Vehicle: Harrier T mk.10 Gamemode: Ground Realistic BR Change: 11.7 —> 11.0 Reason: Its A2G performance is decent but nothing special but where is falters is its A2A performance, its a harrier GR.7 without aim 9m and two BOL pods but all the same issues of facing far superior aircraft all the time
Given the reduction in BR of many fighter bomber aircraft that notably outperform the Harrier GT10 overall, such as the Mig-29G, F-15As, F-14s which is now 11.7, there is no reason for keeping the Harrier T10 at 11.7 purely for the sake of it having better performance vs aircraft, and aircraft that are a much higher BR in air modes.
Id much prefer the T10 to have had 9M and all the BOL but if gaijin is hellbent on it beign an 11.3 CAS premium it ought to at least be competitive in the CAS scene.
Eh… Gunna disagree there actually. Id consider the T10 an upgrade over the Tornado GR1 at 11.3, and we are seeing aircraft like the Su-39 moving up to 11.7. A-6E is also moving up to 11.0.
Fighters are moving down, but CAS aircraft are moving up in places or not moving at all in others,
Sure, its weaker in A2A without IRCCM, but its not weaker in A2G
Last of all, given the lack of ground vehicles at 11.0 and 11.3… Its not the change I would fight for at hte moment. Instead focusing on getting hte GR7 down to the main 11.7 BR.
thats an issue with the tonka rather than the harrier.
the Tram is one hell of an aircraft which to be really honest is better than the T10 a lot of the time because of the skipper bombs.
GR7 at the same BR as T10 given the A2A armaments makes zero sense at all. its like having a F-4E higher than a F-4J… oh wait that is literally a thing
Or the Hawk 200, Hawk 200 RDA and Hawk 209 all being the same BR?
Or basically any of the IRCCM fighers now at 11.7 like the Mig-29, F-15s etc at 11.7 or the Mirage 2KCS4/5 at 11.3
Sure. The T10 and GR7 being the same BR in GRB despite differences in A2A performance is a bit wierd, but they have currently identical A2G performance and that is what should take prescedence for a ground attack aircraft.
Reload buff 7.4 seconds → 6.7 seconds (first stage ammo, 15 rounds, located in the back of the turret.
After first stage is diminished, it is a 8.7 second aced reload)
OR
Reduced the Battle rating from 6.0 to 5.7.
Reasoning:
The reload is not quick enough for the meager and weak 85mm at br 6.0, lacking in ability to kill most 6.7s and 7.0s
It’s armor is good but it’s cannon is too weak as it mainly sees 6.7 and 7.0
Even in downtiers most tanks have no problems killing this tank.
The new Radar + IRST and improves HUD on the F-14D makes it far more formidable than the F-14B in Sim, I believe with how sim BRs work it would be a good idea to put the F-14D on par with the F-2A ADTW for simulator battles, as they are both very strong but have advantages/disadvantages over one another.
Reasoning:
StuH 42 is StuG III equipped with a short-barreled 105 mm howitzer. Its HEAT shell Gr.39 rot Hl/C penetrates 115 mm of RHA at all ranges.
However, the reload time is 13 seconds (10 seconds even with an ace crew), which is far too long for a vehicle that relies on HEAT shells.
Lacking any clear advantages over the StuG III F/G, the StuH 42 has long had very few players.
With more tanks receiving reload time buffs alongside upcoming BR changes, it will only fall further behind on the battlefield. It needs a reload time buff.
