@@jamislife5406 While i feel bad for the italians in this case, i just cant not support the nerf, the 104s have been a plague in their bracket for the longest time and tbh its deserved
I've been using the XS to farm sweden, and lemme tell ya, it is SUFFERING. I get dunked on 90% of the time. I'm by no means a good jet player, but with it's missile loadout, lack of flares, and no missile warning, it almost can't do anything unless you head is permanently on a swivel. I'm lucky to score 1 or 2 kills every 4 games or so. I've just started taking 4-6 missiles and 2-4 rocket pods. If I get uptiered, I go for a base first before turning around on enemy jets, just to make sure I'm not a complete waste for the team.
@@artemisthehunter8360when you’re in an F4C, it makes very little difference if you’re fighting IRCCM or not. If they shoot sn all aspect missile at you, youre probably cooked. Only difference is coping with rocket pods as flares isn’t viable
@@ILLESTGS Why? If you die to A-10 in a fighter like Draken its your fault only, even if you dont have countermeasures. You can just avoid its range and theres nothing A-10 can do. Crusaders are infinitely worse to deal with to be honest, worse missiles but a flight performance that can easily keep up with J35
@@jez_77 The AIM-9L/M has a surprising amount of range. Considering the amount of people flying out the A-10 from what I've seen, whether its the A or the C, you could be walled off from entire sections of the map because an A-10 is nearby. Theoretically, a squad of A-10As would be essentially moving Airfield AA to flareless planes, and an entire squad of A-10Cs would be like moving Airfield AA to anything that has less than 60 countermeasures. You would now have unskilled players not running back to their airfield, but running back to their local A-10C Iron Dome. Talk about how unfair airfield camping can be with the rolands? Now imagine it flying at you, albeit slowly, shielding you away from parts of the map. Its important to realize the A-10 Iron Dome strat is only theoretical and I haven't seen anyone do it. It would be cool to see whether it works or not tho.
@@-..----.--.-... my issue isn't the j7 mines the jets with irccm missles below 11.7 (jaguar is, su25's, and a10) which in a way is a good thing becuse I had enough of the F5 spam and it's absolutely busted fm/dm
I bought the J35 back when it was fun and had a great time for a while, until Gaijin brought the A10. It wasnt really usable anymore but they also presented the J35XS which i refused to get because wtf, its the same friggin plane with better missiles and IR tracking and whoho 12 flares. 2 Years later i somehow buy the J35XS anyways and now this shit happens. This is such a bait, it hurts even to think about it.
I got about half the Swedish tech tree done with thing prior to the changes and I stopped then, because I started questioning why I doong it? Sweden now has no good grinder, the tree is extremely boring and tedious, and the Swedish Gripen isn't even worth it anymore 🙄
Thank You so much for this video 🙏 I write to Gaijin almost every Day to fix this plane. This is deasaster that planes from the swedish tech tree are better on the same BR and this is for 70$. I wasted my money. Love You man ❤
Not only the J35XS was ruined, but the entire 11.3 bracket was ruined by making F14s plus a goddamn event F14 sit at 12.3, getting downtiers in 90% of games and shitting on everybody below them. F14 gets to play against planes with no PD radar, with no SARH missiles, often with no RWR and Gaijin just doesn't care ! Premium F4EJ, premium F104S and many more are mostly powerless against the F14 hordes, they are just food for them. And this way once again, Gaijin will force players to buy something at a higher tier in order to stand a chance against the F14 spam.. Well done Gaijin
I agree entirely with this. It’s sad how gaijin ruined the F4S/J/UK/all of them at 12.0 by thinking we need another fucking F14 to ruin what was already an abomination of a BR being 12.3. And now because of this stupid event, I see level 9 players flying their tomcats after watching top gun. I recently bought the J35XS as I was pissed using the su27sm against superior planes like the gripen which is why I bought it. And I’m honestly starting to regret it now that also at the same BR somehow we have the most unbalanced A10 in the game also to completely shit on planes in both uptiers and downtiers. This game is going to shit if gaijin doesn’t do something about the BRs again.
