M4A1

  • Arcade Battle BR: 3.3 → 3.7

  • Realistic Battle BR: 3.3 → 3.7

  • Add M48 Super Charged (HE) (Bug Report)

  • Correct the armor model to match the Sherman II (Bug Report)

us_m4a1_1942_sherman
Rationale:
The 75 mm M3 gun is arguably one of the best guns in its general BR range due to its combination of stabilization, decent penetration, and good post-pen damage. Against lower BR vehicles, the M4A1 is essentially playing a point-and-click game. All the while, it still has sufficient armor to resist most poorly aimed shots.

The only thing holding the M4A1 back from going up is the dated armor model, which makes the hull front roof and corners more exploitable as weak points. The Sherman II, which is also early M4A1, has a much more historical and up-to-date armor model, and is already sitting comfortably at 3.7.

Come on F8U-2 at 10.0? we all knew how this ended last time. Also The Su-30 Premiums at 13.3 can just stay there? They are completely overpowered and greed is the only reason why they stay there. Make them 14.0 and decompress the entire br range. The Mirage 2000 C-S5 is objectively better than the C-S4 but because of br compression this cannot be reflected in battle ratings. Same with many other planes. Either decompress or limit the br spread to 0.7, works both.

Tank:
KV-1S

Mode:
Ground RB

Proposed change:
Rank 2 → Rank 3

Reasoning:

Russia has plenty of similarly armored vehicles with the same gameplay at 2nd rank. No reason to keep it as the only 2nd rank 4.3 tank in the game. This would contribute to improved variety of vehicles eligible for Battle Pass and Events progress.

Vehicle: Brigand B.1
Gamemode: All
Class Change: Light Bomber → Strike Aircraft
Reason: Brigand has no bombsight and is not able to perform level bombing, it is equipped for ground attack and was used in this role in Malaya from 1949-1953.

Gaijin are actually one of the more reactive companies when it comes to MMOs. They have issues but many other games are worse.

Were ??

It also lacks any form of ground weapons so it’s stock grind is also worse. It also lacks Aim7P meaning until tier IV you are stuck with 9Ms and the two stock Aim 120. It’s also not possible to go lower as Smin stated 10 Fox 3 is too strong for 13.7

Trust me this was a big discussion when the US first got the hornet since we asked for MLU 1 Which would be the same as it is now but with HMS and (9X eventually like MLU 2) but again it was denied. Since Smin denied the F-18C going down to 13.7 it just doesn’t make sense for the F-18E to go down unfortunately.

They’ll tell you to list one vehicle at a time

Aircraft: Ta152C-3

Mode: Air RB

Proposed Change: 6.3→ 6.0 - 5.7

Reason:
Terrible maneuverability; increased difficulty in attacking due to the MG151’s reduced muzzle velocity; and worse climb performance than the P-51H and other aircraft of comparable class

Type 2 Ho-I
jp_type_2_ho_i

  • Reload Speed: 5.9 s → 3.3~4.0 s

jp_type_2_ho_i
Rationale:
Other vehicles with low velocity 75/76 mm howitzers like the T-28 (1938), M8 HMC, and the very analogous early Panzer IV’s have aced reload speeds of 3.3-4 seconds, but the Ho-I’s is longer than even many higher velocity 75 mm guns. This should be the opposite. Ho-I’s rounds are shorter and lighter than the Germany short 75 mm rounds, and more accessible than those of the Panzer IVs due to the convenient bustle ammunition rack.

Additionally, the Ho-I has greater need for faster reload than the Pz. IVs due to the much worse HEAT shell muzzle velocity, meaning misses at range are more frequent, and with the current reload rate, more punishing.

That’s why to fast lol

why are they moving it down again? this it the 3rd time its going be 10.0.
