  • What are your thoughts on changing premium vehicles?
    I would rather have game balance than to keep vehicles overperforming, premium or not. That being said, this isn't anything out of the ordinary for Gaijin to do, and I don't think it's unfair since it's always known that any vehicle can change at any time, regardless of how much you pay for it.

    As a MiG-23ML owner I have no issue with it getting nerfed to be realistic. While I will miss the current flight model, I'm glad it will be made accurate. Worst case scenario, they need to bump it down in BR and I don't have to fight F-15's and their 4 IRCCM missiles at the cost of relearning the plane and treating it as a missile bus instead of a jack of all trades plane.

      I just said that the guy who said that MiG-23 will still have some energy retention is wrong and also said why exactly he’s wrong
      And yeah, in the current “missile spam” META dogfights are almost non-existent phenomena so this nerf won’t change much for 23’s gameplay but in the late game (1v1, 2v2 etc) 23 will be one of the worst planes of the BR cause it won’t be able to win a duel even against F-4
      About starfighters, A and C are the most broken planes of the entire game, their top speed on the deck is higher than that of the F-16 or MiG-29, they have pretty much the same acceleration as F-16/MiG-29, they carry Vulcan which is the best gun in the game and face fckng subsonics that can’t even launch a missile in their ass cause they have none. Oh and both of these planes can pull 17G at 1.4M without losing their wings lmao. 104G is also not bad.
      Any other starfighter is a joke with a little chances to not die in first 2 minutes and even less chances to kill someone. So everyone should skip 104J, 104SASA (aka 104ASS) and shouldn’t buy things like F-104S TAF

It was very enjoyable and i think the r24r makes the mig23ml one the strongest plane at its br, the r24r is even suprisingly effective in an uptier and can catch enemies offguard. However i do think it was overperforming a little bit, i was able to beat f15s in rate fights and 1v2 planes that probably shouldn't have been possible, however seeing the changes gaijin is gonna implement, they seem rather harsh.

    The problem with 'never changing the premiums' is pretty well illustrated by WoWs. The only way to deal with overperforming premium vechicle is to remove it from sales in that case. Which leads to FOMO, powercreep(even faster).
    It's better to include a "stats may change in the future" as a disclaimer and balance premiums as any other vechicle.

    Seek, if this game is allowed to just make up non-historical values for planes for the sake of balance then I won't be playing it. I play WT for the history and the accuracy. The BR is supposed to balance the plane, not fake flight models.
    If they nerf the FMs and downtier the plane then no harm no foul and the plane would still be fun (arguably more fun at lower BRs) to fly. The last thing I want is for Gaijin to think it's OK to make values up. Wargaming makes values up and WoT/ WoWP/WoWS are the result. I want a vehicle game not a fantasy game.

I'm not saying Gaijin hasn't done that before, though I'm also not aware of them having done that previously, but assuming a world where they are consistent in their logic and actions, I could see it being bad for the game to not nerf something just because it is sold. There's a difference between putting something in at a criminally low BR/exaggerating its performance to drive sales vs something getting nerfed as a natural consequence of the way the game is made; and I think this case falls into the latter category.

    I am okay with slight changes to performance/br for the sake of balance. However, when they intentionally keep premium vehicles low in BR and then raise them significantly after tons of people have bought them and claim it was just an oversight or an oopsie is wrong.
    This isn't to say that they should never raise BRs of premium vehicles, but they are made to sell, not to balance, which is causing problems. Instead, they need to err the other way and give them conservatively high BR's and lower them if need be, that way players feel like they are getting what they paid for

    Since it's a nerf that makes the FM more accurate then I thing it should absolutely be implemented. It's unfortunate that a $70 was also caught in the crossfire but most people that bought it have had plenty of time to use it in its unnerfed state.
    Also it's not like it will become unusable after the change. It will still be a good aircraft that you can perform decently at the BR. You just won't be able to dogfight F-16s and Mig-29s anymore. This is a good change.

So it was the best 11.3 plane and after nerf it will be one of the worst 11.3 planes (if not the worst cause most players think that F-4S is the worst and MiG-23 will be even worse) so that’s not the Gripen’s story😅

    It was never supposed to perform this well this long. They did it to test missiles and made drag changes to the missiles but forgot the aircraft, they even have a post about why. The mig 23/27s are even worse irl then the nerf so it only makes since to do this as it's way overpreforming. This same thing happened to the ardvark.
    I 100% agree with the change as long as it's been proven (it has) and historical. Same would be said for any vehicle

    i dont think its a scam, but i don't think the price fits or warrants a 70$ digital jet. Same thing with the tanks... i dont think Click Bait, CHallenger 2OES or RAAM Segal should be a 70$ tank either. I believe all premium vehicles over $30.00 USD should go down $10-15 USD too make the prices reflect the times. Also if Gaijin wants to charge more for a premium vehicle pack, then they should add more incentive like an extra 2k GE or an extra 30 days of premium with a guarenteed ingame title and profile picture. That would in my opinion warrent the $70 price tag call it [ (Pack Name)] Ultimate Collectors Pack.

