Mig-17AS

All the Mig-17s, including the afterburning variants, are going down to 8.7 but the AS stays 9.0. What’s the reason for that? The R-3S is barely usable, because it loses tracking half the time and the other half you just need to make a slight turn to avoid it.

It should be 8.7 as the other variants.

Missiles, however sucky they are, are still missiles. F-86K is 9.0 and not 8.7 because of missiles, J-29F is in the same place.

Did you also forget the Chinese J-5? It is also a MIG 17 variant.It has been at 9.3 weight for 6 years and has never changed. I wonder if GAIJIN has forgotten it.

It gets taxed .3 BR simply for that afterburner. They seem to want it on par with the MiG-19.
