I think so, no reason to only add it for the XS.
I didn’t grind Sweden air.

Fair

Would definitely be a lot of fun to have the AoA button on the J35A (and also make it even more of a BR compression offender than the F-104A/C lol)

From the latest dev server datamines:

Every Draken gets it.

it should never have had the two sparrows on the wing fuel pylons.

I’m not even sure the C Early should have those either

Just one thing though, Draken does not have FBW, it took me some effort to get used to recovering after doing high AOA maneuvers, if you aren’t careful you can get into a flatspin (like I did in the end).

So drop the 2 sparrows, slap on 9M, and leave 12.7

Would be peak

oh i understand now thanks

Yeah after trying it myself I got stuck in an upside down flatspin from 1.5km in altitude all the way until I hit the ground. But it’s fun anyway seeing what you can do without the AoA limiter

I wholeheartedly agree

@Smin1080p_WT

Are vehicles balanced by just average player statistics or are they weighed by how good overall given player is?

VT-5 buff! Nice to see it. @Smin1080p_WT do we know what APFSDS it will be getting?

NF-5A maybe

That doesn’t qualify for rank 8 premium does it?

qualifies for rank 7 max

I honestly agree. 9L is R60M-level flare hungry. I prefer a higher BR if it means 9M over 9L.

Not sure what you mean by this, but Gaijins BR balancing almost entirely relies on the two factors I mentioned. Those being the average earnings achieved by the community using the vehicles and statistics internally recorded by Gaijin, statistics that they do not publish.

For bombers and certain strike planes the earnings are a bigger factor than the other statistics, which is pretty silly, considering that there are two other values tied to the vehicles that can be changed to limit the earnings per match. Those being repair cost and more importantly, the SL and RP multipliers.

Only the initial BR of a vehicle is determined by vehicle specifications and performance potential, unless something special is added to a vehicle all BR adjustments are just based on the factors I mentioned.

SPAA nerf regardless of how strong it is, is the last thing this game will ever need

So it’s officially a pay 2 win option at the same BR. How great!

Well, they are nerfing and/or limiting certain SAMs (Chaparral being the most recent example) and they have somewhat nerfed certain SPAAs by increasing their BR based on anti-tank capability alone, but they haven’t touched the Pantsir to this day
