Reasoning: I believe this Corsair is significantly overtiered, as it shares the same 3.0 airframe as the F4U-1A (USMC) and F4U-1D, along with the same powerplant—not the more powerful F4U-4. While its cannons and dive speed are impressive, gaining altitude is necessary for effective boom-and-zoom tactics. However, the F4U-1C suffers from a poor climb rate, causing you to lag behind your team at the start of the match and struggle to secure an altitude advantage as often as you would with other aircraft. Personally, I’d rather fly the F4U-4, as it delivers much better performance compared to the F4U-1C. Cannons alone should not justify an unnecessarily higher battle rating.
Reasoning: I’ve played this aircraft a lot in Air RB, and I must admit, it’s a monster with airspawn, giving it an uncontested energy advantage. This aircraft dominates every Air RB match with its ridiculously good flight performance, which allows it to hold its own against Bf-109Fs and XP-50s. It can easily intercept and destroy bombers, often outdoing other fighters. I consistently net 5-8 kills per match in this thing, which speaks volumes.
Great firepower, has an airspawn and decent climb rate. It is easy to use and extremely strong against low tier aircraft with poor climb rates, poor speed, and often poor firepower as well.
Few km/h does not reason to have 3 different brs all should be 7.3. V3 has best turn rate but still the 10km/h differences and slightly better turn are nothing when things at its current br 8.0 have 200-300 km/h more and even quided missiles.
Mode: tank realistic battles
Vehicle: Pantsir S1
BR Change: 12.0 > 13.0
Reasoning: overpowered SAM, most-effective missiles in range, damage and control, the best radar, additional 4 cannons for close quarters defence. Too easy to operate, cheap to respawn and too hard to overcome.
The best move would be to disable it until introduction of IRIS-T, Spyder, VL MICA SAMs. 2K22 was a good enough top-class SAM for USSR/Russia tech tree. All top jet attackers (except russian) are literally useless after 10.7.
Ground RB, SIDAM 25 (Mistral) , BR 9.7→9.3, The Mistral is very unreliable and the machine gun has low APDS, making it difficult to fight for long with additional ammo boxes. In addition, the bad weather makes it hard to lock on to recon UAVs and difficult to get kills on them. You can differentiate the armament by making the SANTAL, which has radar, and this guy, which only has IRST lock, the same BR. I would very much appreciate it.
All FOX-3 owners move at 0.3 BR higher. For example F15A or F15J with 13.0 without FOX3 missiles and HPS, without high speed PARL missiles (R27ER) fights against 14.0 crafts. That makes this craft “dead” in the place where it stands right now
