Vehicle: Pantsir
Gamemode: Ground Realistic
BR change: 12.0 → 12.3 or 12.7
Reason: The system is way more effective than any other system at 12.0, having capabilities that vastly overperform anything else at the same BR.
Fast missile, 4DL channels, solid reach of 18km (for reference the CLAWS C7 amraams are effectively useless past 15km due to speed bleed and sitting at the BR of 12.3 without any ability to defend itself), ability to defend itself to a degree from ground targets, 12 ready to fire missiles with 12 more in ammo box, very good search radar with high vertical limits, K-Band track radar with NCTR.
Compared to systems like Ito 90M or CSSA5 and such, the Pantsir is able to pose a much higher threat than any other 12.0 SPAA
Vehicles: Su-30MKK Gamemode: Air RB and Ground RB Br Change: (Air RB) 13.3 → 13.7 (Ground RB) 12.3 ->12.7 Reason: (Air RB) This plane is simply too strong, 6x great Fox-3s as well as 4x solid IRCCM missiles on decent a fm for air RB with digital RWR and 98x large caliber countermeasures make it easily the best 13.3 in the game.
It has the second best missile kit (R-77, PL-12, PL-8B, R-73, R-27E) at 13.3, allowing it to easily win against every other 13.3 plane (besides the other flanker) in jousts, it has great range thanks to R-27ER and has plenty of missiles to spare as it is the highest missile count of any 13.3 plane in the game.
Reason: (Ground RB) This plane’s CAS loadout is almost identical to the Su-27SM’s loadout but it get carry one less Fox-3 and two more KH-29Ts. There is literally no reason for it to be lower in br compared to the Su-27SM’s
Game mode: Air realistic
** BR:** Top br 14.7 -. 15.7
** Reason:** Air rb is very compressed in the br range of 10.3 to 14.0. Due to this alot of vehicle are suffering and hence by raising top br to 15.7, we can finally decompress the br range 10.3 to 14.0
Proposed Change:
Raise BR ceiling from 14.7 to 15.0 (or preferably 15.3) and up all jets above 13.3 by 1 BR step
Reasoning:
12.3s and 12.7 desperately need some breathing room and we need majority of good Fox-3 carrying platforms isolated to their own. And a higher BR ceiling is needed in any case
Su7, a flareless missileless plane with 160 rounds of ammo will now be facing A-10s, Mig-21s, F8Us, and see missile armed supersonics more often. It was already unplayable in uptiers, now its going to be unplayable period. Give us mission score for dodging missiles, cuz thats the only thing the Su7 will be doing.
J-11A has SPO-15, so MiG-29 rwr. It is the third best 13.3 plane for sure but it is harder to use due to the rwr. I think it could stay at 13.3 unless we get decompression
An unstabilized, turretless tank with limited mobility and survivability as well as prohibitively high aiming time. Compared to 8.7 SK105 (which shares the rate of fire advantage) it’s worse in every way except being able to take low penetration hits strictly head-on.
Vehicle: F-14A
Gamemode: Air Realistic
Change: no BR change, add AIM-9L missiles
A configuration with no AIM-9L missiles was used for balance reasons that are no longer an issue nowadays with F-14 being among the less competitive planes of their BR, yet incapable of going any lower due to ARH access.
Given its br increase (13.0 → 13.3) Now it faces vehicles with much better missile, kit, missile amount, like Su-30MKKs.
While its sensor suite is Amazing, its weapons lacks a lot, both in terms of quality and quantity.
The fixes i mentioned will allow it to stay competitive in its BR
Both the fixes i mentioned are historical and accurate in real life.
Vehicle: F-14B

Change: no BR change, add AIM-9M missiles
A configuration with no AIM-9M missiles was used for balance reasons that are no longer an issue nowadays with F-14 being among the less competitive planes of their BR, yet incapable of going any lower due to ARH access.
