The problem is not that the F-4C is too high, no. The problem is the Su-39 is too low. They decompressed = good. They did not decompress nearly enough. By now we should have had at least BR 15.0. At least! I am sorry, but the F-4C, flares or not, does not belong below 11.0.
Bruh I can’t imagine something worse than Aim7C
good luck with an A2G missile that pretends to be an AA missile
How is it justified? Who does it hurt in the lower BR? I am actually curious.
Anybody still believe that devs (balance office) are playing their own game?
It’s a mach 2 capable aircraft facing trans-sonic aircraft. It’s just not fair. This is why they need to decompress from the ground up, not the other way around. That being said, them F-104’s sealclubbing sabres and Mig-15’s outta go to +10.3.
This is clear evidence that they do not do it.
No and it’s Very very Common
Because you don’t spend your Free time at work(or school) either
Its funny anyone thinks they do these changes to make the game better LMAO all they did was take every op plane they just had a sale on and made it useless pretty scumbag of them honestly f4 facing f16’s half the week in sim is just an actually joke
You want to see J7E which is 1990s plane face against F15s?
I definitely feels the same for F104. right now as it is, 10.0 is probably a good BR for it, things like the Milan, hunter F58 or the AV8s should be moved up to decompress the BR below.
However I would question if the F4C is that good. It is outturned by most of the other things in the BR bracket, like the Mig21 or the F8U (Which is ridiculous to be still at 10.0 btw), and it needs a very long time to get to mach 1, while mach 1.3 is the fastest you would usually go in an actual combat.
Also, subsonic aircraft is not guaranteed to be bad , you still have some incredibly OP plane like the Ariete if not because of the all aspect missile of course, subsonic above br 9.0 is usually top notch and would not fear something like the F4.
Your F-16A wont just be one step below ARH planes, youre on the same br as the Mig-29SMT, F-4F ICE and Tornado F.3 AOP all of which with 4x AMRAAM (other then the SMT ofc which has 6x R-77*). Not to mention sitting above planes like the Harriers which also have 4x AMRAAM
Yeah I know, it was already bad enough fighting at 12.3 when you were forced defensive 90% of the time because people keep launching SARH missiles at you in headons.
decompressing 11.0 11.3?
now i know why my 104S/taf will still face the same old planes as before the “decompression” fifirst game of the day 12.0 game
Its a joke really because as ive said before, the Gripen A also has 6x Aim-9M whilst having HMS, the option SARH and a ton more flares at 13.0
Many of these changes are nonsensical, but hey we should’ve expected nothing less from the snail.
This change isnt “decompressing top tier” its “decompressing 9.x and 10.x br ranges”
Which is a good start but far from a done job
I suppose thats what i get for continuing to believe something universally positive will happen
F104G, S and S-ASA deserve to go 1 br lower.
F104s are not like magic or something, definitely does not deserve that
As I wrote:
The new SIM EC rotations are not active yet, still the old ones.
The F-16A(France) being 13.3 doesn’t make sense.
If your BR spread is set up so that a jet without any BVR capability is playing against ARH then it’s too compressed.
You’ve made the F-16A(France) pointless to play.
Why would anyone ever use it when the F-16AM is only .3 BR higher and has a much better loadout.
You need to either start to think about changing the BR spread to ± .7 or decompress 11.0 - 14.0 more
