Why is SU-25SM3 12.3 in AIR RB? Is it truly equal to F-14A?

Yes. Su-25T and SM3 are virtually identical in ARB and yet they’re two BR steps apart from one another. Somehow they missed it but I hope it gets changed soon.

Ig gaijins reasoning is the R-73’s. Maybe the ground ordinance, but that’s really only super helpful in ground battles, which it gets an even higher BR…

It also doesn’t help though, that you are comparing you’re comparing a supersonic jet fighter to a sub sonic strike aircraft… They don’t have the same roles and weren’t meant to

Then why is A-10C 11.3?

Su-25MS3: 2x R-73 / 12.3

A-10C 4x 9M / 11.3

Idk?? I’d assume it’ll get moved up soon or the 25’s down soon

4x 9M with HMD

A-10 is slower
I guess? I don’t know

Idk, Yak-141 is good (even if it doesnt have it supposed R-73 and R-77)

The Su-25SM3 is not supersonic

It isnt, but F-14A, which is in the title, is

I mean just look at state of some premium planes, just in unrealistic BRs… Its just Gaijin not being able to make BRs on plane preformance and not how much of RP is making…just lazy developers

My bad, thought you were referring to the Su-25 and A-10, I’ve had someone call the Su-25 a strike fighter that should get air kills before.

Yak-141 might be the ONLY EXCEPTİON

The rest are literally horrible, with murdered flight models, horrible radars, too high BRs etc

We all know the real reason for this.

Certain mains are more prevalent, are more outspoken, and spend more money on the game.

They’re getting their way, and as much as it sucks, it makes sense from a business perspective.

I spend money and time on every tech tree, but this sucks.

Especially considering USSR is the 2nd most popular nation, what gaijin is doing really doesn’t make any sense

you are wrong I spend money on this game and all these premiums are worst planes in that BR and if you think they are not you are wrong.

Spending money in this game doesnt mean you decide anything

Yup. I’m about done spending money on this game. The things I paid for are increasingly less balanced, and receive far less attention. Every change log makes this more clear.

I’m also tired of coming on this forum and being shit on for wanting the nations I enjoy playing getting the same benefits as others enjoy and being told it’s what is deserved. Tired of intellectually dishonest arguments and politics/xenophobic bias playing into the arguments made against certain nations. It’s a game, I don’t care about that.

Integral to gameplay should be balance. But for some players, that’s clearly not the goal.

That’s not what I was saying. My money doesn’t decide anything alone. And I’m not talking about premiums or any bias related to them.

Because A-10 is much slower, while also being less maneuverable, at high speeds at least, at low speeds it might be better but low speed maneuverability is useless in Air RB.
