Planned Battle Rating changes for April 2024

I mean I dunno if it’s malice, I genuinely hope its just an accident, but refer to the SKR-7 thread.

Oh don’t get me started on the skr-7

I better not haha
But well I know how you feel about it and you need not ask how I feel about it… man I love the Darings and all but jeez…

either i get lucky or you are unlucky, the only times low speed is a death sentence is when you are on the deck or within 50-80mph of your stall speed

In something maneuverable i can dodge a 104 all day, but if thers are 2 of them? Yikes i would just go headons and take the L
Let not also talk about the T-2.

i do not look at naval threads, maybe if they made a proper tutorial for the RB aiming system for the long ranges you actually fight at, too much of a learning curve for me to be bothered with
even then i wouldn;t play coastal, you can get to top tier there and still be massively outclassed, even with needing 320k RP for the vehicles there

I do not have access to penetration stats outside the statcards in the game, so fair enough. I did not realize they were that close.
I still want M60s to be better, though :D

They got moved down so that they wouldn’t have the face the A-10s, but now they can face 7.7 F-80s and meteors, which isn’t fair.

IDK if skill issue or whatever but I just don’t think it’s actually a very capable vehicle. Lots of handicaps to being a meta monster.

It’s not like I’m just a bad player or something.

Wait till you play the cruisers. County-class and town-class are completely out of place, SAP? Nah. Armor belts? Nah. Rate of fire, the calling card for the royal navy? Nah!

If only there’s a solution?
Behold: decompression and raise the br cap to 13.0

I think it less of a meta monster and more of an undertier vehicle, like the su11, you heard that it is op and undertierd af ( kinda is), you play the thing and it just not what ur expecting. Yes its good, but it not bmp2m at 8.7 level of good.

Yeah, an Air RB EC would save ARB a lot. Just take SIM and change it to GRB air combat

The lack of voice for British naval is worrying. British cruisers are severly underperforming, there are no viable options to fight anything with an armor belt since the first British APCBC only existed 10" onwards. The pride of the royal navy, fire rate, meant nothing if the shells cannot pen.
Town class should not be anywhere higher than 5.3, while county class should be treated the same. Britain provides not a single non-treaty cruiser and this is the time when I thought the Brits obeying promises(usually they dont) is a bad choice, while its foes usually got away with up to one thousand extra tonnes.

Thank you very much for this overview.

Imho the US WRs are above 7.3 as they should be.

Why?

Because their players suck on average way more than every other nation - and gaijin helps them way too much with heavily undertiered late war / non WW 2 combat props just to lure them in investments in high tier / top tier jets.

Seeing US jets as target market this makes sense for gaijin, but they sacrifice all other WW 2 nations (except UK as their pilots are way better on average) to facilitate those jet sales.

Clearly visible at the 5.3 - 6.3 bracket up to 6.3 - 7.3…artificially inflated by P-51 H-5 & F2G.

I’m really leaning towards 23.7+ to be honest. Endless vehicles too powerful for BR A but to weak for BR B.

Good example, obviously good engines and nice energy retention, but doesn’t pull hard and the guns are inaccurate and low ammunition. Can be really powerful in the right hands. Nothing like an F2G-1 which is powerful in just about any hands.

Yes, and so I’m not sure where he is getting the ‘US Winrate is extremely high’ from.
The playerbase of USA and their performance is reflected by the Winrates and KDs that they have. Of course, some USA aircraft and tanks are underpowered, but a lot of it comes down to how good the players are, which most new players choose either USA or USSR, and ruin their respective nation’s overall stats.

If gaijin decrease BR for fighter aircraft early 50’s early MiG-15 & MiG-17 variants (HuAF, GER & USSR), F-86A-5, F-86F-25, F-86F-30, CL-13 Mk.4, CL-13 Mk.5, J-2, J-4 and Lim-5P this month

I might hope aircraft max speed mach 0.86 & lower at rank IV ~ V and decrease BR for Air RB

  • Spitfire F Mk.24 7.0 → 6.7

I say 20.0 and rank 10 would be the hard cap for gaijin, decompressing is good but too much of it would literally increase the wait time to insane level. Also not like they can add that much stuff that 20.0+ br would be needed, heck maybe this game will never see gen 5 or they might start adding ace combat stuff.
