Hello Gaijin Developers and Community,
I am submitting a structured proposal for Battle Rating adjustments across multiple aircraft in the Israeli aviation tech tree. These suggestions are based on weapon loadout analysis, role consistency, and parity with comparable vehicles in other nations.
All proposed changes aim to align BR with actual combat capability, not to strengthen or weaken specific platforms.
1. MD454 Ouragan IVA (Israel)
Current BR: Air RB 8.7 / Ground RB 8.7
Proposed BR: Air RB 8.3 / Ground RB 8.7
Rationale:
- The Israeli IVA variant carries enhanced ground ordnance compared to the French original, but lacks the AA-20 air-to-air missiles available to the French version.
- The French Ouragan is currently rated Air 8.7 / Ground 8.3.
- Given the Israeli variant’s lack of dedicated A2A missiles, its Air RB BR should be adjusted downward to 8.3 for consistency, while Ground RB remains at 8.7 due to its stronger ground attack capability.
2. SO.4050 Vautour IIA/IIN (Israel)
Current BR: Air RB 9.0 / Ground RB 8.3
Proposed BR: Air RB 8.3 / Ground RB 9.0
Rationale:
- The current BR assignment appears inverted relative to the aircraft’s role and capability.
- The French Vautour IIA/IIB (non-missile variant) is rated Air 8.0 / Ground 8.7-9.0.
- The Israeli variant, while equipped with Shafrir-1 missiles, remains a subsonic attack platform with limited air-to-air effectiveness.
- Adjusting to Air 8.3 / Ground 9.0 better reflects its actual combat role and brings it in line with the French original’s BR logic.
3. Mirage IIICJ (Israel)
Current BR: Air RB 10.0 / Ground RB 10.0
Proposed BR: Air RB 10.0 / Ground RB 9.0
Rationale:
- The IIICJ is an air-superiority focused variant with limited ground attack options.
- Separating Air and Ground RB BRs would better reflect its specialized role.
- Ground RB 9.0 aligns with other pure fighter aircraft that lack significant ground ordnance.
4. Nesher (Israel)
Current BR: Air RB 10.0 / Ground RB 10.0
Proposed BR: Air RB 9.7 / Ground RB 9.7
Rationale:
- A uniform adjustment to 9.7 for both modes would better match its weapon technology level and historical service period.
5. Kfir C.2 (Israel)
Current BR: Air RB 11.7 / Ground RB 11.0
Proposed BR: Air RB 11.3 (or 11.0) / Ground RB 10.3
Rationale:
- Air RB: Equipped with only 2× Python 3 missiles (no IRCCM) at 11.7 is inconsistent with comparable IR-only fighters.
- Ground RB: Limited to unguided ordnance at 11.0 places it against opponents with precision-guided weapons.
- Adjusting to Air 11.3 (or 11.0) / Ground 10.3 would align with its actual combat effectiveness.
6. Kfir C.7 (Israel)
Current BR: Air RB 12.0 / Ground RB 11.3
Proposed BR: Air RB 11.7 (or 11.3) / Ground RB 10.3
Rationale:
- Air RB: Four Python 3 missiles (no IRCCM) at 12.0 is inconsistent with the missile technology available at this BR.
- Ground RB: Shares the same unguided ground ordnance as the C.2, yet is placed 1.0 BR higher.
- A reduction to Air 11.7 (or 11.3) / Ground 10.3 would restore consistency with its weapon loadout and role.
7. F-4E Kurnass 2000 (Israel)
Current BR: Air RB 12.3 / Ground RB 11.7
Proposed BR: Air RB 12.0 / Ground RB 11.7
Rationale:
- The Kurnass 2000 previously had access to AIM-7F Sparrow missiles, which have since been removed.
- Current loadout: 6× IR missiles (Python 3/AIM-9L) with no radar-guided options.
- At 12.3, it faces opponents with active radar missiles and advanced avionics, while lacking comparable BVR capability.
- Adjusting Air RB to 12.0 would better reflect its current weapon configuration.
