Problem is 8.3 BRs dont usually have a means for dealing with it.
The issue is that its under BR’d and seal clubs 8.3 without issue.
The issue that y’all brought up planes that are barely used as a defence to muddy the water is an issue.
Got a problem with the A4? Make a post about it, but no one was making posts about it until 130 spam was an issue that broke 8.3 for a lot of people.
I am on the thread constantly and nobody had made a post in a hot minute about the A4 until their 130 was at risk.
And claiming that it’s suddenly such a game breaking problem is immature and dishonest.
funny, stat shark shows the US A-4E (early) has 40k more games played then the yak-130 despite the Yak being the new shiny
It’s not suddenly, it has been a problem for over 6 years, the Israeli one for 5. The Israeli A-4E is a side grade to the Yak-130, so they are a related issue, trying to claim they are not equivalents is just an attempt to keep one nations OP BS while removing anothers’.
As is pitching a fit over a nation you don’t like getting the same capabilities that other nations have enjoyed and rabidly defended for over half a decade.

You just proved my point? The 130 is only behind the A4 early by 40k games… and its only been out for a short while vs. The A4 thats been out what… years? Shouldn’t be that narrow a gap in 2 months if the A4 was as bad for matches as you’re saying.
The fact you made that whole point thinking it was a dunk not realising that your own data proves that the 130 is oppressive and used way more than the A4 is wild.
If the A4 has been out for 6 years but the 130 is within 40k games after 2 months tells you how little the A4 is used vs. The 130.

Problem is that he is not talking about global statistics but only for one month. In global A-4E (only US one itself) was in more than 26 millions battles. Few more millions for Israeli one.
I don’t see the A4s thst often. With how small the isreali player base is, and the US one being locked behind a squad vehicle… idk how it’s possible that the A4 is being used that much.
As US A-4E is squadron so everybody have that. Its more simple get that as if it was in a technology tree. You only need 2 months to get that even if you are not very active player. And just because you didn’t notice them in the battles doesn’t mean they weren’t there. You simply had your attention focused on more important things than tracking the number of A-4Es in the air.

Nor do I. Ive seen way more 130s in the past 2 or so weeks of using a lot of SPAAs like the Rapier to farm the recent Event than I have A-4s, not saying they dont appear, but it is definetly less common.
I think the excellent handling of the 130s and the sheer popularity of the USSR TT, combined with the very strong and large set of light tanks at and around that BR for the USSR, does make it more popular overall.
We’ll have to see how the July data pans out because it is very very likely that a lot of players simply wont have grinded the 130 yet or at least fully spaded it.
Not saying the 130 should necessarily be higher than the A-4s, but there is a pretty clear reason why it gets complained about quite a bit. Especially in a relatively small time period with vehicles such as the Su-30SM2, BMPT, Pantsir SM-SV and Soyuz causing issues or the overall state of the soviet ground tree at the moment. It was bound to pour fuel on a very very large fire

I tend to stay pretty locked in on assets on the field, especially since I am grind britain and france in that BR range.
Enemy air assets usually lead me to either j out for AA or plan my next spawn depending on what all is in the air.
No, people flock to the new shiny, I’ve also seen it in matches, I’ve been trying to farm them in my Type 93 for the event and I’m seeing at least 2 A-4s for every Yak-130 currently.
240,000 games in a month is more than 200,000 games per month
That’s monthly data, you fool. It shows that the old boring and allegedly under powered plane is still being flown tens of thousands of times per month then the new shiny plane everybody is “spamming”.
Strange, I’ve been seeing the opposite…
I am also not suggesting these planes shouldn’t move up but the suggestion that the Yak is more than the side grade to at least the Israeli A-4E is a bit rich (I already thought it was a bit silly that the USA and Israeli ones are the same BR given it), I would not object to Both the Israeli A-4E and the Yak-130 going up, or the Yak-130 going up alone if it gets it’s CM pods.
How ever it would only be going to 9.7 as there is a certain Ayit in the corner that everybody is ignoring, and if anybody tries to tell me that thing isn’t under BRed I am simply blocking them, it has the CAS capabilities of the Hawk 200s at 10.0.
It’s also worth noting that the SPAA situation at those BRs is significantly better then it was when the A-4E was added, at that point the Type 93 was the only SPAA in the game that had the range to engage them before they could TRK lock (and it had a bunch of other issues that made it rather useless) now basically every nation had a MANPAD SPAA at 9.3/9.7 that can at least return fire which forces them to either take increased risks, or use point lock and toss the bombs in, something the Walleyes, especaly the ER is far better at then the KAB-500s.

Stat shark hasnt been collecting information from 6 years ago because it didnt exist
Look, I learned about stat shark last year. (Also didn’t engage with the forums much before that) But also if the 130 is 2 months old and within 40k game of the A4 it still says something.
Thanks for the pro tip tho
Yea it tells that it’s a tech tree vehicle you can get in a single day unlike a squad vehicle
Yeah, that the A-4 is still being flown significantly more, despite being older and harder to get.
You really believe the stuff you say don’t you?
Because it is provably true, you are the one that is trying to twist the data proving the A4E was played more last month into it meaning the Yak-130 is more popular.

Like saying that A-4E is harder to get than Yak-130 is pretty much discutable because to get A-4E you need only two months of not very active playing so it can easily get even players which dont research US air tree. But it is a fact that the A-4E is being flown significantly more than the Yak-130. The statistics clearly show this.
wonder if people know that the Kab-500KR has like a 4km tracking range lol
In one battle 2x A-4E.

And in next battle:

In this case we shot at him like 4 MANPADs to get him and he was still able to throw at us Walleye.
That A-4E are everywhere.
