Those 12.0 phantoms have HMD + Fox-1. 6xAim7+HMD or 4xAim7+HMD+4xAim-9H much better then 6 all aspect fox-2.

You should make suggestions rather than making an argument even if the arguments are valid.
Having aim7 against fix 3 shouldnt be a thing
It has mid radar with no tws and it doesnt even have hmd
Aim9m are nice but it doesnt have df missiles thats why even su27 might be better in df (not that it happens)
The arb meta relying on radar missiles and in that regard f15a is lacking
It should not be abke to see ef2k or rafale
J-11A
13.7>14.3
Reasoning:
Decompression, plus it’s lacking compared to the SM
as part of moving top BR to 15.0 because people can’t be bothered to read more than one post…
Can i ask why the yak28 is lowered to 9.0 in air realistic battle while the french vautour’s stays at 9.0 while being way less effective in battle
it should not be able to face literal flareless planes with the 2 free kills bc of pd radar
I take full responsibility for the SARC 6 pounder getting moved up. Sorry everyone, its just too effective at clubbing seals.
12.0 constantly gets uptiered to 13.0 where it faces f14s and ja 37s on a frequent basis, it does face fox 3.
Aircraft: A-7K
Mode: Air Realistic Battles
BR change: 11.3 → 10.7
Reason: while the A-7K has a much better armament than the previous A-7’s do, the A-7K is still the same slow brick as its brothers and while it does carry Aim-9L’s, it can only carry 2 of them making the ability to use the missile and get kills a difficult endeavor as most planes will easily outrun you or very easily flare the Aim-9L.

Or you have things like F-4J(UK).
Which the Kurnass 2000 would absolutely destroy in a 1v1 with how easy the Skyflash DFs are to defeat.
Su-34
13.7>14.7, add R-77-1
Reasoning:
Decompression, historical armament change

Bro stop with the stupid takes f16d shouldnt be 0.3 less then ef2k

Mode:ARB
Vehicle: A-7E
No BR change, but can it FINALLY get a buff???
AGM-62ERDL, AGM-65F ( only two) and AIM-9L are NEEDED for that thing to actually have some relevancy in ground and air. The plane is STRAIGHT UP GARBAGE.
It’s one of the definitive USN attacker aircraft yet the devs neglect it while it’s being powercrept to HELL AND BACK. PLEASE??
JAS-39C (all)
13.7>14.3
Reasoning:
Decompression, but one of the weaker 13.7s

Its almost like you play around BR12.0 and are clearing everything above it that slaps the bullys at 12.0 - mirage for eg
sa’ar and sambad
air rb
9.0-> 8.7
this planes are bad, like really bad, some of the worst, should go down
Vehicle: All aircraft with 20 mm ShVak armaments
Game Mode: Air RB / Air Realistic
BR change: All aircraft gets a BR increase of +0.3
Reasoning: Gaijin buffed the (historically correct) low damage output of the 20 mm ShVak with RS 3.0. Together with the ballistic update the weapon became extremely easy to use whilst their damage output raised exponentially without any BR increase.
Soviet aircraft suffered always from the combination of low ammo count (usually 120-150 rounds) and low damage output. As a direct result these aircraft were positioned lower in their BR than their flight performance would justify.
With the damage output buff it is no rare occasion to see even absolute rookies racking up 4-5 kills in any Sowjet fighters with one ammo load as the favorable ballistics and way too high damage output encourages them to enforce head-ons in infinite loops with a high chance to get a kill.
This is based on the fact that their main counterparts have either wing mounted cannons (=convergence issues) and/or ballistic issues combined with low damage output (like MG 151/20s).
Fighting more nimble fighters with easy to use cannons at rather too low BRs like 2.0 (LaGG) or 2.3 (Yak-1) up to 4.7 / 5.0 is no fun - that’s why they need an increase. Gaijin can easily verify this by comparing the top 20% of players of any fighter with ShVaks with their stats 18 months ago.
Edit:
As evidence for superior flight performance of a Yak (here Yak-3 in a full downtier) and the capabilities of getting 4 kills with one ammo load whilst playing 1 vs 7 for more than 10 minutes: Watch this replay: Link.
The flight performance in combination with the power of the 20 mm cannon allowed the imho decent player way too easy kills. Resetting the fight by running back to his airfield is also a classical Yak move. And, ofc, this"stalinum" air frame tanked 2 Hispano rounds (air targets) from my 3.3 Firefly very late game without any effect on his flight performance.

Why the 34 goes at an higher BR than the 30?
add the 30SM2 and maybe it can be 14.7
:skull:
Not gonna happen and we all know that so suggest normal takes based on the currect br changes
hot take, EF and rafale should be always 0.3 above everything else on top tier
