Mode: Simulator Battles
Vehicle: F-16A ADF
BR Change: 13.0 → 12.7
Reasoning:
This aircraft has only two SARH missiles, and AIM-9L’s (not M’s). This variant of the viper is in no way comparable to F3 slingers at 13.0 like the Kfir C.10, JA37DI, F-4F KWS LV, and AV-8B Plus. Heck, armament wise, it’s closer to the F/A-18A.
Yes, I’m referring to the IDS not the ADV and 104S not ASA, as those are much more capable in A2A ordinance. The IDS might not be an ideal baseline for the FGR2 as it’s an attacker, but the 104S and S TAF are both fighters that should be balanced accordingly, and both are already outshined by almost every other fighter at their BR, let alone if the FGR2 had Aim-9Ls to boot. I think decompression would obviously help this whole BR range but one can only wish lol
A suggestion that you should certainly consider:
The suggestion is based on information from its testing, and on the fact in its current state is not a very competitive medium tank, with terrible acceleration, mediocre armor and bad gun handling, also very constrained by its first-stage ammo, which most of the time leaves it with bad reload.
One last suggestion
Spitfire mk22
move down to 6.3
It currently has ZERO purpose other than being a worse vehicle to unlock the mk24 at the same BR
having it as 6.3 for its worse performance will make it worth using after the mk24 is unlocked
Air RB:
German IDS-Tornado
11.7>11.3
Reason:
It brings no advantage over the WTD or Marineflieger Tornado, yet is higher ranked in air than them.
Again, im not sure why an 11.3 aircraft is relevant to 12.0 aircraft, especially when there are far stronger 12.0 aircraft already there. Like the ADV, F-4S and to a degree the Mirage F1
Very much agreed, the ASA needs to be 11.3 and the S and S TAF need to be 11.0
Literally not what i said at all. I was saying the AMX-30B2s were overtiered. interesting.
Even without AHEAD it should be a higher BR than the gepard. it gets better penetrating rounds, a laser rangefinder, thermals, IRST and even adjustable suspension. I think with AHEAD it should probably be 9.0.
mig 29 with no r27er and added r73?
It has the same guns? Again the issue is it leaves the 8.3 lineup with nothing.
The sheer amount of bias in these suggestions…
But different and better ammo across the board. it’s also faster than the gepard with 21.1hp/ton compared to the gepards 18 and the aforementioned adjustable suspension. there is no way they should both be 8.3, even with AHEAD removed.
M1 Abrams
Mode: Ground RB / Ground AB
BR change: None.
Give the original Abrams the M833 round, the M774 pen and damage its pretty subpar to its peers at 10.7. Yes, the tank did use it. Besides there isn’t much difference in game between M774 and M833.
Nah, firstly the game shouldn’t jump that much rn, but also you’re forgetting a lot of airframes, like all of japan, which makes sense since this is a really big change and not something that would even be considered from a suggestion in a seasonal BR change.
Mode: Air Realistic Battles
Aircraft: BI
Change: 6.7 → 7.3
There is literally nothing props can do vs this aircraft. It is blatantly overpowered and should not be facing props at all.
Agreed, facing it in a Mig-21 while it being superior in almost every way is nuts
Are there any plans to look at the Ground BR ratings of the Japanese Air tree? The only reason I can think that the F-4EJ Kai is still 11.3 is because there is a plan to give it Mavericks, or that with the release of the F-2, it will be receiving ASM-2 which has a secondary anti-ground function, I believe. The fact that its supersonic, has a PD radar, and AIM-9L isn’t much of an upgrade in GRB over the 12.0 Phantoms that get to be 10.7. I could see an argument maybe if it also got AAM-3, 3 but the fact that F-5s with AGMs get to be 11.0 is a bit silly lol
I also feel that since the F-1 losts its computers does it really need to be at 10.0 in ground battles? Alpha Jets have computers, countermeasures, and some have better missiles and they’re 9.7.
Mode: Realistic Air Battles
Vehicle: Tornado IDS ASSTA1
BR: 11.7 > 11.3 (or 11.7 with AIM-L/i)
Reason:
Currently, the Tornado IDS is overtiered, with its anemic flight model, weak weaponry and air-to-air missiles, it faces threats which has no counter to and full uptiers are brutal. Its play style is no different from its premium counterpart, the WTD61, which sits at 11.3. Alternatively, the Tornado IDS could also receive AIM-L/i which historically uses and stay at 11.7.
The F-1 would also potentially get the same GCS-1 Guided bomb as the EJ Kai and F-2, if we’re talking about potentials from introduction of stuff next patch if anything it would move up.
