Tu95 Battle Rating

I think its self evident that tu95 should NOT be seeing airspawning f104s etc. Which it does extremely often because of the abundance of 9.3s that vaccum the 8.3s. It really should be 8.0. A simple .3 change will greatly help. I have no problem seeing f86 mig15s etc but you can do nothing against afterburning supersonics with climb rates rivaling the f15. B52 should be 8.3 max also. Its an objectively worse bomber than tu4, lower bombload, dramatically worse defense, and the flight performance makes zero difference when everything can catch you anyways

Yes, downtier everything. Compresson is good.

There’s a difference between recompression by moving planes down because they aren’t the best at their BR, (F-15A to 12.7, and the proposals to move the F-2A ADTW down) and moving bad planes down in BR (like the B-52/Tu-95/Tu-4/B-66/Vautour).

A very, very light difference. Very small.

I think this is false and I agree with @Ion_492

For example
Sending B-17E(Late.) which stays 5.0BR in ARB to 4.7BR and tie them with normal B-17E has significant difference than
Sending F-86A-5 from 8.3 to 8.0, or F/A-18C from 12.7 to 12.3.

Generally, base bombing or ground pounding has no effect on winning in Air-RB, as you know, and those bombers are generally treated as selfish dorks.

No matter whether Tu-95 is 8.3 or 8.0, B-66B is 9.0 or 8.7, and B-52B is 8.7 or 8.3.
It will affect nearly nothing gameplay-wise.

Oh, if you meant ‘very light difference’ in contexts of ‘buff will not change thing’, then you might be right.

Drastic buff down to 7.7 might be too much if we think about 23mm gunners, but 8.0 wouldn’t hurt much.

I am terribly sorry, but Normandy, you are acting like Alvis about the compression issue today.
He didn’t want to send B-66B down to 8.7BR because ‘bombers are decompressed well enough’.
And you don’t want to send Tu-95M down to 8.0BR because

‘downtier everything. compression is good /s’

the major problem is that gaijin is arcade-ifying the gamemode that’s meant to be the opposite of arcade by giving everything airspawns.

remove airspawns for fighters and keep the bombers where they are.
