The only difference between this and the other Ki-84s at 5.3 and 5.7 is the guns in the wings. The 30mm Ho-155s it gets have been HEAVILY nerfed and are lacking in every respect, with damage barely exceeding that of the 20mm Ho-5s it also has in the nose. Should be moved to same BR as the Otsu with its 4x 20mm Ho-5 loadout.
AH-64D 12.0 → 12.3
AH-1Z, and MH-60L → no change in BR
But add the HEAT and HE-PF warheads to the APKWS
The hellfire L would be way too much of a buff but right now these helis really struggle to keep up at topteir due to how slow the hellfire is
I’ll just leave this here. 150+ people agreed with me last time.
Air RB - F-14A IRIAF 13.0 > 12.7 Because unless you’re buffing it this patch, it’s not equipped to fight its new matchmaker. I think a solution of adding the R-73E it was successfully tested with and allowing it to use all 6 Fakour slots would be beneficial. If deemed too strong for 13.0, remove the R-27R-1. I also recommend looking into possibly buffing the radar/RWR, as even with its missiles, there are certain standards for 13.0 aircraft that the F-14A airframe from the 70s cannot overcome with the Fakour-90 missiles.
Upgrade the radar from AN/APG-70 to AN/APG-82(v)1.
Why? Because the current radar is underwhelming for its BR.
The aircraft also struggles in dogfights even with the AoA button due to airframe limitations.
It doesn’t have proper dogfight missiles either.
Plus, we’re using a late version of the F-15E, so the upgrade makes sense.
Why on earth are the Q-5s going up??? They don’t have any missiles, and can’t break Mach 1 at sea level, and they only have 9 flare pops. The L is also objectively better than the A. Do not move them.
I do not agree, I think the Javelin is a good plane that performs well at 8.3, it has good guns with high cadence and good acceleration, if we remove the Sabres and MiG-15 that clearly should be at 8.7 minimum, it would be similar to the case of the F-104
Reasoning: The F9F-2 is somewhat of a struggle bus, as its flight performance is underwhelming compared to the F9F-5 and F9F-8. It closely resembles the F2H-2, which sits at 7.3, and shares very similar flight characteristics. Additionally, the F9F-2 struggles even in a support role, as it is easily outperformed by MiG-15s and Sabres in sustained dogfights.
A proper T-80BV should have reinforced model 1985 Upper front plate like the Obj.292, and currently the model 1982 T-80B’s protection is not that good in common uptier fights. Lowering its br can improve its survivability while its mobility can partly compensate for its lack of TVD in 10.3.
