The F-4F has better weaponry, speed, and climb rate. Now compare the Hunter with the F-4F, which is basically an F-4E but with no sparrows or countermeasures, in what world are these vehicles even remotely similar, either judging by the performance metric OR weaponry. Comparatively you can see how the F8U-2 could deserve 10.3 because it can easily get its kills independent of a team, it has a great climb rate and Aim-9Ds which have great tracking and range for the BR, it can hit targets from a long range and with its climb rate it can force people down. If somebody sees a Hunter F.6 and they know to run, they will, rendering the SRAAMs ineffective and leaving the Hunter F.6 to either chase the target or look for someone else. The Hunter F.6 due to it being subsonic favours an opportunist playstyle: getting its kills by way of third partying distracted enemies or killing unobservant enemies. However, to suggest that the Hunter F.6 is an equally strong vehicle as the 10.7s that are being moved down is ridiculous. Firstly I will say the F8U-2 is a well made choice, it deserves an uptier as it’s currently the most effective 10.0 because of its combination of raw performance and weaponry. Let’s start with the elephants in the room: The 10.7 Migs and the F-4F early going to 10.3, mean whilst the Hunter F.6 and F8U-2 go to 10.3. Regardless, the difference in performance between some of these vehicles which are now being put at the same BR is absolutely absurd, especially with respect to vehicles that already exist at the BRs they are being moved to. There is definitely a disparity between the effort required to get a kill with a plane that utilises performance over better weaponry but that is a conversation for another day. Note: the weaponry metric mostly applies for later tier jets for example the mig19 is 9.7 because of its raw performance, the harrier is also 9.7 because of its weaponry and avionics. BRs should indicate whether two vehicles can perform similarly in the sense that they either have similar raw performance or similarly capable weaponry – if the difference between either metric: raw performance or weaponry is too large then it simply does not make sense for them to be the same BR. If you ever needed any more evidence that the devs don’t play their own game – this is it. This discussion will mostly be about high tier jets.
