[@thegreenbolt2819]

@@firestar7890 It would make sense for them to be at a lower br due to the flight performance of the British phantoms, and the fact that they have Aim 7E2s, not the Aim 7F. I fail to see how exactly is the British phantoms even considered equal to other PD planes like the Viggen D, Mig 23 ML(A or D), U.S. F4J, F4S, Mirage f1C, Tornado F3 and ADV, and Kfir C7 that are at the same or 11.7 br. Each one is much better than the British phantom in both flight performance and weaponry. The only way for the British phantoms to remain at 12.0br would be if it got Aim 9Ls. In its current state it is practically an 11.3br aircraft at the minimum.

The aim9d has got to be one of the best missiles at the br, and its on a strong airframe after the wingrip changes. Definite overlook on gaijoobles part.

[@bigmemer4398]

strong airframe with both flares and chaff and unparalleled high alt performance

[@LarySeeAircraft]

The D draken is also in a good spot staying at 10.3 while the primium XS is now 11.3. Yeah 2 less missles and no flairs, but you still got the nutty flight performance and since everything popular around it moved up it’s basically been moved down. (Oh and Grippy A is gaming at 13.0 being able to face 12.0 premium wall)

@@MrBosszillaGaming You could be in a Mirage IIIC which seems similar but mostly worse in every way. I might like magic 1s better than 9Ds. Especially since they buffed the magic range whenever that was.

[@kylebrady969]

Yeah cuz the F-8E(FN) sucks lol

The French also get Aim-9bs instead of Aim-9es on their F-100D and it's the same BR as the US one.

[@kylebrady969]

@@robertgaudet7407 Yeah that also sucks. To be fair, I'm sure IRL the US had some kind of policy in place for a while that limited the level of technology they sold to other NATO nations, so I could believe they only sold France, Belgium, etc. AIM-9B at first. The Soviets did the exact same with export models of their aircraft.

[@Soggy6613]

Love this plane. It was my main grinder to get to top tier. Almost never ripped my wings in it, and got plenty of kills in up tiers to 11.0 (before the update). Flying up to 5000m and picking off players far below with AIM-9Ds will never get old.

The Super Etendard is still 10.0 I think. It has really good flight performance for an attacker, two Magic 1, DEFA, 180 countermeasures and no afterburner allows it to bring about 10 minutes of fuel.

[@IK4MS]

10.3 and 140CMs now. The latter of which is almost certainly a bug but half of this plane is still dev server quality.

[@Boa74]

Gaijin should put more separation between: missiles or not, flares and no flares, radar missiles and not. If they mix different eras, it's a mess. There are subsonics jets without missiles and CM that fight at 10.0

[@dontknow-bg3wy]

crazy how the f-16a (BE) is 13.3 with no SARH or ARH missiles (higher BR than the F-15a/j/baz) also JH-7 gets the optimal A-A loadout stock making the other air to air missile modifications useles

The fact that the mig 15 or yak30 faces this constantly baffles me.

[@creepermariguano942]

yes they fixed them the stock grind its just horrible, 2 aim9bs, 4 aim9bs, get almost all of the mods tiers, aim9ds and its when the fun begins to make and use of the aim9ds you try to go to the sides, maybe to go to your base and wait the rush bombers to appear, use missiles and rearm if not, wait for everyone to go down and select objectives, flareless and careless aircraft
