and Javelin FAW Mk.9
Hey Gaijin
I’ve played 57 games with M551 (76) and from my experience you couldn’t penetrate most of the frontal plates of a tank (example: IS-2), so I don’t think it should move to 7.0 because it will not be balanced. I’m saying this solely due to its penetration limitations.

I’m sorry, but it’s not the vehicle’s fault
APDS has great penetration ability, yes, but it doesn’t remove the need to “aim” completely.

You may not be able to pen the UFP, but you can still take it out from the turret. It also requires it to be a 1944 one, the earlier one is easier. Also you can just hit the LFP. But I do agree, I’m sad it’s going up. I love it so much!
Yeah
Eugen and Hipper at the same BR as Dupleix? Are you for real? They’re superior in every way. Dupleix doesn’t even have its AP shell FFS.
If you’re going to lower these two then Dupleix needs to go down to 5.3. The marginal armor improvement doesn’t warrant a BR increase over Colbert, and there’s far less of a performance gap between Colbert and Dupleix than Dupleix and Hipper/Eugen.
And thanks for worsening France’s AA situation yet again. I’m sure fighting jets with 5.7 vehicles is going to be fun at 8.3 🙄
Seriously, could you not have waited to implement anything to replace it in the 7.0 to 8.3 bracket before going ahead with this nerf?

its almost as if a heavy tank is built to resist shells
it has one of the better pens of the BR (300mm APDS) of 6.7 and nothing Bar the cent Mk.2 has a full speed stab (Cent Mk.2 has a worse Cannon and is much slower)
T-44 (164mm pen on standard APHE, 208mm on best APCR)
M26 (185mm pen on APHE, 287mm on APCR)
Tiger II (237mm pen on APHE, 279mm on APCR)
Object 248 (218mm pen on APHE)
Tortoise (256mm pen on APCBC)
Ho-Ri (P) (205mm Pen APHE)
AUBL/74 (250mm Pen HEAT)
AMX-13 (202mm pen APCBC)
In general anything that beats it in pen is HEAT munitions, which most cases only have slighter better pen
it deserves to go up

Lmao.
Yeah sherlock, light tank being unable to frontally UFP heavy tank of its BR is how it should be most of the times.

my only suggestions for this change:
A6M5 (all variants): Drop them all 0.3.
its beyond ridiculous how over tiered they all are.

Prinz Eugen back to 5.7 is nice, I used to play it quite a bit, until it got raised to 6.0 where I would mostly get stomped by battleships, now I can take up the SL grind again.
So is the Supermarine Swift F.1 going to be moved down to 8.0 since most of the planes that are better than it, are being moved to 8.3?

God knows why they made that decision. Was finally feeling more balanced with them at BR6

The Increase in BR for the M18’s is preposterous. It’s already Facing 6.7s in uptiers, and now it will get in 7.0 matches? That is absurd. It used to be 4.7. It’s really a 5.3 tank. And even at 5.7, it is at least playable. 6.0 makes no sense. The engine buff doesn’t really make a difference in it’s BR capability. Same with the Super Hellcat. There no reason for it to be at 6.7.
The most ridiculous over-BR in the US ground tree is the M26, which is at 6.7. Same BR as the Tiger 2H. And it is worse in every way, and it can’t even pen the KT frontally without APCR. It’s at the same BR as the T26E1-1 and the T26E5, it makes no sense. It should be 6.3, and T25 should be 6.0 since it has no stabilizer.
I’m using this as a rant, I apologize. But M18 should not be 6.0. It makes no sense.

Well, if thats the case, RN ships better go down one increment each. Nonexistent armor belt, no available APCBC, fighting prinz eugen with york and kents 8" SAP aint fun.

Yep, Especially since the last major update. Been finding ships like London just get shreaded by Destroyers. Not too mention light cruisers or powerful heavy cruisers like Eugen

The M551-76 will be fine at 7.0. They need to fix APDS damage TBH, without that it’s a pain anyways. But the APDS damage is bad at 6.7 and 7.0, it won’t facter into the BR change.

There are other British ships which are overtiered as well. Peacock-class should not be 4.0, but understandably they are the best OTO-Melera wielder of the BR, even able to go toe to toe with SKR-7 when jumping onto them. Terra Nova should be lower as well, it may have rapid firing HE-VT and the ability to melt coastals, but it would stand no chance against destroyers of 4.0-4.3 with fully armored turrets. It is a formidable AA but CAS in naval is generally miserable bar some specific choices.
Battle-class and J-class are fine, but I cant see how well does the tribal-class fare. They reload slower than the Fre*ch 138mm.
I havent finished the coastal line yet and not played many of the destroyers in a while. But yeah, probably does. I often find myself in the Town-Class Cruisers. But they are not that great at the moment. SAP got nerfed, and now they probably shouldnt be 5.7. Especially not those with 3 guns not 4. Would make far more reasonable 5.3s.
Though I think they really need to move all BB and BCs up 1 full BR and spread the cruisers out more. You cant fit such a range of Light and Heavy cruiers into 1 BR bracket. It just doesnt work. Probably needs 2 or 3 BRs just for Cruisers for any semblemance of balance.
Indeed. Currently the max br should be streched out to at least 8.7. 7.3+ for battleship, 5.0-7.0 for cruisers, and rest unchanged.
And yes i do want to see modern technology involved as anti-ships, would be a good way to encourage more spawns.