    Having played the MLA (which has the same FM and missiles) and the MLD, I disagree with you with all my soul: the whole ML series is busted at 11.3. The R-24R is ridiculously good and the planes have excellent flight performance, which I find very helpful even in Missile Thunder as they greatly improve your survivability and endgame potential, especially if your teammates aren't the most reliable. Downtiers in these planes are borderline ASMR for how easily you club everyone at 10.3. 70$ or not, if this thing is to stay at 11.3, it deserves a nerf. Paying a lot is not a reason to make the life of lower BR planes miserable whenever they encounter you.

    I dont really understand what's people's problem. Many vehicles get changed even drastically on a regular basis and that's why we have BR system. If it will be a significant change it can and most lilkely will go down in BR which we will make it still viable.

  • @XYVTN
    @XYVTN 15 днів тому

    I personally think if a premium is just too good or op, or better than its tech tree counterpart a nerf is more than justified, no matter how many people bought it. They have every right to change the vehicles they release at any point. So in this case its just on the consumers end to read the terms and conditions. Whether Gaijin does it on purpose to release a premium at an overtuned state as a cash grab, just to nerf it afterwards, we don't know. But my rule in these cases is too simply wait 1 or 2 weeks after the vehicles release to see where it'll end up.
    Now in the case of the MiG-23 I find it a bit odd, because they say its not really a nerf, but a correction from what I know and I am just baffled that it took them so long to "fix" that. The MiG-23s were never particularly overpowered or outstanding and the ML doesn't meet any of the above mentioned characteristics. Its not OP, too good, or better than its tech tree counterpart, but then again, this "correction" applies to all MiG-23s.

    • @vavord5181
      @vavord5181 14 днів тому

      Both are great in their own ways. J-7E is absolutely the best performing (in terms of flight characteristics) 11.0 in the entire game. While bis is not that great FM-wise and compensates it with 2 more mediocre missiles.

  • @hubril7921
    @hubril7921 15 днів тому

    the best option would be decompressing the BRs and keep the historical accuracies, so even with a drastic change like this a simple br adjustment is more than enough to keep all the fun, balance and accuracy.
    but gaijin is gaijin and they will absolutly refuse to increase the BR cap more than 0.3 every major update and will keep looking for that easy cash from clueless plane nerds

  • @KaguyasBeat
    @KaguyasBeat 15 днів тому

    It's a great plane when it is top BR. It is mid when it is bottom BR. But what honestly isn't? I had an F-5E complaining about me getting 3 kills in my "Overpowered MiG-23" when we were both top BR. Truly incredible. I killed one Draken with the 24R which, unsurprising, a lot of people at that BR don't see actually competent radar missiles and don't know basic avoidance of them, and then another two guys with R60's tunneled on two of my teammates. Seems blatantly busted.
    At any rate I don't think it's terrible because if it is overperforming and they're going for "semi-realisitic" that's fine. It's just super interesting the timing of such a change after the way it's been for so long now. They acknowledge a bug report on it made only within the last month and further that by basically saying "Oh yea... we forgot to change it back when we were testing it with its missiles on board"

    • @GregBarsini
      @GregBarsini 13 днів тому

      The Drakens don't have RWRs, they most likely didn't know you fired at them in the first place. They also have no CM or 12 in total with 6 deployments at max. The only thing you can do in a Draken against radar missiles is always have the altitude of a garden shed or not be there in the first place. While I agree that not a lot of people know how to fly against radar missles, in case of the Draken it was more of a capability gap.

    • @KaguyasBeat
      @KaguyasBeat 13 днів тому

      @@GregBarsini Is that not what I'm saying? RWR or not people at that BR generally don't understand how they work to begin with and are not doing the simplest thing of flying on the deck to avoid them. Chaff is useless if you don't notch against CW seekers. Nevermind that even a lot of higher BR Jets can't even detect the MiG-23's J-band radar either, which it is well known for. That's literally why I said it was unsurprising I killed the guy lol. It's not just the game not giving him what he "needs". He likely has no idea how to begin using those means at that BR because it doesn't see competent radar missiles unless it's being uptiered against F-4S's and MiG-23's. I've been there with the F-1 right after the F-4S came out. Could've avoided a lot of unnecessary deaths if I knew about multipathing.

    How and why is this now suddenly an issue? War thunder since the beginning has been buffing and nerfing premiums, and now it’s suddenly an issue? No, if you want to see what the game would be if they never changed premiums, take a look at WOT. WT prides itself on its accuracy, and sure, while it has many faults, that doesn’t make it not-ok to nerf a clearly unrealistically over-performing premium.
    I was always puzzled by the MiG-23’s flight performance since it’s decently well known that it was, just like the F4 phantom, designed as a missile bus, and just like the F4 Phantom, it was not very manoeuvrable whatsoever. The fact this thing can win a dogfight with an F-5 is just silly really.

    It's not that the plane was shifted in BR, or that a new plane was added to completely roflstomp it - that already happened with the F-16 and F-15, as well as the MIG-29;
    It's that the actual product that I bought is suddenly being manipulated - and more importantly, being ADVERSELY manipulated.
    If I buy a Tesla, and Elon decides to limit my acceleration due to his own reasons, you bet your ass I'll sue.
    If they go through with the nerf, I'll be demanding a refund - be it in IRL cash or GJN.
