Again the F4F isn’t anything new though? Its a tale as old as time itself. Sweden using JA37D against Mig 29 and F16, italy with F104 vs F4E and Mig 21 ect ect. The F4F was in a better spot compared to the other vehicles as it had a radar that was on par with the same weapons as its opponents. This wasn’t true for the Tornado or Viggen though which was for an entire year. (Also flareless J35D vs Mig 21 and F4E so again the F4F was never the worst top tier jet.)
Again this wasn’t a new problem but it was handled much better than in prior years imo. Still id like gaijin to avoid such problems if possible since id rather no nation get left behind.
From people complaining back when it was Germanys top vehicle. Which they ignored that outside of it just being a meh chassis it was on par with its opponents from Radar, RWR, and weapons. The F4F only got stronger when it got unjustly put to 13.0 against far weaker vehicles, it was never a bad vehicle. It was simply just forced to fight against better chassis’ for a few months before more decompression and similar worse vehicles were added for it to fight at its own BR.
The F4F gets bad wrap because people only say its bad because they remember when it was first added and it may have been their primary nation which = worst experience compared to all other nations.
i thought (depending on version) gripen ng/e gets 3 extra belly pylons, don’t think it gets more wing pylons. fairly sure it’s stuck with 4 wing pylons
Top tier was 13.7, which was much less favourable for 13.0s as it meant they were getting more uptiers.
The increase in 12.7 ish premiums also means that the 13.0 matchmaker is quite favourable now, especially with how they can no longer face 14.3s
