Server Update 16.07.2024

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.

developers completely forgot how impactful IRCCM missiles are apparently

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.

Honestly you guys remember the time in WW2 bracket where 100hp difference or plane with a slightly better gun can justify for a BR?
Now look at 10.0+, and you would realize exactly how insanely compressed it is still.

J35XS to 11.3 while F-5E only 11.0? That’s even more insane than the initial proposal.

and the whole 13.7 maximum BR increase is only about preparing for new batch of 13.0-13.3 premium planes, nothing else. Couldn’t exactly slot FOX-3 equipped premiums into 12.7 with old maximum. Too bad that yet again the demands of accounting department will directly lead to crippling balance problems.

Setting aside a few things, nice changes, in general! Specially the stock weapons.


Now on another topic; when can we expect a similar (or even more drastic) decompression for ground? Compression there is extreme.

This post is specifically targeted towards the high tiers, but the truth is the whole ground node is too compressed.

Looks like the 104S Will still be painful to play

HMDs even work? I tried radar lock with them and they’re completely dysfunctional.

Mig-29 12.7, uFo-16A 12.7 seems fair

It’s so weird. We, on .ru forum, are forbidden by the rules to make such topics. And here on the .com forum - it is possible. What’s the inequality?

It’s funny, by the way. They broke the whole balance completely, I hope they undo their changes

But 16AJ/ADF at 13.0

And Grippen too. With 9M and HMD

U realise that in squadron battle basically every plane for 10.3 br disappeared and u still have strelas and york to cope with…

MiG-29G with R-27ER and R-73 at the same BR as the ADF seems balance bro

Also - as a French main it is painful to bring this up
Mirage 2000C series should be raised to 12.7, if I am being honest.
Along with F14A.

You are just gonna ignore the absolutely horrible chassis and garbage avionics right?

The 29G is the best of the Mig29. It is lighter, while its engine is more powerful. The only thing is the radar is worse

Yeah that’s totally gonna matter as if u were dogfighting at that br

Yeah but it still does not even wins Mig23 before nerf in a dogfight. Things like mirage or F16A is untouchable for the 29G. If the chassis of Mig29 series is still gonna be this unrealistically bad then I have no problem for them to stay.

Still matter in BVR, you are gonna bleed all of your speed in the first turn of cranking, and lose all of the energy

Because all the F-16s are overpowered. They don’t have to go to the angles of attack that they can in the game.
