Why is the Taiwanese F104G at 10.7?
Gaijin can we please fix the Taiwanese F104G’s BR placement. Why does the Japanese F104J have nearly the same flight performance stats as the Taiwanese 104G while being at a lower BR with more missiles. Playing this plane at the crisp BR of 10.7 without countermesaures has got to be the worst experience ever. Please lower the BR…

both are overtiered, the F-104 starts losing its speed advantage at and after 10.0 so there’s not much keeping the 104G and 104J from being 10.0. and ontop of that, no flares.
Because the JP F-104 doesn’t have napalm, so it has to actually get air kills to earn points, thus generating less score per game and a lower BR.
Same thing keeping the F-104S at 11.3/ 11.7.
Notice how despite having a lower K/D and both less air and ground kills the Chinese F-104 has a far higher SL/RP per match average? Napalming bases.

Ahh I see, but don’t you think 10.7 no countermeasure is a bit unreasonable? I mean getting put into games with MIG-23’s with long range IR missiles is not fun. However, I feel that the 104G is in a difficult spot.
All Rank 7 F-104s are one BR bracket higher than they should
Some also have fictional loadout
My mapping would be:
F-104A > keep at 9.3
F-104C > keep at 9.7
German F-104G > move to 10.7
Italian F-104G > move to 10.3
Taiwanese F-104G > move to 10.3
F-104J > keep at 10.3
F-104S > move to 11.0
F-104S ASA > keep at 11.7
Hypothetical ASA-M > 12.3
