While I despise CAS in general, pure strike fighter that cannot as effectively defend itself and is vulnerable to SPAA is less of a problem than a multi-role aircraft that can and will.

Played a bit of 5.3 recently and in downtiers while there were Yak-3s, there were also other CAS getting as many frags.
Though that’s not really relevant as that’s largely a skill citation.
Moving American planes up would be difficult. All but a select few are already outclassed by practically every nation in terms of low altitude dogfighting.
The only things American planes have going for them is very powerful A2G loadouts, which become almost entirely useless if there’s enemy planes.

It got moved up to 4.7 now (good change)
I think 5.0 or maybe 5.3 would be reasonable though.
Its flight performance starts to become an issue beyond that… and it’s definitely worse than the Yak-9UT, so it should be at least 0.7 BR lower in my opinion.
Yak-9UT is pretty reasonable at 6.0, though it could possibly go to 6.3.
F2G is spammed because it’s bad?
Or the F4u?
