Did they use bursting charge M61 though? Afaik, the British went out of their way to replace the HE filler with solid metal in the M61’s they received. The only record I know of, of Britain using bursting charge shells, is when Grant/Lee crews in Africa put German 75mm shells in M72 casings.
They did, we’ve been reporting it to Gaijin for years with primary sources. Their excuse is “it’s for game balance.”
Much of this is based around misconceptions. M61 inert and M61 APHE came from US factories. It’s even in US manuals.

So the G going to 3.7 and the H going to 4.0 is more reasonable.
You are correct - it’s the arcade version that is 5.3
But I still think 2 steps is too much.
The Pz 4 H would regularly face 5.0 vehicles that outclass it by a fair amount, and even some cold war vehicles like the PT76B.
And it’s not just ground opponents - the air enemies would be stronger as well.
The updated BR changes just dropped. Jarms got his wish. Lots of low rank decompression.

Only at the cost of most nations now losing their 3.7 vehicles and now having inferior CAS and CAP, while losing some vehicles entirely because they lack a lineup. And now they just compressed 4.x lol
All these BR changes do have the time is recompress and area and in a year they’ll undo these because they didn’t move the tier above up.

This is more so an issue of low ranks being neglected for additions. There are plenty of vehicles that could be added to occupy the position of those moving up.

Low tier isn’t a big focus so again all this did was benefit like 2 nations which already had strong 3.7 and 4.0 lineups, if you didn’t have a strong 3.x lineup then you’ve just been screwed over, especially if your 4.0 is lacking in a lot of areas which just so happens to be quite a few nations.
So Jumbo 75 can now face Tiger 2 N1-50, IS-2 (1944), Ratel 90, and even a slew of US mediums and heavies that can troll it from distance in arcade. That’s just swell.
Why are we talking arcade… this is for GRB / Sim

Ahh… well the update chart show both modes. My bad.
AMX FL-11 4.3 > 4.0
To me it feels more like a sidegrade to the M24 plus they’re moving the M24 up to 4.0 next BR change

its not even a sidegrade, its strictly worse

They are quite similar.
I guess the better front armor is the reason for different BR ratings, but they could arguably have the same BR.
The fact that the AMX-13 FL11 is in the French tree is the reason why it’s a higher BR.

I see you haven’t added the BT-7 mod.1937 yet even though both I and another user @pooqich told you it should be BR 1.7
But it has better armor than the BT-7 and is an Italian tank
If you call this better armor, if I were a main Russian player, I’d be ashamed of not being able to hit a spot where the armor is weak.
The only solution, as I’ve already pointed out, is to upgrade the BT-7 mod. 1937 to BR 1.7.

You do understand I don’t have to add everything to the list? You simply putting it in the comments is technically adding it.
I do have a life, and nor am I paid by gaijin to manage my list. I do try to keep up with it sure, but it isn’t a priority, I don’t update it every time there is a sweep of br changes either.
Also, yes the tank still has better armor. Pretty sure the bt-7 can be 7.92’d
Please try to explain why you believe the KV-220 (an already over br’d vehicle) should be 6.3?
Because it’s practically an IS-1
Because what I see looking at your stat card, your an USA main who loves his oppressive OP 6.7 and 7.0 heavy tanks.
I’ll just assume it’s out of envy or spite of not owning the KV-220 or you took a bad shot and a good player killed you and it upset you.
I remeber now… you are the guy that plays rare op tanks and always complains that everything he plays needs to go down in BR and things that kill you need to go up.
Explain myself? Sure… global stats from last month again…
The US line up you call oppressive and constantly claim they need to go up in BR… they are good but above 1 k/d for heavies is not unexpected
And the tank you claim need a go to 5.7 because its too weak for comparison
And no i dont have KV-220 but lets compare on another rare vehicle we have in common this time where you also claim its weak (what a suprise) …here before you say its not true
So lets compare our stats in the AMX-50 TO 90
Top are yours and bottom are mine (all time stats)
I got it just recently and i dont play france much but that thing you call weak is nuke printer… no i dont think it needs to go up to stabilized teritory but definetly not down as you claim.

what?? the kv220 is a monster and if the enemy put something to cover their commander hatch is unkillable or in a hull down position, it can stay at 6.0 and the American heavies at 6.7( and pls its a joke to compare the is1 with the kv220 the only similarity is the 85mm, the IS can get penned by everything everywhere)

Commander hatch on the KV-220 is super volumetric at time lol, I had a T-29 non pen when I pushed him around a corner, the Commander hatch is not the way to go, flat plat on the front is easy
