Point is, Japan now has some TDs around those BR so we may hide unhistorical stuff like in all previous cases like this.
FINALLY

Vehicle : M4A4 (SA50)
Change : Reload speed change to 6.5 ace from 7.5.
Reason : Sherman Firefly at 4.7 have a similar pen with 5.9 Aced (with some drawback such as worse depression but then again the SA50 is 5.0 compared to 4.7)
BMPT has an LFP weakspot from 9.3, should it go down to 10.3?
Vehicle: F-84F (All variants)
Gamemode: Air Realistic
Rank Change: VI → V
Reason: it would allow all thunderstreak to enjoy the same strike aircraft airspawn that the US Thunderstreak does, which they very much need as strike-focused planes with poor agility.
Vehicle: Vautour IIB
Gamemode: Air Realistic
Rank Change: VI → V
Reason: the Vautour IIB suffers greatly from having to race fighters, fighter-bombers and strike aircraft to the available bombing targets, even moreso than the other vautours, since it has no air combat armements of any kind.
A6M5 Otsu

- Air Realistic Battles: 6.0 → 5.7
Reasoning: I fail to see the justification for moving the A6M5 Otsu to 6.0. To me, this seems to be an unnecessary proposed BR change that appears to be based on player statistics rather than the aircraft’s actual capabilities. The A6M5 Otsu, at its undeserved 5.7 placement, is outclassed by its fighter counterparts. While the aircraft has decent maneuverability as its main strength, it still does not warrant any further BR increase. Revert this proposed BR change.
I would consider buffing the reload of the AMR.35 ZT3 to the same as the AMD.35 (From 3.0 seconds to 2.0 seconds) Because it uses the same gun in a casemate configuration.
Hello
These vehicles were already pre-reviewed as part of these changes given previous requests to add new missiles. All of the British Phantoms are currently performing on average or better than their peers at their respective BR. So AIM-9L is currently not under consideration, as this would improve their effectiveness even more and lead to a BR increase.
Vehicle: Commandant Dominé
Gamemode: Naval Realistic
Balance Change: Change Commandant Dominé’s Game Role from Frigate to Sub-chaser
Reason: It lacks speed and armor.The firepower in the front was extremely weak.Moreover, the caliber of the main gun is too small to effectively counter other subchasers and frigates, let alone destroyers.So please change it to make it more effective in Naval Combat.
That’s BR not capability. We’re asking about capability.
This is like Saying ‘This tree has NO SPAA but that’s okay because there’s a bunch of other vehicles at or around the same BR’
okey bro i see u r british, now i understand.
against all that obama changes
But Japan has not had anything related to tank destroyers added to that BR slot or even close to it in 3 years
But that is leaving Japan without anything heavy
Ground RB
FV438 Swingfire
8.0 → 7.7
It isn’t good and is extremely niche, this will help it perform
Even the F-4JUNK that is a straight massive downgrade over any other F-4 at 12.0?
Vehicle: Tank-SAM-Kai
Gamemode: Ground Realistic & Ground Sim
BR Change: 12.0 ----> 11.3
Reason: Worst k/d for rank 2+ AAA (currently around 0.4), one of the worst in-game currently and since the end of 2025.
Absolutely dominated by any target flying near the ground (TV guided, or ARH guided) and any weapons with a range over 7-8km. Is not comparable to the Pantsir-S1 at 12.0, nor to FlaRakRad and ADATS at 11.7.
Type 81 missiles are very too easily flared and can track the sun even tho it is TV guided, both missiles (optic and radar) missiles are too slow and lacks a lot o range. It won’t hit a target over 7km away, while at 12.0+, engagement are furhter than 10km.
cannot get a lock on most armament for an interception and don’t have smokes, making it extremely dependant of the map’s topography.
Vehicle: L’Intrépide
Gamemode: Naval Realistic
BR Change: 2.7 -----> 2.3
Reason: Lacks secondary fire power and bad maneuverability
Ground RB
FV102 Striker
8.3 → 8.0
It isn’t particularly good and is very niche, this will help it perform
Then if it’s performance is good enough to work at 9.3, can it get some of the improved MECAR ammo that the Belgian variant had so that it have a line up?
Because right now this is the third BeNeLux Leopard without any other vehicles at its BR in the French Tree
