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.

R2Y2 gets clowned on on every aspect by every 8.0, idk what are you talking about

It hasn’t the last time I played it in January.
R2Y2 held my hand climbing as well as F-84G and having the most potent guns at that BR.

Because they face each other + they have separate BRs on GRB so that they are minimally competent in ARB

Climbing better than the F-84G isn’t worth that much since the F-84G will always have an alt advantage due to its OP airspawn.

If you can’t make it to 5km at a decent speed when you are over the battlefield, you won’t have the alt advantage, and therefore a bad climate.

Gaijin and long-lasting decompression are like sticking magnets together
It’s more difficult to do than it has any right to in the first place, and the instant it’s done they immediately start trying to resume status quo once you stop forcing them to be together

Did you just seriously compared the R2Y2 to one of the worst planes in acceleration, turning rate and climb in its BR to say that the R2Y2 isnt grabage(?

If I would say that I am disappointed by the changes, that would be an understatement. After over 2k replies on the thread asking about feedback, basically nothing has changed. A lot of things still remain in a completely broken spot or are straight up unplayable. Also a lot of requests about certain vehicles that are floating around since ages were again ignored and we havent hear anything about it.
A feedback on the feedback post would also have been greatly appreciated and would probably even have been necessary, especially looking at stuff like the M2K CS5 or F-16 changes. And basically no noteworthy GRB changes
