Move the MIG-23ML to 11.0

Yes and you should have no issue evading its missiles unless you’re climbing high to where it can use its radar missiles on you.

Is where it’s currently at. If it was placed at 11.0 it would perform better and incentivize more sales.

Ah yes, because the Mig-23ML doesnt have a gun.

You’re circling back to “you shouldn’t be dogfighting in a Jaguar”.

No… You just said

therefore you are stating that ANY aircraft at 10+ that has flares can beat the Mig-23ML. The Jaguar Gr1A is 10.3 and has flares. Therefore it should be able to defeat the Mig-23ML by your criteria. It cannot,

You then state:

Except, you cant flare guns. Your only way of defending against the Mig-23ML would be to try and turn fight it. But you would loose immediately. Doesnt matter that the Jaguar Gr1A is a strike bomber and not a dogfighter.

The Mig-23ML moving to 11.0 would be total BS and mean that BRs have no value anymore. It would kill the game. If premiums get a BR solely to boost sales, then move ALL premiums down 0.3-0.7 BR, they would all sell 10x more, though people would only play Premiums and the game owuld become pay to play

Which is irrelevant, as its performance places it at 11.3.

Any vehicle that has guns can beat the MIG-23ML it depends on how stupid the pilot is.

No which is why you circled back to what I originally said “don’t dogfight in a Jaguar”.

Its performance does not place it at 11.3 its ability to sell does. It would generate even more sales at a lower BR, this fake “balance” makes this game very annoying to play.

Jaguar Gr1A has guns, it cant beat the Mig-23ML

This hyperfixation on the Jaguar is odd.

And somehow you think thats lacking at 11.3?

Yes, it does. It has the same airframe as the MiG-23M, though it bears better missiles and a FAR better engine.
Hence, 11.3.

Sale makes no difference in its BR. Performance does.

No I think that’s more than enough for its current BR and it would do even better at a lower BR.

This is factually incorrect look at its current BR

Of course it would be better, because it would be fighting weaker vehicles more. It doesn’t need to go down

“need to” is very dependent on your frame of reference

If you are not the worst player in the game you should do well with the ML

Except, that is not the case. You have admitted the Jaguar Gr1A that has both Flares and Guns cant be the Mig-23ML.

So what you are saying is that some aircraft are at certain BRs for a reason and that the Mig-23ML shouldnt move down “to increase sales” which is not a balancing metric. The Mig23ML is probably one of the best premiums in the game currently. It sells very well compared to many other premiums.

So maybe it should stay at 11.3 unless you have a valid argument for why it is significantly underperforming compared to most other 11.3s which cant be explained by compression.

If you are the worst player in the game you would still do well with the ML it’s a very good plane at its BR.
