The JA37 FM needs to be reverted or the BR lowered

The J35F’s combat weight with full fuel is 10024kg.
I set the J35XS mass to ~10050kg when I was testing the FM.

35XS is a F2, which is heavier…

25

Seems strange that the XS would weigh more, what source was used for the weight of the XS i wonder. Again its strange that the XS weighs more than the F despite the F having more avionics and general additions to the pylons. I cant imagine them being so similar in weight without something else being the main difference for weight, especially since the
Second gun was removed for the IRST module.

Additionally almost all J35’s reach the same speed in a straight line despite them all having different weights and engine values. That may have been changed but i remember someone talking about this, ill have to find it again.

My bad the A is slower as it has the weakest engine though it does have a much lighter frame.

The source material used was the JA-37 manual;

The Mig21 was rejected due to difference in the manual and in game being within acceptable margins for Gaijin.

39

I thought they reverted against the change, my bad if they did get changed

MiG-21 (all variants) — steady turn normal acceleration has been reduced by G ~0.2.

This is just a small bit from the original nerf, so they didnt do a full nerf like they originally planned.

I can’t quite agree to the J7E bit, sure you have worse maneuverability, but that is why J7E is at 11.0, it hasn’t got a radar.

Does it not have the Saffir J-band radar? Either way, I had a dogfight with one pre-nerf and it still out-turned me.
