Why is the L39’s FM so horrible? It is almost the worst jet plane I have ever flown; even some players still complain about its CCIP and Zuni rockets. I 100% sure that without CCIP and Zuni rockets, it should be 5.7 or even lower. Even with this modern equipment, it is still not worth 7.3, especially when I try to take off from the airfield, the top speed never exceeds 500km/h when I take 4 Zuni pods. Does Gaijin really know what they did for L39? Generally, it is worse than HE162, whatever the acceleration or the turn rate.
L-39’s FM is pretty sucky, but its in a weird spot. It’ll always be horrible to balance because it has a disastrous FM but insanely good ground armament (16x Zunis w/ CCIP uncontested from AAs, pretty much a free 8x kills unless you face an enemy aircraft). Move it too high and its niche is not worth it anymore, and it sucks. Move it too low and it decimates. Its a weird thing to balance.
To compare the FM, generally HE162 is better than L39( I don’t even like the GSH23, the fire rate is crazy in WWII BR)

To be honest, I would like to choose MB326K instead of it( even though that one is 100% move to 8.0 in the future), I can’t understand the meaning of adding L39 with CCIP. We have a better choice, like A37B instead of it. I must say L39 is good for new players who really don’t know how to CAS, but it is also pretty easy to be shot down by any other CAS or CAPs(I never get a chance to launch all my rockets last night; I had to against Mig15s and Meteors). I guess maybe we can remove the ZUNI and just let it have FFAR, and then move to 6.7
Because its just a flight trainer, its simply not designed for high performance
When I first time want to buy it, I knew it 100% not worth this BR
It has that CCIP which puts it in a weird spot. I can see it already causes issues at 7.3 ground
