Guys, a reminder please to stay in topic for this thread for battle ratings.
There are plenty of other topics on the forum and throughout to discuss other elements, suggestions or issues without derailing this topic for others trying to follow along.
Vehicle: MiG-21SMT Gamemode: Air Realistic BR Change: 10.3 —> 10.7 Reason Undertiered at the current rating, where it can use it’s great flight performance, plentiful countermeasures and undodgeable missiles against way worse aircraft with no flares.
nah its okay to move it up. i regularly get 10 kill games with it, its only downside being its armor. moving it up really only ruins your full even 8.7 line up
Reasoning: The inferior avionics of the early Su-27 series (poor RWR, poor radar) make it unviable in the current Sim matchmaker, as currently, these jets will always face 13.7 and 14.0, which makes these planes obsolete as there is no reason to fly them out as opposed to the Su-27SM or the J-11A/B.
Here we go again. Another attempt to save heavy bombers.
Air Realistic Battles
Tu-4 (all)
8.0 → 7.0
At its current BR Tu-4 constantly meets planes, that are way faster and often armed with air-to-air missiles. Tu-4 can’t win matches or play effectively, because if enemy team ignores you, you’ll never get any kills. Also, there are many fast planes with bombs and airspawns on close BRs, that can reach bases much faster, so bombing on Tu-4 is also worthless.
Raising the AMX-40 tank to 10.0 is unacceptable. Compared to the Leopard 2K, its sight magnification, protection, and turret rotation speed are all significantly worse. The AMX-40 should not be raised in RB, or at the very least, it should receive some buffs.
J7W, air RB
BR: 6.0→6.0 but give its airspawn back, or move it down to 5.7
Being an interceptor in-game, it lost its airspawn a while back. There’s honestly no reason for it, as its flight performance is rather poor compared to counterparts such as the hornet, who has an airspawn.
Vehicle: M1 Abrams Change: M833
Abrams is currently having a hard time with just M774 APFSDS. M774 is not enough to deal with 10.7+ targets. So M1 Abrams should receive M833 to make it playable again.
Tbh though i dont really see them that much, grandted i dont play alot of 4.0 ish br but i do play around 5.7 every now and again and i dont really see them spammed as much.
Vehicle: Tornado GR4 Gamemode: Ground Realistic BR Change: 12.3 —> 11.7 Reason: With the changes to pushing the top tier CAS up to 13.0, this creates an oppotunity for these “mid performance” CAS aircraft like the Tornado GR4 to get a BR drop down to 11.7 where they could operate largely free of the vastly superior CAS aircraft above. The Tornado GR4 isnt that far off the Mirage 2000D or Tornado GR1/A200C in terms of performance, all of which are 11.3 in ground currently.
Mitigation: Increase the SP cost of Brimstones notably on the Tornado GR4
Reasoning: These german heavy cruisers are overly dominant in 5.7 naval matches, to the point where the team with the most of these ships has a much greater chance of victory. They are far and above superior to any other 5.7 ship with good armour and outstanding penetration and DPM. A 5.7 naval match almost always has a hipper-class cruiser in 1st place, they are miserable to face in other 5.7 heavy cruisers yet alone 4.7 destroyers.
