Why in the world are both of these planes at 12.3 in air RB, Both have python 3 and one has a HUGE airframe advantage!
its because gaijin thinks the python 3 is a god killing missile
Gaijin loves compression.
Kurnass 2000 is at 12.3 because Gaijin thinks that F-4 + All-aspect IR = 12.3 (look at F4EJ Kai) regardless of the fact it doesnt have any SARH and playing devils advocate for a moment, when it was first added Python-3 were probably the best IR missile in-game and the F-4s were perfectly fine.
The Netz was a higher BR proportionally, again, it was fine
But now… that just is no longer true. Netz couldnt be at 12.7 with non-IRCCM vs F-16s with IRCCM, so had to drop down, but Gaijin wont drop the Kurnass down to 12.0 because they consider it better than aircraft like the F-4S or FGR2 (which they arent entirely wrong, at least in some respects) but this leaves the Kurnass at a waaaaay over BRed state and completely stuck.
TLDR: Gaijin needs to decompress 12.0+ and not compress it as they have been and they need to review older aircraft affected by legacy BRs
tbh at this point just give it sparrows, i dont care anymore for historical accuracy, i much rather have a fun and balanced aircraft over a historical slop that barely works on its own
Fat phantom with only IR missiles sounds worse tham the kfir C7 im about to unlock.
Game feels like pick a number… no thought given to balancing
