It’s a gimmick

I forgot to add Fakour joke.

Fakour iq test

At this point the day when they answer or reflect on a thing like that will mean the end of the world and all civilizations on it.

IQ test should be legally a must after dying to a fakour.

Oh I could have made a post about the Freccia being moved from 4.7 to 4.3, but gaijin hates it so much…

Gaijin will move Z-10 and Z-10A to 12.0 in next update, then you can only use Z-19 at 11.7.

The IRIAF is so bad I would genuinely just go fight one that’s fully loaded with a MiG-29 not carrying missiles and be very confident in my chances of winning

To determine second digit after 1 or 2

Why ask for feed back in the thread and ask for us to complete a survey if nothing will get implemented. Air rb is a mess right now

Can someone explain how the Mirage4000, Mig29G and Sea Harrier are 0.3 below the Su30 premiums.

Mirage 4000 either 2x magics and 4x 530ds or 6x magics and 2x 530ds

Sea harrier Fa2 4x Aim120as and no gun

Mig29G 2x R27ers and 4x R73s

Vs 1 step up being Su30 premiums with 6xR77s and 4x R73s

This is off memory correct if wrong but how is this 1 br step above

Seriously the matchmaker is so skewed to 12.7-13.7 matches making every 12.7 and 13.0 not worth playing as we are in a constant state of being uptiered. Thats if even spaded.

Stock grind is pure hell as you are outclassed entirely.

Im on my last 2 13.0s right now Mig29G and Gripen to spade and you are dead in the water every single game. Even if i was spaded i cant even compete vs 13.3s

2 shots is all i get vs 6 back at me if this was a pure 1v1

Even looking at the stats you can see 13.3 and 13.7s are eating well while 12.3 12.7 and 13.0 stats are no where near the same levels.

Beyond a joke that su30s cant see top tier as an excuse.

Why should players play 12.7-13.0 when our matchmaker is so against us? The amount of games i have seen where there is 2 12.7s in a 13.7 match is honestly wild.

There is barely any downtiers for these aircraft from the spam of premiums

I dont always want to be top dog but i want to atleast feel i can contribute or have a chance. Lower tiers i have never felt so displaced from 0.3 br that you couldnt clutch a match back as i have felt from 12.3-13.3.

Long story short MAKE TECH VEHICLES GOOD AGAIN. Top/high tier air rb is bland there is no vareity in matches too many maps are flat. Give us more maps like Pyrenees where terrain masking can be used to counter Fox3s.

Ill happily play an uptier on Pyrenees vs Moscow or any other flat map

Idk, may need to remove hands and legs before the next BR change list happens, feedback wont help but if a vehicle is in a good position and someone plays it well it may reflect badly on their “statistics”.
looking at the T20 here as well

Please check the table. We have implemented changes after the feedback.
The fact, that it’s not all you asked for doesn’t make it “nothing (…) get implemented”.

Dont care really. It ruined SARH gameplay for quite a long time. Especially SARH jets with horrible RWR.
So, much like the premium SU-30’s, it deserves to sit at 13.7

By that logic, R-77’s also kill only “complete nitwits” who cant kinetically defeat an underperforming missile which has been nerfed by extra drag since gaijin cant model grid fins properly.

The interception capability of 2S6, its adaptability to various terrains, thermal imaging, close-range machine gun shooting, and even its transformation into a infantry fighting vehicle - which of these aspects isn’t worth improving?

Whelp. We’ve had some atrociously bad BR changes this time. We really need a devblog on how BR assignments go, because right now it looks like the people responsible never open the game nor check if their model is accurate and sampling - unbiased. Just toss random heap of data into the algorithm and trust the process.

Nope, not only that. they just moved m41D from 8.0 to 8.3, while the K/D is only 0.5.

Look man, this plane was a gift from my wife for New Years '25 when I came home from a…very long, very rough, and very unpleasant 28 year association with the US Army. That career was my choice and its wrecked our marriage - so this plane, this may be one of the last really happy, warm memories I have of us as a couple.

And someone with out reason, with out accountability, with out the common decency to be explain themselves, just s*** on that.

They could have fixed it.

They could have pulled the Fakours and R-27s and made it the plane it was for the bulk of its career.

They could have just pulled it from the game.

This isn’t even about money, because you could do an entire little tree spot - three variants of the Iranian bird together. The pre-Iran/Iraq war one, a pure interceptor with no bombs or rockets. Then this one with Phoenix-As, Sedjils, and strap-on air to ground ordnance…

And THEN they could do ANOTHER event for the F-14AM ‘2011’ - about what an F-14B is but with native Iranian weaponry, guided bombs, SKYhawk AGMs, hell, even throw on R-73s. And THEN after the event is over, have it pop up every year as a rare GE premium.

No…this is about BOHICA. This is about someone getting a giggle at our expense.

unlike fakour
R-77 is actually a good missile, due to how well it pulls

range doesn’t matter very much in arb since long range shots are really easy to defend.

R-77 is a threat
Fakour is an awareness check

whats also funny is that even if you look at planes that do have fox 3s like F4F KWS, Tornado F3 late or the JA37DI all at 13.0, they are so much worse in their flight model that they depend extremely on having the amraams. The flanker is not only a higher gen airframe but also has more ARHs than they do at only a single BR step difference. Effectively those planes are at the same BR just because the difference basically doesnt exist.

So the premium flankers not only outdo worse Fox 1 and 2 only planes like hornets, eagles, F2As and similar they also outdo the planes that are just one BR step below them by a significant margin in vehicle capabilities.
