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

This is more of a personal want than a needed change but whatever.

Tank: BMD-4M2

Mode: Ground RB

Proposed Change: Give it APFSDS and move it to 10.3

Reasoning: After waiting just about 4 years for a tech tree BMD after BMD-4 was added in 2021, we finally get said Tech tree BMD-4 and it has just about nothing going for it compared to the pre-existing premium and event variants… Giving it APFSDS would obviously result in a BR increase but it could provide just a little edge over the BMD-4/4M that I’d see it as actually worth researching and purchasing.

AGAIN, this is more so a personal tangent if anything so, bleh.

Seeing italian props beeing uptiered when they’re already unplayable at their current BR is just, just… idk gaijin u really want us to lock in just to get the G.91? I dont want to be fighintg yak-9s every match, when my poor airframe dies to an angry look, the L3/33 could tank more 45 mm hits than the C.205, G-55 serie 1 and Re.2005
