Not yet afaik, but we did get a datamine with a bunch of them.
With the new BR mechanic Yak130 can have 11.0 BR in ARB with HMS, 4×R73 and CM pod. L-39ZA can have 8.0 BR with 2 R13/AIM-9P
it is out i just checked it War Thunder "Eagle's Shadow" - Changelog - Updates - Game - War Thunder

so you can take a subsonic aircraft with 30 flairs, 3 LGBs and no A2A missiles and its still 11.0 in GRB bro how, how is the Yak-130 with 4 TV guided bombs allowed to stay at 10.3

CM pod exists and with the HMS it should be fine at higher BR.
Great idea, lets put 7.0 planes against AIM-9P
or just add the YAK-130M?

I tried to on my RTX 5090 but couldn’t find the option
For my first time in R&R I scrolled down before typing something (I really outta get into that habit more, but I’m always afraid I’ll lose the message I want to reply to or forget about it), and you said EXACTLY what I was gonna say verbatim lmaooo

at least 10.7 britain has some CAS again with the G-Lynx and Lynx AH1 getting the dynamic BRs, wish they would just drop the BR of all the CAS planes they moved around but its something at the very least
This updste has some absolutely banger backgrounds.
Good point, give it AIM-9P-4 then to one up the competition (Thai variant can carry four of those)
These loadouts are optional anyways, I don’t think they have to be practical necessarily and their biggest value comes from representing real world history and messing around in custom battles with friends, with only a small side of enjoying the challenge of a plane that’s massively underqualified for the weapons it carries (though to be fair this gets better once we get to aircraft with CMs)

I said that as an example. Although AIM-9P would be quite OP at 8.0 but its on a bad airframe which should limit its effectiveness. 8.7 might be more balanced.
Modification based BRs now finally allows these planes to have their historical armaments so I don’t see any problems with letting more planes have their missiles. If someone wants to play at lower BR they can simply unequip the modification and just 2 AIM-9P isn’t game breaking. Gaijin doesnt have to add the better AIM-9P variant, base variant would be more than enough.

quite? they are props in 7.0 and ww2 planes in 8.3, they have done nothing wrong to face off an Aim-9P specially when 1-2 planes only have flares, it should be at least 9.3
9P literally can’t lock props far enough to be used
That’s BR compression and MiG-21S has been facing missiles that it cant out maneuver for quite some time.
some of the dynamic BRs are just dumb, Buc S2B at 11.0 where you sacrifice pretty much everything yet there are still planes like the A7D at the same BR which is just better in every way is insane to me tbh
Even with updated NVIDIA drivers?
Yeah this is the part of the new BR balancing I don’t agree with either. R-73 at 10.7 is insane when that means facing stuff like the A-4PTM that’s subsonic with no CMs (they didn’t forget CMs) and only rear-aspect AIM-9P, and this is probably not even the worst 9.7 for comparison.
I’d rather have vehicles too weak at their optional BRs than too strong personally. So long as it’s optional, nobody is suffering from that anyways unless they choose to, so Gaijin should be more cautious with the balancing in the transitionary period where CMs and IRCCM missiles start to appear.
