Nearly all 13.0 aircrafts do NOT have the ability to fight against high-performance active radar-guided missiles.The av8b+ does have armaments,but it’s not even supersonic;the f15a/j have only aim7m,which is usually easy to dodge with only a high-g barrel roll;the mirage4000 has quite much magic2,but what can it do when all of its enemys dont even get close to it?The br is still so compressioned

The problem is not the 13.0s it’s the 13.7s.
They can’t be uptiered, only ever downtiered. This happens every single time and there is only 2 fixes for it. Add a mass of 12/12.3 premiums to drag things down or for 14/14.3s to be added to drag 13.7s up.
It’s tricky what can be done. Short of moving the 13.7s up to 14.3 so they play in a vacuum you will always get uptiers and they will always be hard work

the problem is that 13.7 cant be uptiered because its top tier. its the same with 11.0 for grb
We need 14.3 to ensure Fox 1 only jets don’t have to face Fox 3 anymore

You can get an uptier to 14.7. You will not see anything except 13.7s in such a game.

Yeah so why not uptier all the 13.7s to 14.0 or even 14.3?I think that’s more reasonable,and diversity encouraged

Change this around but for everything with only IR and SARH with 10km max range vs aim 54.
Yeah the 2 (3 soon)f14s are too advantaged with such long range, shoot-and-forget missiles. "Easy for other aircrafts to do 39 maneuver or high-g barrel roll, but difficult for f14 pilots to splash missiles. "I think some of the f14 pilots are becoming new bombing monkeys.
American mains will tell you its just an easy skill check. While ignoring the fact most players are bad and 4 pheonixes in the air is almost always at least 1 kill, which is just braindead as bombing bases pretty much.
You can toss out 8 pheonixes a match pretty much without fear of being touched which is just oof.
Not really. So top tier is only a handful of aircraft and they play in a vacuum? Sounds more boring to me and renders some of the aircraft almost unplayable.
I assume you’d want even quite weak aircraft like the SHar FA2 and AV-8B+ uptiered as well and that would render them DOA. Even many 13.3s like the F3 and ICE are dependent on downtiers for even a chance at a kill.

I believe in theory that 13.3 can be updated to a ghost 14.3 (ie, every plane in the lobby will be 13.3) but obviously it rarely happens because 14.3 does not exist
14.3 should definitely be implemented, I want to play my F15J/F16AJ and M4k in peace
