Top tier should be 15.0. I don’t have any justification but it should be 15.0
I disagree
/j
Because of this
it should be 15.3+
;)
Even better!
the justification is that the lower BRs need top tier to be substancially higher (17.0+) so that they themselves can see the decompression thats been needed for 10+ years
Gaijin did 14.3 in December of 2024/Early 2025. Gaijin is now doing 14.7 in early 2026. Gaijin will grant your wish of 15.0 in early 2027.
Awww :(
This is wrong. 14.3 was added summer (second half) 2025.
14.0 was the new br for Storm Warning, then almost 5 or 6 months later in 2025 14.3 came.
14.7 was kinda needed when 14.3 dropped, but it took them another half year.
Gaijin is willing to decompress. Gaijin is also unfortunately, very, very slow and overly cautious doing so, they prefer raising BR’s and decompressing over stupidly long periods of time.
I think they’re just really scared of upsetting their golden goose.
It’d be nice honestly, gives more breathing room to the ARM-less 4th gens to grind them out, as well as earlier 3rd gens from getting absolutely rofflstomped by them.
If 15.0 was a thing they could have moved the premium Su-30’s to 13.7 and give some breathing room to the 12.3-13.0 br range.
Nothing is stopping them right now, as the evident taboo implies that premiums can not be higher than top BR minus 1. Which is 13.7 with these changes.
Like how we had prems up to 12.7 when top br was 13.7
With storm warning it moves to 14.0 and shortly after viggen DI goes live.
Same with 14.3 and 13.3 ones lately.
At the moment it is a deliberate decision not to move them.
Fair point
The fact we’re getting 5th gens next year that should be 17.0 at a minimum and we’re at 14.7 as a max is extremely concerning. We should easily be at 15.7 by now and by the time we get next gen IR missiles we should be at 16.3
Jets with next gen IR going to fight jets without them would be really painful. Might just stop playing 13.7 uptiers whenever next gen IR added. Also they even compressed br range of 11.7 to 12.7 by moving F-15A to 12.7
3 br step increase in one year for gaijin (13 months) actually makes it seem like gaijin is benevolent
I think you typed 18 wrong.
i agree 15.0 br is very good or even higher
18 would be too much for gaijin thats why i went with 15
15.3*
