it kinda is though
second worst ARH at top tier for close range, only behind 120C/D
i know it doesnt matter if the plane can go mach 2.5 or not, especially in air rb. But for that same exact reason why not just let it be able to? for the sake of realism? it cant even sniff 2.33.
plus nuclear thunder is coming and they should def address it atp because it will actually be viable to be able to reach top speed.
Also based off your stats you seem like your very familiar with top tier, what do you think about the f15GE being 14.3 instead of 14.7? I feel like i understand the plane exceptionally well considering my stats aren’t too shabby but it seems like everyone is hell bent on this aircraft being 14.7
i think its players are keeping it at 14.3 because i swear to god these people have some major brain damage
This is impossible, its performance by players is not bad at all. Here are its June monthly stats in realistic battles compared to British aesa typhoon and rafale
not denying the stats but i’ve always found them funny because anytime i engage someone flying a high stats vehicle they’re spamming missiles and failing basic notching
case in point Su-30SM2, happened a few seconds after i sent that message
I understand the skill disparity of players playing vehicles are very high but generally many do well in it(with many doing less well with it as well)
I also made another realisation to note about that data. Its ARB and GRB…
Germany, very good top tier ground line-up Typhoon often used for CAS, but the really strong SPAA at top tier at the moment, and still kinda poor A2G loadout, kills the KD quite a bit.
Italy. 1 meta tank, but poor overall lineup, so some are being used, most arent.
Britian. No top tier line-up (prior to this major update, now we have 1 MBT) so it rarely got used in GRB and basically only in ARB.
Just look at the relationship between air kills and ground kills.
Germany its about 20-25% of total kills , same for italy. Britain, its usually much much lower, around only 10-15%. So imo, in addition to the reduced encounters to Rafales, the slightly more defensive playstyle of British players (from experience playing things like the Tonka) and the greater experience in making BOL work (like 90% of our rank 8 aircraft rely upon BOL). Britain’s data is pulled far more from ARB that has a naturally higher KD/KS than where the data is pulled from ARB AND GRB.
We’ll have to see if this theory tracks with the intro of Britains first 12.7 MBT

I would also say that when certain air-oriented people were looking to grind the Eurofighter, the advice they often got were that the British Eurofighter was not only better due to having IRST at the time, but that the British variant was a better investment for air rb due to having better gimbal limits and the ASRAAM being better suited to air rb.
Actually I recall quite often the advice being to grind out Germany or Italy because they have way stronger and easier to grind trees that Britain. Especially last year when Britains top tier was very weak bar the EFT and Gripen. Rank 7 is still a very hard grind and rank 8 isnt a whole lot better even with all the F-18s C&Ps
It’s a bit undertiered for 14.3
but cannot go up because most 14.7s will just bully it unless it MCMs (even then it’ll probably lose)
With decompression it should be higher
British euro also queues with France, which inflated the stats a bit
A bit, but I think it’s half of the reason
