Cl13 mk4 is a higher br than the f86a5 despite being the same airplane
Laughs in KH-38 and nerf of NATO NERA armour

Yes, because of a major American skill issue.
As a joke, if the USA bought Tornado IDS and named it somewhat similar to A-11. Their Tornado GR.1 must be on 11.0BR. while ours will be going to await further nerf from 11.7 to 12.0. :/
It isn’t the same plane because CL-13 Mk.4 is a Canadian-built F-86E, not an F-86A.
F-86E lost the leading-edge slat from F-86A, but it is compensated by the all-control tail.
So… on gameplay side, we could say that it is a Canadian-built British version of F-86A, though. :/
By the way, either CL-13 Mk.4 or F-86A-5 isn’t a strike aircraft.
in game they are the same, the differences are only visual.
the difference in skill level between the average player is non existent, people only say things like this because they want to feel superior to others for playing a different tech tree there is zero actual evidence that the average us main is any worse than the average italy main if you still believe this to be the case i really dont know what to tell you.
the actual reason its at a higher br is due to the fact significantly less people play the cl than the a5 italy than america meaning that its statistics change less and therefore gaijin dosent feel the need to change it (the amount of people playing the cl is low enough that a group of players once spammed out the plane for a few hundred games each and managed to get gaijin to move its br up due to that although they never went through with the change) this is likely whats going on with the tornado gr1 there are not enough players playing it to significantly change its statistics and thus at 11.7 it stays.
out of curiosity what role did britian play in the plane irl?
The RAF operated ones. Not a lot. They were a short-term stop gap between Meteor, Venom, Vampire, etc and the Hunter.
RAAF ones though got Rolls Royce Engines and 30mm ADEN canon
Gaijin could use statistics of Tornado IDS WTD61 instead, but they didn’t. The only difference between them is the engine and guided A2G like Paveway.
But somehow Gaijin is using F-4J/S’s statistics to balance F-4J(UK) even though the British version is way inferior. Because Gaijin thinks that it is the same F-4J with the same fuselage.
Man, I dislikes those double standarding by Gaijin all over the damn game.
it is extremely bizarre to see that Tornado GR.1 should maintain higher BR than SUPERIOR versions on 11.3 because of nothing but silly A2G ordinances, but F-4J/S didn’t got higher BR than inferior F-4J(UK).
We bought a small batch of F-86 from Canada as a stop-gap and sent them to Italy after that.
With some F-84 from the US.
If we hadn’t bought sabre, there might be no CL-13 on Italy TT too.

i have a theory (that has no actual evidence beyond it sort-of makes sense if you think about it) that the statistics gaijin uses to determine efficiency is not actually things like winrate or kills perspawn ect but primarily on rp and sl rewards. i think this might be the case because high tier premiums dont often go down in br as people take bombs in them more frequently which causes there rewards to still be high even when accounting for the premium bonuses. so essentially i think that because the f4juk is good enough as a bomber so its rp and sl rewards are high enough to match the other phantoms at its br and gaijin therefore dosent downtier it.
US F4 gets Napalm, UK one doesnt. US one will get base kills far more often
the last time i played around that tier most of the bombing f4s i saw were still carrying regular bombs and most of the time they die shortly after getting the first base so it doubt that affects the stats much.
Hopefully if BOL gets fixed the F.3 will be a bit more fun to play:

Who would hate ‘Tonka getting a new engine’?

Well if it gets a new engine it has to go up in BR 13.0!
Also, do the mk101 engines still not have full capability in game?

I have no idea
So with more things getting Phimat, fingers crossed the F3s get them this major too. F3 Late definetly needs them
Harrier gr.3???
It would be useful, but niche given its main beenfit is GRB and we have no 9.7 lineup.
F3 has to deal with ARH where Large cahff would be really useful
No I agree, with the F.3 getting its radar performance halved this update it absolutely needs it.
