Not my point, it is still a high skill ceiling aircraft because it does not perform as well in its current BR. You get two magic 2s that are good, now what? You have 3 Matras that either don’t work or work 1 out of 100 times, so you’re forced to dogfight against F-16s that are objectively better to fly.
sure not as much as the su30s but compared to the f14a/b its extremely handholdy
one of my crowning achievements is that i got a kill with an r530e in a dogfight one time
Super 530 can be situational but also extremely useful.
It’s a interesting Br bracket.
sigh
Has the Dev updated yet?
even if it had its probably not changed whatever you wanted
Congrats, and I’ve gotten kills with them too, still doesn’t change what I said. Put an F1 vs an F-16 head to head used by players with equal skills and the F-16 will still win every time. THAT is my point.

yeah not exactly a surprise
That is the case in various battle ratings with various aircraft often enough with aircraft at the same battle rating.
That taperes down in top tier due to the potency of missiles but is still true for various aircraft.
No concern for Gaijin really.
Which brings me right back to the start, Gaijin wants premiums to be on relatively “equal” grounding with “equal” advantages or disadvantages, whether what counts as equal is subjected to Gaijin’s own metrics but it’s also why the F-16 is a “simpler” choice rather than introducing an older airframe with top tier weapon presets.

Equal in that case means IRCCM and ARH missiles.
I mean there are also factors like F-16 is lighter and quicker than the Su-30s but the Su-30s can carry more missiles despite worse(?) radar etc.
Well the Mirage 2000-5F is 14.0 for a very good reason, it would likely be 14.3 or higher if we had proper decompression.
So any Mirage 2000 with MICAs would likely be 14.0 as well.
I am not quite sure wether Gaijin goes that far in “Balance”.
You are very optimistic.
Not with the general game no, but they do put some thoughts into premiums. End of the day the shit they sell has to sell otherwise it goes into the trash next update and replaced immediately after.
We do have some terrible premiums in game though. Some are of course relicts from “different times”.
Lol AJS will likely be in the trash next update lmao
I know, I did say some thoughts, and I can name a few that was not great like the T-2 (early) which came way too late and was immediately disqualified next update and replaced with an F-4EJ premium.
In the end I still think they could have managed with either Mirage F.1 from Marocco or any export Mirage 2000.
I doubt balance had much to do with Gaijins considerations.
If something between 13.0 and 13.7 was required Mirage F.1 MF2000 would have been perfect fulfilling the missile requirements without being to dominant. While the tech tree M2K at 14.0 would still be superior.
With it’s speed and missile options it would perform decently in experienced hands and could be downright dangerous if played by more experienced players. As much as that matters in the top tier RNG at least.
man still no abrams hull update post yet, im waiting to see either the turn around and best news of the year or to see some very entertaining comments
