this can be equally said for all gamemodes.
Apparently it costs them an arm and a leg to move numbers around, so we only get it once a year.
It is not the same weaponry, the VT1 is way better than the Roland 3
bring the f4-f early down to 10.3 so it doesnt face mig23mls with no flares

Much better thrust at lower speeds, which means it maintains its energy in turns very well. But to get the most out of it, you need to learn to VIFF. Pushing the nozzles to 15-30% to maximise turn performance

The 4030 has worse armor than the Challenger Mk2.
Look at my above arguments, it should lose its APFSDS (as its Ahistorical for it to even have it) Get the Chieftains 8 second reload, Due to the fact the Challengers lap loading training hadn’t been developed yet, and stay at 9.7, or maybe even go down to 9.3.
how is it worse armor? identical frontal hull & turret armor atleast.
they weigh the same too. same engine, same transmission, etc.
the only difference is the round and no worthles gen1 thermals.
atleast ingame.
Maybe its cause I’m a bit loopy rn but this feels like yet another fu to armor lovers. At least the T-55s ready rack isnt in the turret ring so that former 8.3 has half a chance of tanking expected fire unlike the Dalet
more like a french kiss for all 7.7 armor lovers. less 8.7 vacuum is better for every nation
Most of these changes are good except the Obj. 435, T-55M, Strv 103C, and Ikv 91-105 are not 9.0 material, especially the latter two, they’re quite bad at 8.7 as it is.
This time only one change stands out to me as positively insane, the XM800T to 8.3, it was already a noob trap at 8.0 and battles at this BR are already decided by how many windowlickers spawn one and get instantly obliterated. How Gaijin looked at anything with only an Rh202 for armament and thought “yes, this clearly is more combat effective than a T32 or M60, maybe about the level of an M60A1 AOS” is inconceivable to me.

XM800T is very good. its a nuke machine, but its not friendly for noobs i agree with that one.
gaijin didnt decide it was going to be 8.3. it was 7.7 at first, remember? it goes up, because it performs well.

How is the AMX-40 going to 10.0 good? France has literally no other 10.0 ground vehicles.

Yes, A-5C could be dropped.

Mode: Air Realistic Battles
Aircraft: Kfir Canard (Israel)
Change: 11.0 → 10.7
Reasoning: Has 9.7 missiles (similar to 9P that T-2 and same as 9Gs AV-8C gets) at 11.0. Useless “radar”, DEFA worse than 20mm miniguns, low CMs and forced 2-drop

Why is Ef going to 13.0 when he doesn’t have any fire and forget weapons?
Theoretically yes.
But it is weaker.
A Shell that won’t penetrate the Challenger Mk2, will go through the 4030 Like butter.
M735 can’t penetrate the Challenger Mk2 anywhere frontally, but it can go through the hull front of the 4030 like butter, and even through the thinner composite on the turret front around the gun no problem, when it can’t on the Challenger Mk2.
The Challenger Mk2 can also pretty easily tank 3BM-42, the 4030 can’t.
Mode: Ground Realistic Battles
Vehicle: AMX-30 S DCA
Change: 8.7->8.3 (Removal of APDS if applicable)
Reasoning: The AMX 30 S DCA was moved up mostly due to its anti-armour capability, however as an SPAA it is lack luster compared to most radar SPAA such as Geopard (8.3) and ZA-35 (8.3), it is un-stablized, radar is terrible and inaccurate, and lacks IRST, it could not match the performance of any other radar SPAA in both up-tier or down-tier environments. If the APDS (thus its anti-armour) capability is what drives it up, i suggest to remove it and put it back down to where it was and belonged and could perform SPAA duty in the original 8.3 line up, which currently lacks a SPAA.
Currently, according to statshark, it has less cumulative air kills compared to ground kills, which speaks some truth on this matter.

can we PLEASE get flares on the F104G in the Chinese tech tree and the F104J in the Japanese tree, they suffer to the point of being completely unflyable thanks to the all aspect missiles they constantly have to face.
