To my understanding the Iranians couldn’t get the R-73 to work with the Tomcat.
None of the F-14s are meta
The missile kit only works at downtiers. At full uptiers it’s only playable because of the horde of noobs it faces. Most kills I do in uptiers are headons. F-5s, F-8s J-7Ds, MFs, SMTs, Mirages. they outperform me in every metric, but go full headon every single time.

Air Realistic Battles
14.3–>14.7
Outclasses most of the 14.3s on brute strength.
12 AIM-120Ds paired with plenty of countermeasures, a strong radar, and a fast airframe.
Sure it doesn’t turn too well but then again, that’s pretty much it’s only flaw.
It could be argued that it isn’t as strong as something like the Su-30SM2 but as of the current, none of the 14.7s are either.

Agreed
with the BMPT-72 and the Bmpt it would honestly be better to have the
BMPT-72 at 12.0 with the other prems USSR has and the
Bmpt at 12.3 since it is slightly better than the prem version and honestly they would be percetly fine at that br as many times they have dominated at that br

M11/39
it_m11_39
- Move to before the L6/40 without connection, similarly to Ha-Go, H.35, or FCM.36
Rationale:
The M11/39 is a vehicle people only play as a challenge. The combination of low penetration and limited traverse massively limits this vehicle’s capabilities compared to most other 1.0 vehicles. Its APHE round is even overperforming in-game because it incorrectly received the APC penetration bonus despite being uncapped. Were this to be corrected, the M11/39 would have even worse penetration than the former French reserves (albeit with better angle pen), which makes it hard to justify leaving this vehicle in the standard progression.
It also never made sense in the light tank line to begin with. This vehicle is relatively slow and inflexible, with the main emphasis being the strong post-pen damage and moderate armor, which makes it more similar gameplay-wise to the M series medium tanks that it is the direct predecessor to.

Are you joking like seriously are you joking? What are you even doing? F8U-2 and spitfire mk.24 again going back where they were before. Can’t you see there is something wrong that won’t be simply fixed by changing 1 BR. You are literally moving Su-7 to 9.3 after you moved it to 9.0 after you moved it to 9.3 after you moved to 9.0. It’s like a broken record that never stops. It’s just pointless and you are just wasting everyones time especially yours without fixing the BR compression.

+50 rounds of Type 99 Model 2 is worth +.7 BR
By this logic the N1K2s should be 12.0 since they have 900 rounds of it.

13.0 is very common and one of the quickest queue BRs in game
Issue being is its just a russia map wipe 90% of the time because SU30s can just sling KH38s with great A-A weapons and MI28s are basically invincible. only a good 3 NATO nations have good CAS options purely from SPICE 250s, which th SM-SV can deny from 180x360 search zones
Aircraft:
N1K1-Ja
A6M5 Otsu
A7M2
A6M5 Ko
A7M1 (NK9H)
A6M6c
A6M5 Hei
Mode:
Air RB
Proposed Change:
Keep current BR or lower for all listed aircraft except A7M2 (5.7 is acceptable)
Reason:
These changes are largely unwarranted based on how these aircraft actually perform. Most of the Zero lineup, like the A6M5 Ko, A6M6c, and A6M5 Hei, already suffer from very weak engine power and low top speed. They can’t build or retain energy well, which makes them heavily dependent on opponents making mistakes.
The main problem is player behavior, not aircraft performance. These planes are designed to win turnfights, so when players choose to engage them that way, they’re playing directly into their only strength. Outside of that, Zeros struggle to chase, disengage, or control fights, especially against faster energy fighters. Increasing their BR just puts them in even worse matchups where they have no real way to compete.
The A7M2 is the only aircraft here that performs well enough to justify a higher BR like 5.7, as it has significantly better overall performance. The rest of the lineup does not, and should remain where they are or be lowered to reflect their actual in-game effectiveness.

But then the current 14.7 should go up 15.0
do we have info on the fakours difference in seeker in tech to the phoenix…since it had a development period from 2009-2011
I was speaking in general. There are plenty of meta event vehicles in game.

congrats, you’ve found out about decompression.
Now apply this idea to every other BR in game.
Maybe then we’ll have some semblance of balance

Falcon 8.3 → 7.7 Ground RB
APDS has been removed the radar is mediocre and the shell that does any damage to tanks is only 53 ish mm at point blank compared to the other 35mm on the other spaa at 8.3, plus at 7.7 it will face more heavily armoured vehicles and balance it. It is also quite slow and has no armour.
Brittain Desperately need an Spaa at 7.7 having 3 spaa at 8.3 to 8.7 is crazy. I would say it’s no better than the Russian ones at 7.7 or have the pen that the flakpanzer has at 7.0 with the recent changes.

Fair enough
Aircraft:
F/A-18C Late
Mode:
Air RB
Proposed change:
14.0 > 13.7
It’s a side grade to the F-16C in which you get more missiles by completely throwing away it’s flight performance, it should not bet above the F-15C/Su-27SM/J-11B which do everything better and have similar missile amount.
Aircraft:
F-16CM PoBIT
Mode:
Air RB
Proposed change:
14.3 > 14.0
It’s an F-16C with an AESA radar, the improvement in capabilities is nowhere near enough for it to justify 2 step difference in BR, the AIM-120D and C-5 are in some cases just downgrades of the A/B models.
You can’t carry the MAWS pylon with missiles either.
Aircraft:
F/A-18E
Mode:
Air RB
Proposed change:
14.3 > 14.0
The Superbug is just as before the side grade of the F-16CM with more missiles countered by throwing away all performance which even as terrible as bad as it is now it’s still wildly overperforming.
Neither the F-16CM and F/A-18E are equals to the F-15C GE which just straight up fixes all the problems both those aircraft have at the same BR.
Aircraft:
J-15T
Mode:
Air RB
Proposed change:
14.7 > 14.3
It’s not an equal to the SM2, it’s a normal SM with barely no countermeasures and 2 less missiles for better engines.
The MKM at 14.3 get’s a MAW something the SM2 doesn’t even have
Lack of countermeasures makes it incapable of staying in the fight, when 98 don’t get you very far right now 48 is nothing.

AIM-120Ds are the worst ARH avalible at top tier being barely harder to dodge versions of C-5s, which are barely faster Bs, which are copy pasted As
The GEs engines are horribly underpowered for the BR
The radar is a sad excuse next to the EF2k, rafale, and SM2
The airframe is also miserable compared to the three aformentioned aircraft
The only benefit it a slightly higher missile count, and a infinite pit of CMs
