Now that these changes are supposed to fix the game’s balance, I honestly just see a very abusable system. Let’s go through it one step at a time.
The first issue is dynamic BR based on weapon loadouts. This wouldn’t be a problem if the game were 100% arcade. However, a jet equipped with worse missiles but retaining the same radar and a superior airframe compared to lower BR aircraft is still overpowered. You shouldn’t be able to lower an aircraft’s BR just by downgrading its missiles if it keeps a strong radar and flight model. Even with the JA37DI Viggen widely considered one of the worst top-tier premium removing its AMRAAMs to drop its BR makes balancing tricky, and doing this with actual 4th-gen airframes like early F-18s or Su30s would completely break lower brackets.
My second concern is BR decompression without proper lineup support for minor nations, especially Japan and Sweden. Several vehicles are now completely orphaned and entire lineups have been gutted. For example, my top tier Swedish lineup was torn apart with the CV90120-T sitting at 12.3 while my Strv 122s moved up to 13.3

smin has said that they do not plan to bring it to every vehicle, imo youre being overly cautious about a good thing
i mean, in this specific case, does it really make balancing tricky? itll literally just become a JA37D that already exists in game
and in other cases, its not like those vehicles will be immune to br changes
