Battle Rating changes for January 2024 (post feedback)

I’m pretty sure the Mirage 4k doesn’t have an HMD. I’m also pretty sure the F-15 is superior to the Mirage 4k.

Tell that to the mirage 4k pilots.

Probably down to the playerbase of each vehicle. The 2S38 is a premium so you get a lot of not great players spamming it and getting clubbed thus making it seem weak in stats while the HSTVL is a TT vehicle that comes after the worst piece of shit IFV in 10.0 so it ends up getting fewer but better players that make it seem better.

The 2s6 is worse than the Type 81 in terms of missiles

No it won’t be. It’ll do just fine at 10.0 thanks to 20G missiles and photocontrast mode.
Don’t be a drama queen.
EDIT: Before the uptier to 10.0, Strela was superior in every way to Ozelot which is 9.7. To be fair, it still is superior but is now at appropriate battle rating.

I am begging you, begging you on my knees, to tell the devs to stop uptiering Japanese fighters. It physically pains me to keep seeing Zeroes, and all our decent Tier IV fighters going up (Ki-84, N1K, J6K)

Even if we accept the premise that the F-16C is superior, which I don’t, that isn’t enough to justify a lower BR. This game is FULL of vehicles that share a BR where one vehicle is superior to another but the difference isn’t great enough to justify a different BR. This should be known to american mains since their tech tree is bloated with so many vehicles that there simply aren’t enough BR slots whatsoever to differentiate them with unique BR’s. But I guess they’re grasping for whatever sorry excuse they can find to avoid the nerf.

i think you missed the other point i made that was a bigger factor

You haven’t even played the aircraft to come to that conclussion.

Even JAP/ISR variants were not raised having somewhat different —if not better— IR IRCCM missiles, thats proves its not a mUrIcaNs mAinS thing anymore.

F4J(UK) vs the F4S
One example

They are indeed real quick at discounting something as “useless” if they don’t have the objective best at everything.

Yeah same thing with Russian mains

The Buccaneer S.2 NEEDS to go DOWN from 9.3 to 9.0 and an air-spawn too wouldn’t go a miss.
Its always the last to enemy bases and looses a good amount of bombs when using Flares/ Chaff.
NEEDS to go down to 9.0!

Nation mains in general.

The only nation mains I hear suprisingly little from is Israeli mains, but that might be because there are so few.

They exist?
They have same status as Heavy mains from TF2

Considering that all of the uptiered French vehicles under discussion have very little armour, this feels irrelevant, but okay.

M900 and its equivalents are enough, we don’t need to bring 3BM60 into 10.0. Thanks to the Stryker, I couldn’t complain about 3BM46, as that would indeed be hypocritical. 3BM60, however, is on another level.

3BM60 and KE-W are direct equivalents, and both are seen at 10.0 now.

I am utterly unsurprised of course, gaijin hating france isn’t new, gaijin hating ground isn’t new.

I only bothered to go check the full list of nonsensical BR changes this time around because when logging in into the game I immediately noticed several of my lineups got destroyed.

The Strela got uptiered massively. I was expecting that. The Strela is very good, much better than all the missile SPAAs the other nations got at the same OR higher BRs. Of course, the problem was never that the Strela was too low, it was always that other IR missiles SPAAs were too high.

At 8.7+, CAS is extremely capable. Capable SPAAs are required for counterplay. That is an extremely basic concept. Looking at these SPAA changes makes me wonder what kind of twisted vision do you have for ground battles. The Japanese top truck SPAA? From 10.0 to 11.0? that thing doesn’t have radar missiles, only IR. What are you doing. Now Japan is also stuck with the ungodly terrible Type 93 as its only missile SPAA until 11.0. Why.

Again, I am very much not surprised. Those are the latest nonsense BR changes in a very long series of nonsense BR changes. But after so many years, really, you can just say out loud that your goal is to make the game as devoid of fun as possible, you don’t need to keep the mask on when you’re this blatant about it.
