I would like to add that the STRV 103C should not be increased in BR, at its own BR now it gets one shoted by everything and most people don’t even play it. Increasing its BR would be a turn off for people that wants to research it. Since the Maps in WT are getting smaller and smaller the tank it’s kind of losing its purpose, that is sniping.
They have SEP only truly contested by the Bf109F4 and spitfires. Under 1km, yak-3 and zeros catch up. Over 4km, they dominate 4.0 and below.
They have not great, but still competetive roll and instantenous turn.
They’re more than viable as ground-spawn aircraft. They’ll still be able to climb to their perch and do energy fighting/energy traps.
Now, prop efficiency does make raw p/w calculations less reliable. However, two props have an easier time generating thrust than one prop of the same design (common issue of losing prop efficiency is the propeller blades “stalling” - too much engine power, not enough blade diameter and making the prop pitch any finer would over-rev the engine. This is very visible in late-war Bf109s due under 200 km/h (60% vs 70% prop pitch lead to 600 more kgf thrust, and pushing it to 75% kills the engine.)
Not as much like tanks with no stabilizer and ap shells against t55
From these only XM800T and Type 87 have it but they don’t have thermals, they cap better, this one spot better.
As for acceleration I would suggest to get tech specs and make bug report because yes its almost 20 tons heavy but BTR with 14 tons and 100hp less is much more agile, I would assume that Germans know how to build a gearbox and make decent drive transmission.
XM-800T
GAB: 7.7>8.0
GRB: 8.0>8.7 but give it its laser range finder
AMX 13 7.0 > AMX 13 6.7 (Realistic). I mean… I don’t even know what to say. I mean it can be awsome, but in average it’s not performing any better than, let’s say: m18 at 6.0. Just the same can be good, just very inconsistent. Plus no reverse speed and no .50 cal : <
+1 on this.
wouldnt really be a nerf for it as theres so many afvs it would nuke instantly
Why is Q-5A an Q-5L moving to 10.0 in Air RB ? bruh
laser doesnt really make a difference with the 20mm. it historically wasnt equipped with one either.
it being 8.7 together with bmp-2 would not make sense.
because 9 pops of countermeasures, no missiles and 23mm water guns with low ammo count are a op combination. -gaijin
It’s too strong for 9.7, and France’s other 9.7 vehicles aren’t, that’s all there is to it.
Kurnass 2000 is 12.3 with 6 pythons…
The AMX-40 basically has no armor, and aside from its mobility, it’s not particularly strong compared to other 9.7 vehicles. If it’s just because of the 20mm autocannon, then the AMX-32 and AMX-32 (105) should all be moved to 9.7 or even 10.0 as well—after all, they’re pretty much the same. But if that happens, no one would want to play France anymore. Would that really be better?
While also having more CMs
it make sense because it can now munch through mbt and ofc ifv and light tank
still a bit of a joke the Kurnass 2K is at that br lol
Mode: Air Realistic Battles
Aircraft: F-4F (Germany)
Change: 11.0 → 10.7
Reasoning: Relative Effectiveness of AIM-9J at 11.0: While the AIM-9J is a significant improvement over earlier Sidewinder models, it is still outmatched by the missiles frequently encountered at BR 11.0. It is less effective against modern countermeasures (chaff, flares) and possesses a shorter range than missiles like the AIM-9L, R-60M, Magic 2
Lack of Beyond-Visual-Range (BVR) Capability: This argument remains unchanged. The F-4F lacks any capability to engage targets beyond visual range. This puts it at a distinct disadvantage against aircraft equipped with BVR missiles, forcing it to close to within visual range where its flight performance may be lacking.
its top tier mbt mobility with 9.3 firepower at 9.7. if it was classified as a light tank it would be 10.0 already and pushing 10.3.
Hmmm still no justice for german F-104 and german F-4F They are both on 11.0, and it’s so fun to play against planes with all-angle rockets and radar rockets while having just AIM-9J. This is such a disaster.
it would not fall off really even at 12.0. why not put it up there?
its one of those vehicles that can be uptiered infinitely and it wont suffer.
