these bombers thought they could escape the AIM-7C’s BR range 😂
Hopefully just an error and they’ll change it
Not like Aim-7C can really do anything

They were already in the range of the Vautour interceptor, that has SARH missiles too

Wholely moley, this is gunna be very strong at 10.3
- Air RB: Saab 35 S (“J 35XS”): 10.7 → 10.3
- Air SB: Saab 35 S (“J 35XS”): 10.7 → 10.3
remember when it was 11.3 and faced fakour without rwr
Yeah, but the moment it moved out of sight of those and then later the “strong” SARH Slingers at 12.0, it should have been fine. At 10.3 its gunna be a total menace in downtiers. How any 9.7 was meant to deal with them was a mystery, but now 9.3s are screwed
Lmao the JH-7A is actually going up in BR? Not even getting IRCCM IR missiles?
I can’t with these BR changes bro
I don’t see you as an AB player, and I very clearly put the JH-7A change under Air AB. :)
I mean still.

Ah yes, of course they undo the jet bomber BR changes, but the recompression of the 10.0 bracket is not a problem at all
Also, F-16A at 12.3, because surely a F-16 is just a .3 BR improvement over something like the F-4J
Yeah, Canberra at 8.0 would have been rather good
F-4J has HMD and SARH missiles, the F-16A is stuck with the 9L which is pretty easy to beat so long as you’re paying the slightest bit of attention, the F-16A will still be a great gunfighter in comparison, and the better aircraft overall for sure, but the F-4J holds up decently in that matchup
Fair enough.
Any leaks to cheer us up from these abysmal BR changes?

And what of the things you just said justifies the F-16A going down to 12.3?
This literally is the same case as the Starfighter (and J35A as well now) at 9.3.
you’re better off using ACM box than F-4J HMD to radar lock targets

everything else going up would have been better, but the F-16A was worse than the Mirage 2000 that had been at 12.3 for forever, and while that aircraft was great, it never felt like a huge issue when I played in that range, the F-16As absolutely do suck at their current BR and if Gaijin weren’t going to further decompress then this is the next best thing
often yes, but the HMD has it’s uses in closer range fights
Things like a F-16 just flat out shouldn’t move down if they can’t be bothered to decompress.
This is an atrocious approach to balancing the game and will only cause further compression over time with other planes suddenly performing much worse according to gaijins statistics.
