It is a very competitive fighter at 11.0, moving it there was the right choice. Just because some players struggle does not mean we should put it down, think of what a good player can do in an F-5 of any variant. Every thread that has come up on this matter it has been proven the F-5C is competitive and the perfect example of a what a 11.0 fighter should be. Please reconsider this.
Vehicle: Fox
Gamemode Ground Realistic
BR Change: 7.7 → 7.3
Condition: Noticable nerf to the shells which is suggested by the undefined changes in the doc, if there is no change, then it shouldnt move.
(@Stona_WT Please can you comment on what the changes for the Fox’s APDS will do)
Reason:
it has:
No Stabiliser
No TVD
No LRF
No AGMs
Lowest fire rate of any Auto-canon in-game
Poor off-road performance due to being wheeled not tracked (also quite top heavy and can be highly unstable on rough terrain)
Limited protection
If its pen is dropped significantly, then it no longer justifies the increased BR and so its BR should drop down to 7.3 to put it on par with other equivalent IFVs
Then why are you even arguing? if it’s engine is worse than 10.3 MiG-21 then it being at 10.7 is not that big of an issue. again, the missile is not half as good/as much on any plane in the same BR, hell, it’s easier for me to get a Gun kill in J-7E than actually wishing my PL-5B to hit all it’s target, it has the same Flare resistance with Magic without the benefit of a Magic and Magic is a 10.0 missile.
MF/SMT is at 10.3, 21bis has extra pair of missile and better engine. and MiG-23 has SARH and Flight performance that is heaven to earth compared to J-7D. Plus MiG-21bis Saffir is miles better than whatever crap they put in J-7D.
These Merkavas have extremely lackluster mobility and protection compared to other tanks at the same BR (example Type 90 for mobility and arguably even protection at times or MBT2000 or Al Khalid which has better armour and mobility for China at a lower BR).
It can’t. Not disagreeing with it going down to 11.0. But the worst it can face at the moment is something like the Tornado ADV or Phantom now the F-14s are going up. It could never ever even see F-16, Gripens or Su-27s as they are all greater than 1.3 BR higher than the Kfir Canard at 11.3 (MM is a max +/- 1.0)
Reason: Dont deserve a br increase because it lacks the armement. It has only 4 spikes that are aimed upwards. Non crewless turret that can only stop 14.5mm. The aps is only good for Rpgs. Compared to the namer 30 is worse in all aspects then speed. KF41 is most comparble with the vilkas which is still better because of it crewless turret therfore it should stay at 10.7.
Im gonna propose some changes to aircraft not on the list.
The Strike Tornados. Some are 11.3 some are 11.7. Even though they are functionally the same in Air RB. The different BR is due to some getting laser guided bombs. Now that we can have separate BRs in Ground RB (which should remain the same) they can all be put at 11.3 in Air.
Sea Harrier FRS.1 (late) at 11.3 and FA2 at 13.0 are at the same BRs at the AV-8B (NA) and AV-8B Plus. At first glance they all Harriers. The 11.3 ones get 4 x Aim 9Ls and the 13.0 ones get 4 AMRAAMs and Aim 9Ms. However the flight performance is so much worse on the Sea Harriers, they should not be the same BR. And the FA 2 can only take 4 AMRAAMs if it sacrifices both its guns. The FRS.1 should be 11.0 and the FA2 should maybe be 12.7 (or the AV-8B should be 13.3).
We SERIOUSLY need the J-35A moved down tier, it struggles massively at current BR (in air RB), gaijin pretty please with a cherry on top (im asking nicely)
These vehicles have been left at 8.0 as a relic from when they had airspawn and before they were hit with many nerfs. Now with the MiG-15 and F-85A-5 at 8.0 it is time to move them back down to where they belong.
ground rb, j32b lansen. 9.3 > 8.7.
interceptors and fighters that have limited ground attack options should have a lower br in order to more effectively deal with cas.
RB, Pantsir-S1 11.7 > 12.0 (if not 12.3). The best SAM at this point. It can outrange everythink. 10.7-11.3 Ground strike aircrafts do not have a chance against it. e.g. Su22M4 (NVA) or Tornado IDS
