In it’s current state, the new M-346FA Master is not relevant at all. It’s Derby missiles places it too high of a BR for it’s flight model, and 12.3 in ground without fire and forget ordinance is not really usable with the AA systems present. I see some options to make it relevant, outlined in the poll. According to a post I made during the dev server (M-346FA has armament options missing), there are armament options missing.
For option 2, I am aware that no aircraft with Fox-3 missiles (Apart from the AIM-54A) is below 13.0, but this one has such poor flight performance for it’s BR it would make sense. Kinda like how the A-10A has AIM-9Ls at 10.3.
Open to better suggestions than the ones I listed.
Add Spice 250 + AIM-9L/I, keep current BR
Move BR down to 12.7/12.0 with current loadout
Remove Derby, Add AIM-9L/I, Move to 11.7 for both air and ground

It’s sad to see such a cool little aircraft be punted into the void with it’s BR.
I dont think spice would even make it usable at 12.3 when you have far better options at the same br. Moving it down to 12.7/12.0 seems like the best idea considering it only carries derbys and not aim120s. If not 11.7, 11.7 would be the best option if it had its derby removed but according to gaijin the brimstone requires a 12.3 br so i very much doubt well see either options as long as it keeps brimstones…
