So you think it should just sit where its just undeniably better than everything else FM wise? Hint: better for one vehicle to suck than 20
It has a better engine than most mig 21s as well
Rather, it has a better engine than the 21MF, but worse than every 21bis model, and worse than the 21SMT. This still puts it in the bottom 50% of MiG-21 engines but it’s very good for 10.7

could be 11.0, has better engine than the 10.3 mig21´s and has good missiles compared to them…
J-7D at 10.7 is actually very balance, its missile is almost simillar to the R-60 which easy to flare and it need to be close like 1km for guarenteed hits, and most of J-7D player use boom n zoom tactics that can be countered by climb higher that it, use head-on radar missile, bleed its energy, or just be aware of ur back and pre-flare. and also J-7D can meet the mig-23ML and F-4E when up-tiered that can easily counter the plane and also the F-5 can also counter it by forcing it to dogfight
I seem to be on all your posts before you’re locked. I’m a bad omen.
here before a locked thread. no criticisms of communist vehicles allowed in these parts I’m afraid
21SMT is superior engine wise but I agree with the message overall
in no way are they similar beyond both being 30g and both being rear aspect missiles. The PL-5B is far faster with far more range giving it much better performance than the base R-60 and arguably better performance than the all aspect R-60M.
PL5B are some of the hardest to flare missiles at the BR because of their speed.
things I’m sure every jet has right

No, i think gaijin should stop being lazy and add more BR’s because we have vehicles that sit on the edge of being useless which should not be how we balance things. The difference in performance between 9.0 and 10.0 is pretty insane and it goes up every BR. Expanding and creating a .3 and .7 additional buffer by adding even 2 more BR’s would be huge. Placing vehicles at the edge where they sit on being good in a downtier and worthless in an uptier is poor game balancing.
Next you’re gonna tell me the Mig 23 MLD is fine fighting 10.7 aircraft. Or the A10 with 9M’s HMD is fine doing the same ect ect. Same deal with the F-5’s and the J7D. Decompressing from 9.x and up would be an excellent change and it sucks because the XS and J7D were pushed up to decompress early 10.x 6 months ago and are completely redundant even having that change if they are now gonna be back where they were.
one thing has zero correlation with the other

Not really, but you’d be dumb to say compression isnt the main thing to blame here. Gaijin has shown they rarely make good choices when it comes to balancing.
yeah so idk how to tell you this but even with compression you can just make singular vehicles useless if it means an entire bracket gets to breathe by said vehicle being made useless. Gaijin does this constantly with BR changes if you haven’t noticed, it’s just that they usually make a vehicle useless after its done being overpowered for 2 years+ and being sold as a premium so they can sell the new $70 premium instead of you playing that old dusty useless $60 premium
Oh no i agree but that logic doesn’t always work. We have vehicles that were OP for years then sent to the snail balancing room and other that continue to club the new born seals to this day. But imo the 10.x and 11.x are some of the worst areas for compression because such vital things are added and many just dont get the equipment. Its why we have the J35D at 10.0 in RB and the Mirage 3C at 10.0 despite for years they were separate by. 7 because the J35D had better flight performance and 1 extra missile. Now we have 10.3 vehicles with even more missiles and counter measures. The current difference in performance between 1 BR is pretty ridiculous imo around this BR.
very short list
Depends if we count event vehicles. (Some premium and some arent.) Though id say that list is pretty fairly long.
We don’t.
Do we count removed GE vehicles like the T-V? (Personal favorite of mine)
I would not care about anything not actively making gaijin dollars. The stuff that is event, old, and still OP almost always comes down to them using the backwards statistics they do to balance vehicles and those event vehicles having a low playerbase
Fair, its more than likely why the KV-1E/B will likely never go up. Its makes far too much money for gaijin to want to ruin it with even a .3 increase.
