Would be the bare minimum to even justify a BR raise and leaving 11.7 without CAS oh well cope I guess
Vehicle: F/A-18A (US)(UK)
Air Realistic
12.3 → 12.7 WITH the implementation of the AIM-7P and 2 more rails.
The F-18A’s BR has been problematic since launch. with many regarding it as being too low.
However, due to the premium F-18C early and it’s counterparts in both the british and german tech trees sitting at just 12.7, there couldn’t be many arguements made to move the F-18A up.
However, I think that the F/A-18A should be made identical to the C early to solve the issue of aircraft such as the F-4E or JA37C having to fight against an aircraft that outclasses them in every regard and they simply stand no chance against.
Vehicle: Turm III
Gamemode: Ground Realistic
BR Change: 8.3 → 8.7
Reason: The Turm III has dominated 8.3 for a long while, the only reason it sits at this low of a BR is because the players playing it are absolutely horrendous and keep the stats low. It is flat out better than many vehicles at its BR, let alone at 8.7 but we have to take one step at a time.
These are among the worst BR changes I have ever seen.
Prop changes except for LF Mk9s are nonsence. Also, you sold soviet Mk9 recently for 9k GE, and not a week after that its nerfed. Nice. Japanese and Italian props perform well just due to skill issue of their enemies, and Mk24 against MiG-15s and Sabres… Oh man. FW190A8 is pretty average for its current BR. Im not sure how you even got the stats of it overperforming.
Jet changes outside of 9.X range dont make sence either. F-14A and Kfir probably got high stats just due to annihilating base bombers. And bringing Crusader back down. smh.
Tank changes look like they are just to make it look like changes are being made somewhere.
Centauro, Freccia, C13, ELC… Why?
I would say BMPT high stats are a case of skill issue again but that would start a war.
Cant say anything about naval.
F8U-2 back to 10.0, this just isn’t real. I’m living in a simulation. It’s going to utterly dominate 9.0s again, and it’s stats will inflate, AGAIN.
Japanese Planes going up in BR, so unwarranted again, except A7M2.
J-11A has MAWs? Not that I dont believe you im just completly flabbergasted as to how did i not know that lol

Why are we doing this again?
turret cheeks are weaker gen 1 thermals also MIN 8.8x zoom (super annoying). that’s plenty for a .3 br difference. no pneumatic suspension left/right
I’m equally concerned for the Mirage 2000C-S5 going back to 12.3
What will be chat thoughts on giving F4e/Kurnass all aspect 9ls (and maybe adjusting air rb br)? Im looking at this from cas player perspective so I wont delve into arb territory.
I think its weird that just 1 br step higher there is Kurnass2000 with better everything: py3, strongest non-irccm aam, agm65d, upgrade over 65b, and tgp which makes launches easier than just using agm65b seeker with horrid zoom. Also it has additional 200-400 flares.
Aim9l would help f4e be better patrol aircraft and will improve self defense capabilities so you wont have to rely solely on gun. And will reduce this pit between kurmass2000 and f4e. It was already implemented in nuclear thunder and didnt break anything. People even used f4s/j instead for air combat.
Vehicles: Yak-3U
Gamemode: Air Realistic
BR Change: 5.7 —> 6.0/6.3
Reasoning: The Yak-3U’s combination of turn, power-to-weight, energy retention, and straight-line speed comes with little downsides and markedly exceeds the performance of most (if not all) 5.7 aircraft. The only aircraft with performance relative to it exist at higher battle ratings, such as the Ta-152 and P-51H, or are planned to move up, like the LF Mk. IX.
the Kurnass 2000 is one of the worst 12.3s in game.
Spits shouldn’t of moved without YAKS being moved too. Also the 6.3 P51H now sitting 0.7 under the spit. “best prop in the game” DEFN
It really is the worst update iv seen. Nothing good at all
F8U-2 to 10.0??? The best 10.3 airframe is going down in br??? Ignoring the fact that it’s now the same br as the French flareless crusader this is absolutely bonkers
Best airframe bye bye wings ?
A7M2 is the answer
Thai F-5A
10.3 → 10.0 in GRB
It has been forgotten apparently
Only a problem if you only know how to hold S while you turn
Just neg-G, is not that hard
