Honestly, I wish it was “whatever killed me needs to go up by 2.0”. Instead it’s “whatever I’m using suffers and needs to go down by 2.0”
And people wonder why there’s BR compression…
The F-104s, and early MiG-21s are probably some of the worst examples of compressed BRs and balancing by player stats that you can see. You get a semi competent F-104 player and they become untouchable. In return they can somewhat hit you while remaining invulnerable, but part of the problems stems from the fact they see all aspect missiles and have no means of defeating them.
The MiG-21s are equally punishing to fly, and I must admit the gun on the PFM is extremely hard to learn. They can lose their speed incredibly quickly and can’t regain it that fast.
I mean I’d agree. Unfortunately for whatever reason (I personally don’t buy the whole “it’d increase queue times” thing by Gaijin, as the only area in the game that that’s really a problem is Naval) Gaijin just don’t want to decompress BRs. Which is really really bad news… because it means you get stuck with planes that really shouldn’t be at their BR but can’t go up or down for varying reasons.
