Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 1)

It’s fine at that BR

J35XS had potential to be a tad OP in downtiers. So my opinion was always, try it at 11.0, see what happens,. Though that was before they decided to lower the BR of a load of aircraft that did not need moving… So… Who knows if anything has changed

Last I checked the F-14A IRAF has never received a response for being the same BR as the vanilla F-14A, so I’ll ask it here.

What makes the devs believe the IRAF should be a the the same BR as the vanilla F-14A when it has objectively better ARH missiles?

what even is the point in voicing our suggestions if we are getting ignored anyway?
at this point just announce and implement them, theres no need to ask for our opinion if theyre probably not even being read.

They did:

TLDR: They didnt want to move it up 2 stops in one BR change. Which I half get.

“this is totally a democracy guys, trust us”

Sure, but that is a pretty weak excuse when the normal F-14A shares the same BR.

Kinda crazy its my first time here and im really caring about the br changes but i kinda feel disappointed

May I inquire in which way my comment suggesting BR cap go from 13.7 → 26.3 was factored in?

welcome to the club
this will be the norm, you should get used to it

Only time Im not disapointed by the BR changes is when there is new Sim Brackets added, and they have a 50/50 chance of being kinda stupid sometimes. But the last 2 have been pretty solid

For actually settling down the argument it could be designed to be something as an alternative F-14B, with R-73E but no precision guided A2G, and at 13.0 with the F-14B(presumably with AIM-9M)

Yeah, Poor Radar performance, Poor RWR performance, low CM count and only rear-aspect IR missiles. The F-14As are looking kinda rough at their new BRs

Still have zero desires to meet them in a starfighter with only one choice between guns or SARHs.

Yeah, But I would be more scared of the Tornado F3 than the F-14A based upon what I know about the F-104 at 12.0

So Smin, you able to confirm what BR the Sea Harrier FRS1 will be at in Sim post changes?

Its currently 11.3. But says its moving from 11.0 to 11.3…

So is that a typo or is it just staying at 11.3? If so how the hell is it equal to the Mig-23MLD

Is there something bugged here? Pantsir missiles are probably bad in terms of damage and I tanked up to two in a harrier. There is no way it overpressured a CR2TES.

Nothing say “we listen to our player” more than ignore most of the feedback given and prevent us from any reply in the updated br changes
Thank you gaijin, you never fail to disappoint me
