9Ms are less visible than L-i’s, GR4 having an additional 320 countermeasures(BOL which should be buffed in effectiveness).
Also the biggest thing being HMS to easily acquire/switch targets, makes it worthy of a .3 BR difference to me. Don’t need to be firing an R73 to benefit from HMS especially considering how much of a brick the tonka is.
I am also biased and looking for any extra excuse to have a Tornado with IRCCM missiles that never see 13.0s
The ELC 901 is the subject of many historical errors. They might be correcting some but didn’t list it in the comments.
@SiberianSnakeSIB is responsible for a lot of reports on it. He might have some idea of what they could be changing with it to warrant moving it up.
They can’t move them to 13.7 just yet, they’d be facing top tier jets (which betrays their alleged Air rule of not having “top tier” premium jets).
They’d have to move top tier to 15.0. Which is why I advocated for major decompression from 11.7 to 13.7, which would imply bumping top tier to 15.0.
It barely makes a difference
Maybe, but when has CM count ever been factored into BRs. Like Harrier GR1 with no CMs at the same BR as the AV-8A/AV-8S with 240. The SLE gets MAWS and the extra flares from the BOZ-EC, that is enough
Might be true if the GR4 had ASRAAM, but with 9Ms its just a QoL upgrade if that, I barely use it and wouldnt really notice much difference without it. You arent going to be firing in HOBS at the very least.
Im sorry, this is just a bad excuse to screw over the GR4.
The BRs should be:
11.3:
IDS
IDS (1995)
WTD61
MFG
ASSTA1
GR1 (with the GR1 getting the same engine as the other 8)
11.7:
RET8
12.0:
GR4
SLE
Whether they could all go 0.3 lower than that is a debate to be had, but thats how I would do it for now.
Yup. And still zero naval decompression.
They have had premiums face “top tier” for a while now. This isn’t a real rule. They just won’t uptier it because they know its overpowered and they’re doing this on purpose to make money through p2w schemes
Or even any meaningful naval changes. Period
Can’t say anything for the plz05 but the type 99 is really annoying to play, mobility is less than mid, armor is constantly trash, and has god awful depression along with bad turret traverse.
Edit: I also haven’t played it in forever, so take with grain of salt
you think there’s anything else different about those two aircraft that could explain it
Fair argument and I’d subscribe if not for the fact we’re just speculating. They’ll balance them out when they either milked them enough with a sale each, or even more powercreep arrives to top tier.
They should be 13.7 anyway
This isn’t speculating. This is pretty observable repeat behaivor by gaijin. Don’t get why you went on to say the same thing I’m saying with this though:
BR change following the introduction of the next soviet and chinese premium top tier vehicles, they’ll get fixed
why are all most of the japanese props that are rocket capable being nerfed? is it to bring them on par with the other rocket carrying prop planes? those things barely keep up as is, this BR change makes no sense at all, please dont bmake their BR higher!!!
For 3 years the Harrier GR1 also had significantly weaker missiles than the AV-8A/AV-8S.
So no. Not really.
Even now, Id say 2x 9Gs which actually have some flare resitance vs 4x SRAAMs is fairly reasonable.
and that still also leaves the GR3, AV-8C and Sea Harrier FRS1 all with 1/4 of the CM count of other harriers with the same loadout at the same BRs.
Vehicle: Stalingrad
Gamemode: Naval Arcade, Naval Realistic
BR Change: 7.7 → 7.3
Reason:
The Stalingrad is at best a sidegrade to the Kronshtadt. Your armour, and as a result survivability, is way worse, and while you have slightly better guns, that improvement does not warrant the Stalingrad being higher.
Stalingrad’s belt is substantially thinner than the Kronshtadt’s. Stalingrad’s guns have only slightly better reload, and slightly more pen compared to the Kronshtadt.
The Stalingrad only improves on the Kronshtadt in areas where the Kronshtadt was already strong and an improvement would not be much noticeable. However, it regresses in survivability, where the Kronshtadt already struggled - and the Stalingrad suffers even more due to its higher BR.
one post per vehicle
they very much can, they just don’t want to
non irccm missiles (all of them) dont have any degree of flare resistance
Lol what happened to the change where they moved them down so they don’t have to fight the MiG-15’s and F-86?
Clearly the Mig-15s and F-86s are underperforming and need mroe free kills
