"Idk why literally everyone ignores how oxy said like 6 times that the dev brs are completely placeholder, they arent adding a plane with 4 aim 9ms @ 11.3"

*Oh...*

[mrincogno]

I find it criminal that Gaijin thinks this thing should be the sane battle rating as the J35XS.

[PlexRex]

Disagree, I think it needs 12 AIM120s as well as 4 9Ms to help offset my skill issue.

[No_Feelings]

I'm not opposed to increasing it's BR, but removing the 9Ms and dropping a rating bracket wouldn't work as it would make the A-10A (late) useless since it would be the same BR. As always this is something that could be solved with proper decompression but we all know gaijin won't do that.

[awalay-wznh]

How did its HMD for 9ms even get into live server, it was very specifically known to not be able to use it for the aams

[SteelxWolf]

Gaijin, our consultants found evidence to suggest Lau-88 cannot be mounted on the side of the Litening pod due to concerns it would damage the optics.

Also Gaijin, gives it HMD slaved 9Ms.

Me: can I have a source on either of those? **IGNORED**

Also Gaijin: provided a F14 IRIAF airshow picture to prove R27 could be used on it even tho evidence was provided that clearly states it was impossible for the radar to guide it and it never worked in testing.

Is anyone shocked at this point?

[Floopuss]

3-4 A-10Cs in a squad can literally wipe out the entire enemy team by themselves easily.

[Drageckss]

The a-10c situation is crazy / insane / mental

[crazeelazee]

The relationship between Gaijin and attacker aircraft mains is a very interesting phenomenon. Despite them not being the main "demographic" of either air or ground battles, somehow they're the most pandered group in both cases.

[StealthCloudchaser]

Meanwhile the SU 24M at 11.3 being an RP piñata for every single plane at that BR lol.

[sovietbanana]

Another thing I would like to point out is that the su-25 t is at 11.7, and the sm3 is at 12.3. A plane with half the irccm missiles and same airframe at a higher br That’s just as slow. 11.3 is just fucking ridiculous for this plane.

[andsoiderparound]

The people who thinks that the A-10C won't be an issue are probably the same people who loved the A-10 when it was at 10.0 because they're so bad at the game that they need an aircraft to hand hold them. I'd bet these same people would want it to go down even lower.

[Jigglypoundage]

F104 S ASA players on suicide watch after every update (look I know it’s probably just me, but can they please work on their older planes)

[ebyr]

Gaijin has this sort of obsession about making every plane perform well stat-wise, including attackers. This ends up like you've said with groundpounders at way too low a BR for the weapons they have and dominating the matchmaker, but it also ends up with things like the MiG-19 at 9.3, F-104A at 9.3, Wyvern at wherever it is now, etc. The former two are slightly harder for your average player because their handling isn't an easy mouse aim adventure. Things like the MiG-21F-13 are at 9.3 because it has a limited ammo count and because deltas can be a bit harder to fly with their speed bleed. Those BR changes a few years back set a precedent that gave us supersonics creeping lower, which then powercrept korean war-era jets into lower BRs, and so on. It's not just an attacker issue, but the attackers are a symptom of it. Even now we have the yak 38 at 9.3 with FOUR R-60s because Gaijin can't allow a strike jet with a brick of a flight model to be worse stat-wise than a dogfighter.

[Luisasophie]

the problem is like on the discussion on the tomcat and bvr stuff, the people who profit of this unfair and broken brs are defending it with all they can because otherwise they must admit that they are not good but only exploiting broken br ranges

[just_a_meme]

Im surprised seek didnt talk about the fact the A-10C has an HMD for the 9M’s

[SK]

Top-tier has quickly become "what is the weapon kit?" and not "what's the plane's performance?" And I don't think there's an easy answer or "fix" for how to balance planes like this. Or any top-tier aircraft for that matter. Weapon development/performance quickly outpaced aircraft performance from the 70s onwards. I don't know where I'm going with this, but I do say I have to agree.. this is a game at the end of the day, and we haven't had historical matchmaking in several years, and it's very very unlikely to come back at this point, so we just have to deal with the Gaijin balance at this point and voice our opinions to them instead of fighting amongst ourselves

[KaguyasBeat]

When it comes to the R-73 vs the 9M... I can accidentally flare an R-73 I'm unaware of. I can't a 9M.

[giambattistaroberto]

finally someone that understand that aim9ms have no rights to be this low, but then there is magic 2 thats start at 10.7 if i remember correctly, one of the jaguar around that br has it.

[INeatFreak]

"They're gonna try to make it as realistic as possible" bold assumption when literally most of US vehicles are implemented half assed and missing bunch of it's capabilities.
F-15C MSIP didn't get it's countermeasure pods, A-10C didn't get it's Sniper targeting pod which allowed for it to carry 6x mavericks instead of 4x with the Litening II, don't even get me started on ground tech tree, it's much much worse on HSTV-L, Abrams and ADATS etc.
