Planned Battle Rating changes for April 2024

Lmao yeah my bad, I meant hopefully Gaijin just leaves the Puma where it is now.
Its in a fine spot, dont need to be moving it to 4.0 in the foreseeable future.

That thing called the royal navy between 5.0 and 6.0:

Keeping it against Battleship spam is criminal
CL/CA should fight eachother, not be forced against hordes of BBs

Gaijin, please R2Y2’s down to 7.7 or 7.3; come on, they have no business being 8.0, especially after the gunnerf to 770 m/s. Hella Bad engines, good turn time, I also don’t see how the R2Y2’s are compareable to a MIG-15, a 1945 “Jet” vs a 1947 Jet

+Ki-200 also nerfed guns to 700 m/s and no more full HE belt.

+Hipper class should stay at 6.0.

The vampire has the same problem with the zero, a zero player would be able to defeat many allies players cuz they began turnfighting, and many early jet players would turnfight a vampire too, since at the time(7.3/7.7) nobody has a significant energy advantage(except for the La-200 and some other stuff that nobody plays). They both got very good WR and KD and gets moved up subsequently.

Stab is immensely helpful, and lets you fire first most of the time. Mobility advantage of the '34 is definite, but its balanced by the reload/armor disadvantage, especially in AB.

I dont play RB as much, but at least in AB its fine at 3.7.

Why would something need a hard counter? Do you wanna play Air Battles or Rock, Paper, Scissors? I’m not very knowledgable about Air balance, but as long as there are planes that can fight it on even or slightly advantaged terms, that should be more than fine

This change should work on the T-80UD, but im not really sure about it. Let’s compare rougly that stated buff to the 90A.

90A will have a better dart, has LWS/LR. Because of this means that the 90A should be 11.0 aswell ?

6.0 being the new 5.7 when are you going to raise ground BR to 12.7 so you can unjam 8.0-10.0 and raise 7.0 to 7.7 so we can see an actual early Cold War BR?

Always.

I dont like this change overall, but compared to the other CAS option at 10.7, that being the Su-22M3 and F-104G, nah, id keep the AMX. Stock R-60Ms cant mean much in GRB anyways.

Both use limited APDS belts while the DCA has the universal belt. What lineup did you even want to play at 8.3 with the Brenus at 8.7 now? There’s little change with this choice.

Uh I forgot about the T-90A. Perhaps to 10.7 as well, since I also forgot about the UM2 which can reverse and has APS. Still, Russia 10.7 is underrated I guess, and some changes that places vehicles that should be 10.7(OBJ292) there might have some effect. T-90A and 2S6 already presents a good package but its just not attractive compared to 11.0.

Italian G.91 series and F.104 still unplayable it seems, how’s it possible that mig 17 the absolute beast gets lower BR while this flying trashcan G.91YS is at 9.7?

its less the fact the vampire is 8.0 (which it is) its more the fact its held to the same standard as the export Vampires which have 1330 KGF of engine thrust stock while the FB5 has 1290 KGF SPADED which is a significant performance increase when the export ones are spaded with a significantly better engine, with everything else being the same

I could just quote this and leave it there, 'cause you say this but then you tunnel vision on the penetration of the 17pdr while dismissing all other aspects of the Firefly and the 76mm Shermans, as if the Firefly will always be in the perfect position to fire the first shot on an unaware opponent, and no other scenario could possibly occur.

Factors like gun depression (which dictates which positions you can and can’t use), gun handling (which dictates how quickly you can get your gun on target), short stabilisers (which increase the speed you can react at (and also improve gun handling)), and post pen damage (which can let you move on to the next target quicker while firing fewer rounds) all roll together to give the 76mm Shermans a higher BR than the Fireflies as they’re more usable for the general playerbase.

And while I’m here, you say all 77mm armed tanks should go up too, but that’s only the Concept 3 and the Comet. You ommitted both from your reasoning section, which I’m not surprised at as the 77mm Shot Mk.8 has basically identical penetration to the 76mm M62 round. The comet can use sabot, sure, but the post-pen is poor at best, the accuracy is awful, and since it’s early sabot it likes to shatter. The reload is also excessive, 9.6s base while the Firefly gets 7.6s and the Challenger 6.7s. The Concept does get the 7.6s base reload, but doesn’t get Sabot and has abysmal gun handling.

I actually dont know that. But the FB.52A already struggles to keep up its speed at 8.0, they should get a drop overall. With less and less player playing early jets, people who knew the thing will began to energy trap the vampire more often and defeat it that way.
Hence I think in the future probably before X-MAS, the vehicle will get a BR drop. Its energy management is just too bad at the BR.

was talking bout su11 tho

The anti-everything crewless turret SPAA with access to 200+ rounds of APFSDS is not “fine”.

If Gaijin chooses to model it after it’s real life purpose and limit its ammo load the same as they do with the OTOMATIC then maybe it can sit at 10.0, as it stands it can shoot through the front of any armor it comes against with ease. Even when taking it up to 11.7 the only thing it struggles with is the Leo 2A7 / STRV 122Bs as they have a reinforced front LFP / UFP. It can still easily blast their turret breech though something no other IFV is afforded.

Imho Mig-15 has a much better performance compared to the other planes in its br.
