They Are Holding Back the Kfir

Why is the Kfir C.7 at 12.0?

It only has 4 missiles (sure, those are Python 3s, but they are not as amazing as simply having, like, 6 slightly weaker all-aspects).
It has the option to carry additional guns, but only at the expense of missiles being removed. It does have a middle pylon (or whatever you call it), so it probably should be able to put an additoinal gun there, but we don’t have that in-game and perhaps it was never possible IRL. Please lecture me about it, if you have the required information).
Has access to 30mm DEFA cannon, that are decent, but don’t have a lot of ammo and are not quite accurate.
Is maneuverable, agile and fast, but mothing too special at this high rank.
Doesn’t have any access to guided air-to=ground munitions.
Can only carry up to 36 countermeasures.
Can’t even lock it’s radar on enemies.
Only has access to IR missiles (is this historically accurate?), no SARH/ARH.
Terrible stock grind - not only that you start with just two bad missiles, the good ones are in the last rank of the modifications, and oh man, there are so many modifications - 23 in total, out of which you need to research at least 8 before you get to the Python 3s.
It sufferes from a serious G-force problem.
Often (doesn’t even need a signtificant uptier) faces F-16s etc., leading to certain death by radar missiles.

What do you think, does the Kfir C.7 deserve a lower BR?

  • Yes, I think it should get it
  • No, I belive it’s good as it is now
  • I don’t really no, why did you even ask?

If you voted ‘yes’, at what BR do you think it should be?

  • 11.7
  • 11.3
  • 11.0 or lower
  • 12.3 or higher
  • I voted ‘no’, so 12.0 it is
