Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 1)

[Pheonix_RX01]

Honestly these changes are very clearly showing they will fight tooth and nail to avoid actual decompression

[Morvran]

AMX A-1A is also not being touched, that really surprises me, Its not an 11.3 worthy aircraft, its barely 11.0 worthy

@Smin1080p_WT gajin ignoring the most liked suggestion for BR increasem which gets brought up every single time br raise gets discussed

Planned Battle Rating Changes for October 2024

GRB, 2S38 . 10.0 > 10.7. This thing is just a blatant pay-to-win anti-everything machine. But hey, it’s Gaijin’s cash cow so it will never be given it’s appropriate BR. The fact it’s the same BR as the Puma is laughable, 57 mm with proxy rounds vs 30 mm… The addition of the detailed modules was not a ‘nerf’ at all, as claimed it would be by Gaijin, considering that, at the same time, it got it’s ready-rack changed to be unlimited and it has a barrel that cannot overheat. Enough is enough snai…

realy not cool

[Jεcka]

And then they wonder why we hate 'em, “but we did that for you!”. I’m getting flashbacks to that one certian economy patch.

[battlerog]

ok thank you for the pantsir , but what the hell why the ITO’s ahahaha

[Smin1080p_WT]

@Pheonix_RX01

Any plans to change the KV-1A’s price now that its going to 4.7 or will it stay its current price.

BR is not the only factor that decides price. It’s also Rank and Economics (bonuses etc).

@SPANISH_AVENGER

They even went on to justify Leopard 2A5 being the same br as the Leopard 2A7s because “it’s still one of the best” while skipping the WHOLE POINT, which is that the range in capabilities among the top BR (now 12.0 instead of 11.7, like 2PL since they refused to give it DM53) is STILL TOO LARGE.

I mean yeah I get it, but once again the point of the BR change is not to improve balance at top tier, it’s to improve the situation from 9.0-11.0 which gets dragged up to top tier.

I’m certain that BR decompression for top tier will come when Gaijin is ready to add more top ground vehicles. But it seems right now they’re focusing on aircraft, since there’s a bit more room to expand there.

My guy, some nations have already reached a dead-end in terms of content. Japan has nothing more left to add, Germany has just 2A7V copy-pastes with Trophy, US has one MBT left, UK has just the Challenger 3 left.

We are in the end game now, and they still haven’t done any proper decompression of BRs (we should’ve been on 13.0 by now, not 12.0), what we have is a circus.

[Morvran]

So thats why the F4J(UK) is 12.0 in Sim but the FGR2/FG1 is 11.3. Despite the fact the FGR2/FG1 have more CMs, better engines and better RWR?

Its premium.

But still doesnt explain why the Tornado Gr1, ASSTA1 and A200A are all a higher BR than the WTD61, MFG and A200.

By that explanation, Tornado WTD61 should be 12.0 because it has a higher reward than the other 5

[BasherBenDawg8]

It does have better thermal generation, and if it had the CITV it’s currently missing then I’d say it would be on the same level as the HC and clickbait, but as of now the lackluster firepower and missing CITV are indeed a problem…

[Pheonix_RX01]

Its literally the same rank and soon BR as the T14 which is cheaper, iirc they have similar bonuses also so maybe im missing something but between the 2 the T14 is still cheaper and has a lineup so the 2.8k price doesnt make much sense. Unless they differ greatly in RP/SL modifiers.

Continuing the discussion from Responding To Your Battle Rating Feedback & Final Changes for October 2024:

@magazine2

Falcon:
With the revision to small caliber APDS performance mentioned above, the penetration power of the Falcon will be notably reduced. After this change, we’ll collect updated data on its efficiency and take another look at its Battle Rating then. Regarding its current performance though, it doesn’t require a reduction in Battle Rating at this time.

hell nah they will destroy my beloved Falcon god no…

[BasherBenDawg8]

Time for a warrior nerf again bois…

You are confusing two different factors. They asked about the GE purchase being lowered because it’s BR was.

I was talking spesifcally about how GE purchase price is set. Nothing more.

[Tubby_Vermin]

There was talk about new graphic options coming to the next patch ? Ray tracing and DLSS maybe ??

[タンジェリン_フリュゲル]

Thank goodness, I want a 7.7/8.0 SPAA for the UK, and if that means killing the Falcon’s TD capabilities that’s fine by me.

[Apollo_1641]

Hey @Smin1080p_WT, my proposal to revert the M26’s BR from 6.7 back to 6.3 got over 50 likes and nothing came of it.

Do the devs not agree with the reasoning, or is there another reason why this wasn’t acted upon?

[Morvran]

@Smin1080p_WT Typo by the way. Sea harrier FRS1 is already 11.3, not sure how it can move from 11.0 to 11.3 as it is already 11.3. I assume its meant to be dropping in BR down to 11.0 from 11.3?

I agree that the balance at top tier is wacky and does need the help, for sure.

But there definitely are vehicles out there that Gaijin would use to push the BRs further. Next-gen tech demonstrators, late Cold War prototypes-- both of these are highly requested, likely to come at some point, and Gaijin would probably use their introduction to extend the maximum BR up to 12.7 or 13.0, then the current range of top vehicles would get decompressed.

[미도리]

Hi, I’m sorry, but I have a question for you.

Why do I see in this announcement that all Leclercs are going to 12.0 without any new APFSDS?

Is it just a matter of battle efficiency?

or is it an implementation issue?
