Aussie 14.0 F/A-18A Late is also going to lose top tier research bonuses by being foldered with the 12.3 Early version, ahead of the 13.0 Sea Harrier FA.2
Hopefully means there will be something in its place in the next update. But if not, it sucks for people who didn’t want to grind 420,000 RP for a radar upgrade on Typhoon. Which isn’t getting foldered in spite of only being 0.3 BR higher than the other Typhoon

Yeah… At least it means I dont feel guilty about uptiering the Chieftains to 9.3 just to use the Buc S2, but I stopped specifically because the uptiers were toxic as hell
They removed Falcons APDS belt?
yep
We’re trying to get it reduced to 7.7

Are other vehicles impacted?
The disgusting USA SPAAG
Zsu-57 with APHE?
Falcon is great removing APDS will lower it’s muzzle velocity and it’s ability to hit aircraft.
They added shell shatter and still want to bully the Falcon

still should be added to high Filler to Ratio APHE/SAP/whatever isnt HE shells
Should but havent and wont.
Falcon is strong, but also incredibly easy to kill
Has terrible mobility and needs to flank.
We need to see what else they do.
Br decrease?
Because as it stands its going to be worse than near every other 8.0 SPAAG
also the fact that its counterpart the AMX 30 DCA is still at 8.7 after this is wild when its at a higher br then the XM or the gepard
And not stabilised…
I am fine with removing anti vehicle rounds from SPAAGs
But it has to be done across the board.
Didnt the Falcon have target tracking irl? They could add that to make it way more useful as an SPAA
yep, and a LRF,

This seems like the obvious solution
Remove APDS and add target tracking
It’s an SPAA after all
That, or reduce it to a BR where an SPAA is needed (7.7)

Im happy with either, although there are several options Britain could get to fill the gap
Scorpion S530 for example with twin 20mm cannons on a mobile chassis
The Fox/Ferret Mk.V SPAA variant with a 20mm autocannon could go at 6.0 to replace the Skink, which is dogsh*t

It does not have a radar
oh, is that a hatch?
The Vickers Valkyr could take its place then

It could probably go to 7.3 as well, pretty similar to the 23M2 without the APDS
That is indeed a hatch

Maybe it could be ~6.7 then
Ooooh, that second one would be a lot fun
