Yellow score means that the player is close to being useless in battle, just like as a third of the war thunder players that only know how to take off (sometimes) and shoot headons.
Someone with a rating like this on any plane shouldnt say if it is overtiered or undertiered
Game is very complex with so many variables most players seem hyperfixated on thier aircraft of choice than to look at the bigger picture of everything around it.
Rest of comment is general reply to thread. Just didnt make a second comment
If you look at KD for past month on stat shark in the range of 9.7-11.7.
J7E 11.3 is top dog with 1.6KD( even changing range from 10.3-12.3 J7E is number 1) then to J7D 10.7 at 7th with 1.34 next highest premiums are T2 Early with 1.16 and J35XS at 1.08.
Being a premium gives access to more players and the stats show the average player is doing very well in it. I check the stats of most J7D players i encounter in random battles and on average it is the plane they do the best with.
J7D has more A2A loadout options and A2G plus 140 more rnds of cannon ammo over the J7E.
I dont think the J7E needs to move and performs perfectly fine at 11.3 but the J7D should be 11.0. Similar kits J7E with the double delta holding energy better should be 0.3 above the J7D.
J7D would not suffer at 11.0!
I dont see many posts with outrage about dropping the J7E down in br for reasons people have listed above no radar missles or napalm etc
Actual dogshit take , A2G armament got nothing to do with the jet performance in A2A combat. How desperate a person must be to use this , it is like saying EF/Rafael got good A2G armament meaning they have piss poor air performance. Who would have thought , when jet play in their main role they thrive ???
Man, I really hate this forum and Gaijin’s approaches about balancing planes.
Especially when I see ridiculous claims like ‘J-7D can’t be 11.0 because it doesn’t have napalm’
Everyone knows, even Anton might know that bombing capability can affect nothing about winning 11.0BR+ match in ARB.
Because the current ARB system is somewhat similar to a fighter-heaven-like TDM.
And there is no airfield destruction victory, or winning by ticket from ground targets is having low chance.
Then, why should J-7D be 10.7, because it can’t carry any worthwhile bombs
While Tornado IDS(with targeting pods) need to be 11.7 because it can carry the worthless guided bomb.
When J-7D can easily eat Tornado IDS alive and contribute a victory way superior?
(I picked tonka for example, because of nothing but personal preference. you can put any strike aircraft which can do nothing but a half-baked fighter jet in this mode in this place. MiG-27 or Su-24… and some others)
Man, blaming the non-extensiveness of napalm for keeping J-7D to 10.7BR is one of the most ridiculous takes if we consider both the current status of ARB and strike aircraft coutnerparts.
I know it is bait but i just can’t ignore it :/
It really should be reverted to 11.0.
even if we just consider nothing but the total amount of PL-8, which they can compare to the 10.7 counterparts.
“But J-7D don’t have any radar missiles and napalm”
[Me laughing in Tonka which also has none of the radar missile and napalm but has 1.0 higher BR]
Idk if you are joking or not ngl, but this might sound crazy; i played those 11 games 4 years ago, never touched it again, may just do it now to get up that rating)))
