Planned Battle Rating changes for April 2024

I’d love to see the F-16A MLU be introduced with better ordinances in return for a BR of 12.3.

M551(76): 7.0-7.0
but do pls give a HEATFS ok? How the hell this using merely a APDS and against those 7.7 heavy tanks

J-5(Export): 9.3-9.0
All Mig 17 PFs gone to 8.7 and why this being exceptional? Plus where is Mig 17 AS?

Type 16( FPS): 9.3-9.7 with Type 93 APFSDS added
Never on Earth a vehicle built in 2016 can’t get APFSDS which was in 1993. Pls tell me why this still using M735 APFSDS, JGSDF received M735 only since 1984 and after 1993 they already started using Type 93 APFSDS. And how could a 2016’s vehicle still using a 1984 APFSDS?

Aim9M have no business fighting 11.3 planes with 30 countermeasures.
Any F-16 with Aim9M should automatically move to 12.7. Especially since the A are the most agile versions, even with a weaker radar they would compete directly with the Gripen.

It goes for the F-15 of course, they all need to move to 12.7.

I totally agree!

To be more precise, the point I was trying to make with Option A is how the two shouldn’t so different in BR as they currently are. That being said, I think it’s better for 2S38 to go up to HSTV-L, rather than the HSTV-L coming down.

Marder A1 should also go 8.0 with SPz BMP-1, their effectiveness are similar (20mm better in CQB and AA, 73mm better with hard targets, and both missiles good with hard targets )

Pbv 501 also moves up in RB, probably to 7.0 or 7.3, its maneuverability is too good for the WWII tanks in 6.7

GROUND - MY PROPOSAL FOR VEHICLES NOT IN THE SPREADSHEET

2S25M - 10,0 to 10,7 and increase vertical targeting to NATO caunterparts
This vehicle is perfect “glass cannon” (good themals, drone, excelent gun, but non existent armour without LWS or IRCM) but the vertical targeting is extremly anoying while playing on hilly terrain and get me killed often. Addition of 3BM60 was also overkill for this vehicle at 10,0 and doesnt really change anything.

T-62 - 8,7 to 8,3:
I see no difference between T-55A and T-62 expect for T-55A having 12,7mm, which makes it a better vehicle. Although T-62 has 115mm gun, i cannot really see meaningful damage or penetration differece compared to 100mm on T-55A

Comet - 5,3 to 4,7 or lower the base relload from 9,6 to 8,5s (preferable option):
Comet has really long realload and it is getting outrelloaded basically by every 75,85 and 88mm gun. That woudnt be that bad, but the problem is that your penetration is not that good and you have that fatal flaw of -3 kph, which will get you killed unless you disable firing capabilities of enemy vehicle.You also have irelevant armour againist anything better then M61 APHE (104mm pen APHE on M4). One of the worst medium tanks at this BR.

Marder1A1 - 7,7 to 8,0
Same reason as BMP-1 is going up (propably). I hate facing ATGMs in late WW2 vehicles without stabiliser. It has worse main gun againist ground vehicles, but significantly better air to air capabilities.

AIR - MY PROPOSAL NOT IN THE SPREADSHEET
F-5C and F-5A (USA) - 10,3 to 10,7 and add AIM-9J or remove flares and move it to 10,0 (there are comments about it above mine)
Very good flight performance, decent guns, engines are cooler then most of the planes - side aspect locks with rear aspect missiles are not really possible. TLDR it is excelent dogfighter in quick engagements with flares which is perfect for rank 6/7 premium meta.

F-5E - 10,7 to 11,0
Same reasson as for F-5C. It is just better version of it (stronger engines) and missiles.

GROUND- MY PROPOSAL FOR CHANGES WHICH ARE IN SPREADSHEET
BTR-ZD, BRT-152D, ZSD63 please can you explain why are these vehicles going up? BTR-152 will be 0,7 higer then ostwind, which has 37mm APHE round, and better platform (aka Panzer IV hull with better protected turret). Sure, against planes it has worse hit propabiity then armoured car with 14,5mm MGs, but it survives much more enemy fire and it is better against tanks.

T-34 - I agree it is strong vehicle, but also move all Panzer IVs with long 75mm up by 0,3, these guns are insanely strong.

AIR- MY PROPOSAL FOR CHANGES WHICH ARE IN SPREADSHEET
Unfortunately i disagree with EVERY SINGLE of proposed changes expect for Mirage IIIC
Mig-15s, F-86s and its derivates will decimate early jets BR bracket. Mig-17, Q-5A are similar situation. AJS37 will be very strong at 10,7 with OK flight performance and 4 AIM-9Ls. PB4Y has a lot of gunners and it is fine at 5,0, look at some of the british bombers with 7,7mm turrets instead…

Honestly i feel like Tiger 2H should be 7.0 and M26 6.3 atleast
Also another addition is HSTVL to 11.0 and T80ud 10.3 atleast

Fully agree.

M26 doesn’t deserve to sit at 6.7 BR where it is dwarfed by numerous heavy tanks that outclass it.

T26E5 and T34 for example. Especially the E5, as it is functionally a straight upgrade from M26.

AMX to 10.7? Now the most fun-to-play Italian line up shall be gone.

So does the US 5.7 and Chinese 5.7.

Interestingly, the only way to play a full-line-up hellcat will be to buy a Tigris and play the italian hellcat at 6.0

Yeah it’s frankly pretty ridiculous. They introduce a new attacker at a viable BR range, then nerf it just when everyone’s had enough time to grind it…

HE IS THE MESSIAh!

Batchat must be at 6.7

Uh oh someone hasn’t flown yhe AJS thats 4 9ls if you dont take any counter measures. Also the mirage IIIC going to 10.0 and the AJ 37 staying 10.3 is ridiculous when comparing their air to air abilities and flight performance. Also no guns for the AJS if you take the other 2 9L’s, same 2 pylons are shared between gunpods, countermeasure pods, and 9L’s

How the amx 30 dca can be 8.7 ??

VIFFing is largely useless in my experience, to me its an extra stage to flaps, in my around 1200 games in differnent harriers ive never noticed any real improvement in turn from VIFFing if anything it just slows you down and makes overshoots easier, honestly would be good if they made rear aspect missiles lose lock when VIFFing, at the moment VIFFing makes even the AIM-9B all aspect

the SRAAM is extremely pontent if fired in range, (i have a clip where it pulled a 180 turn off the rail and killed an Su-25 in the Hunter F.6), the lack of countermeasures is a big hit but the SRAAM is a perfect flare in a headon and you can outrun anything that has all aspects at the BRs you see and flying into the sun nullifes practially any AAM launch and with the Harrier P/W and accleration its not too difficult to accelerate toward the sun

Jagdpanzer IV: 4.3 to 4.7.
It’s the best casemate tank destroyer in the game 2nd to none for the BR it currently is.

WHY GAIJIN WHY Prinz Eugen and Hipper back to 5.7???
you kill the 4.7 BR.

Yeah, that was an IRL tactic, but missiles lock onto the engine and not exhaust, that is why the F-5C is far colder than the Harrier. Even when on full reheat.

So many balance issues could be fixed if they modeled IR signatures realistically