@@TorstenP-cq4gl yeah but I fear thats not gonna change gaijins mind one bit. Players will be mad but new players will still buy premiums and give them money. Gaijin in return will think there are no problems apparently since the sales are good and the game will remain the same shit forever.
yep but you know what, people on reddit keep saying F-14 are balanced and it's a matter of skill issue. "Phantoms are superior to F-14 they have better loadout, speed and turning and everything, just stay low and chaff ffs" lmao 11.3 is cursed for every nation unless it's holy 3 (US, RU, GER) period. I sadly bought Canard since it was only option for Israel to grind but it's unplayable at 11.3 with 2x AIM-9G and just bombs and 36 flares.
When the J35XS br was increased I immediately went and started to use the J35A to finish up my grind until I got the AJ37 which made the grind a lot easier. Using the J35A wasn’t too bad but not nearly as torturous as using the J35XS
I bought this damned dorito a literal day before the BR change. This was frustrating to say the least. My very first top tier experience was kinda disapointing. Thanks gaijin.
Damn dude I feel. I got a bunch of premium packs during the 10 year anniversary to see them no longer be able to research top tier. Dejavu tho cause some other prick was like wah my top tiers no longer can stomp newbies. idiot couldn't stop to think that my rank 6 premiums no longer can research the whole tree and apparently the j35a is so op at its br when a10 and su 25k were at 10.0 before....
I bought it on sale before decompression, played like 25 games, managed 3.0kd on it, it was instantly one of the most fun planes to use for me. Challenging, yes, but very rewarding if used correctly (which means as a delta wing dogfighter, not base bomber as 99% players use it lmao). Then after BR decompression I wanted to research Gripen to fly it on 13.0, but holy shit, Draken is unplayable right now. In like 40 games I played ONCE below 12.0 and it was still on 11.7 with Migs-23MLs. Someone in Gaijin really woke up one day and thought "yeah, that dorito with 12 countermeasures and no rwr is gonna be perfectly fine against F-14s in every match, lets do it!"
The 11.3 BR for some jets or premiums is in preparation for a new top tier premium. Guarantee a new br will be announced so a 12.3 or 12.7 br premium will be justifiable
I am a low level player and bought this plane during the sale I admit but I was still able for the little time I had have fun jn it and I made it all the way from like 3.0 props to 7.7 jets but once those br changes came I barely made any progress and I rarely had and matches where I didn’t die. Right now this thing is a sad waste of money and it will anger me severely if they within the next update introduce a new Swedish premium. I hope gaijin will realize their mistake with this plane and at least lower the br
I have to correct you in one point: You were very commonly at 11.0/11.3 before the BR changes, due to the many F-4S players. However, this usually saved you from encountering too many tomcats, because those were at 11.7. You did see them occasionally, but rarely. Now though? Absolute pain, especially when you look at the J-7E, which is only 11.0
I can say the same about the STRV103-0. At 7.7 I was fighting 6.7 heavy tanks with only aphe. Now I constantly fight 8.7 tanks with APFSD making the armor useless.
The fact that this version has an objectively worse offensive armament (not missiles) than the j35d and gaijin saw fit to lob it into 11.3/11.3 where even though it doesnt have pd and even though it doesnt have radar missiles blows my mind.
the whole swedish air techtree is a mess. The J35XS is hurt by not having enough countermessures to also run chaff, you cant relaibably multipath and your missiles are only rear aspect. The gun is not so easy to aim.
Yeh, the FM + BR changes made the plane just horrible to play. I finished the swedish TT before all of the above got changed and then played it again to grind the C Gripen and my k/d dropped big time. From around 5 to just below 4. Its ridiculous how bad this thing feels right now
I bought it, enjoyed it for 3 days, went on vacation and when I came back it suddenly was unplayable. At one point it took me 30 full uptier games in a row to get 1 kill. Why would this thing still be considered a premium jet?
I really hope Gaijin puts this back in 10.7. I'm really trying to grind for the new gripen for my ground rb lineup but these matches are terrible (especially after they nerfed rocketing bases)
we dont need good luck grinding the gripen because just as gaijin has overtiered j35xs, it has undertiered ja37c which has its sparrows and better than 12.0 tier PD radar at 11.3 too for some reason
@@SeekerHead I actually started spading the 37C to see how they fare and its so, so much better its not funny. Once you unlock the Skyflashes it prints RP even without a talisman. Barely anyone bothers to notch at that BR so you're practically guaranteed at least 2 kills a game. Then you turn off the PD and have 4/6th of the 35XS missile loadout on a better platform with 4x the countermeasures. If you'd like, could make a fair comparison followup to this video (once I'm done getting the Gripen C with it ;) )
This was one of my most played vehicles and grinded up to the JA37C with it before the last BR change. Since then, I haven’t crewed it or even looked at it so kudos to you for taking the L and playing it right now.
