Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

Since the YaK-141 is getting R-73 now could the F-14A and F-14B get AIM-9L and M respectively?

I can’t understand why these MiG-29s have R-27ER at all, especially export which couldn’t get this missile. Just give them historical loadouts of R-73 + R-27R.

This is not something currently planned within this update.

I sometimes wonder if you guys plan anything at all

What update is it planned for then? Because this is ridiculous.

and almost no feedback was listened too. Instead of decompressing the already terrible 12.0-13.3 region, you have massively increased compression and that is without correcting the BR for aircraft that already struggled with the existing compression, such as the Tornado IDSs at 12.3. I really really want to know how Gaijin thinks the Tornado IDS with 2x Aim-9M is only 0.3 worse than an F-15A with 4x Aim-9M and 4x Aim-7M (let alone the F-15J with 4x AAM-3)

Let alone the fact its been 2+ years since the decision was made to keep the 6 Tornado IDS at different battle ratings, with a statement saying that there would be a post explaining it further that never happened. We still have identical airframes at seperate BRs for no apparent reasons. Made especially worse with the pressence of the RET8 that is objectively better in several key regards also at 11.7 and now those 11.3 Tornados at 11.7 have to face F-15As in full uptiers

Excuse me Sir Smin, but with the F-16I Sufa going up to 13.0 in ground RB alongside the Gripen E, is there any chance it can be considered to finally get its 16x Spice-250 loadout it’s still missing?

(64 updoots as of now)

The Gripen E has this exact loadout at the same BR as of now, meaning there should be no balance issues to speak of as gaijin seems to see it, and it would bring them on par with one another. Just hoping it hasn’t been forgotten, with it finally going up there I had expected this change really and would be quite sad to see it without them. Whatever the case, again just hoping it hasn’t been forgotten or anything.

Why is naval feedback always skipped?

Yeah that too… Though the feedback is usually “please nerf the soviets” so of course it wont be listened too

Hey. This would not be connected to BR changes. But a separate consideration, likely for major updates.

Loadout changes often occur as part of BR changes to allow for a vehicle to move BRs. Like how the Falcons are loosing APDS (though no corrective BR change to compensate)

Could we expect further Chieftain Changes?

At 9.3 they would be wholly inferior to T-72A/M and ZTZ96, and could easily be buffed to be onpar with them at their new BR

L23A1

Correct the Mk.10’s Horsepower (main report)

Reduce their reload

Not in terms of jet BRs and new bomb ordinance. This is an entirely different matter for tanks, in which shells are a primary balance means.

Seriously I don’t remember a single time, when any naval changes were added based on feedback, not even talking about in general almost zero changes each time.

These changes are not tied to the BR changes tomorrow, which are being done based on the Chieftains current in game performance.

Naturally its possible these changes could occur at a later stage, but they are not part of the BR update.

Yeah… Though they are notably nerfing Britains already, difficult, top tier bluewater.

Im just annoyed they ignored my HMS Tiger post. should never have gone up in the first place and its only been nerfed since then

When is the F-14 IR missile update planned Smin?

Damn, can’t believe the BR of the AMX30 S DCA hasn’t been adjusted. Surely the people in charge of those BR changes aren’t that much blinded by the statistic to be able to see that the AMX is worse in every, and I mean every single way to the Gepard and still sits at a higher BR now.
Removing the APDS belts of the 30mm was just covering up for the main users of the 35mm vehicles which has always been much more of a problem

Smin, may I ask is the 12.7 for the Tigers all?
Specially the UHT/HAC are looking realy sad + on top ALL Tigers are missing HIRSS

As per feedback requests yes, they are going down.

This type of change would not be tied to BR changes.
