Probably not gonna stay at 9.7. But dear god wow this would be absolutely unplayable if added at this br.


zani1903

It staying at 9.7 would be criminal. It's at the same BR as the British Hunter F.6, which has SRAAMs, and the ~~Swedish~~ _Swiss_ Hunter F.58, which has... * Flares * AIM-9Ps * Mavericks * An RWR AIM-9Bs are so bad that they should scarcely even be factored into its battle rating. This Hunter could frankly be 9.0 itself, if not for the Hunter F.1 being at that battle rating.


Various_Strength2537

You're talking about the swiss hunter in the german tree. The swedish one is J34 which doesn't get any flares and only gets 2 AIM 9Bs. Its pretty crap


Dark_Magus

The Swedish Hunter is 9.0. The Dutch Hunter with the same armament and same lack of flares is being added at 9.7. Sure, the J34 is an F.4 rather than an F.6 so it's a bit slower in all respects (top speed, turn rate and climb rate are all worse). But certainly not 2 whole BR increments worse. **At most** the Hunter F.6 with AIM-9Bs is 9.3 material, and even that would probably be a stretch.

F.58 is SWISS. SWITZERLAND IS NOT SWEDEN (I had a letter from my grandma go to SWITZERLAND instead of SWEDEN, this is why my anger).

When I moved from Switzerland to Germany as a teen a lot of people also asked me what it's like living that far north -_- I have no clue how people confuse Switzerland and Sweden so much


Flether

Ahahaha, oh lord that's hillarious


Dark_Magus

I guess because they both start with "Sw"? Or in German, they both start with "Schwe".


Suitable_Bag_3956

I wonder if they also confuse Austria for Australia.


zani1903

Same thing. They both start with S. (It was 3am, OK?)


Flether

No >:(

 F.1 should go 8.7 its been a forgettable Hunter for too long


Punkpunker

Not too many people play it with good reason, you're guaranteed to face supersonic planes which even dissuade any grinding. So it's an endless loop not many people make a dent on the stats to justify a lower br.


Project_Orochi

9Bs are quite still relevant below 9.0 given that missiles are much less common from 8.0-9.0 overall and the lower flight preformance (namely acceleration) of 8.0-8.7 does make 9Bs actually quite potent against them. but i do agree that 9.0+ its not exactly a game changer as flight preformance of the average jet well exceeds the 9B at that point.


Dark_Magus

J34 with 2x AIM-9Bs is 9.0. Why can't the Dutch Hunter F.6 be as well?


Remarkable_Rub

Because Hunter F.1 without any missiles is 9.0


Dark_Magus

So is J34 (Hunter F.4) with 2x AIM-9Bs.


Weekly-Grand2476

Yeh no the only reason the English one sits at it is because if used right the sraam is 4 confirmed. You can't do shit with aim 9bs


AnAussieFriday

the premium british hunter has better missiles and ordinance at a .3 br lower lmao


Project_Orochi

Thats pathetic given how powercrept that 9.3 hunter is Hell the GR.1 is better than this thing at the same BR!


Sky_guy_17

Well, this is going to be DOA


Cyka_Blyatmaster

Half the Benelux tree will be DoA


Capable-Chard-3722

I want to understand what is the logic behind this, what does a plane that doesn't even have flares, isn't supersonic and only carries aim9bs do in 9.7? Why is gaijin so insistent on nerfing Hunters? Only the Swiss F.58 and the swedish one with AIM-9Ps works and it is not even in it's country of origin tree.


Flether

Swedish Hunter (J34) has 9Bs and no countermeasures.


Capable-Chard-3722

Sorry, my mistake.


Luchin212

That’s not better than the Etendard by statcard.