I bought this plane on sale and played little bit with it and it was ok but i focused my grind elsewhere... and then update came and i legit thought its 11.3 was a mistake or its ground rating...played 3 games and just excepted i lost $40 bucks or whatever i paid.
I bought it in sale didnt play it for a week (if only i knew😭)it became like this, ended up just grinding with it to rank V never used it again, its horrible, finished the tree tho without it.
Bought it during last year anniversary sale but didnt have time to play much WT, then I moved to another country for a job and only now got some time to play WT again, only to basically experience what you shown in the beginning. I was like WTF, since when does this thing face F14s.. How the hell this thing gone up straight to 11.3? While F14s stayed... Im pissed, cause I dont have much time for gaming nowadays and was excited to finally grind Swedish air tree.. FML
talking about a premium that is definetely worth it is the A-5C for china aswell, not only to grind bases but to play in general too, it gets 2 magic 1s and a load capable of getting 2 bases while its engine can keep and gain speed very easily, its a insane energy trapper fr
I am so happy i got this thing when i did, i bought mine around about when the last update dropped and i was able to grind the JAS39C with it before these dreadful battle rating changes. I feel really bad for anyone who wants a JAS39 now, this thing would be truly miserable to fly with the BR changes.
One thing that would immensely fix these sorts of issues of it just being unfair to be on the receiving end would be to change the matchmaking. Even if it was just +/-0.7 instead of 1.0, that would make a HUGE difference.
Reminds me of the J35A. I remember how broken that thing was when it came out, despite its missiles. I use the D as the Sweden grinder these days instead and I’m glad I didn’t get the XS now lol.
At least the J35 has good airframe. I'm playing with my F-4EJ that the radar is bugged and RIO isn't even simulated, so it is a block with the same missiles as J35 (RB24J = AIM-9P).
Everytime I look at it I think of the gif of Noctis sitting on his throne in Final Fantasy. This thing used to be a king and I would drop ace every other game. Now it's a dead king and it'll sit in my closet.
I use this thing to grind half of the Swedish tech tree. By then I just questioned about why am I so bad, I cant even get 1 kill in 2-3 matches. After I grinded JA37C and finally being able to play the JAS39C, I realized it is not my skill, the whole purpose of this thing is just to tell you how good it is to slam dunk radar missiles on your opponent.
Not having 4-5 zombie J35XS rocketing bases and then crashing themselves every single match has been an amazing change. Yall can thank those dudes for this things BR
Not only the br change but it faces spamcats which it cant do ANYTHING AGAINST and also the maps size makes it not able to use full afterburner even witb full fuel and feul pods
I had just finished researching the Mig-21 when they made those BR changes. I was so sick of trying to play this thing at 11.3 so instead I just chucked a talisman on the Mig-21 and finished the tree with that.
The GE A32A is a more solid grinder to get you to rank 7 then you have nice options there to put a tailisman like the JAS37C or MiG21 BIS to finish to rank 8
Gaijin introducing new top BR brackets only to compress it even harder than before. That and introducing massive nerf hammers to premium jets while they're on sale.
This and the lazur M are placed at such uncomfortable brs that they are often put in uptiers with jets like the f16 and f14 which imo both are just lightyears ahead of the xs and Lazur M. And they get nothing but uptiers. I believe it goes without saying how big brain gaijin is by putting its expensive premium packs (which i have both) at brs that they are just unsuitable to do anything but mop up and hope you arent targeted in the furball.
@@mikeyplayzwrldI have it and yes. It literally got the fakour and sedjeel buff they have 20g and AOA of a sparrow with turning. 100 percent 12.7, it will still be op at 12.7 don’t worry
Fr I really hoped someone would bring this up because I thought I was just bad at the game but I guess not because the J35XS is waaaayyyyyy overtiered.
