ARB, Rafale 14.0>14.3
Much like the Eurofighter, the Rafale offers such a massive jump in performance over anything else. But with a very minor BR increase. Outpacing everything except the Eurofighter. Including the F-15E, at the same BR. While being able to fight aircraft without Fox 3s and IRCCM missiles.
F-4J(UK)
Mode: Air Realistic
BR: Stay at 12.0 but add AIM-9L
The F-4J(UK) has inferior missile options than the American F-4J and especially the F-4S at the same BR. With several of the aircraft it can see in a downtier being moved down in this update, F-4J(UK) will likely face more uptiers. Giving it historically accurate AIM-9L would help even the playing field. Especially since this was a frontline fighter for the UK well beyond the time the US introduced the F-14 and F-15.
On a side note: this aircraft should be renamed “Phantom F.3.” While F-4J(UK) is technically correct as well, the Phantom F.3 designation is more in line with the rest of the tree as well as the 2 tech tree Phantoms.

f104j with 6 9p in 10.3 when 104g CN with 4 9j in 10.7 showing how brainless balance groups are

Jaguar GR.1/1A
Harrier GR.1/3/7
Sea Harrier FRS.1/FA.2
Phantom FG.1/FGR.2
Tornado GR.1/F.3/GR.4
but no Phantom F.3 but F-4J(UK)
I just can’t get it why.
:/
I think that it’s fine at 11.3.
Its dogfight performance exceeds that of anything at its BR, and it has an excellent RWR as well. PL-5Bs are fairly good, longer range missiles, and they are quite good. The only thing it lacks is longer range capability and a radar, both of which aren’t super important at 11.3.
Naaahh…
Compared to Sea Harrier FRS.1, J-7E should stay 11.3.
GRB, Rafale 12.7>13.0
The range of it’s fire and forget ordnance, combined with quantity and flight performance make it borderline untouchable in the right hands, even to the best SPAA in the game. Forcing CAP play, while being able to play against 11.7 aircraft that cannot touch it.
Air RB +ground RB
mig-17_f5 9.3→9.0
when cl13bmk6 goes down, mig-17_f5 been forgot long on 9.3
how a mig17 same br as mig19 and mig21
F-15E would join it at 14.3 because the F-15E has both the superior radar and loadout. They are fairly equal. F-15C would then move to 14.0, if it doesnt join the F-15E at the same BR already
Supposedly the F-4J(UK) was actually used a good bit to prevent confusion with the incoming Tornado F.3, but that doesn’t really matter in the game.
oh come on. mig21SMT is getting 10.3 but J7D staying up high? I jus bought that thing with 60dollar gaijin wtf
But how will you know which F3 im talking about :P
Its not like the Gr1, Gr1 and the Gr1 are 3 entirely different aircraft :P
Air RB
tornado_ids_de_assta1 11.7→11.3
tornado_ids_it_mod95 11.7→11.3
what is difference in air RB between assta1, mod95 and ids(11.3)
GRB, Su-34 12.7>13.0
Much like the Rafale, the Su-34 offers a vast jump in performance over it’s contemporaries, without the logical BR increase. Being able to carry 6x fire and forget missiles with a range of +/-20km means it stay at the edge of most SPAAs range, and can overwhelm them with missiles. While staying mostly out of danger. Forcing CAP play with the possibility for players with a true 11.7 loadout to have aircraft without even Fox 1s.
It’s already undertiered, and it should go to 11.0 in my opinion.
10.3 would make it even more OP.
Those laser guided bombs are just too OP in A2A combat

Mode: Air Realistic Battles
Aircraft: B-26C (France)
Change: 4.7 → 4.3
Reasoning: This seems to have been unintentionally overlooked. The American B-26B is at BR 4.3, and the B-26C should be lowered from 4.7 to 4.3, as both are identical.
Mode: Air Realistic Battles
Aircraft: B-29A-BN
Change: 7.0 → 6.7
Reasoning: The B-29A is very vulnerable against lethal jet fighters, as it cannot defend itself effectively with all its 0.50-caliber HMG turrets. Please consider lowering its BR slightly to allow it to face propeller aircraft more often.
Mode: Air Realistic Battles
Aircraft: Tu-4 (All)
Change: 8.0 → 7.0
Reasoning: The Tu-4 struggles to survive in uptiers, especially when facing faster jets armed with air-to-air missiles. It’s now much easier to destroy the fragile Tu-4 with heavier cannons and radar-guided missiles. The Tu-4 is essentially functioning as a piñata. Please consider lowering its BR a little more to 7.0.
I’ve got a post for this too. I love how many of these slip through the cracks but its scary how long it takes them to take note
