It is, but I’ve had no issues with it at higher BRs. My only comment is that it’s gun seems to be much more effective than the Warriors? No idea why, but I have more confident that it will do damage unlike when I used the Warriors where it seemed to do nothing but just punch holes through things.
It’s great they rope us into getting it through the Battle Pass, and then decide it needs to be pushed to a BR where it can barely cope, and in an up tier is useless.
also these popular premiums have a lot of new players that lower stats for them, its why stuff like it and the turm 3 stay put
Edit: forgot the swedish SAV and k9 vidar too, honestly quite incredible those arent even getting moved up either
huh m18 going to 6.0? for what? from what I recall the m18 just got buffed very recently, how can there be enough data already to justify an uptier?
also i really don’t think its much of an upgrade at all, sure engine is better but its already better than pretty much anything else that tier so no difference whatsoever. imo 6.0 is way too unjust
I don’t approve. But if they want to do it ok. Just don’t do as the R3 T20
That take for the strv 103s tells me youve got no clue what your talking about bud. The majority of your list jas some very bad takes but some good ones too. I do hope youll send a video of the strv 103’s aiming like a normal tank with no shaking since you’ve come to the conclusion that they fixed hullaim(hint: no its still broken)
I’ve commented elsewhere about why I think the proposed changes to the Sabres & MiG-15/17s are a bad idea.
A few unrelated changes I recommend considering for this patch:
F-104C - Add 2 additional AIM-9B on a center-line rack (historically accurate from Vietnam era) for a total of 4x AIM-9B. Then move it to 9.7.
R2Y2s - drop all of them to 7.7. After the Type 5 cannon muzzle velocity was nerfed to be more historically accurate, these planes are not competitive at 8.0. They would not be OP at 7.7.
Me 262s - Drop the A-1a to 6.7. Drop the C-1a to 7.0. drop the C-2b to 7.7. These are all very overtiered relative to their performance. The stats are–almost certainly–balanced out by more experienced players using inferior airframes to a fuller advantage. If the proposed Sabre/MiG-15/MiG-17 changes are implemented against the judgment of the players, the Me 262s will become completely impotent.
And there’s the core of the problem. You, like many others, only compares vehicles to their max uptier counterparts while neglecting the downtier vehicles they primarily face. By doing so, you can argue for a lower BR and for BR compression.
The Firefly is an incredible and undertiered vehicle, with better firepower than similar vehicles a full 1.0 above it, even with minor weaknesses in mobility. It deserves at least a simple .3 BR increase, as it currently dominates and bullies 3.7, 4.0, and 4.3, and handles up to 6.3 well in my experience.
Or they can fix SRAAM
They should have 1.8km range, not 800m.
They should have all-aspect, or at the very least, very decent side aspect ability
They should actually work within 500m of the target, but dont due to TVC issues
All of these have been bug reported and passed to the devs. SRAAM overhaul was rumoured more than a year ago, but nothing since.
I personally like SRAAM, and really want more aircraft with them, like a BAE Hawk. But they are just underperforming and combined with compression, they see aircraft they should not be seeing, especially those with all-aspect missiles.
try VIFFing. Angling the vector of the thrust to give better turn. I do think it needs to be lower for now, but less due to the SRAAM or flight performance and more due to the lack of CMs
That’s just a lie. I outright said after that very quote that the Fireflies in a downtier are nothing incredible.
Edit: Since you edited your comment with a new paragraph, I’ll edit mine as well, with a simple answer: The Fireflies do not dominate or bully any of the BRs you mentioned.
Add AH-1W swapping places with A-129 and G-Lynx, it only gets maximum 2xAIM-9L that REPLACE the AGM-114s, which the A-129 and G-lynx can carry along with missiles…
What about the promised spall liners in the Ariete a few weeks back. And what ever happened to the massive bug report regarding the Arietes armor that was accepted but the only thing that happened is that our armor wasn’t fixed and we became 3 tons heavier for no reason. The arietes are pure pain at top tier, do you really think the Ariete amv is equal in power to the leopard 2a7. The leopard 2a7 has armor, great firepower, spall liners, and many more things that the Ariete doesn’t while being at the same br. Please just compare the vehicles, the ariete has nothing better then the other mbt’s it has zero armor, mediocre firepower, and terrible mobility now. And that makes it so new players don’t think about grinding Italy because they look at the top tier tanks and they realize they are so bad, please just look over the vehicles and realize how bad the ariete is at its current br. And just because the win rates might be acceptable, the reason for that is because the only people who play Italy are skilled players and no average players play Italy because their tanks are so bad. Please just look it over-and realize how bad the ariete is compared to the other mbt’s at that br.
MiG-17PF is same plane as Lim-5P btw
Not even possibly. M900 would make it a better IPM1 and should mean an instant BR increase to 11.3.
It was just promised to the wind.
I know. Listing them seperately was intentional because they have different names.
I would suggest R2Y2s going 7.7 o:
I think these have the same performance as Me 262, if not worse. I have these 3 planes, but they definitely are not 8.0 planes, at least, definitely not made to face anything with air to air guided missiles. They have no radar, no warning system. Not that I complain, in the end, I don’t think these three have place anywhere, but it would be nice, if these three got some love from Gaijin c:
Agreed. The changes to Sabres, MiG-15s, and MiG-17s should NOT be implemented.
This would make starter jets unplayable/unwinnable. It would also seriously disadvantage British, Italian, French, and Swedish jets in the 8.3-9.3 BR range that would face more uptiers.
As many have mentioned, the problem here is the compression of jets from 9.3 and above downward into the Korean-era jets. Keep Sabres/MiG-15s as they are and move supersonics UP!
It can’t be due to the HP change, as m-18s which didn’t get it are also going up.
Yeah, but the armor can be trolly sometimes. Plus it’s cannon can also pen most, if not everything at it’s BR. It can UFP a Sherman, PZ4 and can pen the sides of every heavy tank it could see them, and even now when up tiered to 5.0. Oh and if you don’t believe me, I can use the same gun in the German one at 4.3 and do just fine. Andddd on top of all that, it’s not like it’s not the only one going up in BR. All the 76 ones are, except the 1940, and so it won’t be alone :) oh and just wait until you play the STZ one, same gun plus extra armor. And I don’t see that going up to 4.3 like the German one
RB:
G:
Sd.Kfz.234/2 → keep at 3.3. No survivability and weak cannon for 3.7.
M18 and M64 → keep at 5.7. It’s perfectly balanced there. It doesn’t need to go up.
A:
MiG-15 → keep at 8.3. Can’t go to 8.0, are you crazy?
Mig-15BIS → keep at 8.7. You already moved it from 8.3 to 8.7 because it was murdering everything. At 8.3 I felt like a god playing it.
In fact, looking at all the ARB changes → bad. Stop compressing. You need to expand BR!!!
