  1. Doesn’t work at long range.

  2. Hetzer will win anyways as it can just lolpen a Sherman, and doesn’t have to spent time aiming for a specific part of the tank.

I played a few games earlier. Tbf Japan does skew the stats abit, but this is just all the more reason it shouldn’t be facing 4.0s.

These battles were all played at 5.3*

If anything should be 6.3 (or at least 6.7), it should be the T95.

Delete me cupola just makes the vehicle an easy picking.

Nah not really. Some tanks are stronger and some tanks are weaker. Skill doesn’t change the tanks themselves.

Vehicle: SdKfz 140/1
Gamemode: GAB 1.7, GRB 2.0, GSB 2.0

Suggestion:

  1. BR 1.7/2.0 > 2.3
  2. Rank I > Rank II
  3. Add additional track armour on upper right superstructure.
  4. Name; SdKfz 140/1 > Aufklärungspanzer 38(t)
  5. Add Scouting
  6. Apply top speed and gearing corrctions.

1785914219318772015478782043753

Reason: The SdKfz 140/1 (also known as the Aufklärungspanzer 38(t) or AKF 2cm) is a late-war conversion of the Panzer 38t Ausf.H chassis into an open-top reconnaissance tank. Its chief task is reconnaissance, meaning that having it locked into Rank I denies the Scouting ability it would historically rely on.

In addition, its top speed and gearing are incorrect, leading to muddy performance and an inability to accelerate in mid and high gears.

A revision of this vehicle is necessary to allow it to perform properly as an armoured reconnaissance platform.

See also;

  1. More track armour for the SdKfz 140/1
  2. Sd.Kfz. 140/1 lacks Scouting
  3. SdKfz 140/1 top speed & gears incorrect

Italy
G91 Y
Air Realistic
9.3 → 9.0

This plane has to stay at 9.0. Its not supersonic, not super maneuvrable and actually fly in a weird way. There is no reason for a 9.3 BR since the YS is 9.3 and has aim9Bs

In game it has a 20(?)mm plate under the hull that appears to be bolted on, I assumed it was for mine protection

T26e5 going to 7.0… WHAT. One of americas only good heavy tanks going to face much better tanks than itself, while tiger II and is2 goes down??? I don’t think the nerf is needed for the t26e5, it has weak spots just like the is2 and the tiger II. Not to mention the is2 1944 having a much better cannon. so why is it going up. Keep it at 6.7

The 7.0 lineup isn’t available.

122mm takes 20+ seconds to reload. T26E5 is strong because of its reload. It has always had worse pen than the T34, M6A2E1. I’m neutral on the E5 going to 7.0, but don’t act like the IS-2s gun is all sunshine and rainbows.

Japan Me 210 - V22

  • Rank : Rank II → Rank III
  • Ground Realistic & Air Sim Battle: BR: 2.7 → BR 3.7

Reasoning

The Me 210 V-22 has extremely excellent performance as a Japanese attacker. Its bomb load of two SC 250s and four SC 50s is powerful. Despite that, its speed performance is not much lower than that of average Japanese fighters. An Me 210 escorted by ZERO or KI -43 is rampaging in every battle. BR 2.7 is too low.

I mean REALLY

Why on earth is the 50mm Me-262 moving down? It’s the only one that’s half decent to play currently, the 30mm planes suck and need a br drop way more than it does

Vehicle: Me262A-1A Jabo
Mode: ground realistic
BR change: 7.0 to 6.7

Reasoning:
The only difference to the Me262A-2a event vehicle is having four Mk108 guns instead of two. While in air this may be a considerable strength, in ground mode this advantage is minimal due to the Mk108 being unable to effectively damage armoured targets.
Therefore i see no reason the A-1a Jabo shouldn’t be moved to a BR in line with the A-2a in ground realistic. It would also see more utilisation since Germany lacks an available 7.0 lineup.
The same change should also be considered for the regular A-1a which is very similar to the A-1a Jabo.

Yeah, i can get behind this one. Even if you have 7.0 lineup, it’s typically a poor choice compared to Horton. Not to mention the IL-28 is coming to 7.0 to give even less reason to bother. Though, i guess we also need to remember that plenty of enemy props are going up in BR to 6.0-6.7. So you wouldn’t want to compress things too much.

Dude - seriously?

Please change this proposal to Ground RB or Arcade battles - but for an A2A role in Air RB your proposal makes zero sense. I use the German Rank III 410 A-1 at BR 3.3 frequently - and you need a hell of experience to make it work bc basically every fighter even at lower BRs outperforms you in at least 2 of the 3 main decisive points (speed, climb, turn)…

The Me 210 is not that different from the Me 410. While its engine power is lower, it is lighter in return. Additionally, its low-speed maneuverability is better than the Me 410’s and is in a range that can be considered comparable to the Fw 190.

It’s true that I haven’t used it in Air RB yet, so there are still many things I don’t know about it. I’ll make the revisions as you pointed out. However, it is a fact that in Ground RB and Air SB (EC) it has turned out to be a quite powerful Jabo.
Considering that it can coordinate with Japanese turn fighters, its BR needs to be estimated higher than that of the German Me 210.

That part of the game is already seriously compressed.
5.0-7.7 should be spread across more like 5 full BRs

Would be even better if the F-117 was given additional armament that was planned for the proposed F-117N. That would make it an actually meaningful aircraft.
