The main issue with gaijin’s balancing is that they cater to the players with low skill.
That results in planes with a skill floor (or premium/squadron vehicles) being undertiered while ones that are easy to use (but not necessarily good) end up going higher.
IRIAF and Su-27SM are the perfect example of that.
Gaijin should stop catering to these people and instead focus on those who are either average or slightly above average
Vehicle: T-55AM-1
Gamemode: Ground Realistic
BR Change: 9.0 —> 8.7
Reason: it is gona be in the same br with Leopard1A5. It has worse mobility and armor that can’t protect it against DM33.
This will create a one core problem, the good plane/tank with high skill requirements became something exting because new players never gonna learn how to play this
For example the whole zero line
G.91Y shouldn’t be going up in ARB when planes like the CL-13B and F4D exist at 9.0, and at 9.3 you have planes like the Su-7, F106, MiG-19s, etc, not to mention it would be able to see 10.3 which includes app aspect missiles it just shouldn’t see.
If you want to move the G.91Y up, there would need to be a lot of decompression with supersonics, otherwise you’ll just end up killing a fun plane for no reason.
Vehicle: EC-665 Tiger UHT
Gamemode: Ground Realistis
BR Change: 12.7 → 12.0
Reason: It has few countermeasures, lacks any DIRCM or MAWS, which makes any IR missile lethal. It has no autocannon, poor rate of climb, the tandem PARS have questionable damage and don’t always oneshot even the Pantsir, and its range is 7 kilometers (compared to 17 km for the LMURs and 16 km for the AGM-179).
If the Tiger Nr 1-50 are going down to 6.3, why shouldnt the M26 Pershings go down to 6.3??? And also if the T26E5 is going up to 7.0 it would make the most sense to also move up the Tiger II! The T26E5 was never overpowered at 6.7.
Vehicle: F-6C (Chinese MiG-19)
Mode: Air Simulator
Change: 9.7 → 10.0
MiG-19 already has the most dominant flight model at 9.7, arguably to the point that it already deserves to be higher. Giving it strong missiles at a BR where many planes lack countermeasures only exacerbates this problem. It should not be the same BR as MiG-19 or J-6A either way, and 10.0 would make it a more even matchup.
“Logically” is your assumption again. Also if we go this way, j22 has 16 las guided missiles which can take out much more bots. Plus gun. At 9.0 while a6e has only las bombs and faces stronger opponents. So Im right either way.
Not only, I stated other reason as well, which is players ignorance and lack of patience.
Rank 6 can unlock su24m, su25t, mig27m/k, su17m4 - strongest pieces of ussr cas aside from su30/34.
Ad populum is quite bad argument.
But slower than f4e with 8 fnf. So is it worse than f4e?
I own su24m with even faster mitl missiles which get shot down easily even by rolands. And suffer from same bugs. So I own tram and su24 with similar mitl missiles while you own nothing.
