Planned Battle Rating changes for April 2024

Or they can fix SRAAM

They should have 1.8km range, not 800m.

They should have all-aspect, or at the very least, very decent side aspect ability

They should actually work within 500m of the target, but dont due to TVC issues

All of these have been bug reported and passed to the devs. SRAAM overhaul was rumoured more than a year ago, but nothing since.

I personally like SRAAM, and really want more aircraft with them, like a BAE Hawk. But they are just underperforming and combined with compression, they see aircraft they should not be seeing, especially those with all-aspect missiles.

try VIFFing. Angling the vector of the thrust to give better turn. I do think it needs to be lower for now, but less due to the SRAAM or flight performance and more due to the lack of CMs

That’s just a lie. I outright said after that very quote that the Fireflies in a downtier are nothing incredible.

Edit: Since you edited your comment with a new paragraph, I’ll edit mine as well, with a simple answer: The Fireflies do not dominate or bully any of the BRs you mentioned.

Add AH-1W swapping places with A-129 and G-Lynx, it only gets maximum 2xAIM-9L that REPLACE the AGM-114s, which the A-129 and G-lynx can carry along with missiles…

What about the promised spall liners in the Ariete a few weeks back. And what ever happened to the massive bug report regarding the Arietes armor that was accepted but the only thing that happened is that our armor wasn’t fixed and we became 3 tons heavier for no reason. The arietes are pure pain at top tier, do you really think the Ariete amv is equal in power to the leopard 2a7. The leopard 2a7 has armor, great firepower, spall liners, and many more things that the Ariete doesn’t while being at the same br. Please just compare the vehicles, the ariete has nothing better then the other mbt’s it has zero armor, mediocre firepower, and terrible mobility now. And that makes it so new players don’t think about grinding Italy because they look at the top tier tanks and they realize they are so bad, please just look over the vehicles and realize how bad the ariete is at its current br. And just because the win rates might be acceptable, the reason for that is because the only people who play Italy are skilled players and no average players play Italy because their tanks are so bad. Please just look it over-and realize how bad the ariete is compared to the other mbt’s at that br.

MiG-17PF is same plane as Lim-5P btw

Not even possibly. M900 would make it a better IPM1 and should mean an instant BR increase to 11.3.

It was just promised to the wind.

I know. Listing them seperately was intentional because they have different names.

I would suggest R2Y2s going 7.7 o:

I think these have the same performance as Me 262, if not worse. I have these 3 planes, but they definitely are not 8.0 planes, at least, definitely not made to face anything with air to air guided missiles. They have no radar, no warning system. Not that I complain, in the end, I don’t think these three have place anywhere, but it would be nice, if these three got some love from Gaijin c:

Agreed. The changes to Sabres, MiG-15s, and MiG-17s should NOT be implemented.

This would make starter jets unplayable/unwinnable. It would also seriously disadvantage British, Italian, French, and Swedish jets in the 8.3-9.3 BR range that would face more uptiers.

As many have mentioned, the problem here is the compression of jets from 9.3 and above downward into the Korean-era jets. Keep Sabres/MiG-15s as they are and move supersonics UP!

It can’t be due to the HP change, as m-18s which didn’t get it are also going up.

Yeah, but the armor can be trolly sometimes. Plus it’s cannon can also pen most, if not everything at it’s BR. It can UFP a Sherman, PZ4 and can pen the sides of every heavy tank it could see them, and even now when up tiered to 5.0. Oh and if you don’t believe me, I can use the same gun in the German one at 4.3 and do just fine. Andddd on top of all that, it’s not like it’s not the only one going up in BR. All the 76 ones are, except the 1940, and so it won’t be alone :) oh and just wait until you play the STZ one, same gun plus extra armor. And I don’t see that going up to 4.3 like the German one

RB:

G:
Sd.Kfz.234/2 → keep at 3.3. No survivability and weak cannon for 3.7.
M18 and M64 → keep at 5.7. It’s perfectly balanced there. It doesn’t need to go up.

A:
MiG-15 → keep at 8.3. Can’t go to 8.0, are you crazy?
Mig-15BIS → keep at 8.7. You already moved it from 8.3 to 8.7 because it was murdering everything. At 8.3 I felt like a god playing it.
In fact, looking at all the ARB changes → bad. Stop compressing. You need to expand BR!!!

Both are positioned just right at 9.0.

The only Sabre that is worth adjusting is taking the CL-13 Mk.6 down to 9.0.

F-86A, all F-86Fs, CL-15, MiG-15, MiG-15bis, MiG-15bis ISH, MiG-17, MiG-17PF, Lim-5 should all STAY PUT.

F-16 A mlu(China)12.0>12.3

In reality,the F-16A mlu which served for ROCAF
has the ability to lunch AIM9M instead AIM9L
(Because it was sent to Taiwan only with AIM9M instead of AIM9l)
And it also has the ability to carry LANTIRN 2, AGM65G and GBUs,

Option B is the only way, the 2S38 doesn’t deserve that low of a BR and introducing the HSTV-L at 10.0 wouldn’t make things anything any better.

M18 HP/tonne went from 22.6 to 25.99, which is a VERY large difference.

In my opinion, moving to 6.0 is fine, but ONLY if they fix (unnerf) the APCR to have historical 230 mm pen, and to fix M18’s top speeds to 96 km/h and -32 km/h.

The German T-34 also has a stronger turret with a faster reload and improved hull armor, as it is a combination of the T-34 (1942) with the T-34E STZ, which are the 4.0 T-34s.

So the T-34 (1942) gets the stronger turret with faster reload, the T-34E STZ gets the big hull armor improvement, and the T-34 (1941) gets neither. It just ends up being worse.

That’s very true.

This change is so dumb tbh

move both to 9.3 and give the F-104C the extra AIM-9Bs, just like all the foldered straight up grades at the same BR (Spit 14 → 17, Cheiftain 3 → 5, T-34('42) T-34E, Pz 4 F2 → G, Pz 4 E → F1, B-57A → B and so on)
