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

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

Any date for it tho?
Because the F-16A doesn’t have radar missiles.
For the sake of 13.0 and 12.7 players, please, seperate the match maker between ARH matches and SARH matches.
I have no access to such info, sorry. I’m just a GM. = /

f-14a and b had up to 6 radar missiles, they must be higher in br than f-16a
idk about the A since the RWR is a major problem, but B could totally be justified.
