I don’t expect that to happen, what I do expect to happen is for Gaijin to respond to a sustained and clearly defined request to move the aircraft in question back up to 9.7. This has been requested practically since they were moved down, and there’s various well supported lines of argument to justify all of their BR movements.
I have multiple aces and 6 kill games in this plane, even back when it was first added with a bad flight model that used to bleed so much energy.
Spaded, it’s good and actually fun to play if you respect how it should be flown (which really isn’t difficult, you just need to be willing to adjust). I will say that playing the MiG-15 and MiG-17 long ago before supersonics were added did help me a lot with trigger control, so using one NR-30 with 60 rounds isn’t an issue for me.
If you don’t like it, then move on to the next plane.
