strike Aircraft, it has the RB75T. And you can sacrifice your guns for Countermeasurs, and it has the RB24J, very fine for its Br, and its fast hell (2.4M). Its fine, you use this for CAS only, and you do not grind with this at all for other planes. The same thing for AJS37.

It still not deserve 10.3, at the same BR you got the Super Etendard and Mirage SBA that is better then you in every aspect other then the missile
is barely supersonic and is non afterburning
the missile is a very important aspect at 10.3 where you can frequently fight aircraft without flares

Missile is important at 10.3 few years ago, now there are tons of aim-9l, aim-9p4, r60mk that flying all over this br, and thanks to the devs full downtier is almost impossible so you won’t face someone that still using aim-9b. Moreover, the j/p variant is not that good if we compared with the d/g variant, at least those variant can sneak kill someone from 5km
notably they are all on subsonic planes at 10.3
just not true

It’s not terrible, just run one gunpod with a CM pod and two missiles.
You can fly high and have plenty of chaff but don’t get into turn fights unless you know you won’t get ganged up on and don’t over extend. It’s a solid vehicle for Ground RB personally and a mix of Air RB. If you’ve been grinding Swedens TT to this point you should be more aware that they require more braincells than your average jet to play them efficiently.
“Supersonic” with CMs. It’s kinda… Stuck.
Should be lower, but I don’t think it can at the moment.
That entire bracket is compressed to hell and a lot suffers because of it
Countermeasure is important at 10.3
Compression indeed, won’t make it anywhere lower.
10.x is just super compressed
2 x aim9J, 1 x 30mm and 1 x 24/340 CM pod for air to air
Not ideal, but its a Viggen and can outrun almost everything at the BR (especially in a downtier)
Its also a CAS aircraft, relying on Ground battles you can take 2 mavericks, which is great for the BR
Its an awkward one to balance, because at 10.0 it would be really hard to kill in a downtier due to its speed + countermeasures
Eh, can’t say it’s a Viggen, it’s part Viggen, it’s slower on the deck in top speed and acceleration than the JA37 as this is accurate to Del 3. Anyone with a brain will catch the Viggen if they slightly increase alt while going faster than the Viggen which also gives them extra energy via height
At least I played 10+ match all having uptiered
Already learn the lesson in JA37
Isn’t this just another way to said this plane is bad?
were they all full uptiers to 11.3?
not really, just means you cant get away with having dumb luck
Why does this matter?
why would it not? how much of an uptier or downtier always matters, it determines if youre in a game of 9.3s-10.3s, 9.7-10.7, 10.0-11.0, 10.3-11.3, only one of these is really an uptier
The fastest low altitude aircraft in the game with 24 flares and 2 AIM-9Js.
It’s at least as good as F-5C/A.
Super Etendard is obviously worse.

Nah, it’s alright but it needs a specific playstyle to utilize
