Imo my solution is that for the first 5 minutes fighters shouldn’t have CAS munitions enabled which gives CAS aircraft a better chance to do something
True, when the AJS was 11.3 I considered that the worst 11.x aircraft then the A7K was added and the AJS dropped to 11.0 after maintaining a solid .3 KD lol still personally wouldn’t play either in air even at 10.7
You mean ground or air? Like BR
If there was a type of mechanic for which favored strike aircrafts like the Tornado IDS when it comes to taking out bases then I’d be fine with the vehicle being 11.0 but with corrections (like the flare sensitivity of the AIM-9L). The main issue for me is the fact you’ll never be first to a base, and when you divert your aircraft to go for another one, there is always going to be a random teammate going for that one as well.
The MiG-21’s and MiG-23’s are simply better because of this…
Well yeah, I’m all too aware. It’s why I don’t play the Tornado MFG anymore since I spaded it. Well except for ground RB where it’s blatantly under tiered lol. Or maybe I just play Overtiered trash too much
Air.
Like for example. is the Jaguar GR1A really 10.7 worthy?
and pretty much the only reason for the Buc S2B to be 10.7 is because its a fast subsonic with 2x 9Ls, but is that enough? Especially with no gun?
Honestly going from the F-5A(G) to the Tornado GR.1 is just a depressing experience, the F-5A(G) is at 11.0 but with the same A2A loadout as the GR.1 but with a extremely more suitable FM for Air RB.
Yeah the 10.x air bracket is a proper mess
The nerf to the F-5’s and the G are pretty rough though if they hit your nose, still solid vehicles though
Literally only because Gaijin is lobotomised when it comes to BR decompression and the 11.0 to 12.0 BR bracket.

Tbf for a .3 increase you can be super sonic with 3x 9Ls and no gun with wx RB24J and a RWR that’s still used at 13.0
Viggen RWR jumpscare
Yep, that is 99% of the issue. 9.7-11.7 is a mess, IDS should not really be able to even see half of what they do, but they really cant move down far enough.
But getting the 3 main ones at 11.7 down to 11.3 is at least a start. (either that or just add TT versions of the “early” variant to Germany and Britain so that they at least get a IDS suited for ARB/ASB (though I really really want a GR1 Early for GRB))
Though they were testing CBUs in Nuclear thunder, if tuned similarly to Napalm… BL755 might just be enough of a buff to keep them going

Orbital striking with the F-5A(G) is quite fun since you aren’t just a brick, and even if you do miss those AIM-9L shots you can simply go in for the gun kill. The Tornado can’t really do neither at a 0.7 higher BR lol.
Well yeah the Tornado is super weird they are nearly all identical yet because of the ground strike loadout one is 11.7 and the other is 11.3 like wtf
GBUs are just too good in a dogfight

Any form of BR adjustment is something I’ll take, the Tornado GR.1 being at 11.7 is genuinely disgusting (it’s a lot better in Simulator from experience). Couple matches ago I got run down by a MiG-23ML and F/A-18A, you simply shouldn’t be able to see Hornets lol.
I need the secret cause if they warrant that much of an increase clearly they must be doing something right
in ASB its worse, whilst yes, the aircraft performs way better, being a higher BR to the Mig-23MLD and F-111C is just insane
It’s because of the the smart munition, before there were split BR’s. For some weird reason however they’ve decided not to change the BR’s of the Tornado’s with smart munition post split BR’s (they’ve probably forgot and are too lazy).
Split BR’s being separate BR’s for Air Realistic and Ground Realistic
Again the whole BR difference never made sense to me especially for air RB they added the MFG as the lowest tornado but the only difference was ground load outs which later they added the split between ground and air BR’s idk why their air battles didn’t change outside of maybe new players buying their event tornado and doing poorly compared to TT players
Actually that’s probably the reason lmao
