The J-35XS currently sits at the exact same BR as the F-4EJ ADTW (11.3) which is absurd because of the weaponry. Firstly, the Japanese premium mentioned in the previous sentence has a better weapon kit and more A/A weapons. Secondly, the J-35XS has to face a ton of all-aspect FOX-2 launchers as well as FOX-1 launchers which is not good considering it has 12 countermeasures which is a painfully low amount when there are so many all-aspect missiles. You can bring chaff to counter the FOX-1s but that reduces your flares to 6 which can’t do anything, especially with the R550 Magic 2 at a similar BR.

Why did he get 11.3 and constant fights on 12.0?..
because people were making a high income rocketing bases with it, but that got gutted
Acting like the F-4EJ is somehow good or something to aspire to be is incredibly funny
gaijin when the premium vehicle makes premium rewards:
the J35XS is so completely shit right now i’d honestly rather be flying the F-4EJ, at least it can bomb bases

Just don’t act like the F-4EJ is good
It’s really bad and I constantly complain about it, but at least it has almost 9x the countermeasures that the J35 has.
at least you aren’t going 250kph falling out of the air after tapping the elevator once in it
They need to be bumped down in BR
The recent battle rating changed were quite unreasonable, many aircraft’s ratings being overly inflated. The J35XS, for instance, could have continued to be somewhat playable if not for the restriction on using rockets for base bombing. However, it now has to contend with J-7E and F-5E, which, despite having lower ratings, possess superior air combat performance. This isdisappoint me.
