Planned Battle Rating changes for April 2024

Before I forget it:

Air RB

Put the BB-1 from 1.3 to 1.7 or even 2.0
It’s way too strong as a Strike Aircraft. It can carry an insane amount of ordanance for 1.3 while also having good flight performance and better firepower than most fighters.

Its not the fact they are ignoring it, its more the fact you dont see those ifvs as nearly as much and they are not nearly as good, i was spading out my chally 1 mk 3 today, and i think i saw one swede ifv which i promptly nailed to the side of the cross, but every game i would see the 2s38 and normally it was more than one.

The two vehicles are not really comparable though, as the 2s38 is significantly more survivable, that front fuel tank sometimes eats shells and there is nothing in the turret, unlike the 90s. The 2s38 also has aphe with 151mm of pen on the flat on a 57mm gun, along with better penning APFSDS than any of the 90s, the only 90 with a good apfsds shell has 170/143/93mm of pen on the flat at point blank, to the 225/190/130mm of the 2s38, which is the difference of front plating and turret ringing alot of people, as i cant get front penned by the swedes, of which only on has the good shell, where as the 2s38 can do it easily.

What you have listed there is two different vehicles each having their own strength, one has radar but the weak dart round, the other has the good dart round and no radar. They all have a fuse shell, but that is standard fair for any ifv with a 40mm or larger gun.

Something you would know if you had ever actually played any of them

I think the issue with that is us waiting for the seperation of air and ground br’s for planes, as there are alot of really strong revenge bombers that are all now hovering at br 2.7 or below XD

Well, the BB-1s BR is too low for both air and ground battles.

It’s just way too good for 1.3 compared to any other aircraft of its type.

AGS need m900 and maybe go to 11.3
shenyang f-5 need to go 9.0
2s38 and obj292 both go to 10.3
G91Y go to 8.7
G91YS go to 9.0
this two plane can’t even supersonic why they have so much high BR
And why AMX go to 10.7? any reason? cuz GBU?
so you want a subsonic plane against f-14 or other gen 3 plane ?
GAIJIN that’s why Italy has only 1% player to play
GUESS NO ONE CARES ABOUT ITALY

its on par, most trees have a strong attacker at that br

Umm I may be wrong, but I’m pretty sure that the only difference between the prem and TT versions of regular m18 is the muzzle break, which is mostly cosmetic…

and the later ones have 460HP rather than 400 on teh Black cat, this was a buff in the last week though

The Vampire Yes, the venom was suprisingly enjoyable, main problem is the Hispanos being lacking at that BR

This would be a very positive change, we can avoid players who only go for the most broken vehicles and dilute the skill levels of top tier AMI players with their ass F104S grind.

Huh, okay. I didn’t realize this happened

as someone who played the hellcat religiously back in the day the prem one and the normal m18 are identical bar a few cosmetic changes , and of course that premium bonus

Oh yeah? On par with what? With a Stuka that flies like a boat? Or a Japanese plane that carries 250-500kg bombs instead of 1200kg?

so theres the Ju-87R-2, SB2U-2, SB2U-3, V156, Wirraway, B5N2, D3A1, V-11, Ba…65, B17B

None of these are better than the BB-1

Hell the Su-2s are are equivalent and at from 1.7-2.7, with the MV-5 being the most similar

Sb2u, tbf-1c, ju-87 r2, v-156, wirraway, b6n1, v-11, hawk III, ba.65, b-17

all are very solid ground attackers and some are better than the bb-1

yeah no

Only the TBF has a chance with the 50 cals and the 2000lb, or the SB2U-3, both of which are 1.7 and at best sidegrades to BB-1

basically all the things listed are a side grade, because they are the nations equivilents, the su-2s just dont move in br due to the fact no one plays them, a common curse for foldered vehicles and their balancing methods at gaijin that use the algorithm.

in terms of payload/ armament/ speed the v-156 is better in every way except speed, so no i can confidently say there is nothing special about the bb-1 coming from someone who has played all the low level attackers that i just listed, in truth they are mostly samey and blend into one with the exception of the stuka and the b6n, one for its fat bomb and the ability to out turn everything if you know a few tricks, and the other because it flies like a fighter

It would indeed. It’s why I’m a tad on the fence about Harrier Gr1 and Hunter F6 balance. Because the difference between what they are like Vs what they should be like is so huge

they are nowhere near all sidegrades, they are all inferior, none fo them have a millimetre accurate bombsight attached to 2 500kg bombs, and the fact its not too bad at manoeveing and not that slow for 1.3, with an excellent turret gunner

The Leo 40/70 has essentially zero armor for most of the crew, what do you mean?
