Reasoning: Given the high CM amounts of CAS planes at this BR, and the potency of SPAA systems, the J37C is the only usable CAP platform at this BR range, however bringing it in your lineup exposes you to a full uptier to 12.0, a death sentence for your normally 10.7 lineup. The J37C has only weak unguided rockets for ground attack, and not many of them, and will make no noticeable impact against ground targets, but will allow sweden to counter CAS with competent CAP.
my suggestion:
Mode: Air Realistic
Aircraft: F/A-18A
BR: 12.3 → 12.7
Armament changes: +Give Aim-7P
+Have the full ability to take 6 Aim-7s+2 9L
+Guided munitions (mavericks)
I think F/A-18A is too powerful at 12.3. I think it would be better suited at 12.7, but with similar armament as F/A-18C Early (4 wing slots for Aim7, guided ground munitions). I don’t think just for having three hornets at three different BRs we should have the F/A-18A facing 11.3 jets.
i swear to god we need a #stopuptieringisraelivehicles because i see an uptier left and right but still no armor at all
for god’s sake, give it some armor, or make it go down in BR, its stupid that alot of tanks can pen the merkava even 3-4 BR’s lower sometimes even more.
TBF most aircrafts at 12.3 are a slop and the hornet is only marginally overpowered. There were posts about it above.
GR.7: subsonic radarless CAS platform that does have AIM-9Ls
GR.4: a literal flying brick and basically cant do anything other than bombing in air battles
JH-7A: for a better FM trades all IRCCM missiles
K2K: a phantom with all aspects
EJK: a phantom with all aspects as well
T-64B should move like the others MBT in the same battle rating (10.0).
T-72M/A should move up too, if the Merkava are moving it. (9.7)
Belgepanzer 57, same way. (9.7)
T-72AV should move 10.7 minimum like others premium MBT. ( and here you’re missing something important : thermal is Gen 2/3, with nato tank hunting capacity (Commander/gunner can shot).
Here’s the thing though, that 6.0 sec reload is the irl reload. The shir 2 which I love, should stay 9.7, I don’t see it as a problem there.
The mobility is pretty even for the shir / T64B
But I feel the AMX is going up because certain demographics that are known to cheat, like to use it in mass because it’s a good vehicle. I have no experience in it personally, but I’ve seen it do some consistently good work.
Genuinely the T64B has more merit moving to 10.0 before the shir 2 on the fact that it has that 3bm42.
the Shir two and it should stay 9.7, or both move to 10.0, and shir get the L23A1 round.
*no 10.0 should have to face off against 11.0 with a damn 192 angle pen round.
Yeah I think the top speed goes to the T64 but the getting to its top speed goes to the Shir, However the reverse is disgracefully bad on T64B
The AMX40 I have it, its a nice tank, like a worse 2k
Has a slightly worse dart, the 20mm does worse overall, the speeds comparable but the overall mobility / turret and gun traverse goes to the 2k.
it does get gen 1thermals, but has no zoom function just fixed magnification
Then you have the leopard 2k going up against the likes of hte Type90 and so on.
Proper decompression is needed for ground now, again, increase the BR to 12.7 or 13.0 and we could actually space these tanks out. rather than it being such a cluster fk of when its a downtier the tanks untouchable but in an uptier its useless.
