LOL 8.7 A-4H???
A-4H was fine at 8.3 since when it comes because it is just A-4E with worse engine and worse loadouts.
Which was just overtiered.
It was fine at 9.0 BR compare to other 9.0s, but it has somehow moved up to 9.3BR.
Biggest joke is Yak-23/Yak-30 now have same BR with MiG-17 and CL, F-2 lmfao

Well I am the guy that started playing during the pandemic, but I do indeed care about balance. However, finding US and USSR planes dominating is something that is relatively historically accurate. But for our game plays we do indeed need more balance.
A-4E is the one with the worse engine.
A-4H is known as the aircraft that memes on Mig-15s.
WIth a sea level thrust of over 3200kgf, bringing 800kg of fuel, 4700kg empty.
A thrust to weight of 0.582:1, which is how it out-verticals the Mig-15Bis’s ~0.52:1.
A-4H was always a better Mig-15Bis.
In ACM situation, compareing their T/W is completely meaningless because differences aren’t huge.
Also, A-4H energy retention is very bad, and 1C is not basically meta in ARB so, making it almost impossible for A-4H to win unless the MiG-15bis pilot is dumb.
A-4H energy retention would be bad if it had A-4E’s engine.
Mig-15Bis has to force the A-4H to do a rate fight or it loses, and it can only force that with allies.
A-4H is faster with a larger engine, and an A-4H pilot as skilled as the Mig-15 will disengage the Mig-15 to take out third parties before returning.
A-4H holds the player’s hand in air to air combat.
Haven’t had a guns-only aircraft as easy to use for air to air since prop BRs.
Not even Mig-17PF/LIM-5P and Sagittario 2 are as easy, and I love those things.
The difference in climb rate:
A-4H: ~65m/s. 123 seconds to 5000 meters.
Mig-51Bis: ~50m/s. 170 seconds to 5000 meters.
It is not only in rate fights, but also in vertical fights and counterattack spam at low speeds, where the MiG is far better than the A-4H because MiGs landing flaps works insanely good.
As soon as I finish working on my sound mod, I will have an A-4H vs MiG-15bis duel with my friend, who is one of decent duelist entire the game. Anyway, there is a reason why at least decent players don’t spam the A-4H in favor of it.
A-4H isn’t spammed for the same reason P51H5NA isn’t: People are unaware of their power.
A32A especially had nothing to do with Sabres and MiGs. Aircraft are not changed based on what else is that time around, only on player stats.
I don’t think gaijin is biased for any reason other than these jets are the most played and they don’t care about the minority. It’s not BR compression’s fault either as again, the PEERS did not go down, only the MiG/F-86s.
Obtuse point to make that disregards much nuance/context. Trying to act like minor nations were not making competitive jets is a joke. There’s a reason France has the industry it does to this day and why planes like the G.91 got around
BRs are decided on vehicle capabilities, and sometimes player performance compared to light-vehicles indicate that.
BRs are not changed purely on player stats and have never been.
Ask that for CL-13A Mk.5 and F-40 Sabre in late 2018.
It was one of reasons why it moved up to 9.3 in early 2019.
Thanks for proving my statement correct.
Players used those Sabres and got KDRs and KMRs higher then their other aircraft of same-BR, which of course caused indication for a potential increase in BR.
Edit:
OP says everything they say is wrong cause I agree with their takes more times than disagree.
As proven here, they’re saying that they’re wrong on points 1, 3, 4, and 5 in their initial post:

You obviously don’t know what happened to those Sabres at that time.
It changed BR because the matchmakers changed and everybody started spamming them.
Had the performance of the aircraft itself been considered, the CL-13A would have stayed at 9.0, let alone the F-40 Sabre, but unfortunately that was not the case.
I still remember when I play allies side but, enemy team was almost full of CL-13s
The player “Glitched” also organizing an effort to manipulate the BR of the CL13 Mk4 intentionally by try harding in it over a weekend also proved this.
Weird of you to claim you don’t know what happened then type exactly what happened.
So how are you and I wrong when you’re saying the same thing I did…
I know him and have conversations with him from time to time.
It was one of funniest moment in recent years lmao.
He didn’t. You can’t read.
@USA_PilotsAreBad
He said that this following statement is wrong:
Then made an effectively identical statement.
So where is the proof that this is wrong? Where is the proof that players didn’t do that?
All Nestle’s post did was agree with my statement.
Even you agreed with my statement.
