i do not look at naval threads, maybe if they made a proper tutorial for the RB aiming system for the long ranges you actually fight at, too much of a learning curve for me to be bothered with
even then i wouldn;t play coastal, you can get to top tier there and still be massively outclassed, even with needing 320k RP for the vehicles there
I do not have access to penetration stats outside the statcards in the game, so fair enough. I did not realize they were that close.
I still want M60s to be better, though :D
They got moved down so that they wouldn’t have the face the A-10s, but now they can face 7.7 F-80s and meteors, which isn’t fair.
IDK if skill issue or whatever but I just don’t think it’s actually a very capable vehicle. Lots of handicaps to being a meta monster.
It’s not like I’m just a bad player or something.
Wait till you play the cruisers. County-class and town-class are completely out of place, SAP? Nah. Armor belts? Nah. Rate of fire, the calling card for the royal navy? Nah!

If only there’s a solution?
Behold: decompression and raise the br cap to 13.0

I think it less of a meta monster and more of an undertier vehicle, like the su11, you heard that it is op and undertierd af ( kinda is), you play the thing and it just not what ur expecting. Yes its good, but it not bmp2m at 8.7 level of good.
Yeah, an Air RB EC would save ARB a lot. Just take SIM and change it to GRB air combat

The lack of voice for British naval is worrying. British cruisers are severly underperforming, there are no viable options to fight anything with an armor belt since the first British APCBC only existed 10" onwards. The pride of the royal navy, fire rate, meant nothing if the shells cannot pen.
Town class should not be anywhere higher than 5.3, while county class should be treated the same. Britain provides not a single non-treaty cruiser and this is the time when I thought the Brits obeying promises(usually they dont) is a bad choice, while its foes usually got away with up to one thousand extra tonnes.

Thank you very much for this overview.
Imho the US WRs are above 7.3 as they should be.
Why?
Because their players suck on average way more than every other nation - and gaijin helps them way too much with heavily undertiered late war / non WW 2 combat props just to lure them in investments in high tier / top tier jets.
Seeing US jets as target market this makes sense for gaijin, but they sacrifice all other WW 2 nations (except UK as their pilots are way better on average) to facilitate those jet sales.
Clearly visible at the 5.3 - 6.3 bracket up to 6.3 - 7.3…artificially inflated by P-51 H-5 & F2G.
I’m really leaning towards 23.7+ to be honest. Endless vehicles too powerful for BR A but to weak for BR B.
Good example, obviously good engines and nice energy retention, but doesn’t pull hard and the guns are inaccurate and low ammunition. Can be really powerful in the right hands. Nothing like an F2G-1 which is powerful in just about any hands.

Yes, and so I’m not sure where he is getting the ‘US Winrate is extremely high’ from.
The playerbase of USA and their performance is reflected by the Winrates and KDs that they have. Of course, some USA aircraft and tanks are underpowered, but a lot of it comes down to how good the players are, which most new players choose either USA or USSR, and ruin their respective nation’s overall stats.

If gaijin decrease BR for fighter aircraft early 50’s early MiG-15 & MiG-17 variants (HuAF, GER & USSR), F-86A-5, F-86F-25, F-86F-30, CL-13 Mk.4, CL-13 Mk.5, J-2, J-4 and Lim-5P this month
I might hope aircraft max speed mach 0.86 & lower at rank IV ~ V and decrease BR for Air RB
Rank IV
- Spitfire F Mk.22 6.7 → 6.3

I say 20.0 and rank 10 would be the hard cap for gaijin, decompressing is good but too much of it would literally increase the wait time to insane level. Also not like they can add that much stuff that 20.0+ br would be needed, heck maybe this game will never see gen 5 or they might start adding ace combat stuff.

that actually makes it better, for little old strikers and bombers, (they should make it if any “Jet Fighter” bombs bases they get spotted on the map, or bring back 1? ,min base respawn time, Not 5, that change just killed the buccs stone dead in RB for me, go side wait for people to bomb, then start heading towards bases, and then you would be there when the bases respawn, but no not anymore, more so in the S.2B the battle would be over as the bases respawned
Or they could add multiple respawn to Air RB which would help some stuff, but then it would be Arcade with larger maps, ground spawn and lower performance plane models, but Air RB EC is the way forward, especcialyl with Fox 3s imminent
23.7+ is far too much, 14.0-15.0 is more realistic
That would just compress super prop rank even more, there is no win situation for anyone in this scenario
Do agreed with the spit mk22 and mk24 going down tho.
The problem is that your proposal isn’t objective balancing. If something is op, it won’t suddenly make it the most planes vehicle in game.
It will only harm popular vehicles. Tigers, Panthers, F-84s, A4Es, M18s, and other very popular vehicles will go up to a BR beyond their capability. That is bad balancing. It will also move a lot of vehicles that are balanced and fine where they are to BRs where they are over/undertiered.
It will also make most minor nation vehicles go down to the point where they are OP, like France 7.3/7.7 which is fairly balanced at their current Brs.
The better solution would be to rely less on player stats, and rely more on community opinion and objective comparisons.

They can test it.
I am not convinced by Gaijin’s nonsens conservatism and hesitancy.
They don’t show such restraint when it comes to the vehicles being added, but only when giving BR to the latest powercreep which obsoletes everything which came before.
