Reasoning: The generally low missile count of 2 Radar missiles and 2 IR guided ones combined with the 16 Flares and 18 Chaff make this plane extremely difficult to play as at 12.3 you only see uptiers to at least 12.7 and when going up against ARH slingers (F-14A, F-14A IRIAF) the dumping of chaff to fool the missiles is impossible as you would run out of chaff before leaving the square of the Airfield. At 12.0 the plane would still face the Tomcats in certain brackets but they are not included in the “best case scenario” brackets.
Mirage 2000D-RMV: Move it from 12.7 to 12.3 in Air RB. It makes no sense why an aircraft that is very limited in armament is still at 12.7 and not 12.7.
Object 140 - It’s a sidegrade of the T-55, it doesn’t need to go up
Valentine I - Same BR as Matilda? Are we fr right now?
AMX-32 - Sidegrade of the Leopard 1A5
Begleitpanzer 57 - Nobody asked for it to move up? It was fine as it was?
MSC - It was a sidegrade of the Leopard 2A4, didn’t need to move
Merkava Mk.2D - This one is just ridiculous. One BR step lower than the Leopard 2A4? For what? It’s slow, unarmored, 6.7 second reload, and a mediocre round. Hell even the TTD which will be the same BR and is pretty mid will blow it out of the water.
Al-Khalid - Again, no one wanted it to more up so why is it going to be the same BR as the M1A1 when it’s so much worse?
Ratel 90 - Why? It’s a slow, paper thin bus the ONLY thing it has is a good penning gun. Gaijin clearly listens to their “muh historical accuracy” crowd too much
Reasoning: The Long Scan cycles of the Radar combined with its atrocious RWR and a crippling lack of ARH missiles make this plane completely useless in the current BR brackets as it has to go up against Eurofighters, Rafales and other ARH slingers constantly already, with the F-16 spam coming in addition. You can only beat a dead horse so much before it gets pointless. The F-15 which has much better radar and a working rwr gets to be at 13.0 in sim.
At 13.0 the Su-27 can also be a counter to the Fakour Spam that is the Wall of missiles being sent directly to any aircraft taking off.
nah the chinese F-5A shouldn’t be 11.0 too just off AIM-9Ps, just because thats where the F-5E and F-5AG sit.
F-5AG can’t move up because the F5E FCU is 11.3.
it’s not much use if he listened a little to people’s feedback the 2s38 should go up to 11.0 or 11.3 that’s what the community has been asking for years it’s generally a better HSTVL except that it’s Russian and premium so gaijin isn’t going to touch it
