Vehicle: Pvkv III
Gamemode: Ground Realistic
BR Change: 3.3 → 4.0
Reason: It should receive its historical APDS ammunition, which fits its high-zoom optics and improves its anti-armour capability. With APDS, it would better fit Sweden’s 4.0 lineup and should be grouped with the Pvkv II, allowing players who enjoy the Pvkv III to continue with the longer 75 mm gun.
Since F-5A’s were moved to 9.7, I believe there’s no reason for F-5A(G) to stay where it is. As far as I know, AGM-119A Penguin missile which was able to lock onto stationary ground vehicles doesn’t have that feature anymore, so it’s barely any better at killing ground targets than any other F-5A.
Reason: Removing the SAP-HEI slhpgr m/43 round would reduce its anti-tank capability, while replacing the current HEFI-T ammunition with slsgr m/483 and slsgr m/484 would improve muzzle velocity but make it a more dedicated SPAA. A BR of 7.3 would better reflect its reduced ground performance while maintaining its anti-air role.
Vehicle : Rooikat 105
Gamemode : Ground Realistic Battles
Change : 9.7 —> 9.3
Reason : Compared to the Rooikat MTTD, the Rooikat 105 features an additional smoke launcher and one more crew member, but in return, it has a manual loading mechanism.
Why is there a difference in BR between these two vehicles? The Rooikat 105 should be set to BR 9.3.
Mode: Ground RB
Vehicle: A-10C
Change: 11.7 → 11.3
Reason: Please, for the love of God, move this thing away from top tier, there is no universe in which it performs better than Su-25T which is 11.3 aircraft. Either by decreasing it br for now or by doing decompression.
Vehicle : Chieftain Mk 3
Gamemode : Ground Realistic Battles
Change : 8.7 —> 8.3
Reason : Chieftain Mk 3 is a vehicle with extremely poor mobility. Furthermore, it lacks a laser rangefinder and is unsuitable for long-range artillery fire. Considering that other nations’ BR 8.7 MBTs are equipped with laser rangefinders and some can even fire APFSDS rounds, a BR 8.3 rating is appropriate for Chieftain Mk 3.
Obviously T20 is far from the most extreme case, but it’s still relevant unless you suggest that the distribution of players using it more or less matches the distribution of WT GRB players in general.
On the personal level, I’m more concerned about 103C being perma-stuck at 9.0 where it has no business being, as well as 1A5s moving down now. Like, 1A5 is basically the reference 9.3 against which all other tanks in that BR range are measured, what the hell.
Vehicle : F-16 Block 15 ADF (USA)
Game Mode : Air Realistic Battles
Battle Rating : 13.3 → 12.7/12.3
Remove AIM-120A from US F-16 ADF and return it to Early F-16 with only AIM-7M, while Chinese and Italians get AIM-120 for historical reason, American shouldn’t because in the Research Tree American already have a better F-16 with AIM-120 at only 0.4 BR step up (F-16CM) and with it Counter Measure count change to ADF make it almost impossible to play around 13.0 - 14.3.
