Mode: Tank RB
Vehicle: M1A1 HC/Clickbait
BR Change: 11.7 → 11.3
Reasoning:
The Abrams series tanks does not benefit from the strong hulls of late Leopard 2s (such as 2A7). All in all it is just a inferior Leo 2 (late).
the M829A2 is a excellent shell, but it doesn’t give that much benefits considering the weak spots are the same. It may give an edge against earlier Kontakt 5 Soviet tanks but that’s all. Maybe remove the A2 shells or something.
Vehicle: N1K1-Ja
Game mode: RB, SB
BR Change: 5.3 → 4.7
The (almost) slowest fighter at its BR. It turns quite OK, but Spitfires, Yaks do it better. On SB F4U4-B (BR 5.7) just wipes a floor with this plane. It has 4 cannons (2+2 gunpods) with only 100 bullets for each. In my opinion Bf 109 F-4 or G-2 are better planes than N1K1-Ja (much faster, comparable maneuverability, comparable firepower with gunpods), but they are placed whole 1.0 BR lower.
N1K1-Ja would be very interesting plane if we could demount gunpods. With additional ~ 20 km/h top speed and even better maneuverability it could stay at 5.3. Now it is just another aircraft which nobody plays and you very very rarely see it in battles.
The J-7D is perfectly fine at 10.7 its almost to good for the 10.7 already 4x PL-5Bs are insane for 10.7 the next plane with a similar missiles is at 11.3.
The J-7D is already dominating in a downtier to 10.0 or even 9.7. Planes without flares at 10.0 can be killed at extrem long ranges. + i has the flares and the easier to aim 25mm.
If the Br of the J-7D gets touched it should go up instead of down.
Mode: Tank RB
Vehicle: Challenger TES/OES
BR Change: 11.7 → 11.3
Reasoning:
Sad, unplayable sake of garbage that is a giant target to CAS, since it can only camp. You’d expect a tank with WW2 style HP/ton ratio to be heavily armored …it’s hull is worse armored than some WW2 tanks and is even more easily one shot.
A5C
ARB
10.7 → 10.3
It is an aircraft that does not belong to the 10.7, being inferior in almost all aspects compared to other 10.7s, 10.3 would be a better BR for it and to compensate, remove magic1 (the main reason why the A5C went up to 10.7)
Mode: Tank RB
Vehicle: Ka-50
BR Change: 11.3 → 11.0
Reasoning:
Poor optics and no thermal.
Mode: Tank RB
Vehicle: T-72B
BR Change: 10.3 → 10.0
Reasoning:
Inferior in every way to the premium T-80UD. Mobility of a WW2 tank and no thermal.
the weak spots are same across Russian tanks, so the extra armor is irrelevant
cant angle, constant weak spot of hull cheeks, worse turret traverse, large cupola design
Unfortunately most of hte 11.3s right now should be 11.7 even with 12.0 being the top tier.
If anything the T80UD should be 10.7
Vehicle: FV4005
BR: 6.3 to 6.0 RB/AB and 6.3 SB
With how poorly HESH performs, it struggles to kill any tank with spaced armor, it should be even lower in its BR.
Not gonna lie mate, the J7D should probably go back to 11.0, since they dropped the BR of it to 10.7 they absolutely stomp lobbies, especially in the downtier.
People seriously underplayed how effective the plane actually was before.
On a side note, ive seen you respond to this dude a few times, like Kfir canard to 10.3 (wild af)
and I agree with literally all you’ve said.
This is not “bit”" its not a good trade u still lacks against amything that is not heat
Vehicle : T80UD
Ground RB : 10.3 > 10.7
Its functionally a T80U with slighly worse mobility, and no thermal imager. The 3BM42 is one of the best 10.7 rounds in game and is nearly touching on DM33 levels of angled penetration.
Vehicle: ZTZ99A
BR: no changes
Other changes: reload rate changed from 7.1s(AUTO) to 6.5s(AUTO)
While other problems of the vehicle can be overcame in playing differently, the two major issues of the Chinese top tiers were a very weak breech and slow reload. This made frontline gameplay extremely diffcult as either a kill shot or a second shot would not be fired in an engagement.
While the prior one is usually not considered in BR changes, there has been instances where reloads were changed in a BR shift. They should be on the list here.
Vehicle: WZ1001 LCT

Vehicle: VT4A1
BR: no changes
Other changes: reload rate changed from 7.1s(AUTO) to 6.5s(AUTO)
See the comment above, this is to comply with the format for one vehicle per post
Yes make sanse the 8.3 m48 will have a hard time against the best 9.3
Like t64b will have a hard time against leo2a4
Or 76 jumbo against is 3
Yes it is just a bit.
HEAT is still pretty common around 8.0 - 8.3 and is a definite advantage.
Vehicle: AMX A-1A(BR)
BR: 11.3/11.0/11.0 AB/RB/SB to 11.0/10.7/10.7 AB/RB/SB
The two piranhas are not significant enough to make the A-1A to be a notch higher than the OG Italian one, which also has a vulcan.
