I personally don’t think that the br changes for the merkavas are valid,if their br go up,then they should get dm63 or some other better ammos.

You have to do 1 post per vehicle, otherwise it gets ignored

I’m so sorry a terribly implemented, shaky stationary gun was ruining your day

Type81 C is a bad move. Why every good spaa needs to be moved to a pointless/unfeasible br? Should def stay at 11.3

CAS already is quite opressing, why should gaijin makes the life of aircraft players even more easy?

Both the T34 and the T26E1 have less effective frontal armor compared to the tiger2, and the t26e1 has awful weakspots, both the turret cheek and the very exposed vertical drive, not to mention the awful reload rate in relation to its pen, twice the time to reload as the tiger2, same pen.

GRB Sd.Kfz.6/2 2.3 → 1.7 or 2.0. It is a sluggish halftrack with almost no armor (only gunshield of 8mm), compared to the 40mm bofors at around and its Br, it has also a lower ap performace.

Mode: Air Realistic

Vehicle: Hunter F.6 (Great Britain) 9.7 → 9.3.

This vehicle lacks countermeasures, is subsonic, and is not extremely manoeuvrable whilst having IR missiles that are actually fairly lackluster. The Hunter F.6 used to terrorise lobbies due to its thrust at high speeds and general energy management, aswell as the 4 SRAAM, which is why it sits currently at 9.7, but the Hunter has been powercrept to the moon and now doesn’t really make sense at 9.7.

The SRAAMs are funny and can pull off extraordinary shots, but 95% of these will be against players who are unaware of them. The range in these missiles is so limited that they really struggle past 900m, even at altitude. They are also extremely susceptible to flares. They are ostensibly very good, but their actual capability is limited and reliant on enemies not knowing about them. The AIM-9B is nearly a better missile.

Aside from the missiles, it’s a 9.3 plane. We see this with the Dutch Hunter F.6 sitting at this BR now with an identical FM but worse missiles. This plane, while easy to get kills with because of the guns and nose authority, is not actually very great - the MiG-19 is faster, accelerates faster, and is more manoeuvrable than you. The large performance gap between 9.3 and 9.0 means that 9.3 is the right BR for the Dutch hunter, but this doesn’t mean that the British hunter, with a minor upgrade to the missiles shouldnt enjoy this BR too.

Sorry, i disagree, it would be just like on release, ie. TURMS fighting tanks like A1A1 which are absolutely outclassed. At 10.3 its fine.

For sure,if it go up to11.7,gaijin might not give Japan a new top tier spaa in the future

Even with DM63 the Armor stays quite meh with the Engine beeing completely useless at stopping anything. Merk 1&2 also suffer from really poor mobility and the L7 with its long reload doesn’t help either.

Why though isn’t it better to put them in one message not to spam the thread?

I know, but that’s the rule of the forum. I think it’s written on top of the thread

Type-81c

Ground RB
11.3 → 11.3

Reason:
I cannot articulate hard enough that you should not move the Type 81 up. Fundamentally this is a radarless IR missile launcher, yes it’s quite good at killing what it knows is there, the issue is it’s pretty terrible at knowing that something is around to kill.
not even touching on the other issues like leaving the otherwise quite capable 11.3 line up with only the 9.3 Type 9.3 to counter the extremely capable CAS at the BR

Before making 13.0 even worse. I think they need to add a 13.3 bracket and decompress 13.0

I know man I’m really trying to make some impact here. Cause at this rate why don’t we just move like every French tank up 2 BR increments(0.6/7BR). If a balanced win rate is what they want that’s what it will take, nothing less. Minor nations have always had better players so they will always maintain the highest win rates of any nation, so they kill unique vehicles like the Type 81C, Amx-40, TKX(P), Merkava’s, etc. to the point of unplayability.

Something interesting

In every previous br change sheet there are pretty much changes that can affect vehicles’ performance in ground and air assault mode and not a single change that can improve the situation of heli pve environment.
For example, after br lifts, the Soviet T-55A which was previously in 8.0 is now in 8.3. The 0.3 br lift means totally different enemy targets in Ground assault mode, since vehicles from 8.3 and above are put in a separate section facing gen3 mbts, instead of '50s heavy tanks.
Helicopter pve battles are divided into 2 parts: 9.7- and 9.7+, and the battle rating is from air sim mode. While advanced helicopters have been added every year and once in one or two updates, gaijin seems to ignore the fact that the sim br and br rules for heli pve are outdated and need to be improved.
While the posts under today’s topic show that players are willing to defend their playing experience, and that gaijin’s balancing and community report mechanics are broken, there is still a part of the game ignored by gaijin staffs and most players, but will greatly affect the experience of grinding for stock vehicle’s parts and modifications. I would like to ask for attention from players and gaijin staff members that battle ratings for pve modes should also be focused.
