basically title, i have it but never crewed it after a bunch of testing led me to believe it would perform really poorly against other 8.7 jets (not to mention 9.0 jets proper, oof). Its a fatter 2C with a mediocre engine and loses speed so damn fast, I really dont get what exactly makes it 8.7 worthy, the two Nord missiles, maybe? I dont think moving it down would break 8.3 or make it overpowered since performance matches somewhat closely to the 2C, in fact i believe it would breathe new life into the IVA and make it somewhat decent, and personally i believe folding the 2A, 2C and IVA in the same slot makes more sense than folding the IVA with the Super Mystere.
Anyway im kind of rambling now, so id like to ask this forum how theyd react if gaijin did move the IVA down.
According to Gaijin’s illogical logic, which balances everything with average player skills
Mystere IVA will hit 9.0 soon, while F-86A-5 will hit 7.7.
Look at Vampire at 8.0, which can do nothing to either F-86A or MiG-15 unless they do blunder badly thanks to 7.0BR capable engine thrust. :/
Build a time machine and export Mystere IVA into USA, then come back.
Then maybe it can get some buff after that.

i havent played the vampire, i mostly fly french aircrafts so i cant speak my mind on its BR, however i did fight plenty of mig15s and sabres in the f84g, and im pretty sure the IVA would struggle, even though its a full BR higher. And I still dont understand why the mig and sabre sit so low, theyre two of the most capable jets of their BR and compress 7.7 really badly.
