The Vautours need saving

The BR&Rank of all but 1 Vautour being 9.0 and Rank 6 is insane.
They need to be rank 5, and 8.3/8.7 max.

I’ve seen previous forum discussion with how the BR was 9.0 due to GRB, but with the abundance of split BRs now for planes in both game modes, I think there’s no reason to keep it suffering.
It is subsonic in a tier where even the slightest uptier guarantees you will not outrun the competition. Its flight characteristics do not allow it to dodge gen 2 IR missiles, and the lack of counter measures does not play to its benefit.

Perhaps the IIB and IIA TT variants should be 8.3 as pure bombers without much offensive armaments, and the Israeli IIA with the 9Bs to be 8.7 as it possessive some, even if somewhat bad missiles (on par with the IIN late at 8.7)

Additionally, an Airspawn being returned to these planes would be sensible.

We see this BR principle applied to the F117! Air BR 8.7/Ground BR 10.0

Maybe its time we give these overlooked vehicles a breath of fresh air? They’re some of the conceptually coolest for their era

SO TRUE! The only Vautours that could even stay at even 8.7 at most are the Israeli ones with their AAMs. The Vautour IIA/B variants all belong at 8.3-8.7 arguably, and the case could be made for the Israeli Vautour IIN being placed at 8.7-9.0 if it got its historical Shafrir 2 AAMs it’s still lacking.

Without their airspawns, they’re just free food in Air RB given some lack bombsights, others lack guns, and they all are subsonic without any CMs.

ngl I feel kinda scammed for the bomber (Israeli) Vautour I bought years ago. Since they removed its airspawn it’s effectively useless.

Same, its genuinely frustrating
