Air RB, Bf 109 Z, 4.7 > 4.0, or add air defense fighter spawn, or add MG 151/20 cannon modified parts.
This plane has good climb rate and speed, but this is only advantage it has. The maneuverability of this aircraft is so poor that even bombers like the B-25 are more agile than it. Although it has four MK108s as weapons, it is very difficult to use due to its poor trajectory and velocity, this gives it no advantage against any fighter at same BR unless your enemy didn’t notice your attack.
In summary, 1. this terrible airplane really needs a lower and more suitable BR to improve its experience;
or
It should have a air defence fighter spawn like Hornt Mk.III in game.
or
MG151/20 cannon modified parts should be added, so the MK108 can be replaced for better shooting experience.
Japan has no other ground vehicles at 11.7. This change essentially up-tiers every 11.3 Japanese vehicle to 11.7.
And why are other over-performing tanks such as the Begleitpanzer 57, TAM series, Gepard, and ItPsV Leopard staying at their BR? The TKX (P) dies to a Begleitpanzer when shot from the front.
I hope the people at Gaijin will one day realize that there is an issue with over-BR’ing minor nations while major nations can get away with similar performing vehicles simply due to quantity-over-quality.
Panther D
RB
5.3 → 5.7
The Panthers A and G are now at 6.0. The Panther D offers the same protection, improved mobility, but a harsh reduction in turret traverse. It should not be able to face 4.3 tanks (such as the KV-1S), many of which have no chance in a frontal engagement, which becomes even more severe at range.
VK 30.02(M)
RB
5.0 → 5.3
Although certainly weaker than a normal Panther, its firepower makes it very dangerous, and against many 4.0 and 4.3 tanks it is still far too powerful. Most 75mm and 76mm guns from 4.0-4.7 cannot reliably fight it, while its armor and firepower can easily wipe the floor with them. It should not be facing 76mm T-34s or 75mm Shermans.
Vehicle: Su39
Proposed Br: 11.3 > 11.7 (air RB)
With the current vehicle in game it is the same as the Su25TM despite being able to carry fox 1/3 missiles. My proposal is give it the r-27r missile and raise the br of the plane to create more uniqueness to the vehicle
Vehicle: Merkava Mk.1(USA)
BR: 9.0 to 9.3 in GRB/GAB/GSB
While I disagree with changes to earlier merkavas with reasons that people has mentioned, the American merkava Mk.1 was not on the list alongside other Isreali and American merkavas.
Reasoning: Just so much armor. They can even ignore many flanking vehicles by angling. At comfy 45 degrees a Sherman 75mm cannot penetrate any part of it’s side or rear.
KV-1 (ZiS-5) and KV-1 m1942 both have 10mm more penetration and slightly less armor, yet they are BR 4.7.
Yes, but I have a feeling with r-77 it would be around 12.7 which would make the vehicle worse to play, but giving it just the r27r would make it very competitive at 11.7
Change: 12.7→ 12.3 Remove the following ahistorical loadouts, as the 9.12 never carried these: R-60, R-27ER1, R-27T1. Add its historical loadout option: R-73
Reasoning:
The MiG-29 (Hungary) historically only had R-73 IR missiles and R-27R1 radar missiles with R-60MKs inherited from MiG-21s strictly for training practices. The R-60, R-27ER1 and R-27T1 are fake, ahistorical loadouts for the Hungarian 9.12 MiG-29 as these missiles were never available for the jet.
Move it to 12.3 with its historically accurate air-to-air loadout options of R-27R1 + R-73 + R-60MK missiles.
Or
Leave it at 12.7. Remove the following ahistorical loadouts, as the 9.12 never carried these: R-60, R-27ER1, R-27T1. Add its historical loadout option: R-73
Vehicle: MiG-21BISON
BR: 12.3 to 13.0
Other changes: access to two R-77-1s on inner pylons(2xR-77-1 and 2xR-73)
With the introduction of ARH capable premiums it would be reasonable to give the BISON as well. F-20A would be left for bug reporters to prove its AMRAAM capable so not gonna talk about that too much.
If anything. R-73 + R-27R is a more powerful combo than the R-60M and R-27ER for the Mig-29. Meaning if anything, its BR would be even better suited at 12.7 or maybe even higher. The loadout change should certainly be done, but a BR drop is unneeded (especially when you look at things like the F-16A at 12.3 without IRCCM missiles or the the Harrier Gr7 with IRCCM, Mig-29 with IRCCM would be far stronger than both)