I think i had 500-ish kills in the j35D, i oived that plane and flew it a lot and bought it skins before gaijin ruined its flightmodel and gave it early SARH BR with no flares, chaff or RWR.
Honestly, this thing was just a misery to fly at 10.7, it's such a one dimensional plane that even after having it for a year, have barely bothered to grind anything. 11.3 is nuts.
You should do a Kfir Canard video aswell. Also correct me if I'm wrong but when I use the Canard the RWR doesn't work against radar missiles, its just for show. The J35XS and canard have easily suffered the most for this change.
Just slap a talisman on the 37C if you need a swedish premium (it actually gets higher RP bonuses than this thing lol). That thing is a monster, completely researched the top tier grippen in like 2 hours
Bought it while I didn’t know about BR changes, was suffering gaijin finally released new BR changes now I get kills thanks gaijin for totally not wasting my money
Tornado ain't that worse I got it myself 2 aim 9ls and enough to bomb 2 bases with good speed is certainly not really something bad yeah I mean it's fm for sure is but it's not made for df or anything of that sort anyways so
I got both prem drakens because I loved the 9.7 one so much I bought the XS and then that was my favorite for a while now I’m lucky if I get a kill when I was getting consistent 3-5 kills a match
I grinded Swedish jets without the j35xs, its like playing game on hard mode all jets are trash except gripen which surely will be trash soon as gaijin keeps on nerfing it another nerf is coming regarding the turn rate which is implemented over the dev mode probably next update
The last BR changes were god awful all around. F4J is now unplayable on America being just 0.3 BR below the Iranian F14. Im not even making the attempt to play Phantoms anymore and have just dropped back to the F5E. Even though it’s less RP gains it’s significantly more playable.

the whole swedish air techtree is a mess. The J35XS is hurt by not having enough countermessures to also run chaff, you cant relaibably multipath and your missiles are only rear aspect. The gun is not so easy to aim.
As a guy that just finished sweden air grinding with that i can confirm
After the disgraceful Rocket nerf I said the Gripen nerf goodbye its pretty much too Overpowered anyways
Yeh, the FM + BR changes made the plane just horrible to play. I finished the swedish TT before all of the above got changed and then played it again to grind the C Gripen and my k/d dropped big time. From around 5 to just below 4. Its ridiculous how bad this thing feels right now
I bought it, enjoyed it for 3 days, went on vacation and when I came back it suddenly was unplayable. At one point it took me 30 full uptier games in a row to get 1 kill. Why would this thing still be considered a premium jet?
I really hope Gaijin puts this back in 10.7. I'm really trying to grind for the new gripen for my ground rb lineup but these matches are terrible (especially after they nerfed rocketing bases)
It is now down to 11.0
It’s 11.0 rn
we dont need good luck grinding the gripen because just as gaijin has overtiered j35xs, it has undertiered ja37c which has its sparrows and better than 12.0 tier PD radar at 11.3 too for some reason
Viggen isn’t premium though and will take twice as long to grind with
@@SeekerHeadhalf off talisman on it is the only hope
@@SeekerHead I actually started spading the 37C to see how they fare and its so, so much better its not funny. Once you unlock the Skyflashes it prints RP even without a talisman.
Barely anyone bothers to notch at that BR so you're practically guaranteed at least 2 kills a game. Then you turn off the PD and have 4/6th of the 35XS missile loadout on a better platform with 4x the countermeasures.
If you'd like, could make a fair comparison followup to this video (once I'm done getting the Gripen C with it ;) )
@@awalay-wz3nh how are you going to even get to the viggen without the j35xs
@@Duality.12 j35d
And to think the f4c is at 10.7 with am9e’s, horrible radar, and no flairs
This was one of my most played vehicles and grinded up to the JA37C with it before the last BR change. Since then, I haven’t crewed it or even looked at it so kudos to you for taking the L and playing it right now.
WHY DOES MY DORITO HAVE TO FIGHT FOX-3S
bro I'm so sad genuinely was do fun and I remember your vid when you recommended it
I bought this plane on sale and played little bit with it and it was ok but i focused my grind elsewhere... and then update came and i legit thought its 11.3 was a mistake or its ground rating...played 3 games and just excepted i lost $40 bucks or whatever i paid.
