That would be wrong to nerf a vehicle to be unrealistic instead of trying to make it balanced at the BR it was at.
Yeah, I agree. Interestingly, after the BR change of the Hellcat, Italy could be the only choice if you still want to play the Hellcat and have a full lineup.
But it’s still a pity to see the situation at 10.3. It won’t be a weak BR even without the AMX (far from it), but it will be somewhat “mediocre”.
Still, 2S38 not being addressed, able to engage air targets AND ground targets effectively, but 0.3 lower than HSTV-L. Money over balance.

I have a feeling that they might be making room on that line-up to add Italys other CAS aircraft they have not added yet like the Aermacchi T-346A or the Aermacchi MB-339
These battle rating changes are awful. The T-34-76s will now all be the same BR with the much better STZ and captured German variants being only 0.3br higher than the VERY first T-34s available.
In the air, we have gaijin COMPRESSING AIR EVEN FURTHER while NEGLECTING to even bother trying to downtier the ACTUAL MUCH WORSE jets at 8.0-9.0, instead electing to downtier THE VERY BEST JETS AVAILABLE AND ONLY THEM in the form of the F-86 and MIG-15/17 type jets.

Im hoping a lot of bombers/ground attack aircraft will get a BR reduction for air modes in June, Currently their BR is set for both ARB and GRB
1.3 BR lower, you mean?
But yes, I agree fully

That bracket is impossible to balance.
for example:
Aircraft like the Hunter F6 and Harrier Gr1 I think are perfectly balanced for an 8.7-9.7 match. The issue, is that you are almost always upteired to fight 10.3. Where you are just DOA. It might be possible to drop their BR down to 9.3 but they would still face mostly 10.3s and they would dominate at 9.0.
What they really need to do is either
-
Put a hard wall in at 10.0. So aircraft below 10.0 never face anything above 10.0
-
add some kind of guranteed downtier mechanic (so maybe 1/5 matches wont be uptiered)
-
forget random RnG MM and have Air Sim style brackets.

Personally feeling: this game is often selective when it comes to realism, especially in the design of armament. Examples include the lack of PTAB bombs, the ability to semi-automatically guide Bullpup missiles on the H-34. Not to mention the “balanced” power of Nord missiles and the “balanced” anti-tank abilities of many US SPAAs.

Hope so, or just add some 11.0 ground vehicles.
I understand that fleet (espacially coastal fleet) never gets much attention, but increasing the BR for LE Orla/Peacock and M17/M802 while keeping the BR of Pr.206 and SKR-1/7 at 4.3 is purely insane. Did the developer ever play Orla and M802 before suggesting this BR change? Those ships are very vulnerable and nearly impossible to fight back when facing either Pr.206 or SKRs, increasing their BR simply make their chances of facing those OP ships much higher.

we should put the all the cl13 to 8.7 since they are just simple f86 sabres, and we should move the f86k to 8.7 because is basically a g91 with a better engine and radar: fun fact the g91 was based of the f-86
also the radar is almost useless because it has the same radar as the f3d so its old and it can only detect large aircraft for example:the il 28
it really needs to put on 8.7 because its really punished by its br and its not manouvrable as a g91
and all the other sabres with sidewinder missiles deserve better

as an israeli main i just wish some of the magachs go down to BR 9.0, the magach 7c, 6b gal and gal batash because i think 9.3 is a bit too much to hold with modified m60s and also because you will meet some mbts that are very superior like the abrams itself that is supposed to be better than the m60 obviously and also you’re going against the object 292 which is 10.0 and should probably be moved to 10.3 instead (the same goes for 2s38).
there’s also a big issue is that you’re going against bmp-2m with 1200mm pen ATGMS and an annoying gun.

Isnt the frenchie b26 noticably slower? If anything it should be lower. I dont really remember though.
The Strela-10M2 has a mode in the missile (Photo-Contrast) which allows it to ignore all flares and countermeasures, pair that with the missile being in-evadeable with its higher than average G-load (no way it’s always 22Gs…) and you have a unstoppable missile spaa at a really low BR for what it offers. The Type-81C also has the same capabilities near 1:1, except better G-load and and range, yet that lets it sit 1.0 full br point above the strela? Yeah no… it should go up in RB as well.

**Please reduce F104S and F104S TAF battle rate. its really bad to face F16 and even phantoms.it have terrible radar and maneuverability in 11.0 just please reduce its br **

I’m continually fascinated by their reliance on whatever algorithm/spreadsheet/statistics they use to balance and the glaring hole it has when the lesser of two identical vehicles or plane of similar capabilities in minor nations isn’t adjusted.
They moved every meta US/Russian early Cold War jet down, and left everything in GB and France the same.
It’s wild.

Do not move the 8.3 and 8.3 jets down. It will just ruin the game for the starter-tier jets. Just increase the top BR cap. It’s that simple. This would be obvious if you actually played your own game.

Most of these changes look awful and why are the BMP-1s going up? They aren’t 8.0 material and don’t tell me it’s due to the heat it’s not as great as people make it out to be
Why is the top of the BR still so compressed?
Why are Mig23s fighting top tier jets so regularly? It feels like 90% of all games played in mig23s are uptiers. 11.0 and 11.3 in air RB has way too many top performing jets in their games.
Why are F5s going up against planes that outmaneuver them, have better missiles, and better top speeds than them? What is it that they do better than the competition?
The aviation changes at the 9.0 range make sense but the 3rd gen fighters need some serious love in the BR. There is no reason that a 3rd gen plane should be going up against 4.5 gen plane. It makes sense for the 3.5 gen planes to get uptiered into 4.0 gen planes but a weak Mig23 has no business going up against the second best f16 in the game.
