‘If he really has a PC account’ I think so.
but as @quartas121 said, It is not his fault.
Yes. his second account(as he claims) has too few play counts with a small batch of planes.
So its statistics only affect the bad way to his theories. I think.
I have both agree and disagree with his claim,
I think F-14A IRIAF is a 12.85-ish material which can’t stay both 12.7 or 13.0
too strong on the current 12.7, but sending it to the current 13.0 might be too brutal for them.
It needs to be higher than F-14A USN, but it can’t be the same BR as F-14B.
Yeah but moving the IRIAF to 13.0 I don’t think it will totally kill the performance due to how abundance player whose using this aircraft, especially with Mirage 2000C-S5 going to 12.7 (which mean some people will get interested to play Mirage 4000 again), F-16A Block 10 going to 12.3 (which mean this aircraft would spike a new popularity after the BR Changes).
BR Changes doesn’t always meant to kill vehicle performance (again, IMO), it sometimes also changes the trend of its BR, that’s why although a decompression would be good, I don’t think the 12.0 bracket would see less 13.0 matchmaking after this change. Since there is still tryhard player that think themselves as Tom Cruise and would still play the IRIAF even when its placed as 13.0.
Because compared to the 12.7 Jets? this thing is barely above “mid” relative to them.
It’s only when you compare its kill numbers against 12.0 and 11.7 jets (which just so happen to be predominantly premium players) that it starts to seem absurd, until you stop and actually think about it.
This is why raw numbers don’t tell the full story unfortunately.
I’m confused by what this means? Just because people play it doesn’t mean it’s suddenly not relatively speaking bad? People still play the Su-27SM and relative to most of the 13.7s that thing really isn’t great. (Even though the FM buff was a huge W)
Also the 2KC-S5 is likely not going to change anything for the french player base as that plane is still going to be a monster at that BR.
but it has ARH missiles that perform reasonably well but is it at a lower BR than most ARH slingers.
On Paper. Even the Sea Harrier FA2 should clown the F-14A (even the IRIAF) all day long. But… not everything at 11.7/12.0 is perfectly equipped to handle the F-14 like a Tornado IDS is for example. Though I do think its a skill issue more than a true performance/vehicle limitation issue as well just bad map design
Taking a middle point here, both the Premium Clowns and the F-14A IRIAF spammer are brainless and both needs to be punished.
I do also love the F-14 especially the B variant especially during the F-14 still the only Fox 3 Carrier in the game. I’m not trying to bragging here, but I rather bring Sparrow than Phoenix due to most enemy wouldn’t aware that Tomcat can bring Sparrow.
But with how the trend goes, I kinda just give up if this cool aircraft gets nerfed, because at the end of the day, most player prefer the meta play style rather than suited to their own niche.
Over the last few updates, this vehicle has been greatly weakened.
HVAP rounds are now shattered by armor and its anti-tank efficiency has been greatly reduced.
There are no uppers or nerfs with respect to driving performance or anti-aircraft performance, so this should not be a reason to go up.
If the BR is to be raised based on better anti-tank performance, it is inconsistent with Ostwind’s -.7 BR stance, since that one is far superior in anti-tank performance, with improved APHE performance and the ability to cause ammunition induced detonation.
A BR of 5.7 would make anti-tank combat even more impossible than it is now.
If you really want to increase BR, equip the fictional DM63 and change its Rank to V to increase BR to 8.0. I’ll gladly use it XD
I see you’ve kept Canberra B2 at 8.3 because of it’s two 4000lb HC bombs
Well Ju 288C has two MUCH LARGER BOMBS 2736kg TNTe rather than 1782kg TNTe and it’s sitting at 6.0
It may not be a jet but it’s also extremely fast for it’s BR and has defensive armament.
Just a thought
The F-86K compared to other 9.3 aircraft is woefully underpowered. It has inferior acceleration, slightly worse top speed, and at best comparable armament to other aircraft at the BR. The acceleration difference in particular is extreme, being as much as 35% slower than many other fighters. On top of that, it is also less maneuverable, while also having a worse radar than other fighters at 9.3 that are equipped with one. Even bombers with a full payload can accelerate as fast or faster than the F-86K, while also having a similar top speed (though admittedly much worse maneuverability, primarily due to carrying more than 5 tons of extra weight). At 9.0 the F-86K would still be inferior in many respects to other aircraft, but not to anywhere near the same degree as it is currently.
It needs to be higher than F-14A USN, but it can’t be the same BR as F-14B.
it would be great if Gaijin had decompression-ish things on this BR change, too.
It needs to be higher than F-14A USN, but it can’t be the same BR as F-14B
But Gaijin just ended up sending F-14A IRIAF 13.0. :/
Subjectively, I feel good and happy bc I didn’t liked Tomcat supremacy before and am not a big fan of F-14A IRIAF.
but Objectively, I think this situation is an awful way of getting rid of F-14A IRIAF.
Typical Gaijin movement.
