Lmao, this idiot just said the Yak-130 can run the “same speed” as an uprated Hunter. Point and laugh.
lol no - the Ayit has 3 Mavericks, 2 Walleyes and 2 Shrikes or A-A Missiles. And Countermeasure, and improved engines. And just 0.3 BR higher.
closest peer in capabilities.
yak 130 and hawk 200 get 4 TV guided ground strike weapons of similar performance (because of the crappy TV locking) only.
Ayit is blatantly overpowered in comparison to them both for CAS. as it gets two walleyes, GBU8 and a couple bullpups (i dont know if the two bullpups put it over in weight, i dont own it personally) it should be higher than them both
as for flight performance, the A-4N Ayit isnt better than a yak 130 but does beat the hawk.
It’s 10.7 because Gaijin thinks you will take the AIM-9Ls.
See the 2 different Alpha Jets in Japan, same Ground CAS but 2 very different BRs.
No, Ayit CAS loadout is this
its 11.3 for ground battles mate and thats not because of 9L as they can appear at 10.0 on the sea harrier. where a 9L is dead weight in the way of more cas strike weapons.
the blanket nerf was just rather brutal to some already overtiered planes and inconsistently done
Well having 9Ls seems to bump GRB BR by 2 steps (0.7), Alpha Jet A is 9.0 while TH is 9.7.
So if we add 0.7 BR to Yak-130 (10.3), it puts it at 11.0. To make it 11.3, add in the UK Tax of 0.3 BR. Therefore it lands at the appropriate 11.3 GRB BR. It makes entire sense in Gaijin logic.
it gets AIM-9p-4 which are far far inferior to the 9L. they make the hawk 209 (an already frankly abysmally crap plane) valueless as youre missiles are hardly out of gun distances.
it also gets no self guided weapons at all. they are all dumbfire. 0.7 BR more for any kind of a2a missile is fine i guess but a little odd considering its a CAS plane not a CAP plane
in the case of hawk 200 its taking a 7.3 airframe, slapping CCIP/CCRP and RWR on it with two extra hardpoints with very short range FnF a2g. then moving it from 7.0 to 11.3. considering i still think the hawk T1a is overtiered at 7.0 for what it offers for CAS and its already an unbelievably huge BR jump im sure you can see the BR variance is inconsistent as hell.
I mean Gaijin doesnt balance it that way if they get guided A2G weapons as they assume you will take the best A2G Weapon + best AA missiles at the same time… Maybe they can do something with custom BRs

custom BRs if done right are going to be a saving grace for this game. theres a lot of crap planes because they got too advanced or not advanced enough weapons so its got potential
