Another case of relocating compression, instead of increasing the BRs and adding more, you just move down the compression so a different group of vehicles gets to suffer.
All of this is pointless, leave subsonic planes at 9.0 and they suffer from 10.0… push them down to 8.7 and 7.7 gets to suffer… it’s ALMOST LIKE EVERYTHING IS COMPRESSED and you refuse to add more BRs which is VERY OBVIOUSLY what is needed.
And now we’re going to have a 0.7 BR difference between a F-86F-30 and a F-86F-40 when neither should be anywhere near 10.0 to begin with, whilst we still have subsonic planes at the same BR as planes that do mach 2, and planes without counter measures against all aspect missiles.
BR changes are a giant waste of time because you’re not solving the actual problem, you’re fixing a single leaky pipe when there’s 50 more leaky pipes and it’s the whole plumbing system that needs to be replaced, sick and tired of this nonsense.
There are other mediums at 6.7 that also out class it, Type 61/ST-A3 and AMX-M4 out perform it in reload,Pen, And mobility, at the cost of some armor which M26 armor at 6.7 barely holds up anyway unless its a full downtier, Type/ST both get HEATFS aswell.
i dont think ive ever seen a naval BR change that made much sense
always a bunch of coastals you’d completely forgotten about and 1-2 bluewaters that are going up/down for no discernible reason
su11 rinses demon in every metric other than top speed which f3h barely achieves in an actual game. su11 has better performance than some jets currently sitting at 8.3
the M4A3 has double the gun depression of the Firefly
as is hte standard for russia, while also having superior armour to the firefly, a gun that can pen most angled armour due to russian APHE angle performance, a quicker stopping to shoot time due to the more rigid suspenion, and superior manoeverability
which you only see in full uptiers, so anything other than that the extra pen is useless
any other gun like the 76mm, russian 57 or 85 and the pz 4 gun can pen a KV relatively easily (unless it is a 1B or 1E)
forgetting the M4A2 has more reliable armour than the Firefly, a stabiliser and a gun although not great, is usable, im not saying the M4A3 should be at 5.7 but it is a marked improvement on the Firefly, if we ignore the woes of APCR it has the same pen as the 17 pounder at 190mm with atleast accorining to the stat card only marginally worse angle pen and even doesnt lose that much pen with range
Not sure how to feel about the cold war jets getting down to 8.0-8.3. If they face it’s eachother they are very balanced, since they have similar performance. But they will destroy everything at a slight downtier. Hell the mk 24 can face them now.
What you should’ve done is raise the br ceiling and decompress
certainetly better than the Vampire FB4, thing struggles to get to above 400mph and only ever really exceeds 500 in a dive, which the Meteor Mk.3 can do the same, at 7.3
do something for the french Vautour IIB, nothing to do in 9.0, no defensive gun, no offensive guns, no missiles, no afterburner no flares & the worst is that there is no way to spawn in the air. I know you don’t like France but pls, its not fair…
AMX-13 DCA 40 must be moved to BR 5.3 since the Leopard 40/70 was increased of BR its French counterpart must also be increased of BR
Albatros (Italy) going BR 4.0??? Are you crazy?
Russia has SKR-7 at BR 4.3 for years and you increase a weaker ship than SKR-7?
SKR-7 and SKR-1 should be moved to BR 5.0
Furthermore, the Folaga must remain at BR 3.3 why not raise the BR of the Russian ships? They are the ones that are destroying the game’s naval balance
Also as always you ignore 2S38 which should be at BR 11.7
the 24 has been sad for a while, at that stage in jets at 8.0 which you only ever see even right now noone turns with a prop and you are just left to hope you can move quick enough to 3rd party someone
I dunno if you noticed, but I’m more on the fence over the fact that you put the the 77mm OQF at the same tier as the 17pdr. It’s significantly worse in every way compared to it with the only benefit being that it’s on an ok platform like the Comet and Concept 3. Even these platform however, are not a big deal to literally any gun on their respective BR range, unlike how the Panther was before the great BR raise which only happened recently and we still have one being the Pz. IV/70 (v).
It has worse base reload and velocity which led to worse penetration. I found it funny too that you compared the 76mm M1 to the 17pdr as closer to 1:1 when the 77mm OQF is far closer to that in terms of in-game shell performance. Even then, the only trade-off it has over the 76mm M1 is the fact it has APDS, while the 76mm M1 are superior in everything apart from having an APDS.
I dunno what rock you’ve been living in but, ultimately, all BR changes, whether it results in compression or decompression, are ultimately decisions that the Devs make at the end. That and the fact that they’re mostly using player based performance on the vehicles to make changes unless it’s a massive compression/decompression like they’re doing now with the Korean War Jets. It’s why things like the Long 75mm Pz. IVs could even go so low to be at BR 3.x range which is now even more absurd with the raise of the 1941s T-34s.
