Just finished spading the F.6 and this whoa this thing is a struggle bus…how is it still at 10.0? Oh and I cant tell you how many times I took Mig-25 fox-1’s to the face in full up teirs near the start of the match, really engaging gameplay (and jump scare) . Would love to revisit if 9.7.

What situation could you possible be in for MiG-25s to be such a concern?

I don’t understand, In a full up tier I see Mig-25s all the time. No RwR on the Hunter coupled with the crappy spotting mechanic you essentially get no warning you are in danger whey they are launching their SARH Missiles at you.
I would love to but I was grinding the research bonuses to unlock the Phantom.

Suffer faster.
it happens to be another plane with awful relative performance but at the same time has bonkers missiles. unfortunate on both ends that it sucks to fly, and has a free kill button which ruins everything else
Same with the hunter f.58, only it gets better ground pounding capabilities
Eh… it at least gets flares and even an RWR.
Britain Tax.
If we imported the Hunter F.6 with SRAAM directly into the US/GER/USSR. It might have stayed 9.7 /j

9.7? For the US/USSR?
Probably be more like 9.3

Britain tax doesn’t seem to apply to the sea vixen
A-7D at 10.3:
A-7D shares the problem of unusual vehicles in strange positions.
Something like a US jet which pays british tax.
A-7D is an awful jet in Air RB, as much as other strike jets are, so not many people play those.
Then average stats don’t get doomed, so Gaijin just doesn’t care.
Shame the A-7D didn’t get famous in War Thunder since it cannot abuse the AIM-9L to get ‘free kills from flareless jets’, just like how A-10A does. :/

It was a potent plane but like was it really that good to be same rating as j35 and mirage that are way faster? J35 also has 4 missiles which sure are worse but the plane is way faster especially once you get some altitude like 5km
Once again this rating specifically needs massively split up but it’ll never happen
How is that a valid solution?
If a vehicle is so outclassed that it is unusable then something needs to change, doesn’t matter which vehicle we are discussing.
Yeah well you see the thing is that won’t happen.
There are only two ways BRs get changed. Gaijins “efficiency” statistics say it’s doing too well or badly or if there is massive community outcry.
Latter isn’t going to happen over a hunter F6, former who knows but unlikely.
Most the people who still play things like the F6 have sunk so much time into it that they can make it work.
