Please read my previous response.
Fair points, but the game is very unbalanced in terms of certain nations.

As an extra answer to this. You cannot look at munitions only, you have to also look at what vehicle carries them (this is not a specific answer to any specific munitions mentioned, just a generalized one)
The exact same munition is going to perform very differently if it’s put on a fast and maneuverable plane compared to a very slow and less agile one.
I don’t know what to say anymore. I’ll ask directly. DOES THE F/A-18E SUPER HORNET HAVE THE SAME CAPABILITIES AS THE SU-30SM 2, RAFAL CF3, EF-2000… IN ANTI-AIR OR ATTACK COMBAT ZONE?

I’ll be as clear as possible here:
I have zero connection to development, i have no contact with the DEV’s, no influence on their decisions and no insight into those operations. At all. Game Masters only handle in-game chat and name bans.
I have personally not played any of those vehicles so i wouldn’t be able to say anything about them. What i can say is that almost every time i see someone complain about a vehicle in the game they have not played it themselves and don’t actually know how it is to play it, only how it feels to face it. It gives a skewed view with only half of the equation to have any real comparative opinion on a vehicle.

Thats fair. Thanks for thr reply
Agm 84 is 3 times slower than Kh38mt so no thanks. Even ir mavs are faster.
Gbu53 looks like spice alternative but thing is f15e can carry 28 of them at once so gaijin wont add this because “too op”.

The advantage of the AGM-84 would be the larger warhead and IOG. They would have been quite good a year ago.
How big is the spread of BR’s that are viewd as “similar”? Cause I’m not sure what is in game that is of similar capabilites like the Kh-38 mts? Or is my understanding of capabilities just wrong? they both can destroy ground vehicles as ir guided agms? If you leave everything else aside, Speed of the agm itself, tnt yield, probability of kill, guidance methods of the agm, capabilities of the carrier aircraft, air to air capabilites of the carrier aircraft, then yes, they have “similar” capabilities. On a Su30Mk2 at 12.3 and a F18/e at 13.0. Which clearly are similar BRs
Honestly, the BR for aircraft in GRB make absolutely no sense and thats not just top tier. Im not actually sure there is any rational logic behind the current BRs and so I dont even bother trying to understand it.
Like for example A-10A Late is 10.7 with 4x Aim-9Ls and 6x AGM-65Ds. but the Hawk 200 RDA is 11.0 with 2x Aim-9Ls and 4x AGM-65Bs
Huh? I have not been rude to you, please do not be rude to me.
I just haven’t played the Israeli tree. Are you trying to say that i should spend a couple of months grind a tree just to be able to compare two vehicles?
Have i? Or are you just reading opinions where there are none?
Probably the best approach. Its not worth getting a headache over that and even start trying to understand for whatever reason a Tornado IDS SLe with 3 HOSBOs and 3 JDAMS is at the same BR like the Su30MK2 AMV. Totally Comparable a2g loadout. Must mean the Tornado has a comparable flightmodel and a2a loadout, surely. Well whatever, i got some clues why it is how it is.

Yeah, though its been wierd for ages. Like GR4 is 12.3 but the belgium F-16A is 12.0
uhhhh…statistics??? Well id bett one of my buttcheeks that those also dont support the Tornado IDS SLEs ground BR placement at the same BR Like the premium SU30. Oh wait did i just say Premium? hmmm…

Even with the increased BR of Hawk 200 RDA it still has better stats than A-10A Late and I think thats mainly why its .3 BR higher.
Also it could be explained because of the better top speed, turn, of the Hawk together with a radar and radar missiles.
tho Hawk receive a slightly worse RWR band coverage and no cannon and way less CM.
Stats:
A-10A Late:
- KPS: 0.68
- K/D: 0.87
- WR: 52.1%
Hawk 200 RDA:
- KPS: 0.95
- K/D: 1.38
- WR: 53.3%
Radar/SARH missiles I dont think is relevant when you consider the FGR2 is 10.7
and Im on the fence which turns better, I dont think its that far apart.
So the only meaningful difference is the lack of gun and the somewhat difference in speed (Hawk accelerates too slowly to routinely pick up that kind of speed most of the time) but I do think the A-10 having 8x the CM load is enough to mitigate this.
But at the end of the day, I see no reason why the hawk 200 RDA has AGM-65Bs instead of D or Gs to at least compensate for the higher BR and thats ontop of the fact that we dont have a single 11.0 ground vehicle, so to bring the Hawk 200 RDA it needs to be exceptionally good and AGM-65Bs just dont cut it
Well FGR2 is 10.7 in GRB because it only got dumb bomb, no fire and forget weapon unlike Hawk 200 RDA. GRB battle ratings are calculated around air to ground capabilities of planes.
Yeah I wont enter in the details about that. both perform quite similarly at their respective ideal speeds.
Yeah I forgot to mention that cons about the Hawk, dont know if it had AGM-65D irl but if it did, I think it could get these to justify that BR.
209 literally has AGM-65Gs. So should be fine
Stormbreaker could be introduced without MMW and act exactly like a SPICE. Just like how they implemented the Brimstone just minus the MMW feature they are so scared to introduce .
It would change very little in terms of balance, the only thing it would do it provide a small buff the US tech tree.
Especially seeing how the KH series will still remain the ultimate CAS weapon. I like my Mavericks but there needs to be more options. GBU39 is a fun one to use but without an IR feature SPICE250 just jumps right ahead of it.

If we follow your logic, the issue then circles back to the topic in question: where are the GBU-53 or AGM-84? The GBU-53 performs almost identically to the SPICE 250—so why hasn’t it been added to the game? Gaijin even modeled it long ago. Given that the Israeli tech tree is largely adapted from the American one, with most Israeli vehicles outperforming their U.S. counterparts, the only explanation I can come up with is bias against American vehicle players.
