Planned Battle Rating Changes for February 2025

No, its just frankly by far the most annoying jet in its bracket and overperforms relative to other 12.7s. Ask for decompression ALONGSIDE ME so we can BOTH have our way instead of whining that I’m not blindly going along with compression and event vehicle bias.

Also this makes zero sense. Get checked out.

Sub-I-II
Ground RB
5.7 → 6.0
Give it spotting as its better IMO at ground than at AA with its really good mobility.

Fat disagree, There’s absolutley no excuse for the IRIAF to be the same br as the A with better missilest han the B, PD Headon is slightly annoying but can be played around, the f-14 airframe is also perfectly capable of performing reversals against stuff like the Eurofighter. From my experience with the IRIAF and fakours, they are about 5x better than the amraam and other fox 3’s in terms of hit chance, it deserves to be 13.0 if not 13.3.

And why shouldn’t it share a BR with the F-4C?

Both have no countermeasures.

Both have mid radars.

F-4C gets sparrows while the F-4F Early doesn’t.

F-4F Early is slightly lighter, slightly better maneuvering than the F-4C, but it is still a brick.

Literally, just go play 1 match with the F-4F Early and you will see why my points stand the way they are.

don’t take it so personally. it’s just a BR adjustment request. they get lost to the ether. pay more attention to my others with f104’s and j29 and j32 and would like to see the british f-4j‘s be moved down o 11.7.

Random ? It is one of the many main newspapers about french defense, Wareta has no source, i gave you a source right there i could say the same about Wareta i’m sorry, it is literally the first line with the DGA saying they will have it in service in 2030 for the leclerc XLR so read next time instead of saying nonsense it leads nowhere especially when you have no source and don’t bring other people into it to start with it leads nowhere especially if you are unsure.

I second the call to drop FG.1 to 11.7 and to add AIM-9Ls to the FGR.2 to keep it at 12.0.

ARB, Mirage 2000C-S5.
The only reason people play the Mirage 2000 is not its battle rating, but what it faces in the uptier.
Players play things for what it faces in the uptier, not by BR.
12.7 is 13.7 and 13.0 is 14.0, so nobody playes non fox3 4th gen anymore.
Wouldn’t it be better to add the f16 and mig 29 to 12.3 to add some more variety/competition to see if people like it.

When you play the F-1 you can have an opinion about its performance in 10.0, more when you face R-73 that you wont be able to evade

Because it’s better in every imaginable way.

Tell me you’ve never used said sparrows without saying it.

Tell me how much this matters when you aren’t using SARH missiles.

oml, F-4F is about 3x better in a dogfight, non-exaggeration, than F-4C.

This is particularly important with all the supersonic aircraft in the 10.0-11.0 range that are now decreasing in BR.

I’m not. I’m telling you that if you want decompression don’t humor their changes.

You will face R-73 with this changes, there is no

that will save you

Vehicle: F-104S (and the TAF since they’re virtually identical)
Gamemode: ARB
BR change: 11.3—>10.7
Reason: At a BR of 11.3 and even 11.0 other fighters start to match or outclass these Starfighters in almost every way.
Kinematically, lots of fighters can match your speeds and are much more maneuverable.
In terms of offense, your 20g rear-aspect IR missiles are outdated with a huge chunk of the
competition starting to bring 30g all-aspect versions. The F-104S’s radar missiles are average, but they are set back by it’s poor radar, in contrast to other fighters like the later F-4 which are very common. Not only that, but you have to remove you gun (which is great) just to have this mediocre capability.

I play su27 everyday and have no issues, this argument is tired.

Yeah it is. Bad enough fighting the few at 10.7 already. But its going to see even more in an uptier than it does now

Frankly I feel I have a much better understanding of the jet than you do even though I haven’t played it.

🤷🏻 nah

Go fight against a decent ariete player in a subsonic jet. good luck.

None of the faster planes can dogfight it and the only solutions are to run away or to assemble a gangbang. most planes being atleast able to run away is just fine.

Also it can deal with A-10 and SU-25 just fine in a 1v1 situation, go watch defyn play.

insane asking for such compression
