Planned Battle Rating changes for April 2024

AMX to 10.7? Now the most fun-to-play Italian line up shall be gone.

So does the US 5.7 and Chinese 5.7.

Interestingly, the only way to play a full-line-up hellcat will be to buy a Tigris and play the italian hellcat at 6.0

Yeah it’s frankly pretty ridiculous. They introduce a new attacker at a viable BR range, then nerf it just when everyone’s had enough time to grind it…

HE IS THE MESSIAh!

Batchat must be at 6.7

Uh oh someone hasn’t flown yhe AJS thats 4 9ls if you dont take any counter measures. Also the mirage IIIC going to 10.0 and the AJ 37 staying 10.3 is ridiculous when comparing their air to air abilities and flight performance. Also no guns for the AJS if you take the other 2 9L’s, same 2 pylons are shared between gunpods, countermeasure pods, and 9L’s

How the amx 30 dca can be 8.7 ??

VIFFing is largely useless in my experience, to me its an extra stage to flaps, in my around 1200 games in differnent harriers ive never noticed any real improvement in turn from VIFFing if anything it just slows you down and makes overshoots easier, honestly would be good if they made rear aspect missiles lose lock when VIFFing, at the moment VIFFing makes even the AIM-9B all aspect

the SRAAM is extremely pontent if fired in range, (i have a clip where it pulled a 180 turn off the rail and killed an Su-25 in the Hunter F.6), the lack of countermeasures is a big hit but the SRAAM is a perfect flare in a headon and you can outrun anything that has all aspects at the BRs you see and flying into the sun nullifes practially any AAM launch and with the Harrier P/W and accleration its not too difficult to accelerate toward the sun

Jagdpanzer IV: 4.3 to 4.7.
It’s the best casemate tank destroyer in the game 2nd to none for the BR it currently is.

WHY GAIJIN WHY Prinz Eugen and Hipper back to 5.7???

Yeah, that was an IRL tactic, but missiles lock onto the engine and not exhaust, that is why the F-5C is far colder than the Harrier. Even when on full reheat.

So many balance issues could be fixed if they modeled IR signatures realistically

Yeah thats true i forgot about CM pods and guns. Same as you forgot about CM pods which mirage doesnt have but AJ37 do

ive just realised that the Sea Harrier FRS.1 is also at 10.7, Doubt they care much about the British tree, find any aircraft at any BR and there is something superior (minus the Gripen)

But they F-16A for China doesn’t have the HMDS in this game ,and its engine output is minimal among F-16 in game

The BMP-1, currently stationed at a Battle Rating of 7.7 in War Thunder, is appropriately positioned within the game’s ecosystem. Moving it up to 8.0 BR would disrupt the balance of gameplay, as its capabilities align more closely with vehicles at the 7.7 level. With its combination of no armor, good armament, and mobility, the BMP-1 thrives in engagements against opponents within its current range. Elevating its Battle Rating would subject it to adversaries with significantly greater firepower and armor, and also stabilizers and lazer rangefinders potentially rendering it less effective and diminishing its role on the battlefield. Therefore, it’s prudent for the BMP-1 to remain at its current Battle Rating of 7.7 in order to preserve the integrity of gameplay.

Then you’re simply wrong, or at least, using the Fireflies wrong.
Stay at range, and your small weak spots will be much, much harder to hit. Alternatively, simply fire first. You can centre-mass penetrate 90% of the vehicles you face from any range, while they will need to carefully aim for two very small areas. The Firefly, if used even half-decently, is capable of dominating 4.7, 5.0, or even 5.3 battles.

shocker 2S38 is ignored again… when are you gunna stop smoking that copium on your money machine and put this up to 11.0, its LITERALLY a better HSTVL but as per usual “huh duh stats”

Ah yes because better missiles, internal gun and flight performance definitely and no countermeasures warrants it going to 10.0 oh wait the 10.3 J35D is in the same boat. Also i knew what the C was missing because the E directly improves that while also staying at 10.3 shocker
