Aircraft:
Su-30MKK

Mode:
Air RB

Proposed change:
13.3 > 13.7

Reasoning:

The premium Su-30MKK is arguably one of the best 13.3s in the game going on by the overall packages and definetively THE best premium aircraft in the entire game.

The ability to carry up to 6x PL-12s on top of 4x IR IRRCM missiles makes this aircraft an absolute menace to the entiriety of 12.3-13.3 bracket.

While certainly it lacks engine power when compared to likes of Su-27SM and J-11B its closer in overall performance and missile capacity to them than it is to F-16ADF or JF-17 (let alone 13.0s) and as such it should see BR increase.

Since you’re also including modification changes, how about finally giving stock chaff for all Rank IX aircraft ?

its not like it being able to carry 6x fakour isnt a buff, while it still sits at 12.7, while it already is 13.0 in arb

Mode: Air RB
Vehicle: Yak-3
Recommendation: BR 4.3 to 4.7
Reasoning:

  1. Armament:
    The too low BR of Yak-3s made sense in the pre-real shatter era as the damage output of the 20 mm ShVak cannons was (historically correct) very weak.
    The changes of real shatter and adding things like adjusted ballistics made the 20 mm ShVak a very potent weapon - easy to use thanks to very flat ballistic curve and center mounted.

  2. Flight performance:
    If you compare the climb rate up to 5.000 meters with current peers you might find out that just a few planes (like Pyoerremski, 109 G-6 or F8F) are able to get to co-alt before the merge - otherwise your team has to rely on fighters with interceptor spawn to push them low. Seeing that most of Air RB fights takes place at the sweet spot of Yak-3s (= 4 km alt and lower) the 4.3 BR is a joke as outperforms as a whole (speed, climb, turn) almost anything - (except Spits and JP planes) due to superior energy retention. A plane which saw combat in September / October 1944 should fight contemporary aircraft of the Luftwaffe (their sole opponent until August 1945); the currently way too low BR is just the result of poor pilots (similar to most US fighters).

Vehicle: MiG-27M
Gamemode: Ground Realistic
BR Change: 11.0 —> 10.7
Reason: in its capabilities it’s quite similar if not slightly weaker than Su-25BM and should be at least same BR as it.

Me looking for the Air Sim column…

Vehicle: MiG-29 (9-12A) / MiG-29(9-12B) / MiG-29 Sniper / MiG-29 (9-13)
Gamemode: all modes
BR Change: 12.7 —> 12.7
Weapons change: remove R-27ER and add R-73
Reason: it’s the most logical move after placing F-15A/J/Baz at 12,7…
