Naval Vessels
A message about critical damage appearing in naval battles and in the battle results has been fixed.
Patch notes reflect only key changes, meaning they may not include a complete list of all improvements made. Additionally, War Thunder is constantly being updated and some changes may not require an update. Changes reflected in patch notes are formed by taking reactions and requests of the community from the bug reporting service, forums and other official platforms into account. Bug fixes and changes are implemented in order of importance, for example a game-breaking bug will be worked on and implemented sooner.
i would rather have AIM-9M and a HMD over crappy 7Ms literally any day of the week, and the flight performance of the gripen is just as good if not better
Love the idea of decompression but there is so much wrong with it (why is the Grippen A with hmd an ABSURD amount of flares and Aim9M at the same br as F-16ADFs with Aim9L and no hmd for example but the belgian F-16A with out acess to radarmissiles is .3 br higher)
I hope it is gonna get rebalanced
why just cant let the same era fighter fight together, like why F-4 always need to against F-16 F-15, when they only got older missile? why just cant balance with the plane spec instead of player statistic?
Over this patch I am glad to see a good chuck of those concerns resolved, including:
Tornado F3/ADV raised
Mirage F1CT lowered
J7D lowered
F4EJ kai lowered
F104G lowered
JA37C added
Those are good, but I am still concerned with the following aircrafts:
F4C. If you were really that concerned with its A2G capability, 10.3 is the max I would personally accept to play it.
F8U is intact. IT HAS CM and it is very powerful even OP as it is around that BR before the patch. It deserve to go up by one tier.
If F5C went to 11.0, why not F8E?
J7E should not remain on 11.0. It is day and night difference to J7D, PL5B is a better missile over all than the Magic 1 (PL7), not to mention the chassis is absolutely one of the best in the game.
J35XS, which is a good comparison to the J7E, should go down to 11.0. It straight up does not have RWR and with a good but worse chassis than the J7E.
F104 ASA is at 12.0. Seriously, it does not make a good competition to the tornado ADV. 4 Aim9L does not justify its BR.
Mirage 2000D. So Kfir C.2 is justified at 11.7 but Mirage2KD has to go to 12.3? That thing is 12.0 at best, magic 2 is not the entire world.
Now that F5A and F5C is at the same BR, F5A is essentially pointless.
I still think we need massive decompression over the top tier, it is essentially intact, no way you can fight Aim120 with Aim7.
I think there are still a fair few issues with these changes.
Mig-29G 13.0, same BR as F-16ADF and other F-16’s??? Mig-29G has R-73, and HMD.
Gripen A also 13.0 same BR as ADF and other F-16’s. Gripen has AIM-9M and HMD aswell.
F-15 also 13.0 same BR as ADF and other F-16’s? F-16 is a better airframe (my opinion) but like the AIM-9M’s make such a big difference that I feel F-15’s with IRCCM missiles should be atleast .3 higher than the non IRCCM carrying F-16’s.
F-5C and F-5E same BR??? The F-5E is just better.
I havent even looked through the whole thing yet sooo ima keep looking and see whatever weird changes I find.
All right. Now J35XS have to avoid AIM-54 with RWR’s absence and 12 countermeasures, fight MIG-23MLs with an enchanted plane that loses its energy in one turn, and meet sarh missiles without bvr missiles.
I think it will be very thrilling and fun to play one game while playing J35XS.
Still compressed like absolute hell baby, mere 0.7 does not solve everything. They effectively decompressed all the way up to the original 11.3, but not anything afterwards.
