Now that the f15 is 12.7 I straight up dont see why its 13.0. It has only 2 fox1s and then just short range ir missiles at 13.0 It doesnt even fly all that great. Am I playing it wrong or somn

The early F-15s are undertiered and should not be used as an argument to change the BR of other vehicles.
Having said that, the M4K is indeed poorly suited for 13.0, especially because all the gatewidth IRCCM missiles barely work.
It would not be the worst decision to put it 12.7 since its clearly worse than the F-15 and it makes sense for it to share the same BR as the belgian F-16A for example…
…but the whole bracket is unbalanced and very compressed and I think adressing that is the only solution instead of moving vehicles up or down in a very compressed bracket which doesn’t fix anything it the first place since it will be creating different issues
The thing is, Gaijin said they don’t want to decompress so nothing will ever happen at all I guess

It has incredible flight model idk what you are on about, its problem is that it always faces fox-3s requiring you to get close to use your magic 2s.
The 530D are good, but not when you are fighting fox-3 missiles.
There needs to be decompression or a cut between Fox-3 missile trucks and non-fox-3 missile trucks.
And I use the term missile truck because the premium Su-30 can carry like what, 8? fox-3 missiles? at 13.3 vs the M4k that has 0.
The only viable way to win against that jet in a 1v1 is to notch constantly and then maybe you have the energy to dogfight when you reach your target. Which puts you at quite the disadvantage I guess.
I wish I could have played it when it first came out.
It’s also not a very good dogfighter since the FM isn’t that good, it’s worse than the M2K except for acceleration
8 Magic 2s+okay flight model. 12.7 would be undertiered, just like almost every other IRCCM user at 12.7. However the artificial compression and nerfs to gatewidth irccm for some reason, it isn’t as strong as it could be.
I am fully against moving it and any other 13.0 aircraft down in BR because it will just make BR compression so much worse.
It is good but like you said its not fox3 good. It doesnt have any suitable weponary for the br two sarhs
there is 2 magic2 +good fm at 12.3 as m2k
there is also 4 irccm + 4 sarh at 12.7 in the form of f15 I dont how it would be an issue. Simply having more wepons doesnt make the plane more op atleast imo
That plane is also overpowered and should be 13.0 where it’s equals are.
That’s fair but I don’t think we should make compression worse than it is by moving things down.
