Why is the demon still not moved up from 9.0 and why is the matchmaking broken in general?

major BR changes before December 5th gen for obvious reasons just wait

There’s far bigger fish to fry than the mediocre F3H

ariete has no rwr, chaff or missiles, it dominates them :)
“but its an op dogfighter” so are most aircraft compared to the f3h

Except you know, you could fly away from it.

But we also have the F-86K at the same BR with 2 AIM-9Bs and no RWR.

stuff like this has been happening a lot lately…
uneven teams and even more people not spawned in, bots…

whats going on

or worse, you get a single 8.7 teammate which is a bomber and several 8.7 fighters on the enemy team… this is full uptier btw from 7.7.

what even is the point when the game is just completely imbalanced in every aspect?

youre completely missing the point which is understandable looking at your behaviour, you only care about your own heroic achievements.


If the demon wasn’t broken they wouldn’t be so many people playing it…

You see, the plane has a White Star. Therefore it is acceptable to be OP.

If it had a Red Star, it would be entirely unacceptable and a clear sign of Gaijin’s bias.

Ad populum fallacy.
People spammed out T-80BVM, spammed out BMPT after it was moved to 11.7, spam out F-4J, F-14D, etc.
Popularity does not make things powerful, just notorious.

The F3H has a sustained turn rate of an F-104 & a max AOA of a Saggitario.
That’s a lot of victims to Sabres, Mig-17s, etc on your team.

yea when it was released and its a ground vechicle

thats because they already did spam it because it was op at the lower brs and they kept spamming it because thats how they are used to

the F-14 was a brand new premium, the Demon is not

The Demon is not a brand new premium like the F-14D or was getting spammed before the buff, before the buff you would see 1-2 max and almost always with AIM-9Bs never with the sparrows. Now making the AIM-7C useable you see entire lobbies with them

this is simply untrue, and you simply are saying that you dont understand how arb works
especially in early jets, sticking in 1v1 dogfights mostly gives you kills, and it requires exceptional situational awareness to know when to stick with fights and when to not. Having a missile slinger that can hit targets 6km away is simply off balanced.
dont tell me to simply “stick with close dogfighting” becuase thats where all the issue starts.

F3H loses all 1v1s, so what’s your point?
Having the sustained turn rate of an F-104 & AOA capability of an F-18 doesn’t make for a dogfighter.
& being generally aware makes one immune to AIM-7Cs.

because it inturrupts 1v1s in the most absurd way possible
ofcourse in a 1v1 F3H would lose, but unless the pilot is a subhuman he wont engage in a dogfight when he clearly can sling a missile at 6km and third party all dogfights

yes being aware will help you avoid aim 7s. frankly it is somewhat easy to avoid when you know where the missile is flying from
but you have to consider the BR - 8.3 and 8.7, or even at 9.0 people stick to dogfights to get kills. once ur in a 1v1 and when a missile flies at you from a distance where you dont even see, theres nothing much you can do.
and the issue is that this happens every match

and dont even start with “cope” or “skill issue” before you play aircraft other than F3H and try to get a same performance

@BirdAviator111
I played the F3H less than 1 time per 30 matches in other aircraft in that bracket.
Died to one AIM-7C, and I was in my own F3H flying straight.

All 9.3s are superior to the F3H.

all aircraft below 9.0 arent.
and the majority of the matches for them are against F3Hs.
are you one of those bomber mains per chance who thinks that this update is legitimately “good” and “well balanced?”
genuine question

LIM-5P, Alpha Jets [all, not just the ones in JP], Mig-15Bis, Canberra Mk6, etc…

Also the only bomber I main is the Canberra Mk6 cause memeing on fighters is funny.

do you just completely ignore my entire point and decide to just stick on that word “arent” and immediately decide to ragecomment

The Aim-7 buffs went live a couple weeks ago. Ofc people are gonna be playing the vehicle that youtubers overhyped.
