Glad you’re not in charge of Balancing then, otherwise the F-15E would be 10.0 because it doesn’t have Napalm

That’s how gaijin would balance a plane, not me. It’s the reason half of the starfighters are overtiered.
6 AIM 9Js don’t exactly mean anything. It’s still a fuel hungry jet that bleeds speed by looking left, with terrible missiles
That’s all delta wings. Every time I drop the bombs at the base, turn around, I literally get machine gunned by F-5s because they can turn at 1000kph and mine doesn’t.
More missiles mean more chance one of them will result in a kill, especially at higher tier where planes have way more flares and crew skill points
If you don’t bomb, you don’t need to do sharp turns, which will blow your speed at all.
when you know you are playing delta, and it’s weakness.
Why do you expose its weakness even wider?
Nothing wrong with doing it on a strike plane
Kfir canard is a re engined mirage 5, a specifically designed strike plane
Also, turning reduces chance I can be killed by a IRCCM
Yes. Kfir canard is re-engined Nesher. Still, it isn’t solely built strike aircraft, but ‘multirole-fighter’ just like earlier variants of F-4 does.
If you claim that Kfir is strike aircraft because it is refitted nesher.
Then, does Tornado ADV need to be considered as strike aircraft too, as long as it is based on Tornado IDS?
Your standards about ‘strike aircraft’ are too wide.
In your terms in this thread, which you brought for claiming Kfir as strike aircraft.
You shouldn’t defend yourself in bombing F-15E ‘because gaijin classified it as strike aircraft’ before as long as F-15E is developed from F-15 which was air-dominance fighter.
I am well aware that Gaijin’s classification is iffy, and there are some jets that are classified incorrectly.
But I don’t think Kfir need to be reclassified as an attacker, unlike Nesher, Mirage V, and MiG-27.
AFAIK, Kfir were IDF’s first line and backbone fighter jet before they bought F-15/16.

Well it depends. Have the kfir canard, based from its strike plane origin (Nesher), be re classified as anything else? The ADV is obviously a interceptor/fighter because it’s lost the ability for ground attack weaponry and is officially reclassified as such.
I meant you shouldn’t defend yourself bombing in Kfir
- Because it is historically developed from nesher, which was strike aircraft
- while Gaijin classified it as a jet fighter.
- and IDF used it as their best fighter jet before they bought F-15.
When you defend yourself bombing in F-15E
- Because Gaijin classified it as strike aircraft
- While it was historically developed from F-15, which was an air dominance fighter.
at the same time.
I am not attacking ‘bombing’ itself but critiquing your double standard.

Why do you bomb in a J-7D, F-16A, F-15J, and EFT when it was designed as a fighter

Easiest way to grind. Simple as. Not everyone wants to grind by fighting.
I’d like to make a disclaimer that I am not against bombing per se. Tiger tank 1 is just a massive hypocrite because they measure performance on whether an aircraft can kill a base or not. To the point where they would rather call the F-16A overtiered becaus eit can’t bomb better

yes and no on the strike aircraft comment. the Kfir was classified as a fighter until the C.7 (i think) which became a strike craft due to the f16, f15 took over that role
You could have complained about: its low countermeasure amount, the lack of radar or the chitty rwr or even the fact that it faces 12.0s very often, but you decide to complain about the 2 9Gs?.. damn
bro thinks napalm isworth being a balancing factor.

As a joke, I want to see it become a balanced factor and Tonka gets some shameless buff :P
Honestly, I just can’t get why he is obsessed too much about the bombing capability of ‘fighter jets’…
Well, bombing capability can be a good extra feature when using it for mindless grinding
But unlike strike aircraft, fighters also can grind well via A2A dogfight… :|

Brimstone at 10.7 with its actual capability and not agm65 with braindamage would be pretty good but I firmly think any of that guys opinions on aircraft are to be discarded due to his inability to PTFO over farming lazy xp from bomber bases

Mig 29 should be 10.3 because it gets R-60m’s

Eurofighter should be 3.3 because it has a radar.
