That’s not what compression is
In the grand scheme of things it is.
no, it’s not.
compression is when vehicles that shouldn’t be facing each other, are facing each other and the br spread doesn’t allow for stuff to get moved away effectively
Such as MiG-29G being at the same br as Su-27
Su-30MKK/MK2 being 13.3 because Su-27SM etc
The only way to fix this, is move stuff up
not down

The whole idea as well as the word itself explain the concept sufficiently.
1.0/reserve to 14.7.
Not enough room for balancing assuming one is not willing to have various vehicles be to dominant or lackluster.
If you decompress that is if you set the highest Br to 15.0 or as it used to be 20.0 for example you have more room to balance carefully.
Currently the imaginery sponge is compressed or crushed. Many would prefer extension or decomoression to widen the field of battle rating steps faircraft can be placed in.

and how is this removing battle ratings?
Battle rating steps in a sense.
Because the current 13.7s as well as some 13.3s and 14.0s fit in one range or bracket.
If we had a wider range of available battle ratings we could better adjust for up or downtiers.
I want the aircraft of that range to be placed at 13.7 in the compressed state we have.
You said moving it down would be compression but M2K-5 suffers from compression itself.
Compression would be cramping more and more into the same Br range as Gaijin is doing or narrowing down the range of battle ratings.
I was talking about placing M2K-5 alongside it’s peers.
WHICH IS WHAT YOU’RE ASKING FOR.
You’re being insanely hypocritical
Not really because MICA is not so superior that a Br increase in relation to it’s peers is needed.
Finer steps would be possible if up- and dowtiers had only a range 0.7 or we had more steps over all.
In the current situation 13.7 would indeed be a compromise but the lesser of two evils.
it is
The simple fact that it has no launch limits alone are what make it 14.0-level
you underestimate how powerful that is
Its peers are all 14.0 anyways besides Su-27SM which should be 14.0
You’re asking for more compression, claiming it’s decompression
No, that’s not how it works

It really is. You seem to have your own definition of compression.
You also ignore the gameplay mechanics in favour of focusing on seeker and maneuverabilty only.
If the reason you object is the lack of Fox-3 on a 12.7 it doesn’t matter which one is used since the 12.7 would have a hard stand against any Fox-3 in a best case scenario.
SU-27SM does not need to be 14.0.
Many peers of M2K-5 are actually 13.7 or even 13.3 currently.
I’m all for reintroducing 20.0 and moving everything up but that is unlikely to happen any time soon.
oh it does
it’s better than every 14.0 with just MICA mirage being comparable
you mean the one that lets me launch at any angle?
They’re not
I just tested MICA mirage against 14.0s and even Su-27SM.
The other person is a player much better than me
He was having massive issues dealing with me since I could just launch at him within the notch (no launch limits go brr) and notch almost anything he sent at me
This thing can stay at 14.0 until new br, then maybe things will change
but rn, it stays at 14.0

The gameplay mechanics in regard to 12.7…
Yes MICA is maneuverable, lovely. That is not the deciding factor in the majority of situations.
That is not the issue for a 12.7 that is being targeted by Fox-3 carrying aircraft…
The mechanics are.
Going offensive, forcing the other to defend and then pressing the advantage. That kind of thing.
Even AIM-7P and R-27ER struggle in this department against any Fox-3. Especially if the enemy carries more than 2.
SU-27SM should use ER as well as R-77.
Etc. Etc. Etc.
SU-27SM is also not just better than F-15E for example.
I agree that MICA is very good but what is deceicive for the topic at hand is not that it is the best short range Fox-3.
To me it looks like you are ignoring everything that does not support your opinion.
Which is fine. We don’t have to agree.

Meta is medium-short range
Which MICA is good at
As well as having no launch limitations
You’re the one ignoring this fact
That’s an insane advantage to have in the current Fox-3 meta
It’s useful. Not insane.
And you keep ignoring everything else.
Because it uses MICA, take away its micas and it goes to like 12.3

You’re ignoring the most important aspects of a vehicle in the current Fox-3 meta.
As well as the MICA’s seeker attribute
I’ve also tested how it does against other 14.0 aircraft as well as the best 13.7 aircraft (which should be 14.0 anyways).
It handled itself just fine.
It is not bad but would most reasonable be placed at 13.7.
I aknowledged the strength of MICA. The seeker is also nice but range is also key and it is no wonder weapon.
We were discussimg the impact on downtiers and I still do not believe that it matters which Fox 3 it is that hits the 12.7 jet.
And while MICA is indeed very maneuverable that still does not matter in every scenario. Especially outside of a 1v1 scenario it can assure victory or at least survival or have no impact at all depending on your position and the position of the enemies.
Yeah
And the strength of theICA puts it on top of pretty much every 13.7 bar 27SM
We will likely have to agree to disagree.
As far as I can tell you focus to much on the strength of the missile and not on the shortcomings of the plane or it’s radar or on the tiny detail of how much more utility is needed.
Good enough usually is still good enough.
Kfir C.10 with only 4x Derby can easily be more efficient than M2K-5 with MICA.

Hah
Worst 13.3 (with the worst ARH in the game besides fakour and Phoenix) vs one of the best 14.0s
You’re funny
