I just realized that both premium SU-30MMK in Russian tree and China tree got moved up to 13.7 and I was wondering what is everyone’s opinion on this. For me, I think is balance now because FOX-2 jets don’t have to go against FOX-3 jets.
The top BR increased to 15.0 so A LOT of planes all the way down to 8.0 followed up with the decompression.
I think those two in particular should’ve gone higher in this particular case.
Some of the other 13.7 are still far outmatched by them, best examples being the F-16ADF series and MiG-29N/SMT.
Overall there was some good moves but also a few really dubious ones.
It wasnt enough.
12.3 is WAAAAAAAY better off than before, and 12.0 sees a reduced number of Fox-3 aircraft. But there is still MASSIVE amounts of compression that didnt get resolved.
Like for example, the Su-30 premiums with 4x IRCCM and 6x Fox-3s being the same BR as things like the F-16s with only non-IRCCM Fox-2s and a limited missile count of only 6. With less and weaker CMs.
They really should be higher still.
Just decompressing 12.0+ properly would result in max BR being more like 17-18, a 0.3 BR increase is not enough.
