Yes, it will be. I fly the thing. It is unbeatable when played correctly against subsonics… you can literally win ratefights in a spiral climb against some subsonics if you don’t piss on the throttle and yank it around… it still is a much higher energy plane than subsonic korean era jets.
Reason: is comparble to the Mig 21Bis, Mig23M/Mf and F4 phantoms that got a br decrease in ground. JA37D has worse ordanace but gets better missiles (aim9l). So it’s a perfect counter part to the Mig21’s, F4 and Mig23. And comparing JA-37D with Torando IDS you see the JA-37D has better flight perfromance and countermeasures
But as a trade of way worse ordance and rwr.
This warrents a decrease in br in ground.
It doesn’t have to be, its to separate it from the earlier MiG-17 variant because we don’t have enough BRs yet to decompress further than that. Lim-5P is closer to CL13B than CL13 Mk5 to me but I am not perfect in knowledge here
Absolutely. This is what I prefaced my original post with.
Perhaps pre flight model nerf, the sustained turnrate of the J35 is not good now, even if you are careful with it and hold your speed well. Statsharks puts it at 13.5 deg/s and this is with minfuel
But look, I agree with you man, we’re just a victim of the compressed brs. Lets not argue anymore, you seem sensible enough
Ground realistic, JA-37C 11.0 → 10.3. Reason: is comparble to the Mig 21bis and Mig23M/Mf that got a br decrease. JA37C had less countermeasures, worse ordanace and worse missiles (only rear-aspect) this warrents a decrease in br.
Reason: Slight better ordanace the the F104G at 10.0. Get access to limted amout of aim9L’s. This warrents higer br. But comparing the F104S.ASA with similar aircraft at lower br like Torando ids (10.3) you see that the F104S.ASA has worse payload, way worse agility, RWR and amout of countermeasures. But it has better speed. Hence it should be at a comparable br (10.3)

The F-104S.ASA RWR does not give information on the direction of the incoming missiles. How is it supposed to defend against a fox-3 missile that can kill it from across the map
The MiG-23MLA has an RWR with no launch warning and only four sectors. It is IMPOSSIBLE to gauge the angle of an incoming missile precisely enough to be 100% sure you can notch it with only 8 directions available to you on the RWR scope
You dont think about this. You only think about your precious plane. Its better to make one plane weak than to have a whole family of planes suffer.
Air Simulator Battles, Ariete (Italian aircraft), 9.0 > 9.7
The Ariete has extremely strong guns, some of the best maneuverability, and a TWR that makes it faster and better-accelerating than everything it faces, on top of being an incredibly small target. At its current BR, nothing can even come close to beating it if not flown as poorly as possible. Even at 9.7, it would be stronger in a dogfight than anything it would face, but at least there would be an answer to it, rather than have it dominate matches to a degree that is just oppressive.
Again, you don’t need an RWR or countermeasures to decoy the Phoenix/Fakour. When you enter the notch and beyond, the missile cannot track you anymore. That’s a fact. You don’t need to precisely notch it. Just fly away. It’s really as simple as that. Please stop asking.
Louder for the ones at the back. These RWRs DO NOT GIVE INFORMATION ON WHAT DIRECTION THE INCOMING MISSILE IS COMING TOWARDS YOU AT. So it is therefore NOT POSSIBLE TO KNOW WHERE TO GO TO NOTCH THE MISSILE.
I dont need a notching lesson. Im not the one dying to these missiles. Im standing up for the vehicles that cannot defend themselves against them.
I will not be lectured by someone with five vehicles listed on their statcard. You literally have not played any other vehicle at the BR (apart from the F-4S).
Both the F4J UK and F4EJ ADTW absolutely NEED to go to either 11.7 and 11.3, respectively. I think the the UK also needs to drop to 11.3 but I understand it has better radar than the ADTW and skyflash. But the ADTW is worse than the F4E.
