I don’t agree with lowering the BR of Sabres and MiGs at all, but if the BR of CL-13B Mk.6 and G.91Y are lowered, then Shenyang F-5 and Hunter FGA.9 should also be lowered to 9.0BR as well.
I played G.91Y and CL after BR changes but, it is almost untouchable unless teammates gets insta wiped.
Lowering BRs is not the solution.
These planes in the 8.0 to 10.3 region all suffer immensely from compression.
The supersonic 9.0+ planes have to go up at least .7 each (F-104, Su-7, ect.)
And then the all aspect slingers have to go to at least 11.0 if not higher. (A-10, Su-25)
Always ask for decompression, not for another BR pressing. Or Gaijin will get it wrong. Again.
The Swift F1 is quite a difficult plane to fly. It has good thrust in the right speed ranges, and it turns well in the right speed ranges. It is quite difficult to learn to be effective in it, I still havent got it down.
Even if you consider how good the plane is with a master pilot (which IMO is how planes should be balanced), a master MiG-15bis pilot is going to have a pretty big advantage against the master Swift F.1 pilot.
As for the F.7, saying the engine is ‘decent’ is damning by faint praise. At 8.7, only the scimitar is stronger (Meaning it is stronger than the Sea Vixen and Lim-5P in terms of the maximum rate of energy gain). The fireflashes are funny ig but not reliably effective enough to count much towards its BR. The energy-manoeuvrability is again, very good, but only in certain speed ranges which makes it sort of difficult to learn. I think the swift f7 was around about the same level of competency as the MiG-15bis, im not too concerned about it not going down.
What? You can’t enjoy your Swift F.1 with shit maneuvrability, no flares (while meeting the Yak-38) and a tail so small my pinky is bigger than it? Too fucking bad bruv. What’s that? Skill issue? Mkay.
the swift is a good plane, just not for all
You captured it exactly right here. I personally don’t see a point in calling for BR reduction of vehicles that now fall victim to the Sabres and Migs that were lowered, it’s just fighting the symptoms not the disease, and will actually make things even worse.
The overpowered supersonics that were making Sabres and Migs unplayable should have gone up, and the things below it wouldn’t have this problem. Lowering the BR of earlier jets in response to this will in turn harm the even earlier jets, and push them into prop BRs.
Gaijin’s decision to lower Sabres and Migs BRs, if not reversed is on course to create a cascade collapse of the entire BR system all the way through props. The need to decompress supersonics is reaching a critical point, Gaijin constantly refuses to do it for years but soon it will be either that or the entire matchmaker will break down. This is in everyone’s interest even if you don’t play supersonics.
Yeah, or just a general decompression, not just the supersonics would be great
Only Super-sonic in that BR that I have experience in is the Lightnings. They could easily move up to 10.0 with Red Top overhaul/buff. But would be brutal if they moved up at all with nothing
