Let’s just do the only thing that matters since Gaijin prefers more money over listening to its community and raise the Battle Rating (BR) of the two problematic aircraft alongside their friend, the IRIAF F-14!!!
Why is the Battle Rating (BR) of the IRIAF F-14 increasing, while curiously that of the premium Su-30s remains unchanged?
As usual…
Vehicle(s) affected: Su-30MKK / Su-30MK2 AMV
Game mode: Realistic Air Battles
BR change: 13.3 → 13.7
ARB
MiG-29(9-13)
13.0→12.7
It’s not worth it to just equip the R-73 just to boost your BR. If it performed like it used to, that would be one thing, but the R-73 hardly ever hits these days.
Sidegrade mostly. Both can just wreck aa from outside their range but tram can do that with decent thermal tpod plus its missiles are faster and dont appear in aa radar fov. While j22 can launch slower kosava but with less preparations. No other aircraft could do that hence why they both moved up.
Vehicle: F-104s.ASA
Br change: 11.0>10.7 or 10.3 Ground RB
Reason: This thing only gets dumb bombs and rockets and an rwr that gives no direction, i dont think this should be able to see pantsirs per say. I would be happy with it being moved down to 10.7 to replace the F-104s being moved down to 10.0.
Can the terminator please go up to at least 12.0 yet? 10.7 is still plagued with them…
Venom FB.4
Ground Realistic
8.7 → 8.3/8.0
It is the same as the Vampire, that its engine just isn’t powerful enough compared to the jets at its own BR. Its engine performance is probably closer to 8.3/8.0 vehicles that 8.7 vehicles. It is especially problematic when it have to try to engage or at least try to avoid radar guided SPAA, since you need to waste a lot of energy to dodge the SPAA.
leopard1a5 is down, but gaijin again forgets 120 leopard1
Mirage 4000 : An aircraft lacking Fox-3s and relying solely on Fox-2s is technologically inferior to its counterpart, the Mirage 2000C. It is no longer suited to the game’s current meta, where Fox-3s are everywhere at the 13.0 BR level!
Or just give it MICA missiles, Gaijin invented the entire weapon system anyway!
Vehicle(s) affected: Mirage 4000
Game mode: Realistic Air Battles
BR changes: 13.0 → 12.7
“All but confirmed” does fit, since all sources say it did exist in some capacity and issues only come up with questions like how complete it actually was, which isn’t really an issue when unfinished prototypes are still real.
The track link alone suggests that at the very least there was a test rig for the tracks or suspension (unless we assume the unlikely case that a mold was made specifically to create a signle cast track link), but more likely it was part of the prototype we do have direct evidence for.
Information on it is far from perfect and as much as I want it in game I understand that Gaijin need more detail to model it accurately, but this has nothing to do with if it was built or not.
The Leopard A1A1 and 1A5 battle rating are cool, but there’s no changes to the amx-30s and 32s
Why is the amx-32(105) and amx-32 at 9.3 and 9.7 while the 1A5 is at 9.0??
Also, the striker mirage 2000s are at 11.3 and 11.7, the 11.7 one being the RMV, and it makes no sense being like this when tha fighter Mirage 2000 is at 11.3.
So t72b3a going 12.0 but vt4 or vt4a1 not going down ? I really don’t understand
a-10c has glide bombs that players use in ARB to farm howitzers, a-6e doesn’t, neither does the j-22. And that doesn’t particularly matter anyway because the a-10c I would imagine is one of the harder CAS to play at 11.7. Even if we assume all the a-6e’s kills were in GRB, a KB of 1.38 is nothing of note. By that logic that j-22 should have went to 11.3 or 11.7 because it’s KB is 1.95. I’ve seen the skippers were able to be shot down by spaa radars so I have no clue what you are talking about.
M26
Ground Realistic
6.7 to 6.3
It is a less upgraded version of the heavy Pershing’s like T26E1 and T34 and should not be at the same BR.
removing AIM-120C-5 changes nothing btw
Why is the F-4J (UK) still at 12.0 BR in Air Realistic Battles? Does it have any advantages compared to the tech-tree F-4 variants?
it’s fine at 13.0
The issue is the compression.
The solution here is to decompress the entire bracket
Not move more stuff down which makes compression worse
T26E5
Ground Realistic
6.7 to 6.7
It is equivalent to the King Tiger, trading firepower for mobility and does not have the characteristics to be 7.0
j-22 targeting optics have like 0 gimbal
Oh I do, but I guess the new ammunition would justify it.
Mode: Ground RB
Vehicle: Pvkv II
Change: 4.3 to 4.0, move slpgr m/43 modification to Tier II.
Justification: The stock grind is extremely painful while using the solid AP, and the vehicle itself offers few advantages over similar vehicles like the Marder III H (which is an entire BR lower) apart from having a turret.
