Planned Battle Rating changes for April 2024

Spitfires would meme on the early Mig-15.
7.7s are facing other 7.7s, with other BRs sprinkled in.
7.7BR range is fine, though the P51H5NA could finally go to 6.7 where it belongs.

I honestly cannot wait to play more 7.7 and 8.0 after this change, this’ll finally revitalize the BR range.

its going to be me spading the dozen sabres and migs i have left clubbing meteors and other lesser planes, its not really a revitalization when its just moving two planes down so they can club to no end.

What club? Nothing changes except they don’t face 9.7s. Cause 7.3 isn’t popular enough to cause up-tiers if you play 7.3.

Issue is it really isnt fine at 9.0.

1A5 is massive upgrade to its playstyle with laser range finder and thermals and better round, and it sits just 0.3 higher.

On the other hand, much more mobile TAM with same firepower as A1A1 with laser range finder sits at 8.7. Only real advantage A1A1 has over TAM is that leo cant be 50caled to death from side.

You can mae obsecenely powerful 9.7 GER lineup that is entirely capable fighting in the 10.0/10.3 blackhole and is even fine handling the occasional 10.7 game, tho lack of full 10.7 lineups make this full uptier rare.

Or you can make powerful 8.7 lineup, which is also quite potent for its range.

A1A1 doesnt fit any of those. I wont be uptiering 8.7 lineup for incredibly mid leo, and I wont be bringing such tank with weak ammo and mobility (when compared to other 9.3/9.7 choices) to 9.3/9.7 when there are multiple vehicles.

Id agree and thats the reason i really dont think a 76mm Jumbo at 5.7 would be fair, given how i can bully tigers in the 75mm jumbo.

We must be playing different games entirely then, as nearly every game at 7.3/7.7 is at br or 8.0/3 due to it being the br with people breaking in their first jets. your looking at this from a completely wrong angle, as your thinking nice now my sabres and migs are not fighting f104s, but failing to realize now people in their p-80’s, mig-9s, f9fs and meteors etc are now like… Crud now i am fighting sabres and migs every game instead of fighting the first ones every 2 or 3 games. The logical answer is to just raise the brs of the 104s and other 9.7 jets and push the top tier of jets up a notch in br by .3. Let me make a collage of all the commonly encountered planes that are now buggered by this.

see affixed collage now

you cant look at that and say its not popular, these are the starter jets and you see a good chunk of them near on every game at the br, though some are admittedly much more popular than others

I think that there is no reason for the T-34(1941) to move to 4.0, reason being that at 4.0 in the USSR tech tree we already have variants of the T-34 that are objectively better; like the T-34(1942), T-34 STZ and T-34E. These vehicles have the same firepower and very comparable mobility while having better armor. These vehicles are well balanced at where they are while the 1941 model won’t be used as it is simply outclassed for 4.0. Another Issue is that this ruins the Swedish 3.7 lineup leaving it with only one tech tree vehicle for no real balancing reasons as this leaves them with no better options for an all round medium tank (an issue that USSR doesn’t have)

Thank you for reading :)

All for RB

  1. AH-1W (USA&CN) 10.7 > 10.3 should be the same BR as G-LYNX and T129, cuz they have same capabilies
  2. Mi-35M 10.7 > 10.3 same capabilities as G-Lynx and T129 but sligtly better zoom and less max distance on AGM’s 6km vs 8km on hellfires
  3. Israeli AH-60 11.3 > 11.7 or even 12.0 . It has no place to be on 11.3 with 16 Spike ER missiles while all of competition with similar missiles are on 11.7 with 8 missiles vs 16 on AH-60

LOL, if the AMX-30 DCA goes to 8.7, then that means all these vehicles must go 8.7 too by their logic :

  • Gepard
  • Chieftain marksman
  • ZA-35
  • type 87
  • PGZ09

no reason only for the AMX-30 DCA to go up in br alone, why is it so targeted against france each time ?

its the same with the EBRs

  • 5.3 > 4.3 E.B.R. (1951) = a 3.3 tank equal to a Tiger H1 ?
  • 6.7 > 5.7 E.B.R. (1954) = why is this thing at 6.7 ? it faces so many things it cant do anything
  • 7.7 > 7.0 E.B.R. (1963) / AML-90 = like the AML-90 , being at 7.0 would be fair like the israel AML-90 at 7.0

now let me ask you this, when was the last time you saw any EBR in games ?, is it quite often ?

Ah, thats why the F-4F has a higher BR in SB lul

mid tier 8.0 needs decompression, T-54’s and other heavies are suffering.

Sure buddy I also care about my virtual penis (stats) size.

Its a fact 2S38 should go up. Cope/cry/seethe/mald, dont care didnt ask, russian main.

2s38 to 10.7

This needs to be done

Honestly its on par with the hstvl, it could go to 11.3 any day and still preform identically to it is now

Pen values of 2s38 sit in the middle while compared with 9040c and HTSTVL so that’s why I said that it should be 10.7 but if it goes even higher, I won’t have any problems with that

While I get Spitties are absolutely fantastic (I know, incredible British engineering) I do somewhat feel that the MiG-15 will have no real problems printing a metric ass tonne of energy to “counter” the Spit.

unless the mig has no idea what they are doing the spit will lose everytime.

aye the pen is the only short fall, but its more than enough to turret ring, breech and devestate any tank it sees from the side

teh sim BRs are fucked anyway, it makes no sense for it to be a higher BR than the FGR, probabally a gaijin moment where they forgot to move it down with other phantoms and never rectified it

The La-200 might be okay… and maybe the airspawn F-84s… but that’s kinda it. I remember when bringing a J29 i’d do a nice climb pattern that’d give me a decent amount of energy… and then some MiG-15 who was a good 5,000ft higher than me would ruin my game by forcing me defensive and force me down… what made it worse was there wasn’t really a counterplay to it. They were faster, so you couldn’t run away. They could retain their energy better, so they’d only ever lose if they tried to take a rolling fight with you… which is risky in itself…
