Simulator Air BR Rework — Full Technical Analysis from 1.0 to 12.7+ and Systemic Solutions

Perhaps considering making your own arguments instead of just regurgitating whatever generative AI spits out?

@MoxieMachine

“considers frags, assists, caps… all bundled into one universal metric.”
“Efficiency… gives us a very well rounded perspective on how it’s actually being used.”

Note that the AI has changed its response to not actually indicate that Gaijin has said that SB ratings are tied to RB performance. Also note that frags, assists, captures, etc all still happen in Air SB. Those are not metrics that are exclusive to Air RB.

@MoxieMachine

This means BR is based on aggregated player performance (kills, assists, etc.), and not on SB-specific factors like cockpit visibility, radar workload, spotting difficulty, or real flight model handling.

All of these factors have direct impacts on what a planes average performance in Air SB is.

@MoxieMachine

If there is an official Gaijin source showing SB uses its own dedicated statistical BR model, feel free to provide it.

The fact that the battle ratings in sim are entirely different? There are planes in Air Sim that are at dramatically lower battle rating than their RB counterparts. Consider the following; in the most recent battle rating update the LF IX Spitfire was moved to 6.0 battle rating. The exact same plane is at 5.0 battle rating in sim.

I agree with every point, but the last one being “11.3-12.7+” is a bit disingenuous. Should definitely separate 11.3-12.3 and 12.7+ because zero 11.3s will face ARHs even in a 11.3-12.3 bracket
