Aircraft :
F-14B

Mode :
Air RB

Perposed change :
Same as 13.0 BR but add AIM-7P , AIM-9M and Fix AWG-9 to use real capability.

Its need a IRCCM if stay in 13.0 BR. Its standard weapon in this BR, And AIM-7P if it cant compare like R-27ER but it will help F-14 so much. And ACM of AWG-9 should be 19KM and have PD all aspect like another 13.0 jet.

I know this will do nothing but I’ll cope and hope it changes.

Aircraft:
Saab F-35

Mode:
Ground RB

BR:
10.7>10.3

Reason:
The SAAB F-35 is entirely outclassed in ground with its limited CM and weapons while having fighters like the FGR.1 phantom with a PD radar and sky flash while also carrying the same ground pound equipment that the F-35 does while also having better engine power and more CM. The Tornado is 10.3 with the only downside being flight performance it too is better than the F-35 in CM, Speed, payload, and it has all aspect missiles where the F-35 is stuck with 2 9J equivalent missiles max

Something something glass houses and throwing stones idk

And kd88s are hard to be considered update over kh29t imo. 0.9M is red flag at top tier.

It is nice that 10.3 became playable again, but I recommend thinking about moving GRB top tier to 13.0.
The BMPT (tech tree version) is noticeably better so It should become at the least 12.0 with that change.

Can we get a thumbs down added?

Vehicle: Sd.Kfz 234/2 Twitch Drop.
BR Recommendation: 2.7 —> 3.0
Gamemode: Ground Arcade
why is the Sd.Kfz 234/2 Twitch Drop not the same battle rating as the other Sd.Kfz 234/2’s in Arcade?
i don’t play this game-mode but it feels weird why one is .3 lower then the others which perform the exact same

Im sorry did I offend you with anything? Like I dont think any premium is meta, I have almost all of them, soon as I grind out tree I never play them. Anyway Im really confused you would be mad at me bombing bases, but you do you…redicilous.

I love seeing some of the missile mods being lowered, more of this! Same with the stock missiles on vehicles such as the little bird. I suffered for 55 games in it with 50 tank kills, and I’m not even halfway to the 4 hellfires… I would love to see the top weaponry for more vehicles be tier 2-3 instead of 4. The grind to make certain vehicles actually competitive is the main reason I straight up haven’t even considered crewing and playing about 80% of my top tier vehicles. Also with helis getting a couple ATGM’s stock, it’s better than nothing but… it’s really annoying that taking 2 or 4 ATGM’s when your heli can have 8-16 costs the same amount of SP…

Aircraft:
F15A

Mode:
Air RB

Proposed change:
12.7 > 13.0

Reasoning: This aircraft should never have been phased out of version 13.0; it makes no sense for the F-2 Premium, with the same missile kit as the F-15J, to be 0.3 BR below.

The problem with the F-15 is the same problem that all 13.0 aircraft face: constant uptier competition with aircraft equipped with FOX3 .
There are aircraft like the Mirage 4K that are in a much, much worse situation than the F-15, and yet it shouldn’t be upgraded to the 12.7 . This type of change shouldn’t even be considered.
Increasing the br of the Su-30 Premium would completely change the situation for this aircraft.
The game needs decompression, not recompression.

Can the harrier GR7 please catch a break it has no business being 13.0 in air arcade, I can’t imagine anyone flying it at this point. The F15’s are 12.7 in arcade can we please finally bring the GR7 down to 12.7 at the very least. It’s 12.3 in realistic.

What?

Slight mixup?

bro said decent airframe

Vehicle: RAH-66 Comanche

Gamemode: All

Change: Replace AGM-114B with AGM-114K

Reason: During the time the Comanche was in testing it would have used AGM-114K instead of AGM-114B as at that time AGM-114B was no longer in service and thus would not have been used by the Comanche. The Comanche first flew in January 1994 while the AGM-114B’s use ended in 1992. Not only this but the Comanche was planned to use either AGM-114K or AGM-114L if it was to enter full production and service so giving it AGM-114B is completely unhistorical.

There’s also the issue that at 11.3 BR AGM-114B on an airframe which lacks countermeasures it is inadequate, especially when other helicopter airframes of the same BR does have AGM-114K or better missiles than the AGM-114B.
