Gaijin: alr we will give the 9.13 R73 and move it up

Im afraid they wont go up for a long long time unless we get massive top tier decompression, since I doubt gaijin will revert their decision so quickly.

Really funny how the much much worse airframe with way less CMs will be .3 above the far superior airframe with WAY more CMs lol, and i personally take 9Ms any day over R73

Maybe the worst BR change ever made.
Why is the F-15 12.7 when the FA2 harrier blows ass but is 13.0

Shush. I just got my hands on the Baz. Leave it alone for like 3 months.
Also, I should note that Graph spikes aren’t necessarily telling of a vehicle’s performance. Sometimes, when a change happens, experienced players rush to try the vehicle they haven’t played in a while once more. That naturally results in higher kill rates.
You can see this based on the previous spikes.

Yeah, though a few edge cases at 12.3 I do think have that as a worthy argument
It is strongly ironic that the stats argument is dragged on the M1A2T (FOTM) as an example of US players underperforming with their Abrams (and the gap is still falling when compared to dec 2025s M1A2T).
But whenever the F-15A/J/Baz got the slightest breathing room on a single month, the entire chicken coop went on meltdown and complained over a plane which doesn’t really have an offensive game-dictating capability on the current 13.0 meta.
mistake caused by greed if not for the 13.3s FOX-3 slingers none of this would have happened if they didnt under tier them which they did gaijin made this bed we have to deal with it

its kit allows it to viable in uptiers due to AIM 120A
if it didnt have the AIM 120A it wouldnt be where it is just like MIG 29 9.12s with R27ERs
if it carried AIM-7s it probably be like 12.0-12.3 very easily

FA2 without 120 would have 2 9Ms to have BOL. it would be 11.7 lol. Do wish it would go down there. its horrible to play a harrier for BVR.
as far as i know it never had skyflash or sparrow because its a 90s upgrade. So its 9M, AMRAAM and then ASRAAM

it reminds of F18 getting carried by its missiles FM doing nothing for it could use a buff
Barely.
The issue is one of extremely restrictive loadout ontop of being subsonic. I did a match last week in the FA2, and was fine ish up until I ran out of missiles, and due to being subsonic, you have to get close and I couldnt run away to go re-arm, so I was just dead.
Aim-120 fired from an FA2 is not that far off an F-14A firing Aim-54 imo
nah honestly the hornet FM with those missiles makes it really OP for 12.3 and 12.7.
give those 9M and move them to 12.7 and 13.0
probably should have been clearer the 14.0/14.3 hornets
this is true FA2 barely maintains viability F15 was in a similar if not worse state with less options
the F15A in full uptiers is basically a F5E at that br it can only dogfight and rely solely on its AIM-9Ms for kills as sparrows are not ever gonna net you a kill due to there launch parameters unless your lucky
13.0 is compression hell
F4F ICE is amazing plane with a similar kit i think the FA2 needs a FM buff to be relevant
yea those ones are… struggling. but thats primarily because the eurocanards arent decompressed anywhere near enough.
(rafale also needs to be nerfed down to realistic levels)
