It got moved down for no apparent reason as it compares very favourably with Bagley that remained 4.0. It has fewer torpedos and lacks the shield on the fwd. 5" guns but also has significantly better secondaries. Other stats differ only slightly.
At 3. 7 it’s supposedly equivalent to starter DDs such as Germanys T22, despite having better guns (5in vs 4in), much more ammo, and access to HE-VT which more than compensates for the T22s extra 3.7cm secondaries.
I’m an F-15 fan, but I think that the F15A to 12.7 is too far. Although im suprised the F-15J isn’t foldered underneath the F-4EJ KAI, especially with how big Japan rank 8 is now
Since the sole reason of its br raise previously was due to its fairly effective capability of anti-ground with APDS, while, it’s anti-air capability is absolutely abysmal due to Terrible radar , Fire control and no stabiliser.
I believe it is justified to reduce its battle rating due to It’s inferior AA capabilities compared to most SPAA around its BR range , while Having similar or slightly worse anti-ground capability now without the special 1 in 4 APDS belt.
Similar reason to Above, It does not have a radar and it’s only niche Was APDS Mix with its belt to provide a superior anti ground capability, Now that it is gone , It has no niche compared to every single same BR SPAA in anti tank warfare Wow, having literally no anti-air in this Br environment
Absolutely not, it is easily in the top 3rd of all 13.0 planes. Moving it down would mean the F-14B, all Harriers, Gripen A, F-16A, and several other 13.0s would all need to move to 12.7 or 12.3 in order to make a premium not blatantly OP. It’s even better than the already OP F-18C earlys.
Reason: With only 14 rockets and mini guns that do nothing to enemy tanks it has very little use, maybe give it scouting or something, because ATM its uesless.
Su-27, Su-33, and J-11 without Fox-3s are 13.0. Not saying I agree with the F-15 change but idk how equivalent I’d say they are considering they can carry 27ERs and ETs and more missiles in general.
This is a extremely powerful with a tool for pretty much situation, along side a stabiliser, while yet sitting along side vehicles such as the Mars 15, T95E1, & T-55A.
The true issue here is compression in the 8.0-9.0 bracket and this is a good first step to fixing that.
All the 14.3’s going up while all the premium Su30’s (Su30MK2 AMV, Su30MKK) staying at 13.3 is crazy. I’m calling it right now that it should go up to 13.7 or it will dominate the 13.7 - 12.3 BR bracket
