i shouldn’t be penalized for my main nation having better tech at the end of ww2 and thus being forced to fight vehicles from the 1970’s and 2019+ and their vehicles shouldn’t be benefitted to fight me because they suck against vehicles of their era.

I shouldn’t be penalized because the country I am playing didn’t have a strong industry in the post war era.
If it’s balanced, what’s the issue?

yes you should, if you chose a weak country that’s on you. now i get to drive a heavy tank feared in it’s time only to be lolpenned by a car going 90km/h with a modern gun and atgm’s basically negating any advantage i had. or i get shot down by more post war high rpm autocannons.

So a video game should be deliberately unbalanced just because a nation wasn’t as good IRL?
That doesn’t happen to WWII heavy tanks.

If you choose a weak nation in game without 90kph cars with a modern gun and atgms thats on you… your logic can go both ways and is insufferably arrogant trying to act like you had some sort of involvement in your country’s weapon development.

I kind of agree with that .If you play France or UK at 6BR and below you have only AP and if you have any knowledge you know full well that it will be more of a challenge.I like that fact.I do not seek perfect balance in this game.
Dont play the Comet or ARL etc etc unless you have you are wide awake and up for it.Playing those nations at those BRs is about tactics.

That’s not even how the balance works though, as (if gaijin actually knew what they were doing, doesn’t always work out like this) the minor nations bring something to the table usually to make up for this. It’s not like the Cromwell and the Sherman for example are identical except that the Cromwell has AP only.
All this is to say, nations even in game are not just lesser “hard mode” nations.
Does balance work? Who ever sees balance in this game? Mixed BR ,CAS, era gaps of many years.New players ,veterans with maxed crews , bushes and premiums. What is this balance of which you speak? No sorry bro ,if you are playing France or UK early on you need to be on top of your game.

I am saying these vehicles have upsides to make up for their downsides… they aren’t just worse versions of stuff USA/USSR/GER has.
Mig 29 All variants with the Flight Model ruined and Engines worse than the engine of a mig 21 in a heavier plane while the F16 turning more than a delta canard plane . and now they put an f15 with more than 10,000 kg of thrust and talk to me about balance? the Mig 29 SMT is a flying stone
Although IR missiles have too much “drag”, a statically launched helicopter missile has more range than an air-to-air combat missile.

Making balance worse wouldn’t fix things :^)
When is the F-14 IRIAF moving to 13.0? It is currently borderline ruining that BR bracket with Fakour spam.

They should fix the Fakours first lol. Should have much less range, as they’re known to have less range than the Aim-54, despite having considerably more range ingame.
(Also be glad they haven’t given it dual plane, otherwise it would be pulling quite G’s…)
Gaijin waiting for the stock to sell off for it I guess
yes and that does happen to WWII heavy tanks. it’s called the Ratel 90
germany has slightly similar vehicles but they aren’t pampered down 4.3, 6.3 and 6.7. and i wouldn’t even want to play them if they did.
The ratel is slow and is the size of a school bus.
It also isn’t stabilized so you r got anything while moving.

I am curious about the lack of discussion regarding helicopter BR (Battle Rating) discrepancies. The performance gap among helicopters with a BR of 11.0 is quite significant. The AH-1W has targeting equipment that is as poor as its counterparts with a BR of 10.7, and it is rated higher by 0.3 BR solely because it can launch AIM-9L missiles. However, these AIM-9L missiles even conflict with the Hellfire missile mounts. On the other hand, the Z9WA, also rated at 11.0 BR, carries TY-90 missiles which, although they also use AKD9 mounts, are not only far superior to the AIM-9L but can also carry four missiles on a single mount.
The Tiger HAD helicopter is equipped with AGM-114K missiles, Mistral missiles, excellent targeting equipment, and a cannon with minimal dispersion, while the A129 CBT only has poor targeting equipment, AGM-114B missiles, and a 20mm cannon with significant dispersion. This seems clearly unfair.
The Swedish HKP9 (FC) helicopter is armed with only four TOW-2 missiles, yet its BR is 9.7. Meanwhile, the Israeli MD500 can also carry four TOW-2 missiles, but its BR is only 8.7. Although the BO105 airframe of the HKP9A (FC) is indeed superior, the difference between the two does not justify a 1.0 BR gap.In comparison, the AH-1F and AH-1S helicopters are equipped with eight TOW-2 missiles and a cannon. Although the Cobras’ maneuverability is somewhat inferior to that of the BO105, it is clearly superior in terms of overall capability.

Additionally, in Ground RB (Realistic Battles), it’s unnecessary to artificially enhance underperforming top-tier tanks just to keep them at a higher BR. For example, the Leopard 2A6 was given the never-used DM53 shells and a higher rate of fire, and the Merkava had its rate of fire increased, all just to remain at a higher BR. Similarly, the Challenger 2 is clearly weaker than other tanks at the same BR, and its BR should be lowered. My point is that if a nation lacks tanks suitable for top-tier BR, they shouldn’t be placed in inappropriate tiers. If this results in those nations not having top-tier BR tanks, it’s not a problem; they can simply be placed at a lower BR. Let’s not forget that when China was first introduced in 2019, its best tank was the ZTZ96A, while other nations already had superior tanks like the M1A2 and Leopard 2A5. Yet, this didn’t prevent the ZTZ96A from having a lower BR than other top-tier MBTs.
Another issue is with the British MBTs. The first Challenger 2, apart from having more advanced thermal vision devices, doesn’t seem to have any advantages over the M1A1. However, the Challenger 2’s BR is higher than that of the M1A1.
