It all just feels so unnecessary. I’m a Rank VI+ player almost exclusively and I was generally happy with the BRs of almost very vehicle excluding top tier which is notoriously compressed.

Almost 8.3 → 11.7 has its place at its BR and feels like it belongs, I’m not a huge fan of change in this area but I guess we’ll see how it pans out.

And the T-55AMD-1 and other 8.7s do NOT need to be 9.0.

don’t accept your fate, fight back

Vehicle: AMX A-1A
Gamemode: Air Realistic and Air Simulator
BR Change: 11.0 → 10.7
Reason: this aircraft is a premium version of a nearly identical tech tree plane, with a main armament that produces worse results, for secondary armament the differences are minimal, there are 2 main differences which are: The offensive missiles, the AIM-9L and the MAA-1, these missiles are different but fulfill a different niche each, where the AIM-9L is a longer range, quite flare resistant missile, the MAA-1 is more maneauverable with much shorter range, however it gets flared and countered incredibly easy. The other being the targeting pod, the techtree AMX has a CLDP which is gen 1 thermals and the premium counterpart has a LITENING II which is gen 2, this does not really effect the combat performance of the plane however, it will make target acquisition slightly faster but from the sky the gen 1 does fine.
other than that these planes are identical flight performance wise and, where the premium one will get pushed into 12.0 where enemies all have PD radars with powerful missiles to accompany it while the AMX itself has no radar to begin with.
and even though its a light attacker it is an extremely impotent fighter

Mode: Ground Realistic Battles

Aircraft: Mirage-2000CS-5/4

Change: 11.7→ 11.3

The Mirage 2000 CS4/5 is at a disadvantage in air-to-air combat compared to the upcoming MiG-29 and Yak-141 at 11.7 (as already reflected in their ARB RB, where the Mirage sits at 11.7 while the MiG and Yak are at 12.0). Their ground attack capabilities are equal or even inferior, and the Mirage lacks a helmet-mounted sight. Therefore, I believe the Mirage 2000 CS4/5 should be lowered to 11.3.

Mode: Ground RB

Vehicles: Pzh2000, PLZ05 (7.7 —> 8.3) / K9 Vidar (8.0 —> 8.7)

Reason: There should be no situation where 6.7 vehicles should be facing laser range finder oneshot nuke canons. Disregarding the fact that they can work in any BR up to 12.0, 6.7 vehicles should not face them as they don’t have the capability of countering them, and even less countering laser range finders AND thermals in the case of the VIDAR, albeit at 7.0. They’ll fend for themselves very well at 8.3 and 8.7 respectively, without preying on 6.7 tanks. Please consider.

Vehicle: Vampire FB.5

Mode: Air Realistic Battles

Change: 8.0 - 7.7

Reason: The Vampire is too slow to make it to the battle until it’s over, making you, dead weight to the team.


Note: if this affects the other Vampires(I assume it does) I don’t know, and those that do would need to make one for them.

Thats a good change t55 was op

AMX-40

BR: 9.7 → 9.7(not moving up to 10.0)

Come on really? This tank literally has almost nothing going for it currently. It has a BASE 8.7 second reload and a decent round with decent mobility for the BR. Despite this, it plays like a light tank since it literally has no armor. I could understand this change if you made it frontally withstand up to 100mm armor piercing rounds like it has the capability to withstand in real life but that has already been denied many times by developers and it continues to be penned frontally by even things like the BMP-2M’s APDS which is just ridiculous. Moving it up making it face things more frequently with better armor and the same mobility just isn’t the way to fix this vehicle.

AMX-40, Ground RB
Change: 10.0→ 9.7
It’s poor compared to tanks like the Leo2K, with thermal being an upside but is quickly diminished by its bad sights. Its mobility is good but rather average when getting uptiered into 10.X. Its turret traverse is bad, its ammo is subpar.
I highly, highly suggest Gaijin take in consideration of the average skills of the players playing those vehicles as normalization when doing BR balancing. We all know the French mains are, I’m going to use the word “purer”, due to a lack of premiums that get you right to toptier. So the stats of the AMX40 is going to be heavily biased due to good players playing it to grind the Lecs. If we only see it from a vehicle perspective, there’s no justification to put it on par with Leo2K.

It isn’t even a nickname, that’s like you ask what is a Merkava or Challenger.

This gets worse when you don’t know the contemporaries of a specific vehicle you want to move up in BR. No wonder Gaijin doesn’t listen to most stuff being written in here.

Same BR as T-69 II G with better DM23 105mm and ERA?

Its strong at 9.3 but it will suffer to much in 9.7 cuz fp

I don’t even need to read what Japanese plane you’re talking about: the Ki-44. Right. The Ki-44 w/ 22m/s climb rate and A6M maneuverability + 100mm Tojomium.

Some great changes to tank RB, love the decompression. But are we missing half the list?

Top tier tanks need to be 14.0, and the compression between early cold war and late needs to be addressed. As a bench mark, I would move the Leopard 1 to 8.7, Leopard 1A5 to 10.3, and Leopard 2A4 to 12.0

OP tanks need to go up, right ?
No wonder 9.3 Merkavas and Sabra went up as well.

That must be said for ALL french br change. The AMX 13 also has no reason at all to move up. They must change the way they collect statistics and fast