I bought it in sale didnt play it for a week (if only i knew😭)it became like this, ended up just grinding with it to rank V never used it again, its horrible, finished the tree tho without it.
Bought it during last year anniversary sale but didnt have time to play much WT, then I moved to another country for a job and only now got some time to play WT again, only to basically experience what you shown in the beginning. I was like WTF, since when does this thing face F14s.. How the hell this thing gone up straight to 11.3? While F14s stayed... Im pissed, cause I dont have much time for gaming nowadays and was excited to finally grind Swedish air tree.. FML
talking about a premium that is definetely worth it is the A-5C for china aswell, not only to grind bases but to play in general too, it gets 2 magic 1s and a load capable of getting 2 bases while its engine can keep and gain speed very easily, its a insane energy trapper fr
When you spend money on a decent premium, the only valid one in a tree, and Gaijin just turns your money into shit.
I am so happy i got this thing when i did, i bought mine around about when the last update dropped and i was able to grind the JAS39C with it before these dreadful battle rating changes.
I feel really bad for anyone who wants a JAS39 now, this thing would be truly miserable to fly with the BR changes.
One thing that would immensely fix these sorts of issues of it just being unfair to be on the receiving end would be to change the matchmaking. Even if it was just +/-0.7 instead of 1.0, that would make a HUGE difference.
yeah cant kill base have 12 flare no RWR in fox 3 era and just 4 G trun where is my speed . and gaijin add more 9 M in this br💀
new br change: 11.0
still kinda ass imho, but with the f14s getting slightly moved up its a liiiiiiiiiittle better
Reminds me of the J35A. I remember how broken that thing was when it came out, despite its missiles. I use the D as the Sweden grinder these days instead and I’m glad I didn’t get the XS now lol.
At least the J35 has good airframe. I'm playing with my F-4EJ that the radar is bugged and RIO isn't even simulated, so it is a block with the same missiles as J35 (RB24J = AIM-9P).
Everytime I look at it I think of the gif of Noctis sitting on his throne in Final Fantasy. This thing used to be a king and I would drop ace every other game. Now it's a dead king and it'll sit in my closet.
I use this thing to grind half of the Swedish tech tree. By then I just questioned about why am I so bad, I cant even get 1 kill in 2-3 matches. After I grinded JA37C and finally being able to play the JAS39C, I realized it is not my skill, the whole purpose of this thing is just to tell you how good it is to slam dunk radar missiles on your opponent.
Not having 4-5 zombie J35XS rocketing bases and then crashing themselves every single match has been an amazing change. Yall can thank those dudes for this things BR
They nerfed the rockets AND moved it up in BR
So glad I got to the Viggens before the BR changes
37C pretty strong now, 37D kind of suffered though
Shoot I just bought this thing. At least it was only $35 on sale
I did aswell... fml.
Not only the br change but it faces spamcats which it cant do ANYTHING AGAINST and also the maps size makes it not able to use full afterburner even witb full fuel and feul pods
I had just finished researching the Mig-21 when they made those BR changes. I was so sick of trying to play this thing at 11.3 so instead I just chucked a talisman on the Mig-21 and finished the tree with that.
Yeah, I've pretty much resigned myself to grinding out the Gripen with the AMX-1A instead. Mid-tier Sweden is rough.
The GE A32A is a more solid grinder to get you to rank 7 then you have nice options there to put a tailisman like the JAS37C or MiG21 BIS to finish to rank 8
Gaijin introducing new top BR brackets only to compress it even harder than before. That and introducing massive nerf hammers to premium jets while they're on sale.
This was my swedish grinder, i haven't played Sweden since the update. Should be 11.0 or lower, whatever br stops the f14 matching.
This and the lazur M are placed at such uncomfortable brs that they are often put in uptiers with jets like the f16 and f14 which imo both are just lightyears ahead of the xs and Lazur M.
And they get nothing but uptiers.
I believe it goes without saying how big brain gaijin is by putting its expensive premium packs (which i have both) at brs that they are just unsuitable to do anything but mop up and hope you arent targeted in the furball.
Well glad I used it early to reach toptier with it before all nerfs
The f14 iraf needs to go to 12.7
Nope.
