Vehicle: F-2A ATDW Gamemode: Air Realistic BR Change: 13.0->12.7
The F-2A ADTW, while good lacks sufficient armament to compete with the other 13.0s such as Su-27s, the AAM-3 is good but the AIM-7M is terrible at 13.0 either give it a 7P/MH or move it down just like the F-15A etc
Vehicle: MiG-29G Gamemode: Air Realistic BR Change: 13.0->12.7
Literally what do I need to say about this plane, its equivalents are the Su-27S and Su-33
Both of those vehicles are vastly better in flight performance, avionics and have more of the same missiles
There is absolutely no reason for the MiG-29 to be at the exact same battle rating.
It is one of if not the worst 4th gen fighters for dogfighting, has SPO-15 with low countermeasure count and just two long-range (although good) Fox-1s with R-73s letting it carry 6 missiles max (2x Fox-1, 4x Fox-2 or 6x Fox-2)
Compared to Su-27S which has up to 6 of the same Fox-1s allowing for 4 R-73s on a vastly better airframe with 98x large caliber countermeasures
Then with the Su-33 there are up 8 of the same Fox-1 with 4 R-73 and while it has just 48x Large caliber countermeasures, it has a digital RWR which lets you reliably identify enemies and notch fox-1s or fox-3s.
Not to mention both flankers having significantly better fuel amounts compared to the MiG-29, able to carry more fuel than the fulcrum (including the fulcrum’s fuel tank) easily, letting them fly around longer in a match
you do realize its fighting the exact same stuff right? even at 12.3 like the only things it wouldn’t fight right now is like 2a7s which aren’t that much harder to kill than the 2a5s which it can already fight. it doesn’t need a dart at all
Comparable in every way to J6K1 (6.3), and despite having two less guns it has higher total RPM on its 20mm cannons.
In Simulator it also benefits from amazing visibility, very forgiving handling and strong flaps. Combined with its great roll rate it is EXTREMELY strong.
Reason:
2S38 and LVKV 9040C are both lower BR with the ability to carry as many darts as they please within their ammo load and 2S38 has a reliable alternative round (APCBC).
Otomatic’s SAPHEI is worthless for anything more than track and barrel shooting once you run out of the 12 APFSDS trying to defend yourself and often gets outranged by allied SAM systems at the BR.
Vehicle: Ki-61-II
Gamemode: RB
BR Change: 4.7 → 4.0
Reason: Its performance is almost identical to the Ki-100. Ki-61-II is ~20kph faster and Ki-100 has better maneuverability.
Seriously, this thing isn’t even close to equal to the other planes moving to 14.7. Some higher up has to be a massive super hornet fanboy, because even most Super Hornet fans online don’t cope this hard.
What do you mean it’s stupid good? You don’t even own it to even feel the pain of playing it. You have a perfect dogfighter jet at a BR where only missiles count. Before you even get to use your dogfighting capability you will be dead or out of resources to fight further.
