good to see the f4 have same br with f16 and f20 lol

Adding more BRs will surely decompress something, unless you want to move Reserve/1.0 tanks to 1.7 for some reason.
I wouldn’t mind them decompressing ~8.0 either as that area needs some help.

Why gaijin hates the TU-4

This happens because more newbs/casuals play USA air and more chads play France air. You can see the same thing all over the game.
Whatever metrics they use for determining BR (I’m pretty sure it is higher dimensional math that gives them whatever results they WANT to have) it clearly punishes nations that have a more seasoned player base. Nations like France and Italy, in particular, get absolutely punished for having a dedicated and talented player base. Nations like Germany in ground and USA in air (and Russia basically everywhere) get super favorable BR’s for their vehicles because the people who play them couldn’t “Fight their way out of a piss-soaked paper bag” as Patton would say.
Naval is even worse, with tons of legacy BR’s for USA and Russia ships based on the fact that they were bot farms for years.
It’s clear that Gaijin cares more about brining in new players than they are at keeping players long term.

They need to give us a clear idea of how they do BR balancing, as you said the Main 3 nations are generally new players first nations, so they have worse stats and for some reason ;) have the best vehicles on avrage.

The Namer going up without getting more missiles or anything to support itself is a crime.

Transonic with no missiles vs mach 2 capable aim-9b slinger
Tbf a whole lot of people don’t think the f104’s deserve 9.3 anyway

Me when I realize I accidentally decompressed my game over the summer and have to spend the next half a year recompressing it (the status quo must be maintained)

And what is most scary… That is exactly what it feels like the last 2 changes have done. The compression is almost worse now than it was before

That… actually makes a lot of sense

It is genuinely impressive how much feedback has been ignored.
No 2S38, no J-7D, no changes to identical planes at a higher BR (11.3/11.7 Tornados), zero decompression, the Mig-21s went down despite everyone saying they shouldn’t, and so so many more.
No changes to the F-104s that have to deal with their broken FM.
No R2Y2 changes despite them being DOA at 8.0 in RB.
And no changes that actually help the game be better.
Where is decompression? What is our feedback really doing?

The R2Ys aren’t bad. They are just significantly overtiered after many nerfs and power creep from when they were implemented. When they went to 8.0, they had an air start and much more powerful guns. They also didn’t face afterburning 9.0 jets like the F4D.
R2Y2s were things that had to go down in this very BR changes set.
In the next set of BR changes they will be long gone and forgotten. Gaijin won’t bother doing anything to them anymore

Yeah… There is basically no other explanation why this happened.
I think I’m misinterpreting this, but I hope you are not calling the F-5E a mediocre jet

Bro… they just lowered a bunch of MiG-21s below the A-5C that are faster and will eat it for breakfast.
