This vehicle is effectively a worse version of the Pvkv m/43 (1946). While it gains a thin roof and access to APDS rounds, the armor remains unchanged where it matters most, offering no real improvement in survivability.
At the same time, its mobility is significantly worse, making it feel slower and less responsive in combat. Despite the improved ammunition, the overall performance is inferior, making it better suited for a lower BR.
The fact it can face 6.0 vehicles with its very mediocre performance is unreasonable
I apologize. Perhaps my use of translation software caused a slight misinterpretation. The IDS lines in BR 11.7 regarding flight performance in AB are similar to the IDS lines in BR 11.3.
The vehicle has excellent speed and can resist small-arms fire, including some 12.7mm rounds from certain angles. However, its 20mm cannon is highly ineffective, struggling against anything with more than ~10mm of armor, despite the theoretical penetration of its HVAP rounds.
This severely limits its ability to engage ground targets at its BR. Combined with the lack of scouting ability, it ends up being far less useful than comparable vehicles, making it over-tiered in its current state.
Hpgr is Swedish for Halvpansargranat which means SAPHE.Shouldnt affect the shell performance, just the text and symbol
The Z in Sgr m/50Z means that the shell has a proxy fuse. Z stands for Zonar/Zonanslargsrör which is the swedish term for proximity fuse. So Sgr m/50Z means it’s an Explosive shell m/50 with proxy. But in WT it’s just normal HE.
Add it and you have a great 4.3 semi SPAA/TD lol, 25+ degrees of gun elevation can make short work of low flying planes.
Also the tank is more deadly in Realistic Battles due to the element of suprise and it having such a short reload desimates about all tanks it faces by knocking out tracks and barrels if it doesent overpressure from the start.
The 600 kg bomb and highly effective rocket options make the A21A-3 an exceptionally strong CAS platform in Ground RB, capable of destroying even the heaviest tanks with ease thanks to its large explosive mass and ~15 m destruction radius. Combined with CCRP, which is extremely rare at this BR, it allows for consistent and low-risk bombing runs that outperform most aircraft at 4.3.
Additionally, the aircraft’s low-speed stability, accurate nose-mounted weaponry, and powerful 13.2mm + 20mm HE belts make it highly efficient at cleaning up light ground targets while remaining easy to control during attack runs. Its effectiveness in Ground RB scales far beyond its current BR, where it can reliably impact matches regardless of opposition.
In Air RB, while still very strong, the aircraft’s effectiveness is slightly more limited by its low ammo count on the 57 mm, lack of heavy bomb load, and vulnerability to fighters compared to dedicated interceptors. However, its airspawn, strong armament, and performance still make it undertiered at 4.3. Raising it to 4.7 better reflects its capability without over-penalizing it.
The overall performance of the J22-B is average at best for its current BR, with limited high-altitude capability and strong dependence on staying below ~4,000 m to remain competitive. Above this, it suffers heavily due to the lack of engine performance, making it ineffective against many opponents it commonly faces.
While it has good manoeuvrability, it is not exceptional enough to consistently outperform dedicated turnfighters, and it is still outclassed by aircraft with better climb rate, speed, and energy retention. This leaves it at a disadvantage in many engagements, especially against common boom-and-zoom fighters.
Its armament of four 13.2 mm machine guns, while effective against lightly armoured targets, lacks the burst mass and reliability of cannon-armed fighters at this BR, requiring longer time on target and putting the aircraft at additional risk.
Additionally, the aircraft has no suspended ordnance, making it largely ineffective in Ground RB, further reducing its overall value compared to other fighters at 3.7.
At 3.3, the J22-B would better match aircraft with similar performance limitations, allowing it to remain competitive without being overshadowed in both Air RB and Ground RB.
Vehicle: MB 157 Game Mode: Air RB / Air Realistic BR change: 3.3 to 3.7 Reasoning:
The MB 157 has historically a BR of 3.3 as a result of the low ammo count of 2 x 60 rpg. So even as the plane itself has an exceptionally good performance (speed, climb, turn) the low ammo count justified the 3.3 BR.
Idk when but some time ago i noticed that the plane got spammed like there is no tomorrow as the ammo count was doubled to 2 x 120 rpg. The plane is able to turn with most opponents and good enough to beat a 4.3 Yak-3 or a Pyoerremski in a turnfight.
The plane allows way too easy kills even for rather mediocre players like me - and most of my matches are automatically uptiers to 3.7 - 4.3 anyway. So a BR increase looks more than justified.
if the centuaro II gets moved up im honestly done with this game, you guys always make the stupidest decisions, dont look into anything and dont listen to your community. im done getting f***ed over and having my opinion and others brushed off like we dont matter.
I’ve heard the Z just means it could take a proxy fuze in theory, in addition to more conventional fuzes. Do we have any specs on which fuze it would have used?
Even without proxy, I still think it would need to go up a good deal.
I could’ve sworn I saw some document scan on discord at some point saying the SAV’s fire rate was “50-60 rpm” instead of just 50 as it is in game. That could certainly justifying moving it up more if I can actually locate where I saw that before… :\
From my personal experience at least, which isn’t that much but whatever, I’d say the only thing I’d personally take over M1A2 would be UE-1, since I’m just used to playing Russian-esk tanks.
Mode: Air SIM
Vehicles: all aircraft
Due to insufficient number of air sim BR changes over the years, the mode suffers from many imbalanced aircraft. Suggestion to align all air sim BRs with ARB BRs, and continue mirroring ARB changes in sim.
This would fix many BR issues of sim, and simplify maintenance of the SB balance.
this cannot happen sadly as the des moine curbstomps basically every other cruiser in the game we need major decompression but her br placement against battle ships is earned
sadly this is how naval is ships that have no chance in uptiers curb stomp in downtiers its a problem with every boat in the game right now
YAK-1B
3.0->3.7
absurdly good armrament which is better than some 3.7s can out turn most 3.7s other than obvious spitfires and japanese fighters and it has very good energy retention while being decently survivable
Reasoning: a very mobile stabilized light tank with a 4.3s autoloader using APHE at the same BR as a lot of vehicles very inferior to it (centurion mk10 as an example)
