New SB Brackets

Another update and still no changes for Air Sim Brackets.

Ever since the introduction of 14.0, it has been entirely possible to add new SB brackets that properly accomodate 12.3 and 13.3 into the rotations. We have had 1 major update and 2 BR changes and yet nothing has changed, nothing has been fixed and we are even seeing the possibility of needing 14.3 this major update with the introduction of Aim-120C5s

As it currently stands, 12.3 aircraft can only fight against 12.7 or 13.0s which effectively makes all 12.3 aircraft 12.7. It also means that 12.0 aircraft only get a single rotation where they can face downtiers and remain somewhat effective, the other 3 rotations they are facing either 12.7 or 13.0 aircraft where they are notably weak.

Additionally. 13.3 aircraft are forced to exclusively fight top tier aircraft and none stand much of a chance. As a result, several 13.3 aircraft have moved down to 13.0 recently and the result has been that many 13.0 aircraft now struggle when fighting aircraft that should not be the same BR (F4F-ICE vs Sea Harrier FA2 for example)

My proposal is to add new SB brackets that would look like this:

This would add the necessary 12.3 rotation and 2x 13.3 rotations. This would also require some 12.3 and 13.0 aircraft to be re-adjusted to 12.7 and 13.3 respectively

Should these new rotations be implemented

  • Yes - as proposed above
  • Yes - but with different brackets
  • No

I voted no, just for the moment. But I believe it should only move aircraft that only carry fox 1 and 2 away from those that launch fox 3.

Separating Fox 1 launchers and Fox 3 launchers is not really necessary. Aircraft like Mig-29, Su-33, F-16A ADF, F-15A, F-18A, Grippen A, Mirage 2000 etc can easily fight and defeat them, the idea is still to have a rotation allowing all Br to be competitive from time to time
