…yeah, A 8.0 plane can handle a G.91 YS just fine…
Yes it would be better to decompress as always but this is hardly one of those times.
I have both, no clue what you’re talking about, they perform similarly.
Lol, if a 8.0 shoot down the YS … It’s just a skill issue !
I killed a Mig-23 once with my Venom. Do you think gaijin should down the Mig to 8.7 ?
They don’t ! The G.91YS Retains the energy far better.

I’ll rephrase this.
Let’s take the F-104. The F-104 is an absolute pain in the ass for everyone it faces when it gets a downtier.
Why? Because it’s incredibly faster than any other plane at the BR and below. You will occasionally find the idiot F-104 who turnfights, but most know it’s a boom and zoom fighter and will play it like a boom and zoom fighter.
And boi, the F-104 zooms, in a downtier, when played like this, it is quite literally unreachable by anyone. No plane can catch it, no missiles can catch it.
What about the G.91 YS then? The G.91 YS is a relatively good turn fighter, and at 9.0 it would overall have the edge on most planes. It would not be unreachable, however.
An F-104 in a downtier cannot be killed no matter the amount of planes trying to kill it, a G.91YS most assuredly can be killed when ganged up on. There is no shortage of plane that can keep up at 9.0, or even 8.7 (the Sea Vixen for instance is almost as fast).
So yeah, I think it’d be fine at 9.0, worst case scenario, it would be good in downtiers and would still get absolutely shit on in uptiers, which is the case for a lot of planes at this BR already.
I want the BRs to be decompressed just as much as any other guy, but let’s be real here, Gaijin decompresses BRs once every blue moon.

I mean, sure it can. Vautour IIN (late) at 8.3 with its radar missiles or MCLOS missiles combined with good speed.
Edit: not disputing the fact the F-104A/C is very potent. but People facing that aircraft very much have the alternative means to force a win condition
Edit 2: i dont really have much to comment on the flight performance of the YS, but given its BR is probably rather potent in that department
I can’t say I’ve ever seen a Veautour kill an F-104 but in theory, I could see it sure.
And yes, battles can be won other ways, and generally they are (I think ticket bleed accounts for over 50% of all wins), so I don’t think the G.91 YS would break everything apart like the Saggitario 2 once did.
It flies well, don’t get me wrong, it’s just at a BR where flying well is no longer what matters. It doesn’t matter how well the G.91 YS can turn, when at the same BR some planes have missiles that turn better.
Thats just the reality of 9.0 to 10.3. There are flareless jets and high maneuverability missiles that will trash your plane. And it is still very much a BR where maneuverability is important. As one can tell by the aircraft in the BR range that dominate.
If you are struggling with the high G missiles, keep in mind you can drain the energy of magic 1, and R60 very easily by just doing barrel rolls. Still works on Aim-9P/J/L, but less so.
At low altitudes that greatly limits their effective range
Oh I’m not struggling. Just like everyone else, I’m not touching the G.91 YS haha. Every blue moon I take it out, the battle is over before I get there, and while it is fun to dodge 2-3 missiles, you don’t get points for dodging missiles, you get points for killing things, which the G.91 YS very much cannot do unless it faces idiots

You have both but you don’t notice the difference between one and the other, I can’t tell you much more, without further ado, it’s not worth talking about it anymore. We agree that the br of g91 is not correct, nothing more.
Bruh you want to see your Me 262 C-2b face against G.91YS?
Yeah im late to the jet party and i started researching the late italian tree… Jesus Christ it’s so hard to do anything against enemy jets… You need a lot of skill and enemy has to make a mistake or you’re not getting a kill.
Italy needs more jets + little changes to br… Or maybe they are in the right place and enemy needs a br change i dunno. All i know is that it’s not fun to play their jets.
It’s BR is high because of RGB performance and Gaijin doesn’t want separate BR’s for planes for mixed battles.

It’s funny as hell when Gaijin say that sort of mechanic is supposed to be impossible, when they’ve already done something similar with the different BRs for arcade, realistic and simulator battles.
I genuinely don’t understand why they’re so hell bent on keeping BRs as compressed as they are.
Planes having same BR in ARB and GRB is really ridiculous and is hurting loads of planes for no real reason.

You think the G.91YS is fine to face 9.0s? Really?
Incredibly specific and rare aircraft, not sure what you’re trying to say here
Yes, if they’re flying extremely specific aircraft and picked that aircraft BEFORE they hit battle, yes.
You don’t know anything about it but ASSUME it HAS to be good because of its BR? Do you hear yourself?
What changes would you make?
That an aircraft in a full downtier can have an incredibly easy time dealing with a F-104. (at least for the BR difference you would expect it to be harder). And its a tech tree vehicle, so while you dont see it often, its not exactly rare.
im more commenting on the fact you dont need the worlds best aircraft to deal with a F-104. Offcourse if the F-104 does everything right you have to resort to other win conditions, but that is the case with a lot of one-trick ponies.
Me reffering to the flight performance of a G91 YS as being potent by the fact how the comment im responding to describes it as such and dedused by the fact it is at 9.0, so it has enough of that to be at that BR.
It was described as:
The G.91 YS is a relatively good turn fighter, and at 9.0 it would overall have the edge on most planes. It would not be unreachable, however.
Fine by me if you want to dispute how the person i responded to described it. Again i dont have much to comment on the G91 YS as thats not really what my comment was about.
I played a few games with it during the Winter event - so that should hap push its performance towards a lower BR!!
