I’m dead set against power creep and top-tier balancing ruining WWII battle tiers. Any tank tweak that cuts reload time and makes vehicles feel identical? That’s the first thing I refuse to get on board with. How on earth does the Panzer IV share the exact same reload speed as the short-barrel 75mm M4 Sherman? By the late stages of WWII, there’s no way those shells punch through enemy armor just as well as the Panzer IV’s rounds
Vehicle:Bretagne
Gamemode: Naval Realistic
BR Change: 6.7 -----> 6.3
Reason: The main gun lacks sufficient penetration and the ship lacks AA guns

They’re reshuffling a BR that actually wasnt as problematic as a lot of things above it.
Gotta give it to them, they sure know how to mess things up

Gun was finished, plans were built up
Go check out the Ho-Ri suggestion, partial prototypes are sufficient enough as a vehicle in war thunder

9.0 → 8.7
Since the Chieftain 10 and 900, and Rooikat MTTD moved up it is without a lineup, and is also not particularly good either

Vehicle: MiG-29KR
Gamemode: Ground battles (All)
Changes: Add Kh-31AD and Kh-31PD to loadout and BR increase from 12.3 → 12.7
Reason: Right now the MiG-29KR has the same loadout as other Fulcrums at 12.3 with only the base model of the Kh-31 available to it. Making not really be any distinguishable from other Fulcrums and as a end of line naval fulcrum it should receive its best weapons it can use in game.

Vehicle: Tornado GR.4
Gamemode: Air Realistic Battles
BR change: 12.3 → 12.0
Reason: At 12.3, this plane is inferior to JH-7A in almost every way. It has very little air-to-air combat capabilities, only having 2xAIM-9M and a cannon. Yes, it has an HMD, but it doesn’t have an anti-air radar, and it can meet advanced ARH missiles such as R-77.

Vehicle: Su-27SM
Gamemode: Air Realistic
BR Change: 13.7 → 14.0
Reasoning: The Su-27SM has a better missile kit than every other plane in its battle rating outside of the Mirage 2000-5F/EI, while also having one of the fastest airframes at its BR, besides maybe the F-16C. If this isn’t enough, its flight performance is also one of the best at 13.7, where performance wise it beats almost everything at 13.0-14.3 in a dogfight, except for the JAS39C, F-2A, and Eurofighter.
Even if the radar may be fairly weak, it is still significantly better than that of the Mirage 2000-5F, which was moved to 14.0 purely because it has an incredible missile kit.

- Air Realistic Battles: 5.7 → 5.3
Reasoning: Arguably the worst-performing Zero in the game due to increased weight from the increased armament. I don’t need to say much. Revert this proposed BR change.

The T20 is highlighted with an explanation in the announcement as to why:
fix damage model of all t80
Autoloader model, installed on all of t80 tanks (t80ud, u, uk, ue-1, um2, bvm, etc) have problem with fragmentation, making all shells installed in it invulnerable in some cases
Other T series tanks doesnt have such problem

The devs can’t seriously believe the PGZ-88 is performing well right now because its stats are just that good, can they? It was obviously the bug with the turret armor overperforming that made it strong before. Now that the bug is fixed, they’re still raising its BR — that makes zero sense. If they’re going to bump up its BR, the bare minimum is to give it the APHE round that was already passed in the issue report.

Vehicle: MiG-29 9.12 Soviet, MiG-29 9.12A Germany, MiG-29 9.12B Hungary and MiG-29 Sniper
Gamemode: Air battles (All)
Changes: Remove R-27ER from its loadout and add R-73
The balancing of the 12.7 MiG-29s are completely out of sync with it having access to the most powerful SARH (R-27ER) at 12.7 and having a extremely poor short range IR missile with short range and a narrow FOV. The better option would be to add the R-73 to fix its poor IR missile issue and remove the R-27ER from it to make such a powerful SARH not be available at 12.7.
The community has been asking for this change for a long time just look at this poll

I guess yeah, not that I have it anyway. All I’d care about would be decompression anyway, I literally gave up on 12.0+ because the F/A-18s, F-15s, F-16s and especially the F-14s made the stock grind insufferable for my Mirage F1C

AMD.35 (SA35) from 1.7 to 1.0
you are buffing the reload on a basic AMD.35 thats 1.0 and has better penetration and ballistics would make sense to also lower the 1.7 version with 3s reload its only benefit is bit better spalling which helps but its still an AP shell and not worth 0.7 br diffirence

yeah and you understand that it doesnt have some unique or overpowered abilities and it just played by good players, and still decide to nerf it? what’s the point

Is this the same for the SuperTEMPs
I guess so

Vehicle: Su-30MK2
Gamemode: Air Realistic
Br Change: 13.3 → 13.7
Reason: It is among the best 13.3 planes in the game, closer in performance to 13.7 aircraft than 13.3
It’s performance may not reflect how powerful it is, that is simply due to it being a premium. Commonly operated by new players who don’t know what they’re doing
In the hands of a decent player, it is a complete monster
Move it up
