Planned Battle Rating changes for April 2024

The issue is the stupid forward mobility and acceleration it gets as well as having T-80U armour a whole 1.3br lower combine that with a small map and you can just blitz around corners one shotting with the massively overperforming spall that 3BM42 gets while people generally panic shoot non penning which against a T-72 at point blank would usually go through

I like how the Japanese Sabre going to 8.3, can now soon add it to my 8.3 line up for Ground RB. No longer have to rely on my R2Y2s there.

Not at all.

The French Roland 1 has terrible elevation that heavily limits it’s ability to engage high flying aircraft, along with completely lacking the track radar present on the other roland platforms.

The 9.3 SANTAL is just a better SPAA at this point considering it’s extremely good vertical guidance, thermals, and 6 ready to fire MISTRAL MANPADS that can be fired back to back without having to sit through a restrictive reload animation after firing 2 missiles.

With all of the other high tier subsonics moving down it makes no sense that britain is still stuck with such overtiered vehicles these changes as is will only makes things worse so they either need to be not implemented or britain should also have a majority of their rank 5 and 6 aircraft move down

Vampire FB.5 from 8.0 to 7.7 its already one of the worst starter jets and it doesnt help that it shares a br with better variants of itself in non british techtrees

Venom FB.4 from 8.7 to 8.0 again its strictly inferior to its contemporaries and will soon be a higher br than them such as the sabres and mig-15 it should not be the same br as the CL-13A mk.5

Hunter f.1 from 9.0 to 8.7 this used to always be the equal to the CL-13A mk.5 it makes no sense that it should sit higher than it in br

Scimitar F mk.1 from 8.7 to 8.3 the scimitar has an extremely rigid playstyle that forces it to BNZ only especially due to the horrible rudder which makes it feel like a ho229 in its accuracy. At its current br its almost impossible for it to make use of its sole advantage in acceleration when it will soon be forced to contest with even more aircraft at an even closer BR to itself capable of keeping up with it that also have the ability to turn faster than a brick

I dont disagree with you but holy run-on sentences batman

Yeah i cant be asked its a forum post on an informal site its not exactly an english exam im too tired to punctuate it properly anyway

Why is the T-34E STZ going to 4.3? It was fine at 4.0 and the 15mm of additional armour didn’t really change anything regarding how it’s played.

And why is the event amd still at 1.7 while being worse than the tech tree one?

Given the movement of the Sabres/MiGs, please also address the following:

Venom FB.4 > 8.3
Hunter F.1 > 8.7
Hunter F.6 > 9.3
R2Y2 (all) >7.7
M.D.452 IIC > 8.0
Mystere IVA > 8.3
J29F > 8.7

EDIT: Also a very good case could be made for Yak 30D to 8.3 as well, but should probably be Rank 5 then.

I’ve been spading a lot of Rank 5/6 jets across nations lately and almost everything I’ve been playing at 7.7 has been rather fun. Unfortunately they’re now going to get dumpstered by the MiGs/Sabres.

MiG-15bis ISH should have stayed at 8.3 IMO. It has an almost identical FM to the normal MiG-15bis and more + better CAS options. It being able to fight F3Ds, A2D-1s, etc, is straight up unfair.

Concomitant balance changes for vehicles without BR changes:
f-104S.ASA: Ability to carry 2 extra AIM-9L’s on 2 inside pilons.
f-104S/TAF: Ability to carry 6 AIM-P-4’S

stop crying it dies to anything just use your thermal sights for once and aim they are free RP/SL pinatas

Conversely, 2C should be given it’s missing 1910M round, which would help with pen. As long as they don’t take away the nuke round, cause that’s fun, lol

It’s armor get one shotted anyway by the German tanks so what’s the point of that change

Pinatas you say… Even while using Leo 2a4 I start praying for the successful pen of that UFO level armor that 2s38 has. It eats shots as if they didn’t even exist.
I at least have to brake the turret ring so I can feel safe. If I fail to kill that thing with one shot my Leo is almost always dead in no time. Doesn’t matter from which side I am facing it

You can oneshot it with HEAT-FS to the turret its not like the old 2s38 that was nigh unkillable and besides any APFSDS to the crew compartment will also instakill

  • Rip AMX, no more great CAS for 10.3 line-up. Now I hope you at least designate it as AMX A-11B and add AMX A-11A with limited air-to-ground options.

  • Don’t see the need to increase BRs of M18 family (as well as M64), are they really that statistically OP?

  • Don’t like when SAM carriers go lower in br, even if it’s Roland, it won’t be fun to encounter it in 8.7 aircraft, especially helicopters limited to smth like 9M14…

PS moving stuff up in the already dead Italian Coastal tree isn’t a wise decision.

What I said is that sometimes apfsds that I shoot just disappears at the level of outer side armor, thus not reaching the crew. While facing 2s38 I am never sure about the success of my shots, even in the best situations
