Well, as everyone knows, the Kurnass 2000 is at 12.3, but it is a somewhat meaningless Battle rating for this plane… why? simple, you have 6 All aspect missiles (AIM-9L and Python 3), 90 countermeasures (plus an additional 200) fact, but you don’t receive any SARH missiles, I even understand that 6 missiles are a big deal, but in a BR where the majority of aircraft simply have more than 100 Flares (those that have fewer are generally of large caliber), which kind of ends up canceling out the advantage of having 6 missiles, and we agree, the performance of the Python 3 in terms of seeker is disappointing… remembering the The aircraft is excellent, but the BR ends up making the plane almost unplayable, mainly due to the fact that you need to get close to the enemy. What I want to propose is, if the aircraft is going to stay in 12.3, give at least the AIM-7E2 or AIM-7F that it “Could” carry, and before they come with “It never carried those missiles or the radar was not compatible with this missile”, the game’s Mirage 2000C radar is not compatible with the S-530F, the F-14A’s AWG-9, the IRIAF is not compatible with the R-27R, and the F-16C (USAF) has never seen AIM-7M in its operational life, so it’s more than fair to give this aircraft a “breath of breath”, remembering that it is one of many that are in a very miserable BR… anyone who wants to correct something, feel free.

Yes, it should be 11.7-12.0. On the same 12.3 sits EJ Kai which is better than Kurnass in ARB, 1 step above is F-16A which is better in every way possible. And I’m not even mentioning that you often will face top tier jets with IRCCM missiles and even FOX-3.

At the end of the day it’s still a phantom, and one without any radar missiles at that.
It should NOT be 12.3
It belongs at 12.0 easily, since al it has is a slightly better flight model while also having better acceleration IR missiles (cough Python 3 with Aim-9L copy paste seeker cough). And no the 10G extra pull does not make a difference ingame, as it accelerates so fast it has the same turning circle as the Aim-9L essentially, just shorter time to target.
