At this point just move the Tkx(p) to 12.0 and give it Type 10. Then it can be a proper part of the top tier lineup instead of sitting alone at 11.7

Either that or let Japan keep it’s lineup at 11.3 by not changing the Tkx(p) and type 81c

With the introduction of 14.0. It should be possible to add new Sim Brackets that accommodate 12.3 and 13.3 properly within the sim brackets.

It is ridiculous this is another BR change with no proposed SIM changes and especially no new Sim brackets.

Here is my proposal for new Sim brackets to be introduced this update

Vehicle: Tornado F3 Late
Gamemode: Air Sim
Change: 13.3 —> 13.0
Reason: It moved down in RB. When the ICE moved down to 13.0 it moved down in both gamemodes. It is unplayable vs 14.0s and there doesn’t seem to be the new brackets expected this change to accommodate 14.0s properly into sim

Prefered solution Add a 13.3 bracket and move the F4F ICE back to 13.3

Vehicle: Hunter FGA9
Gamemode: Air Sim
BR Change: 9.7 ----> 9.3
Reason: Whilst it is stronger than Hunter F6 (France) as it has slightly better engine and the Aim-9Es, it is massively outperformed by the Hunter F6 (Britain) and there is very little reason to ever use the Hunter FGA9 currently. Given it is also a very rare premium these days. I do not believe it would cause any issues at 9.3. It is also especially weak vs the supersonic aircraft that are all currently located at 9.7.

Mode: Air Simulator

Aircraft: Ki-43-III Otsu (JPN)

4.7 → 4.3

Excellent maneuverability, but the speed of a fighter several BR steps lower and very limited WEP time. Enemies have to basically throw themselves at you to get kills, however I recognize that if you get close to someone they’re as good as dead.

Mode: Air Realistic Battles

Aircraft: B-29A-BN

Change: 7.0 → 6.7

Reasoning: The B-29A is very vulnerable against lethal jet fighters, as it cannot defend itself effectively with all its 0.50-caliber HMG turrets. Please consider lowering its BR slightly to allow it to face propeller aircraft more often.

Vehicle: J34
Gamemode: Air Simulator
**BR Change:**9.3 ----> 9.0
Reason: The J34 is a Hunter F4 with 2x Aim-9Bs but this just means it has a larger internal fuel storage than the Hunter F1 and gains no meaningful flight performance improvement over the Hunter f1, whilst the 9Bs are incredibly valuable to have, they don’t warrant a BR increase at this time and if needs be, the Hunter F1 can simply go down to 8.7 where it likely needs to be anyway.

Mode: Air Realistic Battles

Aircraft: Tu-4 (All)

Change: 8.0 → 7.3

Reasoning: The Tu-4 struggles to survive in uptiers, especially when facing faster jets armed with air-to-air missiles. It’s now much easier to destroy the fragile Tu-4 with heavier cannons and radar-guided missiles. The Tu-4 is essentially functioning as a piñata. Please consider lowering its BR a little more to 7.3.

BR brackets change every few days. vehicle BR does not. Appropriate BR should be applied no matter what.

Vehicle: Hunter F1
Gamemode: Air Realistic & Air Sim
BR Change: 9.0 → 8.7
Reason:

As per Stona:

this is a Korean Era aircraft, with no AAMs and limited flight performance these days. It should have gone down in BR with the others, but did not. It is stuck facing vastly superior late-cold war aircraft with better flight performance and capable AAMs with no advantage or strength. It should have gone down at the same time. When compared to the Hunter F6 at 9.0 it is hopelessly outclassed at the moment

Correction

Pt-76-57 8.3 → 8.7

Add HEVT

U are confusing it with the rafale then.
The rafale does way bettee and has the short range rvc missles to back it up

Preferred solution. Overhaul SRAAM (2km range and fix the buggy TVC at short range)

Vehicle: Hunter F6 (Britain)
Gamemode: Air Realistic & Air Sim
BR Change: 9.7 -----> 9.3
Reason: The Hunter F6 has no advantage over the French equivalent that is currently at 9.3 except for the SRAAMs which are in an extremely poor state. Though unlike the Harrier Gr1, actually has a usable airframe. It is also weaker than the Hunter F58 which shares the same BR in SB but has CMs and better AAMs
