Sea vixen 8.3 > 9.0
F-15A 13.0 > 13.3
F-18A 12.3 > 12.7
Mirage 2000C-S4 12.3 > 12.7
Mirage 2000C-S5 12.7 > 13.0
F-4E 10.7 > 11.0
Ju-288 to 7.0 or 6.7 as well.
Reasoning:
Letting people fly the 5.7 german planes on 6.0 and 6.3 days in peace rather than joining a lobby only for it to be 2 ta 152/bf 109 K-4 (you and a rnado) and 6 ju 288s.

That, or they could also just nerf the C250 and C500 damage for good. To this date it does not compute in my head how it is possible a incendiary bomb with 50kg explosive mass, deals almost as much damage as its bigger brother with 157kg, which in turns deal almost as much damage as all other incendiaries in the game containing 300kg+.
You can’t tell me this is for balance, because right now, not only german bombers are the ones with the biggest base damage potential in the game, even their low tier fighters can carry one of those and take bases out.
unironically, Ju288C might be the sole thing that killed my interest in prop planes all those years ago. Nothing, and I mean nothing prepares a newbie for the mental anguish of having to constantly face six enemy fighters on your own while rest of the team goes bombing.
You just join them. Another fantasy plane with fantasy bombs, money in Gaijins pocket, win.
The original post touched most of the basic points.
Although I would also move Sea Vixen up to 9.0 as well; it’s inherently unfun to play against and ruins pretty much any Korean war style matchups. There are entire BR ranges of sim that are basically dead because 1 or 2 planes at the top of the bracket make everything else uncompetitive.
The F14A should be 12.7
Unless other irrccm planes at 13.0 go up, the f15A should stay at 13.0
F15A=F2A=Jas39=harrier ii=f4ice
tornado F3 12.0 > 12.3
This thing absolutely destroys everything red has in the 12.0 lobby with its kit. 200 flares + digital rwr + good radar is criminal against the planes it faces
F4 Junk 12.0 < 11.7
Its inferior to the 11.7 phantoms and theres no reason for it being 12.0 for years
F-104J 10.0 > 10.3
Super fast, 6 Aim-9Ps. Radar missiles are useless at that BR so you can just stay fast and low, nothing will touch you.
Kikka 6.7 >7.0
As much as I love it, it is just too fast for 6.7. 850 km/h at sea level is just crazy at this BR.
You can outrun everything and never check 6, while outturning many things. If you learn how to aim with “the stick” and have some trigger discipline, 6.7 is seal clubbing.
TLDR: Flight models should be corrected before changing Battle Ratings.
Let us begin with this preposterous premium British Mustang. Please fellow pilot, wring her out in test flight with combat flaps deployed then tell me if she does or does not object to your joystick locked fully back as you yank & bank? Literally, she’s a goofy clown with melted makeup often exploited by some otherwise skilled aviators. This is a… Splintery situation, if you catch my drift?
Same for XP-50, all P-40 variants and all Ki-61 variants.
Mind you, I’m NOT addressing generally OP aircraft but specifically aircraft that behaves as if Gaijin’s INSTRUCTOR is shielding them from consequences of over-pulling (I.E. stalls) in Simulator mode.
OP? Bf 109 E-1 (1-2.0): She stalls when pulled too hard (thankfully) but she exhibits cartoonish climb! I generally uptier her at 2.0-3.7 and higher except special circumstances in 1-2.0 that involve fighting insanely OP attackers/bombers which fly faster than E-1 and that squirt a tsunami of shells out of their rear “poop chute” (Frank Zappa).
What are we going to do about the Hunter situation?
British Hunter F.1 - (9.0), 17 min of fuel, no secondary armament, weak engines
British Hunter F.6 - (9.7), 13 min of fuel, various armament, can either choose drop tanks OR SRAAMs, better engines
French/Dutch Hunter F.6 (9.0) - 13 min of fuel, Aim9B AND drop tanks (most likely, can be wrong), same better engines as the British one
Ariete and CL13s and G91s and Sigma jets aside, why cannot I also have my 9.7 Hunter at 9.0? F1 should go 8.7, French F6 to 9.3, if not 9.7 due to extended possible range.
F-15a and j going to 12.7 is gonna kill that bracket even more it must not go down
BTW the base su-27s and j-11 are still at 13.3. Is this some sort of joke?
Folks, dont forget to go into the discussion page and upvote the Air Sim sugestions
It’s too strong!!! Says most American mains.
Something, something can’t evade r27er
