Planned Battle Rating changes for April 2024

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.

Id love 1970/80s ships, but god knows how they’ll balance that. Saw a Bravy 1 shot a Graf Spee the other day. Things only gunna get worse with actual anti-ship missiles

Well, when missiles get added to naval, I’d like to see all missile carrying ships move up to a BR higher than WW2, so they can only face other ships that also have missiles and or countermeasures.

Yeah, that would be the logical thing to do… So… probably not how Gaijin will handle it

I didnt word that clearly, I mean involving modern CAS. Due to how CAS attacks in a single plane and involves the player dying, they are more often than not kamikaze runs or relies on a big bomb ie FAB-5000 or HC MK1.

Ah… Yeah, attacking some ships in aircraft is practically impossible currently. Better aircraft would certainty help in that department.

Oh boi, oh oh boi, those already poor Me262 and F84B are going to face mig15 and saber, they gonna get destroy. I’m not playing other than Russia and US at 7.0-8.3 after this BR
