Mode: Air Simulator
Aircraft: Sea Vixen FAW Mk2
8.3 → 9.3
Fast enough to be untouchable, while boasting a search radar and decent missiles. It completely dominates 8.3 as the vehicles it faces are all outsped, and rarely have both a radar and comparable missiles. Not having any guns is not much of a downside as missiles are much easier to use, in a mode where they don’t have a big red marker telling you to start dodging.
Sure, its the same what the Devs are smoking :)
technically, its fine at 9.7 but we need to add a new 9.3 SPAA for Germany
Mode: Air Realistic Battles
Aircraft: A-7D
Change: 10.3 → 9.7
Reasoning: As a subsonic aircraft with suboptimal flight performance, it struggles to compete at its current BR. At present, it feels overtiered and burdened by outdated BR placement.
Yak-9K (ground realistic battle)
4.0 > delete from the game.
Absolutely any fight against a team with Yak-9K is a lose with absolutely no chance.
You’re not even trying to weaken it.
Fighting on 3.0-5.0 not as Soviet Union, is just UNPLAYABLE.
In each battle, two or three Yak-9ks are required, which cut out the entire enemy team with one hand, making 10-15 kills, and always one shot per kill.
Mode: Air Realistic Battles
Aircraft: A-7E
Change: 10.7 → 9.7
Reasoning: As a subsonic aircraft with suboptimal flight performance, it struggles to compete at its current BR. At present, it is overtiered and burdened by outdated BR placement.
Me-163 B-0/Ki-200 - 8.7>8.0 (and give airspawn to all Me-163/Ki-200 variants, or move to 7.7)
Since the fuel quantity nerf, they no longer have the endurance to keep up with 8.X jets. 8.7 was already too high, and I think 8.0 with an airspawn, or moving all of them to 7.7 would be the best idea.
I don’t understand the increase in BR TKX(P) and Type 81(C). There is literally no lineup for these tanks and 11.3 will be left without sensible AA and one tank where without the bonus Fuji there will be only two tanks. AMX-40 at 10.0 where there is no other vehicle bruh, and AMX-13 at 7.0 lol. Gaijin as usual hates the French and Japanese and only destroys sensible lineups to make it even not pleasant but at all playable.
Mode: Air Realistic Battles
Aircraft: A-7K
Change: 11.3 → 10.7
Reasoning: Since the BR for Air RB and Ground RB is now separated, the A-7K, which uses the same powerplant as the A-7D and A-7E and is subsonic, should be lowered to 10.7 and retain its AIM-9Ls. Currently, its flight performance hinders its ability to function as an optimal attacker in air RB.
Yeah that sounds magnificent, but Gaijin will never do that because otherwise how can they sell OP vehicles?
T32, T32E1, M103, IS-3, IS-4M, Conqueror
Reduce the reload rate by 30% or lower them by 0.3BR.
agreed
Mirage 2000D-R1 12.3 → 12.0 logical step down from the M2K CS4 and RMV
Just saw these BR changes of T-55 tanks and didnt find a proper letter to describe how War Thunder developers are careless about logic and balance and simple fun in their own game. How can you imagine equal and fair game on T-55 against TAM or XM-803? Do you even know about such vechile as CLASS 3 P which is on same 9.0 too? Do you even remember existing of this? Did you think about that even a minute of your working time?
And all of these stupid changes are happening at the same time while your server performance is dramatically bad, sound is barely playable at all. What about are you thinking of?
All of these changes make me very upset again and again and I still cant recommend your game to any except developers: it can be very good for them to playing their own game for a while and feel how it really does.
Mode: Air Realistic Battles
Aircraft: B-17E/L
Change: 5.0 → 4.7
Reasoning: Since the B-17G-60-VE is reduced to a BR of 5.0, the B-17E/L should also be lowered, as its flight performance is nearly identical to the B-17E, sharing the same powerplant and suspended armament.
Would have to see what the bracket is for 12.0 Sim but if its 12.0 to 13.0, it does not need to face Fox 3 throwers.
Mode: Air Realistic Battles
Aircraft: B-24D-25-CO
Change: 5.7 → 5.3
Reasoning: Since the B-17G-60-VE is reduced to a BR of 5.0, the B-24D-25-CO should also be lowered. Its larger profile and fragile, long wings make it an easier target for enemies, often leading to rapid destruction. Additionally, it is slower than the B-17G, further justifying a BR of 5.3.
Faster reloading Conqueror? YES PLEASE
The new 9.3 SPAA would be thw Ozelot. IR only AA isn’t good at such a high BR.
Mirage 2000D-RMV 12.7 → 12.3 logical step down from the M2KCs5 and is weaker than the M2KCs4 but still 12.7 is completely overtiered
