The better idea would to stop adding all the under BRed autocannon and SPH (in this case specifically the ones with proxy fuses) to the game.

Ok and what did I say?
I mean sure, but at least they wouldn’t have to face SPAA and autocannon lights that immediately delete them at 7.7+
You’re assuming that it is a bad thing
It’s too late for that now. They should’ve thought about it before they added the first few SPHs.
It is a bad thing to a significant % of the playerbase who does not want to see that.
This and multiple other things can obliterate cobra with ease
Or couple 12.7s disabling your weapon controls.

I mean sure, but others (like myself) want to see the game in a balanced state. A game where you can play any vehicle and expect them to be viable.
Be as realistic as you want with the mechanics and vehicles, but as long as they’re fun to play, I don’t mind.
Pbv 301 is a 1960s vehicle and it’s at 2.3 iirc.
It should be at ~8.0, where the T-55A sits, even if it is more realistic to be facing it.

Yeah, but rather then doubling down they can still move them to actually appropriate BRs, I’m sure a bunch of malding would happen, but it would be better for the actual long term health of the game… But Gaijin has long shown that their business strategy is “drain the pond to catch all the fish” as the Chinese say.

Thats impossible considering gaijin themselves add vehicles that just cant perform well in game. F117 and strategic bombers are nice example. And devs themselves acknowledged that “yes those suck but can be piece of your collection”.

You are outvoted. Changing something about the game that upsets a significant % of the population should not be done if all it does is please some other % of the population that votes for it. You are creating new problems
The thing is, most of the SPHs are at a reasonable BR already. There are exceptions, of course. PZH2000 and PLZ05 should probably be 8.0.
Also, none of this matters as much as placing a literal attack helicopter below the maus and directly above the tiger 2 in br. These cold war vehicles fit in much better than a helicopter does.
There will be some exceptions to it, but making them as playable as possible without making them OP would be the best that they can do.
Well, I’d rather face something I can kill than the Maus, especially in a downtier.
Rather easily too, mind you:
Well, I can’t say that that is the majority.
I mean, fantasy was outvoted for realism in the APHE changes vote from what I remember, and ERA-based matchmaking is heavily disputed amongst the community.
I wouldn’t be opposed to ERA-Based matchmaking in Sim battles, though.
There you can expect the Cobra to only face cold war vehicles.

No, they really are not, especially if you use custom sights, but that’s a bit of a different topic, my point is just that rather then the early rocket helies being too high of a BR its a bunch of autocannon light tanks and HE-VT, added after the fact, at too lower BR are oppressing them.
And I would rather not have to face helis in my french vehickes at those BR since they don’t even get roof mgs and cannot do fuckall against a helicopter.

Eh, it’s not really evident in their performance stats.
Agreed.
I’m saying that while they may be oppressive against rocket-running helicopters, they aren’t particularly OP against tanks or planes.
I’ve never heard anyone say that the BTR-80 or Luchs are too OP, and the stats for those autocannon lights and SPHs aren’t particularly good enough to warrant a BR increase. There are exceptions, of course.
True, but are they an exception or a rule?
