Why is J35xs still 11.3? I face F14 with radar missiles almost every match. How am I supposedto counter them with 12 countermeasures? On 11.3 sweeden gets J37C which is better in almost every aspect. This plane is hilariously painfull to play.

We know it is overtiered, but we don’t need half a billion threads about it.

And gaijin is ignoring those “billion” threads?

They will change it next time they do BR changes. They aren’t going to make an exception for a slightly overtiered plane.

We need a BR change thread. One is overdue for about 2 months and no one knows why

I hope so…
Well, this will be my last response about this jet, which I have, and I gave up upgrading aviation with it, opting for a line jet with radar missiles.
Was it comfortable at 10.7 before? Yes, very much so! I was able to dogfight and maneuver against the fighters of this BR without much trouble, but nothing out of the ordinary since we had fighters with the same capabilities, whether from events or allied nations like Israel with their Shahak, Nesher, and France with their 10.7 Mirage.
I won’t mention jets that are very different from other nations because that would be unfair, as they have very good radar weaponry, Python 3s, and some have R-60MKs or Magics. These are at most 11.0 or 10.7.
The truth is that I gave up on this fight over the J35XS because it’s not going to lead anywhere. We complain and aren’t heard, or sometimes our topics get closed or rejected for being about the same subject repeatedly. And in almost every post, I say the same thing: the fighter shouldn’t be where it is! It doesn’t have radar missiles, doesn’t have all-aspect missiles, doesn’t have energy sustainability in maneuvers, doesn’t have the engine to escape the missiles currently hitting it, doesn’t have systems that accurately alert the player, and doesn’t have enough countermeasures to evade a Phoenix, AIM-9M, R-73, or anything else from 11.3 and above.
But according to what some players say, the fighters you face today are the same as the ones you faced before, since all the BRs went up (which is clearly a lie, as we know well how the matchmaking system works in War Thunder).
So what can be done if, after so many topics covering the same problem, they refuse to look into it and reverse some changes? I don’t know either, but this subject is already ANNOYING to see every day when opening the game’s forum. I personally wanted a refund, but how could I ask for one for something I bought when it was strong, especially since I had already upgraded to 11.0 in that nation? It’s not possible, and the request isn’t valid, so what’s left is for you, the player, to adapt to the new enemies you’re facing, even knowing that you will die before reaching the middle of the map for a dogfight or before getting behind the enemy to see your missiles majestically going toward their flares. And this happens in every match; you’ll rarely achieve a good result! Let’s say that in 1 out of 10 matches, you actually get something really good.
My advice is, wait for a new premium vehicle to purchase! Or suffer enough to at least get the first jets with radar weaponry, so you can use that fighter to upgrade the rest of the tech tree. Even if you put a talisman on the vehicle, it still doesn’t compare to a premium vehicle. So just play without rushing and calmly, and soon you won’t need the 35XS anymore.
In the end, we are left with the following armaments, which do not justify the increase to 11.3 for the 35XS below:
- 6 RB24J missiles that love to eat enemy countermeasures.
- 12 Countermeasures, 6 flares and 6 chaffs.
- Speed not so good/bad
- With the new update, we can no longer destroy bases with rockets, which is what players did before, as it was the best strategy for the jet since it lost to the meta at 10.7 with all-aspect and radar missiles.
The last tip to make it usable again is to use it in tank battles! Its rockets are good against AA and light tanks. You’ll earn little EXP in those matches, but little by little you’ll get what you need so you won’t need it anymore. And the best part is that in tank battles, it remains at 10.7, where it belongs… or used to belong before they removed the ability to destroy bases with rockets. Now I think it should be 10.3.

I dont like to give up. J35xs is a mess this time. But only BR 11 would be a small solution for that. At least for sim battles. 10.7 would be fair and good, but 11… worth a try.
So dont give up! Write comments for stay focus on this problem. If we abandon this topic, they dont want to work on it.

There have already been topics opened in various languages, but none have even come close to reaching those who make the changes so far.
So, I don’t think that keeping the focus on this will solve anything. We paid for something good at the time, only to not be able to use it today when we finally have the time to grind the Swedish tree. Personally, I don’t see the issues discussed here as the most efficient way to reach those who make the changes.
We have examples of fixes that are only made after MONTHS, and with just half an hour of research on the information, they would be proven accurate, and perhaps in one or two weeks, they would already be in the game, considering the incredible effort and delivery capability we see from the developers with each new aircraft in every major update we get.
So, modifying an aircraft’s BR after seeing that it has a very low win and kill percentage compared to its previous BR.
As I mentioned in the reply: Not only did they kill the aircraft by increasing its BR, but they also made a point of removing its ability to destroy bases, turning it into a heavy and slow dogfighter at its current BR.
Off-topic: They removed J35xs from Shop xD
On topic: I got this plane 2 weeks ago :) it is a challenge to play against better planes but… F4S is a perfect target :)
I go in the middle of the map, as low as possible, and get behind them… today I will get JAS39A
J35XL
Kfir canards
And F104S
these 3 planes are over BR, it should be 11.0
10.7, because 11.0 didn’t get any better.
