So guys, patch release early next week or the week after?
We don’t know.
well yea it does when you run out of missiles what do you do? rtb like a loser or embrace the dogfight?
Doesn’t the MiG-29 outrun the F-16?
Look if you wanna go all in on a gunfight you’ll probably lose be my guest, but the fact is the SMT can just RTB when it’s out of missiles.
You can’t just argue that having better missiles doesn’t matter, better missiles brought the SU-25 from 10.0 to 11.3
You can try and argue all you want that having a 40G thrust vectoring IRCCM missile isn’t a huge shift in balance but the fact is, it is.
Please I still have like 3-4 million SL to grind to get ready for this update, please I nedd a bit more time.
The slow start of this update compared with what we end up getting really caught me off guard in terms of my SL balance.

what su25 are you talking about lmao
su25t and 39 were both 11.3 prior to the missile, literally one look at live proves this wrong cuh
The BM, you know the one that actually has the R-73
I know we don’t know but usually people kinda work it out, with a margin of errors of course. There is also a release date in the dev server which is often accurate within a day or so (but no means a guarantee).
Well, going from the AIM-9J to -9L was enough for the A-7D > A-7K to cause a .7 (10.3 to 11.0) increase, so its clearly a cut above. I can’t wait to see the A-7F at 12.3 with the AIM-9M.
Good luck, friend.

It has more than just R-73’s that lead to 11.3.

Exactly, missile upgrades always come with a big bump in BR, the fact that the SMT only went up 0.3 from the 9.13 is pretty uncommon for how much better the R-73 is from the R-60
The Su-25BM bump includes the Kh-29T’s and KAB-500Kr’s, not just the R-73’s.
The MiG-29SMT has those, but the impact is substantially less at 12.3.
and you know its “subject to change” br from where?
no its the fact 12.3 is the max br now
Except they introduced a vehicle that should be 12.7 to be at that BR
The 9.13 and F-16 were balanced against each other, they were equals, the SMT gets an upgrade of R-60 to R-73 from its predecessor and worse flight performance.
The F-16C gets a HMD and worse flight performance from the A
If they were balanced before and the Russians get a bigger upgrade then they are not balanced now
I have a hunch battle rating 12.3 for fighter aircraft toptier rank 8 could last up to mid-december this year
This month aircraft toptier rank 8 12.3 is the max battle rating

Bhishma got LRF (i dont know if it had lws), but it is tier 4, unlike normal T-90 and most late T series tanks (T-72, T-80).
i mean… yeah? its not like a lot of people die to the 9L anyways so the majority of F-16 kills come from the 7M’s and the occasional gun kill. 16’s are a lot easier to fly in general so, relax lmao
unlike missiles your gun is something you can actually rely on, since you cant rely on whoever youre firing a missile at having a skill issue and is somehow still incapable of flaring properly at top tier
Ok so the US has 2 usable missiles in your mind and thats ok?
