But some vehicles can be balanced more objectively, for example the J-11A is an objectively worse Su-27SM at the same BR, with the only redeeming quality being MAWS. So it should be obvious that it should go down or the Su-27SM should go up.
The question is, is it that much worse that it deserves to go down to 13.3, because the SU-27SM definitely isn’t 14.0 material?
The issue is decompression in this case, as I don’t think the J-11A is bad enough to be 13.3 which means both it and the SU-27SM are at the same BR, just one is at the very bottom of that BR and the other is mid way up
Yes, decompression is the answer. Until than it really should be 13.3 seeing as the Su-34 is 13.3.

The J-11A 100% is bad enough to go to 13.3
Only difference between it and the J-11 is R-77 and a useless MAWS system.
It can only carry 6x R-77s because it doesn’t get the two extra pylons the Su-27SM has.
It is heavier than the Su-27SM and it doesn’t get the upgraded engines, so it has worse flight performance.
It gets the horrible RWR and the same N001 as the J-11.
The JF-17 is 13.3 with better flight performance and albeit, it can only carry 4x PL-12s, but PL-12s are much better than R-77s anyway.
Basically a ZTZ88C, aka ZTZ88 but ZTZ96 turret.
Pakistan uses Type 85 IIAP which is same as IIM
Also the data link, 1, sucks with 0 BVR capability.
At present, Su-27SM no R-73M
J-11A stay 13.7 or decreased to 13.3 ?
J-11A become 13.3 with F/A-18C in next update?
We need J-11B
I would rather see a decrease to 13.3 before there is more decompression.
J-11B counterpart to AN/APG-63v3 equipped F-15C, may come 2nd major of the year
It definitely is.
Su-27SM should be the same BR as the F-15s, Rafale, and Typhoons as it’s an equivalent to those aircraft.
But don’t tell Su-27 mains that cause they like being slightly OP.

J-11B early batch uses a pulse-doppler radar, it is comparable to current MSIP II if anything in terms of performance.
J-11BG is the late variant with an AESA radar.

Only the Strike Eagle, Typhoon, and Rafale are 14.0, the Su-27SM isn’t that good
Did you mean to reply to me?
The most important thing is getting Chinese missiles on the Flanker, that’ll make it a decent bit better already, even better if we get the J-15 for canards and more hardpoints

I would argue J-11B would still be better than the J-15 despite the J-15 having two more hardpoints, tbh
So what kind of situation will you consider providing BR change and BR extension? As you mentioned the BR changes are scheduled, so does it mean that will like the update which have stable times in each year? The Navy now is stuck in 7.0 while the developer is considering adding stronger AI, it could seriously damage full up-tier cruiser players. Do you have any BR extended plan for naval battle?
