I added 12.3
But its only got Aim9Ls at the moment. 12.3 is where the ICE should be imo too.
Never mind the ICE got the Li. Though I still think it would be fine at 12.3 It does not have many CM & cannot turn and notch as quickly.
Because SHar without AMRAAM would just be an FRS.1 with a better engine and AIM-9M (or a worse GR.7) and I (and others apparently) feel it should be 12.0 anyway. The fact it’s 12.3 hints to me that they want to initially avoid those “lower” BRs and, frankly, seeing how a platform as poor as a Harrier I performs with AMRAAM will be a good indicator of how significant an impact the new missiles are having. I wouldn’t be surprised if the FA.2 ends up moving down (assuming there isn’t more decompression).
Again, generous interpretation.
& Viggen Mod D with sky flashes is just another Viggen Mod C.
Mod D is the designation for the Aim-120 capability.
It’s actually not a real Viggen Mod D without Aim-120s. It’s just a Mod C available at two BRs 11.0 & 11.3.
The Aim9Ls do not determine its variant. The Aim-120 capability & deployment that did.
That was the final upgrades to require to give it the variant designation.
Got to look at it equally am I right?

I just want mk3’s coming 10.3 to have a good lineup =/
@Smin1080p HI, is there any consideration of adding PL-8B or any other Chinese anti-interfering IR missiles for J-8F? I think it needs too.

Which game mode is that? Air Rb? Sim?
If it is sim, atleast it won’t get uptiered 100% of the time if it’s 11.7.
If they make 12.0, they might as well raise further and give it R-77
Go fly the sea harrier, you can test drive it as its a squadron vehcile. Get up to the max speed on the deck and pull a 90 degree turn, youll see it drop down to 400kph and become a bus. the av 8b and shar are WORLDS apart in fm as the shar is ALOT havier with (what feels like) more drag than the gr 3 let alone gr 7. where an av 8b could feesibly dog fight a gen 4 jet, as its what i do in my gr 7 anyway, the shar has no hope and will have to fly like a worse tornado and the tornado is going to struggle anyway.
Armement cannot carry this plane, it has a worse fm than the a 10 and su 25 as its only posotive is straight line speed which becomes quickly usless at this br where your not the only jet with a 1:1 power to weight ratio.

Well, I am not sure what qualifies a BR gap. The Swedish tech trees Viggen C & D are 11.0 & 11.3
There are no other aircraft found until 12.7. What can GJ even place there? More Vigens?
I would consider this the opposite of avoiding a BR gap. But rather maintaining it. A large one.
yes,you describe it right ,so to lower its br to 11.7 is very nessary
11.7 would be stupid, 12.0 is the bottom limit for ARH, just as 10.7 should be for 9l caring jets. but they should also make it so 11.0 can never see 12.0, would allow for more jets that were not gonna be added due to the balancing nightmare, as most 11.3s and above can deal with these jets well enough however some 11.0s would simply die upon sight lol.
you forget the f14
I dont think we’ll ever win the case for 12.0 before the update drops, but its gunna be top of the list next BR change. Once Fox 3 has settled down a little and we can commit to some “real world” arguments. Dev server is really hard to see what balance will actually be like, especially when its as unfinished as it is (doesnt have access to BOL for AMRAAM for example)
But yeah, 12.0 is probably the best place for it. Either that or 13.0s move to 13.3.
I’ll happily fight any 12.7 in the FA2. but im just not sure there is any hope in a fight against any 13.0. AMRAAM performance is not good enough at long range. Im finding most of my kills are coming at no greater range than with SARH.
Aim-54s are a world apart from AMRAAM and the F-14A does only have rear-aspect IRs. Which is the main reason why I reckon its 11.7. Its threading a very fine line though between 11.7 and 12.0

The 11.7 F-14 with both worse IR missiles and worse ARH missiles?
That’s fair, but they did take it as a suggestion for a new vehicle rather than a modification to an existing one

the change should must come if av8b+ get 4*120,do you agree on it?
That would be a slap in the face. What’s it going to be called?
The Viggen Mod D (real version)? Or GE Thirst edition?
