I’ve done a post for each above, but just wanted to do a single post just outlying the rather stupid BRs of the Hunters at the moment in SB for the devs to seriously look at/consider.
J-34 with 2x 9Bs - This is just a Hunter F4 which only really gets more internal fuel over the Hunter F1 from what I can find
At 9.0:
Hunter F6 (France) with 2x Aim-9Bs - Unlike the J-34, the Hunter F6 gets a more powerful engine and the improved wing design, meaning it is superior to the J-34 in pretty much every respect. It also gets drop tanks which neither the J-34 or any of the British Hunters get.
Hunter F1 with no AAMs - Similar performance to the Hunter F4 (J34) but hasnt got any AAMs at all. This could do with being at a lower BR compared to even the J-34, but being the same BR as the Hutner F6 is just insane.
Is it fair to make T-55 tanks equal to TAM or XM-803? Do you remember their mobility and gun handling? I even dont want to remember about chinese ZTZ88 tanks on same BR which are better than soviet and sweden at most of parameters. Developer dont care they just see unplayable 7.7 8.0 tanks on stupid BRs placed there by same developer and they see it cant beat T-55 (surprise). Maybe developer can think more than 1 minute about Leopard 1 BR or BMP-1 or M48 on their ridiculous balancing.
Unplayable balancing unplayable server performance unplayable locations unplayable sound.
Reasoning: The KA-50 is tier-by-tier the most toxic and overpowered helicopter to date. At it’s own BR there is literally only a single SPAA that is capable of reliably fighting it (Tor M1), any other SPAA at it’s br or below has absolutely no chance at dealing with it, even if the KA-50 player barely pays attention, as most SAM’s at the BR or below do not have the necessary range-performance, nor the velocity to take it down. Gun, or IR-based SPAA do not stand a chance, as they either: do not have enough range, or cannot lock-onto it at ~2.5km. Even at 11.7, there’d only be few, but atleast some, SPAA that can deal with it.
At the same time, the KA-50 has an absurdly high kill potential with minimal risk and is hilariously easy to spawn in. Heli-rushers inting early, therefore possibly dragging down it’s overall stats is absolutely no justification for it to stay at such a low BR.
In truth it should be given its 6 Aim9L-I it had IRL, Id need to find the source again but its out there. unclassified. it might even have had 8 since it had a double mount on the wings like F18 has.
It is directly outclassed by other US vehicles at 6.7, such as T26E5 and T26E1-1. These are more heavily armored and/or better armed variants of the M26. They are obviously different and shouldn’t share a BR.
It is comparable with tanks such as Panther A and Tiger 1E, which sit at a BR of 6.0, a whopping two BR steps lower. The tanks are roughly comparable in Armor and firepower, but I will concede the M26 is slightly better than either. That’s why I advocate for 6.3 BR, a difference of 0.3 from these vehicles.
