Japan losing its only piece of heavy armour? Surely we’re getting the O-I as a replacement right?…right?
OOLLL

Hmmm… still no Ground Top Tier decompression at all.

This is highly disappointing.

The range in capabilities among 12.7s alone is worth a full new BR step. Many 12.0s shouldn’t be seeing 12.7s at all. BMPT still somehow 11.7.

T26E5 6.7 don’t move. Its slow heavy tank without g7j to fight 8.0 enemies.

9.3 → 9.7

Reduce reload to 6s

This thing is obscene at 9.3, and is a significant upgrade over the Chieftain 900, it should go up, and should also recieve the reload buff other chieftains should get

Mode: Ground Realistic Battles
Vehicle: MSC
BR Change: 11.0 → 10.7
Reasoning: With the addition of the basket to the MSC its really not good enough anymore to justify being a BR step above the Leopard 2A4s, M1s etc.

Are you actually mental!
Su27SM gets not only L150 ESM for easy finding of SPAAs be it with or without Kh31PDs equipped, it gets up to either 4x ramjet assisted ASMs or 4x very good ATGMs with a solid FM.

MK2 is already underBRd to hell at 12.3 with its kit and should be 12.7.

Vehicle: Comet I (UK TT, Premium “Iron Duke”, & Sweden TT)
Gamemode: GAB, GRB, GSB

Suggestion:

  1. BR 5.3 > 5.0
  2. Reload 8.0s > 5.0s

Additional suggestions;

  1. Add armoured ammunition bins.
  2. Add 77 mm smoke shell.
  3. Add exhaust cowling.

Reason: Comet suffers from a disproportionally long reload time for a less-effective weapon than other UK tanks at its BR.

In line with the upcoming reload reductions for a large number of vehicles, Comet’s 77 mm reload should be reduced below that of 17pdr-armed gun tanks (with one loader). While the projectile was the same, the 77 mm cartridge was much shorter, lighter, and manageable within the confines of the turret. This should be represented by a faster reload speed than 17 pdr-armed tanks such as Firefly & Centurion I (both 5.9s).

For Britain, changing Comet’s BR to 5.0 would allow it to be played alongside the Churchill VII, and provide a BR step between the Sherman Firefly and A30 Challenger.

For Sweden, it would it to be played alongside the Pvkv m/43 (1963) and Strv m/42 DT, and reduce the BR gap after the T-34/Pz.IV folder.

In addition;

  1. Comet’s armoured ammunition bins are missing from the internal model (as are the bins on many other British vehicles).
  2. Comet’s “Normandy” exhaust cowling is missing.
  3. The Finnish Comet should have a Type B hull with turret smoke dischargers and through-bulkhead exhausts.

Oh so because the T20 is played by good players we need to nerf it. Char 25t type shi changes, the tank is getting the french treatment

Devs seeing Churchill VII being pleasant to play: What? Good British tank? Not in my economy!

Vehicle: XF5U-1
Gamemode: Air Realistic
Br change: 5.3 → 5.0
Reason: As of now this plane is very much so almost incapable of being effective at all at its BR in every single aspect making it more or less a free kill. Not even its “gimmick” justifies being and such BR.

Not like anyone actually cares about the goddamn Gazelle, but this is ridiculous.
You’re moving a copter with RWR and thermals down to 9.3 while moving a copter that has no features whatsoever up to 9.3

most top tier AA have same issue? it’s not the reason to decrease BR. Even more, it will fight against strike aircraft with little or no guided weaponry at all

Vehicle: AH-129D, A.129CBT
Change: Add AGM-114K
Reason: every other helicopter has received hellfire 2s at this point, Italy has been forgotten again. With the apaches moving to 11.3, 8x hellfire 2 on a mid airframe shouldn’t be OP. For the AH-129D it should have been added long ago, stock grind with AGM-114B at 12.7 in today’s war thunder is unacceptable

Chieftain variants:
Reload change to 6 seconds
Reason: This has already been bug reported twice as historical, currently it’s reload is worse than the 105mms whilst sitting at a BR where every 105mm has much better ammunition (in the form of APFSDS)

It is also silly to put the Leo A1A1 with Dart at the same BR as Chieftain Mk 3 in it’s current state, particularly the early Chieftains are lacklustre for their BR.

Vehicle: Ariete and Sagittario 2
Gamemode: Ground Realistic
BR Change: 9.3 → 9.0/8.7
Reason: Both planes don’t have any suspended armament, chaffs and flares, previously have been nerfed, and meet spaas such as Strela-10, Pgz-09.

Ground RB
Churchill Mk.III,

4.0 → 3.7

It isn’t significantly good at 4.0, and doesnt fit well in the meta

In addiiton you can make it’s gun the correct 6 pdr Mk.III, and not the incorrect Mk.V in game (the visual model is already correct for the 6pdr Mk.III)
