No. No no and no.
teh P-51H, F.24 and the Ta 152 C i agree with, though the Ta is a very potent energy fighter, the P-51H was much stronger than anythign else at 6.3 and the F.24 was alright but totally outclassed at 7.0, with fighting the P-51H needing to be as cautious as if its your BR rather than nearly a whole BR below
The La-9 seems fine at its BR, ive never layed it but i see a lot of them (good indicator that its a decent aircraft) the La-11 is worse but there are so few of them gaijin likely doesnt have hte volume of data to propose a change (only being a USSR Event or a chinese tech tree)
and i cannot speak on the Re.2005 (don’t even have a single rank 2 italian aircraft lol) but a whole 1.0 drop is extreme, almost unheard of a change that drastic probabally will break the BR bracket it will then be placed in
and the Meteor Mk.8 is heads and shoulders stronger than the Vampire FB.5, in every caragory apart from a one circle fight
move them down to 10.7, move the rest to 11.0
So the F-104s at 10.3 without flares (not in USA) but the 9.3 F-104s are fine.
As someone who has played the 10.3 F104s and got 3-1 KDR (i am quite good but they are fine at 10.3), the F-104A/C could go to 9.7 or 10.0 and be fine.
At 9.3 they ruin 8.3 and 8.7 games as all planes in those BRs cant catch them.

I think that most tank of Italian Rank 1 are overtiered. The T-26, M2A4, M8 Lac and Tetrarch are reserves with better mobility and guns.
The AMD(SA35) should be 1.0 without the coax mg. I hate having to snipe spaa crew with so little ammo.
its probabally that noone can aim its guns, i i also think its general performance is superior to the same BR sabres, better acceleration (feels like it when fighting) tighter turn, when the guns hti they almost always kill,
The MiG-15 is an amasing plane, probabally just people not learning to get used to its admitedly hard to aim cannons, or its extreme compression in roll and rudder at high speed, learn to work around those disadvantages and you can take on anything at your own BR easily

yeah no, the T-26s mobility its probabally the worst of any reserve, and its armour is probabally worse than the AB-41, the only thing the T-26 has over the italian reserves is the cannon (The Stock API-T / HEFI-T* belt is painful, but the HVAP belt seems like it has more promise but i do not have it)

Can we expect SC2500 for other German bombers?
He 111 H-16 isn’t really greatest platform and many better bombers could carry, some even 2 of them (ju-288c)
Nah it’ll be fine. I use T-34’s at 4.0 and 4.7 all the time, and that was before jumbos and tigers BR increase. Now that they are higher up they have less to worry about.
Most vehicles will anyways, T-34’s just won’t be any different. Oh and BTW the VK has terrible turret traverse so you can just run around it to it’s sides and demolish it. :)
I personally don’t have the same opinion. I think lots of the WW2 tanks and aircraft do fine were there at. The only times that I feel like it punishes my WW2 vehicles is at like 6.3-6.7. But that’s only because you have to enter the cold war era vehicles at some point.
Your right, you can have fun at 4.0, you just actually have to think about how to play your tanks (in this case the T-34) a little bit more. And I promise if you just think before rushing in you will do just fine. As for them being rank 2, I don’t agree with that. I’d love to see the 1942 and STZ ones moved up to tank 3, but I don’t see that happening for awhile :(

I personally like the T-26, It’s one of my most played tanks, but I understand what you mean by it being bad. It’s quite slow and has no survivability.
The Italian reserves are actually the best tanks they have at rank 1.
They are just the german flakpanzer at 1.0.

what they should do is add destroying the main airfield for All BRs, you stil have the small airfield to go to, just that it will not have any AA which is a punishment for not being able to intercept a fat slow weak target which is largely defenceless, meaning that the fighters on the team can mop up the enemy fighters easier as they cannot RTB as safely (also Prop Airfield AA is better than Top tier Airfield AA, them god damn aimbot AAA gunners eing able to hit a manoevering target moving at mach 0.6-7 at 5km away while even the most heavily laden tornado can easily dodge the rolands, only the VEAKs actually shoot anythign down, and by the time they shoot the damage is already done)
epesccially when compared with the BT-5, the same BR but faster and has more armour, with the same cannon
do not the 288C, when seperate BRs come maybe, already a nightmare enough for other bombers for each 288 only being able to bomb 1 base each, let alone 2
Ozelot and Kugelblitz should go down .3 each.
Ozelot to 9.3 and Kugelblitz to 6.7.

Please for the love of God leave the Italian players something fun to fly. The AMX does not need to fight F-14s in a full uptier, if the problem is it being op in ground battles, then give it separate BRs.
The G-91 Y and YS need to go down too as there is literally no reason to play them at 9.3/9.7 when they face all aspect missiles with no flares and weak missiles.
Also why does the Italian F-104G get 2 less sidewinders than it’s German cousin?

I often get more up tiers past 10.3 than I do down tiers. Maybe because Italy, idk.

M18 GMC at 6.0 ?? What a joke, what’s next, M4A3E2 Jumbo from 5.7 up to 6.7?? BR 7.0-8.0 will soon be non-existent. Are we all supposed to play 6.7 lineup since it never changes? Tier 3 vehicles slowly becoming Tier 4, meanwhile the vehicles in Tier 4 stay where they are. Are you playing 5.7 Lineup and get constant full uptiers? It’s only going to get worse, you can already rename the Preset from “5.7” to “soon to be 6.3”.

That would be a yes and no. Reintroducing destroying the airfield would be a good way to make sure that bombers actually have a chance at affecting the game. However, id say this should be capped at 8.0-9.0. After that, there will be a lot more CAS and fighter labelled aircraft that relies on bombing to gain RP as well, eg, the removed dassault milan, Su-7, etc. This would mean only the Tu-4 in a full uptier would be affected on the other hand.
RIP USA 5.7 you will be missed.
