I Think the F16a block 10 and 15 should be at 11.3

Still, where are its R-13s(and more importantly, AIM-4s)

No one denies its bad, but solution isnt to move planes like JAS39A and belgian/US IR only F-16s to BR where those planes would absolutely curbstomp the everliving hell in a downtier.

We already had that with pre-seek and destroy JAS39A and no one but them had fun.

I agree that moving it down won’t solve the problem

But I think most reasonable people will admit that IR only vs ARH isn’t balanced or fun.

So Gaijin should do further decompression or change how the matchmaker works so that it isn’t possible for non-ARH jets to match against ARH jets.

OPs point about moving it to 11.3 is silly and everyone got distracted by it. The fact remains that jets like the F-16A with IR only are in a difficult balancing spot.

The F-16A(France) is 13.3 and that makes it useless because you can just grind out the F-16AM and get the same airframe with a better load out at 13.7.
Gaijin has made the F-16A absolutely not worth playing, which is a shame.

Agree.

Agree.

Disagree.

At some point players need to actually start learning how to fight against them. I personally would like to see this introduction to happen by legacy platforms such as Tornadoes, KWS and J-8, ie. Planes that have ARHs but dont have the flight performance to boot.

Alas thats not the case.

However, as it was suggested in the other thread:

@Bike_Stunts

Honestly I think the best fix to balance the two would be to remove markers from AirRB. If you could actually sneak around you could make all-IR loadouts viable.

It would be rather elegant fix, and in the future it will much needed one once the game inevitably arrives at stealth planes.

I just unlocked the belgian one. Absolutely unplayable. Worst time I ever had in AirRB.
It shouldn’t be anywhere near Fox3 BR. 15 games, zero kills. Probably the only plane I will never spade, unless it goes down in BR.
