Server Update 16.07.2024

Can someone please explain to my who thought it is a good idea to put the F-16As at the same br as the f15As,M4k and JAS39A, Why? Also i thought this decompression would finally make the phantom variants separate brs but the F-4J(UK) is still the same br as the F-4S. And the problem still exists of the former 11.3 facing arh slingers

11.3 feels a lot better now too.

No more MiG-29s, F-14s and alikes while playing F-4E is an absolute pleasure!

EDIT: Nevermind, STILL can face F-14s. I was just being lucky enough not to get uptiered for a moment there. Ugh…

Not bad.

It realliy made F-5C obsolete. F-5C cannot compete with the amount of MiG-23’s it faces, even if it’s in the same team still cannot compete with them due to their speed and armament. MiG-23 and F-4 variants get to battlefield faster collect everything, refuse to elaborate and leaves basically.

and all these cosmetic changes have zero impact in terms of playability. You completely grind out any player skill by throwing 32 people into one battle, each with 4 to 8 rockets. Some planes have a negligible amount of flares, radar missiles eat everything close to the ground, your crappy EOMM for anyone who goes even a little bit beyond this shitty average massively throws total intellectual trash into the teams to lower the effectiveness and finally you have a takeoff simulator with a 2-minute flight and a 30-minute flight. second mill as on AB. It is important that the queues are packed because 90% of the cattle at ARB are only engaged in the start simulator. The number of lvl 15-30 with a high-tier premium plane with 1 frag in 4 battles is so huge that you could just as easily play with bots and there would be no difference

It’s always nice when they do this!

am i the only one finding 320 big chaff at each pod of the aj37 a bit broken? also the pods on the ajs37 and the aj37 are not configuriable in custom loadout

Phantoms aren’t bad at all and all of them getting upped in BR was part of the decompression. The J/S/Spey variants going to 12.0 is a bit overkill, but that’s only because Gaijin arbitrarily decided for the top BR to be 13.7 instead of something more sensible like 14.0 or even higher.

It’s almost like the majority of planes at 10.0 and above got their BRs upped. 11.0 is fine for the F-5A and C, the originally planned 11.3 BR for the F-5E would have been fine and the FCU would have gone to 11.7 accordingly.

Same thing as with the F-5s, they were above 10.3, so they got their BRs increased.

They can compete even with their current FM, they got the 12.0 BR to be in line with the former 11.3 Phantoms.

The Kurnass 2000 and F-4EJ Kai have the same BR right now. They are both above the F-4S.

Having a max BR of 13.7 doesn’t allow for enough wiggle room to give the F-4J(UK) a BR that is lower than that of the F-4S.

Fix the type 93 its rear wheels are clipping into the ground and thus its suspension bounces when driving and makes its mobility worse

Other players mentioned before some odd BRs.
What’s about the Sea Harrier FR.1 and (e) Version…
One is 10.7 the other s 2 steps higher at 11.3
Planes are nearly identical. The higher one has 2 missiles more. That’s it.

Also pls review some planes at 9.3/ 9.7. Now a lot of enemy missile slingers ere uptiered and the best 9.3 planes will have an far to easy time …*cough … Mig19

I totally agree with you, these Tornado need to go down (for some below the BR11) because we all know that in dogfight they are really not worth much. But Gaijin and many players have nothing to do with these planes.

These BR changes are so stupid I dont even know where to begin…
VEHICLES THAT DON’T HAVE AIM-120 or EQUIVALENT ARMAMENT SHOULD NEVER HAVE TO FACE VEHICLES THAT DO.

Example F-20A 12.7 ? This plane does not have the ability nor armament to go up against 13.7 vehicles slinging aim120s or its counterparts. Instead of decompressing the BR you just shifted the problem further up the tree.

Holy shit these BR changes are unbalanced and were clearly done by someone who has no understanding of the game nor the planes let alone plays the game themselves.
WTF is someone supposed to do in a F-20 against planes carrying up to 4xaim120s and 4 aim9m with a 45round flare/chaff dispenser ?

Seriously what moron looked at these BR changes and decided yup totally fair and balanced .Did they hire some new moron and put him at the helm of these changes ? The Max BR for realistic air should be at least 14.3/14.7 this is ridiculous .

@Stona_WT the name of the modification for the RVV-AE is still called the R-77 for the J-11A

None of them should go down. The F.3 and ADV have to be at the same or even at a higher BR than the J/S/Spey Phantoms. The Ground Attack Tornados are fine at 11.3/11.7, just like they were fine at 11.0/11.3 prior to this update.

also i just realized, the mig23 ML can now face the f4C in a downtier what the fuck lol
edit: the mig21 bison can also now face the XS in a downtier

i mean its the countermeasure pods or having guns so

i agree with most of what you said in that post except that.
the mirage F1C(picking that because i flew that) is not on par in performance to things like the F-4J for example.
i played both extensively and pure flight performance, the F1C is definately worse then the F-4J.
the F-4J has a much better radar with better radar modes, better and 4 good SARH missiles instead of the mediocre 3 of the F1C and arguably better acceleration then the F1C.
the F1C does have the 2 magic-2’s with their IRCCM while the F-4J comes with only 4 AIM-9G’s but that doesnt really make them on par.

the F1C could go to 11.7 and it wouldnt become a balancing issue in my opinion.

but still 320 chaff are enough to drop them like in rows of 50 to like kill every incoming radar missle

In sim mode F-15A has BR of 13.0, while Su-27 has 13.3. They are in different setups now so they won’t meet in the battle. Is it supposed to be one of those not funny jokes?
