Did I just see AJ37 at 9.7
Now I by no means play sim a lot (quite the opposite) but I feel like adding a supersonic, TWS radar equipped, RB24J slinging flare equipped rocket might be a bad idea at 9.7.

I have never seen such lackluster br changes in my life. Jeez man, yall are blind to only looks at player stats and not use common sense…

With all the talk around the 2S38 its a bit weird that it isn’t increased to at least 10.3 (going by my calculations on comparative placement between strf9040C and HSTV-L it should be 10.7) let alone not even mentioned.
Edit:
i should say that i personally have no vendetta against it, i just saw a lot of talk and got curious and did a lot of math to compare it to its closest counterparts and put it on a BR scale from 10.0 (9040C) to 11.3 (HSTV-L) and it landed on an average of 10.76 overall and that’s not including some of things it has that is just straight up better than both of the two others.
calculations here if interested.

its literally a better Bulldog, either it goes up or the bulldog goes down, and the bulldog is alright where it is

Speaking of balance changes: if Challenger 3 (TD) is meant to feel like an actual upgrade and peak of the British tech tree, it should have a 5 second reload, just like the rest of the Challengers, Abrams tanks and others;
And speaking of Challenger 3 (TD) its whole turret damage model is WRONG (it now has the OLD Challenger 2 wrong model, copy-pasted!) even though a more appropiate one already existed before Alpha Strike. How has it been like this for a month already? Is it really that hard to revert its turret model back to its correct state (hopefully with polishments as well, particularly regarding the mantlet)?
My bug report about this enormous issue hasn’t even been addressed yet.

Speakinf of Challengers; the bug report regarding its lower front plate spall liners was made and acknowledged 3 months ago… how hard can it be to give them spall liners on the lower front plate?

I agree, but that suggestion is more on principle than anything I’d truly want to see.
The point I was hoping to make is that the two should be roughly equal. That being said, I’d prefer that the 2S38 goes up rather than HSTV-L down.

MiG-19 probably should, and both the 9.3 MiG-21s could probably do with going up. F-100 maybe, but traditionally it and the 19 were always the same BR.
Lightning maybe, but that thing is very sad with its non functioning missiles right now (can barely hit anything in the rear aspect, and the old trick of side aspect slinging just stopped working at some point)

Keep the 9.0s going to 8.7 at 9.0, move MiG-19, F-104 and Lightning to 9.7

It will be fun to fight lighter targets, and have a better lineup alongside the fox
So, I barely ever reply to anything on here but I’d just like to point out something that Gaijin seem to be ignoring or doing completely backwards lately.
For Air RB if a plane is suffering It’s not always in need of lowering. Sometimes it’s suffering because of what is ABOVE it’s battlerating.
All of these 9.0, 8.7 and 8.3 being lowered does nothing other than move the problem DOWN.
All of these jets being lowered are completely fine were they are if those few supersonic aircraft that are TOO LOW above are moved higher.
All Mig19 Variants(including the Q5’s), All F104’s, All F-100, All Lightnings… In fact all of the supersonic jets should not be lower than 9.7 or 10.0… and if the excuse is because they don’t have flares, Well… For the sake of gameplay either ADD FLARES or move whatever has all aspect missiles higher.
All aspect missiles should not be facing subsonic jets either, aircraft without flares should not be facing all aspect missiles either. Subsonic conventional fighters should not be facing supersonic jets with missiles. The gameplay is complete trash at 9.3-10.3 unless you’re downtiered. Balance should never be about being uptiered or downtiered.
In most battles you’re best off just leaving the battle if you’re uptiered and this should never be the case.
Air RB is completely over compressed and this “12.7” battle rating that was added a few months ago did nothing to alleviate this because moving a few top tier jets up did nothing to help anything below 11.3. All this did was prove how bad the compression is below 12.0.

AMX to 10.7 completely removes this from GRB. This is just not warranted, any helicopter at that BR is going to be more efficient at cas duty. What are you supposed to use the amx for then? Play at 10.7 and uptier your entire ground loadout? Or play at top tier and get slaughtered by better planes? This is an awful idea. AMX is a competent plane, there is really no reason to hit italy again where they have some solid options left.
Other nations have similar or stronger options at 10.3 or below!

T-2 has the same effectiveness.
hellcat 6.0? what? fox 7.7? what? Fox should go to 7.3

The F-15 is still at 12.3 by the way

ive never had a problem with the lightning, the Red tops just need to be fired with extreme displine, the range is awful but the 16G makes it good, the firestreak is sad as hell though, and flight performance wise its decent, just don’t be getting slow
The M64 has better armour, protecting it against machine guns and auto cannons to the hull
fox needed to go up
7.7 is pushign it 7.3 is alright
either way it actualyl moves up to a full lineup

Yeah this just feels so mean-spirited. Let italy have ONE competent ground attacker for once?!
