I looked at previous september updates. My conclusion is that I don’t know which way it could go. Does that help?
I mean, it was lowered from 10.7 down to 10.3 about 1.5 years ago.
( Planned BR Changes — February 2025 - Google Drive )
( Planned Battle Rating Changes for February 2025 )
So an increase doesn’t seem that far of perhaps (with better missiles) if it’s already balancing between those BR’s.
They’re gonna be fun to use in Nuclear Thunder. And it’s not the missiles fault gajin gives us tiny maps for Air RB. NT and Sim would welcome these changes the most. Additionally, they are permanently adding Bullet Hell if you don’t like the idea of modern missiles.

Yes because it was pay for pain.
Giving it more missiles isnt going to improve its chances vs full radar slingjng lobbies with no RWR and 12 CMs
Do you play the same game? It has no missile warning and 12 CMs.
Vs cracked AI SAMs does not equate to being fun
Its like the f16a- complete garbage. Nobody has a good time, luckily theres plenty of other viable f16s to use.
J35 not so much. The XS is the only one thats actually good and thats about to be given better missiles which sends it to the ever growing dust pile of useless jets…
They should leave the XS as it is. And release the DOA j35 with whatever they want as its a fat RIP anyway. I dont see why existing jets have to suffer these “buffs” that kill the jet
you want a Draken with RWR and Flares and Chaff and good Missels? Check this out: J35OE Mk2: The upgraded austrian Draken!

Time-to-target percentage improvement compared for all the recently changed fox-3s.
R-77 and PL-12 were the biggest winners.
If it is the integral improvement of the missile’s flight time and speed, shouldn’t the time be shortened by a percentage?
It is, the percentage you’re seeing is how much it was shortened by.
Kinda counterintuitive ^^
Ehh I was referring to the Fox 3s mainly. We shall see how the Draken ends up. If the stats don’t change too much we should be fine.
What are the actual times now?
Day 1301 of waiting for Polish tech tree

I’ve got two questions;
1- Are people really firing missiles from 50 km ranges?
2- Are people really DYING to such launches?
1 - yes
2 - no unless they are afk

It’s not worth your time to sink ANY ships considering the time spent engaging in ASW to SL/RP/SP/Score rewards & drain on enemy tickets.
Unless they rebalanced the rewards and impact of naval on the match, you can continue to ignore this component (if you’re actually interested in winning the match).
I did a bit of reorganizing from best to worst after rework according to your data (formatting is a bit wanky tho forgive me I’m doing it from my phone)
What’s interesting is that R77 and MICA are two extremes. R77 goes from worst to better than MICA and AIM120, but still quite a bit worse than the others. MICA got virtually no buffs and goes from second last to dead last.
The rest of the rankings don’t change and are buff by relatively similar margins
Now obviously this isn’t really representative of most kills in game

Before you asked this question, why not just go play the current top-level air combat matches? People really do get shot down because they don’t dodge at all.
yeah sinking 3 ships earning the same amount of SL and RP as destroying 3 Tanks is kinda insane Ships should have the single highest reward since they are the hardest to destroy
