Update 2.43.0.105 (Battle Ratings)

  1. The F-14 IRIAF already suffered in uptiers. The only thing it had going for it was it could only see 4 planes that completely outclassed it, and not an entire team of the them every game
  2. Every single plane slaughters downtiers. I don’t see how you can see the F-104 situation and not see the same correlation. This isn’t a single issue, and it never has been. “Congratulations you have discovered The BR System”.

They aren’t, at all. The Sejeel shouldn’t even be in the discussion. It won’t track 70% of the time you shoot it and can’t maneuver as well as the 27R1. The Fakour doesn’t work against the targets it faces. The Fakour isn’t good against hyperaware, super-maneuverable targets. It’s good for sniping bombers and drones. That’s it.

It wasn’t too strong for 12.7. If I’m being honest, 12.7 was way more balanced than 13.0. 13.0 is simply overkill and a gross uptiering of an Early F-14A into modern ARH combat with virtually nothing to help it. The R-73 wouldn’t warrant any higher BR, and also wouldn’t help with the 13.0 placement. It’s simply too high for an F-14A, and nothing you can say can invalidate that.

Those drags/masses are almost negligible.

Too stronk…CBA to mask properly, CBA to defend properly, must ACE COMBAT.
That’s why the change.

They could give it Fatter. They didn’t . Yet with no all-aspect (not speaking IRCCM) it’s 13.0. Can’t even carry 6 ARH which the plane in reality could , let’s say it was for balancing in 12.7… now it’s 13.0.
Want more that they could do? Supposedly Iran upgraded the radar. Where is that? I mean F90 has “press release stats” no one knows its actual stats , so they could do things and take it to 13.0 . That thing now…is not 13.0 .
And my biggest question about the change has to do with 3 things.

  1. It can carry 6 ARH… why you still limiting it to 4 since you uptier it?
  2. Why no update on its IRs. It can carry Fatter. Tests with R-73 were good, with R-27 failed …yet it carries R-27.
    3.CM count… F-14B will delete you any day of the week yet it has the same BR?
    And before any a–shat tries tell anything about my bias…i’ve played like 600-700 games against it and only 70-80 with it (and most of them grinding mods…) so yeah, idgaf if i’ll play it again .
    Also, why 21SMT is going down to 10.3? (yes i’ve played the thing A LOT) . So to destroy anything without flares in every undertier… Ok, i’ll bite. Gonna grind the event with it from tomorrow.

I don’t know what they balance. If you want to balance decompress -fullstop
Anything else you do GJ, is 50iq primeape decisions. Man up and decompress.

Meanwhile 14.0 game , last game, it’s still what happened in the games before the BR change. But it’s more prestigious to see people in EF2K and Rafales do the same crap , people did before the BR change and cried about F-14 being OP. So what’s next? F-14 IRIAF 13.7 because people still make the same mistakes?

war is peace
freedom is slavery
recompression is decompression :)

Just when I think gaijin couldn’t possibly be any more ignorant, they always find a way to prove me wrong.

My guy, the F14 IRAF was dominating too much in a down tier. 11.7s should never have to see it.

Instead of trying to convince people that your OP aircraft is fine at its OP spot, advocate for the raising of the BR ceiling so it doesnt see the Eurofighter, F15E, ect.

Plus at 12.7 it never saw a full up tier becuase there really is no shich thing as a 13.7 or 13.3 game in the current matchmaker. They’re all uptiered to 14 anyway so you’d mostly see down tiers to 11.7-13.0 games anyway.

Everyone sane is advocating for decompression. I’ve been an advocate for it since I started understanding what is was.

Meanwhile some of its equivalents are 12.3 now.

Intro to rant,
Ahh cool, once again after no doubt tens of thousands of comments from all communities & yet sweet bloody all has been changed & as usual not a single NF suggestion changed, why do I bother making comments & why do the mods in game suggest going to the forums for discussing BR changes especially when they suggests these types of posts yet nothing NOTHING ever comes of it.

