Still the FM doesnt sound half-bad for 9.0.
Gaijin please for the love of whats holy make the GRB BR lower on it before you doom the vehicle to a meh usage.
FR though gaijin be like - “lets add a unique plane!”
then gaijin be like - “lets put this plane with no CCIP/CCRP, no flares, no RWR, no smart weapons, no MCLOS weapons in a BR where it will constantly fight SAM and RADAR proxy SPAA munitions, yet alone IRS-T IFVs”
next gaijin will be like - “well, I guess people dont want unique/indian vehicles, nobody plays it!”.
FR gaijin, please can you guys stop adding planes with no ability to defend against RADAR/SAM systems in high end RADAR SPAA/low end SAM brackets xD. I know “statistics” but it wont work out if nobody plays it enough to build some data due to immediately going “nah rather take the scimitar/buccaneer out”.
Also sadge it isnt really able to team up with the Vijayanta at 9.0.
Air RB, might be okay, prob not, but oh well.

why does EVERY SINGLE mid tier jet in the British tree have to be around 1+ BR too damn high to be worth playing.
functionally its just the hunter F1 but a bigger target. and the hunter F1 is extremely over tier, its the kind of aircraft we see at 8.3 in a couple of trees.
instead its going to see nothing but supersonics and early a2a missiles it cant defend from
sigh British tax
No guided missile or bomb, no ballistic computer, no countermeasures no supersonic unless you dive from quite high
Famous argentinian and totally not a nazi Kurt Tank lmfao

What’s the ground battle br for this? Keeping in mind that it has no CCIP/CCRP and flares
its gonna be 9.0 for both, higher than the better plane, Scimitar

ive just test flown it
It’s better than the Hunter F.1 in most ways bar high speed energy retention (but thats because it actually damn turns) and lower speed manoevering, but the hunter doesn’t do that well either
It’s still extremely dead if it even gets anything even suggesting “Slow” though
It Accelerates Faster (Hunter F.1 breaks 500mph on “Denmark” test flight as it passes the Gunboat, Marut beats 500mph about half way between the coast and Gunboat) on min fuel (and this is with being forced to bring Drop tanks and Rockets until i’m off the ground)
Much easier to snap to directions
Max G pull at top deck speed is better (11g v 8g)
Marginally higher Top speed
It’s a direct upgrade pretty much, and its going to be infinitely more meta than the F.1

9.0 on both making it arguably DOA for GRB.
No idea why gaijin seems to enjoy making event vehicles that they cut the legs out from under like this.

Is the Hunter F.1 meta though? NGL I avoid the thing like the plague. If I want to use a gunfighter I go venom.
Neat ! so far im decided on grinding it and hell, maybe even playing it if they ever find cure for my aim with subsonic jets.
not even near, its incapable of getting kills quickly, its realm is high speed, energy draining action, which is hard to do with MiG-17s and MiG-17PFs around, and it has no instant pull, with limited AoA so gunshots are harder to work for, it also has poor low speed manoeuvrability and poor energy generation
the Marut has instant Pull, Better energy generation, same guns, and due to the quicker pull it can get kills faster, although still being rather poor at the lower speeds you should never really get to if you play it properly
It also has Rockets you can bring as makeshift flares for the inevitable uptiers into high power AAMs

The Alpha Jet has countermeasures and ballistic computer at 9.0 GRB. The Marut should be 8.3 or 8.7 in ground realistic battles.

please, no 9.0 - that’s nonsense
compare IAR93 and this plane
the first one has:
- 4(!) air-to-air missiles, though early, but not bad
- not bad gun, which is on planes with BR 11.0
- not bad maneuverability
- good air brakes
- SPO with capture detection
- afterburner
the second one DOESN’T HAVE ALL OF THIS
think again please
how did the GD put all this together??

The last aircraft designed by nazi germany
And just bare in mind…it’s outperforms the hunter F1 which has been 9.0 for years.

I don’t know
I think that UK has good jets: Scimitar, Javelin, Hunter F6, Sea Hawk, Sea Venom, Swift F1
Jaguar gr1 not bad on himself br
I still didn’t fly on Lightning, I know that many pilots scold it, but I saw pilots who did really good work on it
Well, javelin for example. I don’t think has ever been all that good, but recently got nerfed and still hasn’t shifted BR
You mean the Fuel Pump “Nerf”?
It Barely changed a thing flying it
Its got buffed in the last year or so, the change to an all flying tail really helped it, that and it getting its 4x missile 4x gun loadout back
Its one of the most fun jets to fly in RB imo and it does surprisingly well, i like it, even if its highly unconventional, and requires thought to not get hit (the damage model is so bad)
I agreed with Master_Teaz , it’s really fun
I started fly on it just in this year, now I get 66 battles and 109 destroyed air targets
Sometimes I did 4, 5 kills in one battle with it

Yeah,
for me I’m 124 kills to 54 deaths in 69 matches,
Last time i played it back in late Jan/ Early Feb i was getting consistent 3/4 kill games in it
Noone expects you to dogfight in it, and it throws people off when you use its extremely low stall speed and great engines.
not to mention the ADENs are a lot better on the Javelin than any other plane in headon due to the size of the Jav making them extremely inaccurate, but still with enough lead downrange to make it like a shotgun, not like you’re short of ammo either
The IAR also has terrible acceleration, and pretty poor energy retention if it wants to turn well.
If it’s better than the Hunter F1, then 9.0 will be perfect for it.
