Gaijin doesn’t care what the players want, they carefully plan each vehicle so that top tier is balanced
Even with the new aircraft… every nation is balanced and capable

The version proposed for Japan would not have a cannon, and could not carry missiles from the R-73 inclusive.
arguing about this for an entire week straight is crazy work
On one hand, you’re partially wrong on Gaijin caring. Cause they do care what players want, and that matters for understanding what to focus on for balance.
You’re not wrong on aircraft tho. 11.3s might struggle and a BR decompression might be needed after a few weeks of live fire 9Ms & R-73s, but 11.7 up all deal with each other rather effectively.

That’s the thing, there’s no way they should come to the game now, but I think it’s fair to relax the rules a little once those vehicles are no longer even close to top tier.
While the F-14 is exclusive to the US it definitely shouldn’t come to Japan either, only if they decide to add the Iranian F-14s at some point as those are truly interesting with all sorts of new and unique weapons that Iran has fitted them with.
The SU-27 I’m less struck on as it wouldn’t bring much to the tree and it being a Soviet design would make it look out of place
But Japanese pilots did test the SU-27 as the Soviet Union was trying to open up towards the end of it’s existence.
I’m not wrong gaijin is a company that needs to make money, if they gave players what they want it would only upset the balance at top tier and hurt profits
Everything that the 12.3-12.7 jets will fight is capable of firing a missile
11.3 won’t struggle for this reason because they can just fire a missile
Some 11.3s are fine, such as F-4J & F-4S cause they have 7Fs and countermeasures.
But stuff like FG1 & MLD? IDK if they can compete.
To make money Gaijin need to care about what players want, it doesn’t mean they’ll give them everything they want but people spend more money the more they feel they’re getting out of it so Gaijin have to care about what players want

I haven’t played the MLD, however I have the MLA, and I did perfectly fine against MiG-29’s, F-16’s, and F-14’s. Of course, I was outmatched, but using the tools available to me, especially the R-24T, which people generally tend to not expect, allowed me to have some 3 and 4 kill games in uptiers.
Yeah some BR decompression is needed.
although the Mirage F1 getting IRCCM Magic 2s at 11.3 has gone quite under the radar, I wounder if they’ll get moved up at some point.
Fine we just give R-73’s to Germany because players want it? Yeah I think not. That would be unfair
I’m currently grinding French air, and when I heard about the Magic II buffs, the Mirage F1C became one of the vehicles I’m looking forward to playing the most.
If the German MiG-29 got them and moved up to 12.3, it’d be fine.
1: Where did I say that?
2: Germany should get the R-73 as their MiG-29s used the R-73, they did not however use the R-27ER?
3: I said they have to care, not give in to every player’s demands, a parent cares about their child but doesn’t give them cake for breakfast everyday even if that’s what the kid wants.
At the cost of a 12.0 BR gap? What about people who want to fly a 12.0 plane for Germany?
There will always be gaps in BR’s for some nations; that is unavoidable. However, if it is necessary for Germany to have a 12.0 fighter, the MiG-29G could be added with R-73’s at 12.3 also.

I mean what about the people who want to fly a 11.7 jet for Germany now?
There is nothing wrong with a small BR gap.
I doubt any German players would complain about their MiG-29s getting the R-73.
F-4F ICE tho.
If given AMRAAM’s, then it’d likely be 12.0 or 12.3.
What about it?
