Simulator BRs of all tomcat variants should be adjusted to be the same as realistic BRs

Agreed. They are just too strong in their current lower BRs.

Unfair BRs must be pointed out where they are due. Some people can’t accept this and resort to gaslighting others into agreeing with them.

Some of the unhinged takes in this thread:

Mig-23MLD is a direct counter to a tomcat. (11.7 vs a 12.7)

R-24R has similar realistic range as AIM-7F (he used statshark to come up with this lol)

BOL flares are completely useless on the tomcat

Tomcat is slow

That guy was just downplaying the tomcat and exaggerating the capabilities of the Mig-29, Yak-141 and Mig-23 while having no experience with such planes.

The tomcats are doing fine in current RB brackets and they will do so in SB.

Completely agree. Also, fox 3 gameplay should be completely separated from fox1 gameplay, having a fox3 is simply too much of an advantage. I would push all the fox3 carriers at 13.3 and above, but allowing one rotation a week where these “bad” fox3 planes can be top tier, and with “bad” I mean stuff like the f14, kfir, harriers, mig29smt and similar planes, that ar enot bad per se but of course are weaker than top tier planes. Similarly, I would push down to 13.0 every plane that doesn not have available fox3, so that we can have fox1 only lobbies and at least once a week a lobby with fox1 and fox3 mixed together.
