Why are both F111c and F111F at 11.7?

I looked at the US Air Force tech tree today and realized that the F-111C’s loadout is clearly worse than the F-111F’s. It doesn’t even have a single AGM-65D. I don’t understand why Gaijin gave these two planes the same battle rating.

Compression.

There isnt a great enough difference in performance for them to differ in BR. The F-111F could move up in BR, but does it perform well enough for that, I dont know. (though given the Tornado GR4 is at 12.3, it is a tad unfair its still at 11.7)

and there is 0 point moving the F-111C down to 11.3 as Britain doesnt even have a single 11.3 ground vehicle. So just like the Tornado Gr1 at 11.3, it would only ever get used at 11.7 anyway.

The F-111C is a better dogfighter, and F-111F is faster.

That’s why they’re the same BR instead of F-111C being a higher BR.

the F’s speed is several times more relevant for battles

Then why is F-5E a higher BR than F-104G if speed is more relevant?

I assumed by the context of the AGM-65Ds, OP was talking about GRB performance and not ARB performance, at which point A2A ability is irrevelant
