The better kit is barely arguable.
PL-12s are worse than R-77s
PL-8Bs are debatable
Su-30MK2 also has NCTR over Su-30MKK
Matchmaker is the same.
Su-27SM is effectively a 14.0 plane. Literally better than every 14.0 we have right now.
Both the premium flankers and Su-27SM sit at too low of a br
Su-30KM2/MKK are better than every 13.3 aircraft and superior to various 13.7 vehicles
Arguably better at 13.7 than the F-16C
Easily better than the F-16A OCU
Better than the Su-34
Better than both 13.7 F-16s here
Better than the F-16AM here
Better than the squadron gripen easily
Better than the Sufa
Most likely better than this too
Possibly even better than the gripen C and F-2A for 16v16 air rb
These flankers are easily on par with both the MiG-29M and MiG-29KR
Which sit at 13.7 (Their only advantage over premium flankers is the radar and the KR has the better fm for duelling)

Vehicle: Yak-1B and Yak-1B (Germany)
Gamemode: Air Realistic Battles
BR Change: 3.0 → 3.3
Reason: Extremely capable and very META all around package. Fast, climbs well, holds speed well and is manoeuvrable. Stronger than the Yak-9 at the same BR and a sidegrade to the Yak-9M at 3.7. Definitely should go up.

Vehicle: BMPT
Gamemode: Ground Realistic
BR Change: 11.7 》》》12.7
Reason: It destroys literally everything frontally and the damage model is so bad that you can pummel the guns and it doesnt miss a beat. It’s extremely survivable, with the LFP being the only consistent way to deal with it, even with top-tier mega rounds like M829A3 and DM53. The developers should also look into other ways of making the BMPT more susceptible to top-tier MBTs.

Vehicle: Yak-9T and Yak-9K
Gamemode: Air Realistic Battles (emphasis on the AIR…)
BR Change: 4.0 → 3.7
Reason: Flight performance is a side-grade at best to the Yak-9 at 3.0. The high calibre cannons are less reliable than the ShVAK 20mms. Performance is fairly mediocre all around.

I hate people who play this tank
Maybe i havent really faced it recently so idk but they should just add a new br bracked to ground and air atp
Vehicle: La-5FN and La-5FN (Germany)
Gamemode: Air Realistic Battles
BR Change: 3.7 → 4.0
Reason: Extremely capable all around package. Very fast, climbs very well at low atltiude, has great guns with lots of ammo. This vehicle really has no flaws below 3.5km altitude. It was already strong at 3.7 before the rudder was changed and the high speed pull was drastically improved. Not that far off the La-7 in performance, if im being honest.
well for playing it a lot recently, iriaf wont care about 13.7 because it will still be as strong, even if you get uptierd to 14.7 you will still be able to get kills easily because people cant turn 90-100° and press chaff, even at top
they wont, also why ?
Not only this, but given the BR compression we have, there has to be cases where vehicles that differ in performance exist at the same BR, otherwise the slightly worse performing one gets to go down to a lower BR and stomp lobbies.
Br compression? Maybe

My kdr on the F-16CM is above one and it also the plane where i learned top tier combat and I haven’t played it in a year or so, maybe even 2. For the F-16A ADF i haven’t finished the stock grind and still only have 2 AMRAAMs as the best air to air loadout, which regardless of the AMRAAMs superiority is subpar when compared to 6 PL-12/R-77s found on the flankers, even though they are worse Fox-3s, essentially with 2 AMRAAMs you can apply early game pressure and get no kills for yourself, or nullify the advantage of the AMRAAM and let yourself be forced defensive by shorter range Fox-3s, and then having to fight without the positional advantage the pressure from the AMRAAM grants.
Vehicle: La-7
Gamemode: Air Realistic Battles
BR Change: 4.7 → 5.0
Reason: A sidegrade, or a very minor downgrade, to the La-7B-20 which has 3 cannons instead of 2 but less ammo per gun and exists at 5.0. The La-7B-20 is very strong even at this BR, and given how dominant the La-7 is in today’s META, I think they should be the same BR.

Vehicle: Ho 229 V3
BR Change: 7.0> 6.7
Reasoning: The Ho 229 V3 is currently over‑tiered at 7.0. Its flight model is notoriously difficult to handle, with poor roll rate and rapid energy loss. For its ground‑attack role, the “armored targets” belt was originally nerfed by mixing low‑penetration rounds into what was once a pure HVAP belt – this was done for balance reasons at the time. Later, the Spawn Point (SP) system was introduced, requiring extra SP for ordnance belts. However, despite this new system already costing SP for such ammunition, the pure HVAP belt was never restored – it appears to have been overlooked after the SP change. As a result, its CAS efficiency remains severely reduced, and combined with its current handling drawbacks, the aircraft is no longer competitive at 7.0. It should therefore be moved down to 6.7.
Additional Suggestion:
In addition to the BR drop, I would also propose adding a pure SAPHEIT belt (historically documented composition) as an auxiliary ground‑attack option with no additional SP cost. Previously, the APHEIT rounds on the Ho 229 V3 were changed to SAPHEIT, reducing penetration to 38mm. A historically accurate pure SAPHEI belt would provide a viable, low‑cost alternative for engaging light‑armored targets. Even if a BR reduction is not granted, this new belt would partially compensate for the aircraft’s current shortcomings and offer more flexible CAS loadouts without disrupting balance.

R-77 is buns compared to aim120

Vehicle: I-225
Gamemode: Air Realistic Battles
BR Change: 5.0 → 5.3
Reason: Incredible flight performance. Insane climb rate and engine power is maintained until very high altitudes. Low speed manoeuvrability and general 1v1 potential is amazing. Performance rivals, and in many cases beats, the P-38K which is already undertiered itself. The compression is severe and very limiting, but that is stopping this being a 6.0 plane, not stopping it being a 5.3 plane. Experienced, patient pilots can work around the compression and slowly whittle down opponents.

How
It has superior flight performance at ranges that matter
Literally the second best pulling Fox-3
Don’t get me started on meh range, the best Fox-3 in the game has worse range than the R-77