@@mikeyplayzwrldI have it and yes. It literally got the fakour and sedjeel buff they have 20g and AOA of a sparrow with turning. 100 percent 12.7, it will still be op at 12.7 don’t worry
Yeah I think it should be 12.7 as well. All these lvl 9 players have it now and they need to suffer at the hand of gaijins bullshit now.
Finally we’re talking about 😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏
Fr I really hoped someone would bring this up because I thought I was just bad at the game but I guess not because the J35XS is waaaayyyyyy overtiered.
I’m writting to gaijin every single Day on instagram and almost nobody support me
@@TorstenP-cq4gl FR 😭
I think i had 500-ish kills in the j35D, i oived that plane and flew it a lot and bought it skins before gaijin ruined its flightmodel and gave it early SARH BR with no flares, chaff or RWR.
seeing 12.3 with aim120, 12 cm and no rwr is crazy and the xs should not be seeing top tier missiles
its quite good in arcade its 10.3 with other planes and 10.0 without other planes in your lineup. I found i got into 9.3 matches quite alot
It’s not only the BR it’s also the rocket nerf they did so you can’t even go for bases now
It's crazy to meet Sparrow F without RWR
The j35XS is especially bad as it faces alot of radar missiles without RWR and with almost no flares while getting uptiered 95% of matches
exactly and some noobs are trying to say "SKILL ISSUE" xD
Your initial description of the J35XS makes it seem like it was an undertiered sealclubber.
That wasn’t the case, my bad
Literally bought this in the last big sale to grind the gripen and then the BR changes happened and ofc, because it's gaijin, no refunds
the J35A also got absolutely destroyed by gaijin after them adding more and more all aspect missiles at a lower br
I bought it and enjoyed it for a week. Now, it very much is unusable, and I just grinded the Gripen the old-fashioned way. It was painful
Damn at the start you had the whole enemy team behind you
Honestly, this thing was just a misery to fly at 10.7, it's such a one dimensional plane that even after having it for a year, have barely bothered to grind anything. 11.3 is nuts.
She needs her real life AIM-26 Falcon SARH missiles.
I was sadly a victim of the sale thinking I would have a fun grind to the gripen
the mig-23ml being 1 single br higher is simply insane tome
You should do a Kfir Canard video aswell. Also correct me if I'm wrong but when I use the Canard the RWR doesn't work against radar missiles, its just for show. The J35XS and canard have easily suffered the most for this change.
Just slap a talisman on the 37C if you need a swedish premium (it actually gets higher RP bonuses than this thing lol). That thing is a monster, completely researched the top tier grippen in like 2 hours
This is the same BR as the MIG21Bis.... enough said right?
The Nerf after the sale really pisses me off.
Bought it while I didn’t know about BR changes, was suffering gaijin finally released new BR changes now I get kills thanks gaijin for totally not wasting my money
F14s should face other aircraft with fox 3 missiles, they are so undertiered
Now just watch gaiijin add a Swedish F16A as a premium or something and give it the same kind of fate :/
The worst premium jet (Tornado) has a new contedner finally
Tornado ain't that worse I got it myself 2 aim 9ls and enough to bomb 2 bases with good speed is certainly not really something bad yeah I mean it's fm for sure is but it's not made for df or anything of that sort anyways so
It needs to go down or get some better missile options to fall in line with other jets at it's br
I got both prem drakens because I loved the 9.7 one so much I bought the XS and then that was my favorite for a while now I’m lucky if I get a kill when I was getting consistent 3-5 kills a match
I grinded Swedish jets without the j35xs, its like playing game on hard mode all jets are trash except gripen which surely will be trash soon as gaijin keeps on nerfing it another nerf is coming regarding the turn rate which is implemented over the dev mode probably next update
Man I really hate wasting my money on this. Was hoping to grind the Swedish Air tree finally just for them to do this....
Not worth it to play anymore in RB yeah. Still slaps in sim where half the playerbase at that BR isn't paying attention
At least someone made a video to understand the pain
The last BR changes were god awful all around. F4J is now unplayable on America being just 0.3 BR below the Iranian F14. Im not even making the attempt to play Phantoms anymore and have just dropped back to the F5E. Even though it’s less RP gains it’s significantly more playable.
This with the constant uptiers is super frustrating.
I am about to quit Swedish grind
If you have this jet. Do not use the radar. It does not have a radar, until the furball.
