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

what kind of value brings a comment like this? wow you beat f3h in the most op dogfighter in the game. im talking about how opressive the demon is against 8.0 - 8.3 aircraft

4 per player. theres usually like 5+ of those players. and those guns alone are insanely strong, 1006 m/s velocity ammo you are never losing a headon.

yes you can dodge it but 90% of playerbase is cannon fodder and your match is over after the first battle because everyone died to f3h.

how can you dodge something when you dont know its coming to you? a lot of planes dont have RWR

eyes? its most dangerous in front aspect, so you should see it coming. but yes, you have a point, another reason for demon to go up.

Could you link to this? I tried searching but didn’t find anything.
The only time i personally remember this happened is with things like the BMPT that received several steps spread over a few minor patches due to how extremely dominant it was at release. In general they don’t usually do things like that and only change BR during larger BR change waves.

messed up my edit, nice

the sparrow doesn’t show, and a lot of times they are firing before you spot them so you have no idea its coming your way

that was a mistake they did, the actual change was from 11.3 it go 12.7 in ground battles

Yeah, that was a bug, no helicopter has above 11.0 in that mode. The seraph was 12.7 by mistake. It wasn’t a BR adjustment due to the vehicles performance.

Pointed out 2 aircraft at the same br that easily destroy it. All 8.0 aircraft are outclassed by ALL 9.0 fighters. Genius.
The f3h is NOT hard to counter with a chaffless flareless subsonic airframe (most 8.0 aircraft) if you learn how to fight against them.
If you know your opponent has radar and a capable missile, and you don’t have chaff, then simply don’t fly in a way that allows them to use either. Either learn to notch or fly below them.
If you couldn’t see my point, idk what to tell you tbh

no reason to be rude

The F-86E(M) does not outclass 8.0, only difference is that it has AIM-9B

ok Mig-21S at 9.0 too, if you die to a R-3 its a skill issue

This is a problem overall. You can’t see rocket motor smoke at 20km but a plane’s contrail through the entire map.

If you choose a smart path to the center of the map there is nothing to dodge. The rest of the battle you have only to watch you aren’t above them. No rocket sience.
If the game is correct by detecting avoided missiles, I had 5 or 6 missiles on me while flying to the center in more than 100 battles.

Adaptability is a four-letter-word around here.

They have done it a few times in an emergency.

Iirc the PUMA got raised up several times quickly.

Yeah, just leave the match dummy.

Who cares if you don’t have a RWR warning and no missiles to fight the thing.

BR adjustments are coming soonish, is my guess. They have to move the stuff at the top up now as well that FOX-3s got ungimped.