Suggestion,
We’re better off splitting BR changes into three different posts one for AF one for GF & one for NF so at least something might be done in each change all while spanning up to two months each time, over just doing this all at once with piss all to show for it.

Further rant,
I simply requested this thing to go down & to no surprise, nothing happened for what’s basically a starting destroyer that faces late war destroyer/ heavy pre war destroyers & all types of cruisers, even in the screenshot by national designations these are ocean going torpedo boats yet two of them are 3.7 & one of them is very similar (Jaguar coming up the rear, lighter & faster, a third cannon 10.5 cm yet 3.7).

I really would love to sit down & ask the developer in charge of NF BR’s what their logic is that they follow for such BR’s (probably over a translated message), as it can’t be effectiveness.

As looking at Italian 4.0 ships there’s the Impetuoso class destroyer which is essentially a 4.3/4.7 ship at 4.0 that rips apart everything at BR, there’s a Soldati class destroyer even if the worse one (could be lower) it outclasses this TB, and if counting Italian built ships also at 4.0 the Regele Ferdinand class Destroyer (USSR ship) & again outclasses this bar LAA.

The Albatros class Corvette is superior to the Ciclone class Torpedo Boat (these corvettes probably should go back to 3.7).

The Turbine & Freccia class destroyers at lower BR’s also outclass this, So why is this at 4.0???

An now back to battles in that feel like the Battle of Cape Paasero, eg: one British cruiser sinks a few TB’s & DD’s, which sums up the experience in matches.

Look my MF1 and M2K stats. ALL of them are against F-14 IRIAF in the mix.
As if your 11.7 is not OP against 10.7s… really.
We need decompression. Those changes are a joke. What you are trying to prove in your example is already debanked from the millisecond your thought was made.
Yes , a 12.7 is more powerful than 11.7 . And yes the 11.7 is as much more powerful than a 10.7.
Sorry about being bland and a bit in the offense , but i’m fed up with people asking the wrong things. Just ask for decompression .

The difference is that 10.7s can counter 11.7s easier. Most 11.7s cannot counter the Farkour regardless. The missle kills you even in multipath.

The technological difference between 11.7 and 12.7 is much more than 11.7 and 10.7.

This is the issue with powercreep and it gets worse when mixed with BR compression.

Why tell the entire 11.7 line ups to deal with the powercreep instead of just telling one aircraft to deal with it.

That’s exactly what was posted. You just didn’t care to read it for some reason. It wasn’t that long.

You can’t fly under the radar? You can’t mask with terrain? Can’t multipath? All of what i said earlier and some chaff with it?
Man i’ve got killed by F90, too… but i always questioned what I did wrong… i know what the missile does and 98% i will counter it except if i mess up. In MF.1 . It has nothing more than your 11.7 except 2 Magic 2s . And 100% you don’t want to see a good player in a F-16 or M2k or MiG 29 (with 27ER) in your 11.7… describe me how will you counter a good player in those if F90 was your problem,
And i’m not god tier player , but i know where i mess up. And i admit if F90 or AIM-54 gets me i did something wrong.

So you disagree that we must ask for decompression and keep going about 11.7s etc. (because that’s what you play today, tomorrow your problem will be 12.0s against 13.0s…).

Ok, i stop here… and for everyone having some knowledge and understanding of what i’m saying.
People we should do something about decompression…those changes are a fact that it must be done.
Any balance patch proves the same, yet we see the same crappy talking about specific planes/vehicles being OP etc. while the answer is the same. Decompression.

Why are you moving the f14 iraf up to 13.0 30 chaff and flares won’t do anything in 13.0 that dominated by fox3 missile and hmd and missile like 9m are yall mission to make sure all f14 are unplayable and not be able to do what it was built to do f14B struggles as it is putting a f14A at 13.0 is mental f14A iraf and f14B should be at 12.7 and the f14A at 12.3 or 12.0 I swear I done playing if this stupid br changes keep happening man
