BR Decompression

With the new update incoming now would be the perfect opportunity to decompress aircraft and tanks, however I will only be talking about aircraft in this post.

15.0 should be the new ceiling with typhoon, Rafale, and f-15e being at the top.
14.7 would have the SU30sm, f15c, j10, f/a18c tech tree, and the top mirages, and su27sm.
14.3 would have the f16 fox3 carriers, top mirage fox3 carriers, harrier fox3 carriers, mig29 fox 3 carriers, f14iriaf, and possibly f14b.
14.0 would be a line of aircraft such with early fox3s (f14a and b) and any very poor performing fox3 carriers, perhaps the harrier and mig29smt.
13.7 would be the top performing fox1 carriers, (note how they would not have to face the 15.0 aircraft but still transition into heavy fox3 territory) such as the su27.
13.3 would be aircraft such as your yak141 or f16 with only 2 great fox1s, great missiles but limited ordinance and countermeasures. Fa18a could go either here or 13.0
13.0 would be the lowest br for super sonic aircraft with aim9m, and r73 missiles as well as the br where the best flight models with average/below average missile load outs could go (f16a looking at you).
12.0-13.0 would mostly be bringing up aircraft from the current 11.0-12.0 range, and from 9.0-12.0 a larger spread would be created to stop super sonic fox1 and fox2 carriers from pummeling subsonic aircraft with 0 countermeasures. This spread would be heavily worked on to create a more gradual and balanced transition from GEN 1 to GEN 3 aircraft.
7.0-9.0 would be your very first jets and best performing props at the 7.0-8.0 range.
Let me know what you think, and what could be tweaked, this is an open idea being worked on, and as such is a generalization with examples. The main point is to make graduations between different generations of aircraft more reasonable and easy to transition through.

  • If you voted Yes, do you agree with the prior list?
  • I voted for NO BR decompression
  • BR decompression should occur but in another way (comment below)

BR Decompression? In MY War Thunder. Never.

Must be a hard balance for them. On one hand they want players to feel pressured into spending money to progress, which is fair, the developers need paid, on the other it needs to be more enjoyable than it is now to retain more players and be more enjoyable throughout the BRs.

The Su-30SM would probably be 15.0.

That makes compression even worse. The Harriers/Mig-29SMT are atleast 1.0 worse than top tier, same with the IRAF. Plus, the F/A-18C should be higher.

Perhaps you are correct, 14.0-14.3. my main concern is keeping certain aircraft out of fox 3 territory, but certainly I can see your point. And the fa18c at 14.7 probably isn’t a stretch. I just have a hunch it’s not going to quite be “all that” due to its slow speed really hindering the true capabilities of the aim120 system.

14.3 minimum

Think he meant 15.0?

maybe, I’m not sitting in his head

Yes.

3 years Typhoon FGR.4 up to 15.0 BR. AIM-132 (Blk 1) stock and AIM-9M replace with AIM-132 (Blk 6)

Rafale C up to 15.3 in Q1 or Q2 2029 before add Meteor

But new F-15E (post upgrade) with AN/APG-82(V)1 AESA radar, AIM-9M-9 & AIM-9X (Block 1), AIM-120C-7 and AIM-120D, so would be 15.3

Su-27SM3 only to 14.7, not Su-27SM

Su-30SM move up 14.7 if R-77-1 increase lock-range 16 → 30 km after gajin add R-74M

For F-15C (USAF), add AIM-120C AMRAAM (AIM-120C-5 & AIM-120C-7) and AIM-9L replace with AIM-9X (Blk 1)

J-10C (PLAAF) 14.7 minimum (if not give PL-15)

But F-16C Block 50 at 14.7, and receive AIM-120C-7

Maybe F-16C Block 30 and F-16CG (Block 40) (pre CCIP) late Iraqi Freedom but pre integrate AIM-9X (Blk 1) JHMCS

Add 6x MICA IR on Mirage 2000-5F after change BR to 14.3

F/A-18C Late (USMC) receive AIM-120C-5, but AIM-9L replace with AIM-9X (Block 1) and AIM-120C-4 to replace AIM-120B

Once the aim9x and equivalent missiles come into the game I think we will need even further br brackets 😅

awesome concept, well thought out, I agree with this, and yet we all know its probably not gonna happen

It all starts with garnering support, generating the conversation, rallying the player base.

You know what, you’re right. I’ll stop being a cynical prick for once

We also need BR decompression in ground rb, the fact that 7.7 often faces 8.7 with fully stabilized guns, apfsds and many times even laser or regular rangefinders is just so unfair to me

6.7 faces 7.7 heavies which they can’t pen, 7.7 faces APFSDS and stab in 8.7, and 8.7 sees all the OP vehicles under the sun in 9.3 lol. Yeah, decompression is badly needed

absolutely, i just dont enjoy ground enough to spend any time trying to fix it, if im being honest haha

Hmm kinda forgot abt 6.7 cuz I rarely play it. Been playing 7.0 USA and trust me 7.0 gets like 80% downtiers IMO best SL grind Br (T29, M46 Tiger and A2d) and 5.7 been playing as well a lot lately the german pack and honestly I do not struggle that much I can consistently get 8+ kills a game and Even if I get an uptier it is not that noticable.
On the other hand 8.3 and 8.7 was not that noticable to me also bcs at 8.3 I mainly play the turm3 and Ive been taking that tank with me to 10.7 with my pzbtl 2a4 Xd, so I cant say much abt that br bcs I always do well in that tank. And 8.7 russian T55s are just amazing and everything it faces at 9.7 Ususally does not have armor that the APFDS can not pen

Sooo in conclusion I really would like to see a change at russian 7.7 heavies like is4 is3 and is6 bcs YES the armor carries the is3 and is4 but I think the is6 could easily go to 7.3 or 7.0 even since it almost everytime faces USA with HEAT or just their OP t29/t34 tanks even t26e can easily go through its turret from the front and speaking about less common downtiers at 7.7 unlike 7.0 most of my 7.7 games are at 8.0/8.3 and theres not much ur heavy armor can stop when fighting HEAT and early APFSDS/APDS shells

Just play 7.0 USA or full lineup Germany 5.7 <3
I am a reitired toptier player since they added fox3s and the su34/rafale/eurofighter…. Since then toptier is unplayable due to cas and the “premium br” (10.3) is just lacking people due to the noobies leaving after 1 death

I think a BR decompression (specially in simulator battles) are very welcome, but, I think these changes should be made after the release of the Major update, to see how the players react to the changes and the vehicles added in the Live Server.
