What is the logic? 2 identical planes with 0.6 br difference
The Italian AMX A-11 Ghibli, 10.7 fair, and the Brazilian A-1A, 11.3, are useless in this BR in any role.
I would like to know the logic behind Gaijin’s decision to give two planes that are literally the same, and with insignificant differences in armament and sensors, a 0.6 BR difference.
Maybe someone can explain it to me, because it seems like I didn’t get enough breast milk when I was little and my brain didn’t develop as it should have.
The only difference between the Italian AMX A-11 Ghibli and the Brazilian A-1A that really makes a difference is the internal cannon, which for aerial combat favors the Italians, with the M61A1, and for ground attack favors the Brazilian, with its DEFA 554. The weapons for ground attack only change the name, in practice they are the same.
And the Air-to-Air Missiles are balanced, both with their advantages and disadvantages.
The Brazilian A-1A uses the MAA-1, which has great acceleration, higher top speed and pulls a lot of Gs, but it is a flare and a miss, has a shorter burn time and shorter guidance time, greatly reducing its range, making it more useful in head-on and/or ambushes.
The Italian A-11 uses the AIM-9L, does not have as great acceleration as the MAA-1, its speed is lower, does not pull as many Gs, but on the other hand it has an engine that burns for longer, a longer guidance time and better resistance to flares.
I honestly do not see any advantage in the Brazilian A-1A over the Italian A-11, none that justifies a 0.3 BR difference, but they think that a 0.6 BR difference is fair.
