Why does one of these planes have a br 8.0 and the other has an 8.3 if they are the same? Is this Pay to Win or is there something I don’t understand?
No, they are not the same. The ISH can carry A LOT more ordinance and has a rocket ballistic computer. The regular Bis has less ordinance and no ballistic computer

In term of flight performances, the extra pylons on the Bis ISH barely impacts the plane at all. DEFYN made a video about it some times ago. Basically that makes the ISH an equivalent plane for air/air while also being much stronger CAS.
So yeah, absolutely no reason to have different BR, and since the ISH has a lower BR, it’s basically p2w.

Short answer, yes.
Long answer, it has like 1-2% worse flight performance, which is obviously not grounds to be a BR step below what is already one of the best 8.3 fighters.
