It’s a good flight model with an awful missile kit, sharing a BR with the arguably better Mirage 2000C-S4 and MiG-21Bison, as well as the pretty much equivalent F-4EJ thanks to its AIM-7s and the worse K2K, that is it for fighters at 12.3 and as far as I can see, it fits right in.
And most of the strike aircraft at that BR get IRCCM missiles too, just sucks to be the JH-7A.
Yes, decompression would be better, but BR 12.3 is already toxic as hell, adding the F-16A to it likely doesn’t move the needle
Just a shame as it used to be my main SL grinder when it was at 10.0, kinda a shame to see it used as a zomber too, i much prefer to play it as a fighter which is why I’m frustrated at the BR
Aircraft BRs being based upon what they can in theory earn per sortie via base bombing alone is really annoying.
I get it to a degree and it shouldnt be totally forgotten, but some aircraft just have no buissness being anywhere near their current BRs but are just because of a bomb load.
@Smin1080p_WT will r-77s drag be looked at? its grid fins allow it to have dynamic drag, which isnt yet possible in game, yet it seems to have the highest drag from its graph
Still not entirely sure why its not 10.7, but incremental changes might be the plan. J-35XS has dropped 0.3 BR every single BR change for about a year now. So maybe AMX A-1A will drop to 10.7 next change
Yeah, exactly the one that always come to mind for me too. Its A2A power barely warrants it being 8.3 (not that im saying it should be that low, but it could be that low)
I cant say too much in terms of the A-1A, but it doesnt felt like the piranhas are worth that extra notch. Guns - given their decency in first loop, both are managable. Cant really expect them to bomb bases as well, only faster than Su-25s and A-10s.
They have a longer guidance delay than 9Ls but are also faster off the rails. Which both makes the delay worse and them more potent than 9Ls. So once you accomodate the delay by firing a little further away, they do pull better and are half decent. But im not sure if I consider them truly superior to the Aim-9L. More of an overall side-grade to them. Different, and better in someways but equally worse in others.
With that in mind, why the AMX A-1A is a higher BR than the AMX or Buc S2B is a totally mystery to me and yeah, Even at 10.7 I wouldnt bother using it in RB, its okay in SB and 11.0 will help a bit, but its hard to justify using it over the Buc S2B at 10.7 which has equal bomb load, equal RWR but has a radar and is faster
Can’t believe they are going to keep RN Ghibli at 4.0, this is so retarded, it’s probably the most overtiered vessel I’ve seen in WT.
Yeah, they usually skip all the naval related feedback, but, I mean… this is such an obvious case.
