The J35XS is overBR'd

I’ve finally got the time to get back to the game, and thank you for showing me the link to get all the replays, because I looked for it pretty hard and just got the answer that I had to save it myself.
I lost very nice game videos that I’ll be able to retrieve now thanks to you.
So I found back the game were I’ve been killed by a Hornet, but there is a tweak, the guy called himself F-18 Hornet, and was driving a Su-39.
So on one hand, it’s a mistake on my side that I totally assume, on the other, the SU-39 is BR 11.7, that blows up the +1-1 BR rule too, as the J35XS is BR 10.3.
So that little detail finally put aside, I’ll catch up with all the comments.
Already saw some interesting input with the chaff thing that I’ve put aside because I wasn’t supposed to meet SARH from a tuto I saw on Youtube.

Su-39 is now 11.3 in RB. Which means its only a 1.0 BR difference between the J-35XS at 10.3 and the Su-39 at 11.3

When did that change? I thought the Su-39 was 11.7 across the board. Is this why the Mirage is randomly 12.0 now as well?

Su-39 moved last BR change middle of Feb

Which Mirage? 2KC-S5 moved from 12.3 to 12.7

Premium Mirage, it’s now 12.0, not 11.7

Mirage F1C-200 has been 12.0 in AB and RB for a long time. I dont ever recall it not being 12.0 in RB.

Was 12.0 as part of the decompression: Decompressing Battle Ratings for Top Aircraft and Accompanying Changes to Stock Weapons

Its 11.7 in SB though.

Ah, that’s why I thought it was 11.7, thanks mate. I’m used to fighting it in Sim, since no one plays France

How long did that take you

What game mode are you playing ?

RB is +1/-1, but it’s always been possible to see +1.3/-1.3 in AB.

Casually seeing F-15Cs in MiG 23ML in AAB

Lot of words and no evidence of you in a solo match experiencing that situation.
So far it’s a screenshot of you bringing a tank as part of a lineup of unknown vehicles with 2 unknowns in your squad.

Either way this is about J35XS which is currently correctly BR’d.

Don’t really understand the response to my question, and if you’re just being hyperbole here with this 23ML/15C thing or something, but AB BR’s are more complicated than the RB system where it just goes by highest BR.

I believe there is a whole section on the wiki explaining the formula.

Like for example, if that game you played with the Maus was arcade, and if his lineup was Maus (8.0) along with a 7.3 and 7.0, his overall BR when entering the matchmaker would have been 7.7, making it possible for him to face your 6.7’s. So that’s working as snail has always publicly stated it should.

(Likewise, if your lineup was 6.7/6.0/5.7, you’d be classed as overall 6.3 making it possible for your 6.7 to fight a 5.3).

No, I was agreeing with you. I’ve seen F-15Cs while using the MiG 23ML and Su-39 in Air Arcade.

J35X is a terrible plane, but it definitely needs to stay at 10.0-10.7, so it is correctly BR.

Damn forum wasn’t letting me reply because I had to wait 6 hours for being a newcomer, lol.

Seems like all mysteries are being solved, also I brought some chaff in the battlefield and apparently that’s what was missing, I get way less killed when I’m high in the sky now.

Giving that plane a decent machine gun wouldn’t be overkill though, in my opinion.

Ah, that explains that then

I still maintain my hatred for that… thing, but I’m glad you figured it out. I hope it serves you far better than that thing served me.

I watched some tutorial about how to use it, if you keep it to the zoom boom zoom tactic you can get some kills, nothing spectacular but a steady grind.
Though it tends to become very boring with time because every single game looks the same.
If you drift from that tactic it becomes very erratics and harder to get some kills, so it’s better to get some ground howitzers as it is almost the only thing you can kill with your machine gun.
Not fun, not much, but still helps to give a steady grind.
Any dogfight will be harder because of the speed bleed and the slow accel, and real bad machine gun.
I mean, some planes sometimes go right through your salvo without being even hit.
It doesn’t happen when I use the MIG21Bis or the JA37C.

I’m going to be honest, the MiG 21bis is the only thing that kept me going with Sweden. I am honestly glad I got done with Sweden when I did, because I honestly do not think I could actually grind Sweden with how terrible it seems now, especially with the multiple Grippen nerfs.

The Grippen is an amazing jet, but with how four other nations having it, you are honestly much better off getting the Hungarian, Thai, or even the South African version. Easier grinds that actually gives you decent jets on the way up.
