How can this be?
Well one is premium and the other is British.
So some guided bombs means that despite the premium having much better flight performance with the same offensive weapons as the GR1 you get an additional +0.3 in airRB and +1.0 in groundRB at least the GR1 wins on that stat. 🥴
Don’t even get me started on the jets you have to fight in these slow motion buses 💀
And just in case you think this must be the same for similar situations, look at the Jaguar GR.1 weapons vs the GR.1A weapons. The main difference is the 1A has slightly better engines, gets 2 guided bombs and countermeasures. Yet there’s only an increase of 0.6groundRB but 1.0airRB. So slightly better engines, guided bombs and countermeasures impacts mainly air rating this time instead of ground. Meaning it’s not consistent at all because if guided bombs were some uber weapon the GR.1A would be higher in ground battles not air so why does it pull the Tornado GR1 up to 11.7 with worse stats than its German premium counterpart??
Screenshots show the area in red is the current reason devs believe the GR1 deserves +0.3 in airRB and +1.0 in groundRB. If they don’t work just look at both jets weapon screens and ask if you think that warrants the battle ratings I’ve listed.
Please consider fixing this because it’s pointless using the jet I like.
