11.0 → 10.7
reasoning: low countermeasure amount, only 2 9Gs, no radar and a very bad RWR

You still haven’t stated why you think the IRIAF isn’t the worst 13.0. What gave you that high KD and how is it better than the average 13.0?
What is with Isreal’s Merkava’s and Namer getting Up tiered. Namer is not a good and barely seen on the battlefield. Not only are you nerfing an already bad vehicle, but the few who do still enjoy it will stop playing it. Merkava’s can be good so I can understand to some extent, but they are inconsistent compared to similarly tiered Russian variants (T-64 / T72) which are faster better armored, similar reload speed, and better darts. Overall, Isreal is getting hit pretty hard without much reason.

My bad, misread the original post you replied to…
Gamemode: Ground Realistic Battles
Vehicle: Merkava Mk.1/2s and Merkava Mk.2D
Change: Add M426 (DM63 105mm APFSDS) to the Merkava Mk.2D AND Lower the reload rate of the Merkava Mk.1/2s to 5.0-6.0 seconds. No BR changes.
It’s the latest serving Merkava Mk.2 we have ingame, and the Magachs that served before it even have this round. If you’re going to uptier the sadest Merkava to 10.0, it needs a round that lets it be viable at this BR. I would also like to recommend a lower reload rate for these vehicles, as has been passed as a suggestion here: Community Bug Reporting System
A 6.7s aced reload, commonly seen as 7.1s for expert crews which players will tend to use, is quite unviable given the slow mobility, poor armor, and lower end round. The fact the 120mm Merkava Mk.3s are out reloading these things is a joke, even if it’s intended for balance, their puspose has been worn out given the new BR of these vehicles.

Fair enough, was just clarifying, thanks
I know it’s useless, but still…
RN Ghibli, 4.0 → 3.0, slow firing 100 mm cannons, very poor survivability, no armor, destroyers spawn, nothing justifies this boat to sit that high in BR.

Mode: Ground RB
Vehicle: Type 69
Change: 8.0 - > 8.3
LRF and dual plane stabilised and decent traverse rate, definitly too good for 8.0, ammunition is a limiting factor but 400mm Penetration HEAT-FS is still absolutely fine for 8.3
FV4030/3
Ground RB
9.7 → 9.7
Remove the L23 APFSDS, with the Rapier moving to 9.7 a decent lineup is forming at the BR (FV4030/3, Rooikat 105, Harrier GR3, Rapier) but by moving it up the FV4030/3 you stifle that lineup. Although I can see the FV4030/3 is quite effective, so I propose removing APFSDS, leaving it with the L15 APDS and HESH, this would limit its capability in frontal engagements at range, and at close range leave more of a chance for counter play as L15 cannot reliably front penetrate T-64B, T72M1, ZTZ96 etc without aiming for weakspots, essentially turning it into something akin to a Churchill gameplay wise, good armour with a poor gun. (Not trying to say L15 is bad however, it would fairly reliably deal with every else with a decent aim.)
I did have another idea which I’ll elaborate on in another post

Mode: Ground RB
Vehicle: Wiesel 1A4
Change: 7.3 - > 8.3
Consider changing to Light tank class or removing scouting
As XM800T is moving to 8.3 may as well move Wiesel up too, it has one disadvantage in slightly limited arc, but it also has thermals SPAA spawn costs, LRF and still scouting, it is ludicrous to be placed at 7.3

Because its not, sure it doesn’t have the most flares, but Fakour and R27R1 are good mainly the Fakour and the IR missile is meh but its not useless, considering how good Fakours are they make up for the rest of the kit lacking, if i had add on fuel tanks id be a monster for close range after using my Fakour, occasionally i use Sedjeel to hunt people who are oblivious to using their brain at high alt or i use them as Psuedo Fakour as they hit targets below me.
The F14 FM leads a lot of people i to thinking theyll win the turn fight but with SIM keybinds i turn within their circle and clap them, the o ly reason i die is because i over extend or get 3rd partied. The radar leaves a lot to be desired but its not the worst ive ever used. Learn your keybinds and pick your targets once you’re out of Fakours and you can get 2-3 kills with just your guns and left over missiles.
If it got new IR missiles great, if it doesn’t oh well it doesn’t change my love for clubbing the 13.0’s with it.
Mode: Air Realistic Battles
Vehicle: F-14A IRIAF
Change: Add R-73
Reasoning: This is currently the highest battle rating aircraft in the entire game lacking an all-aspect heatseeking missiles. This aircraft’s BR placement is complicated due to the advanced Fakour-90 missiles, however once the Fakour-90s are expended this aircraft is extremely difficult to use with its bad RWR, AIM-9Ps, poor engine thrust, and lack of countermeasures. This encourages toxic passive gameplay with F-14 IRIAF players, where they are not capable of competing against late fourth generation fighters in close range engagements, so instead they fire the Fakours at long range and return to base, sometimes leaving the game or repeating. Many other Fox-3 carriers 13.0 that also are lacking in performance, such as the F-4F, have access to all-aspect IRCCM heatseeking missiles, while the F-14A IRIAF doesn’t even have access to a normal all-aspect heatseeking missiles.
The aircraft currently features the R-27R, however, this missile only saw limited testing, while the R-73 on the other hand was also proven to see limited service and testing. There is no historical reason why this addition cannot be made based on the precedent that has been set on adding the R-27 to this airframe.

Pantsir-S1 = 12.0
Type 81 (C) = 11.7
HQ17 = 11.3
It’s just a joke. If gaijin think it’s normal, it’s useless to explain anything to them.

Mode: Any mode
Tank: Pt-76-57 (USSR/Russia)
Changes: Move to rank 6 (with improved reward modifiers if possible) and add the scout drone modification
Reasoning:
- It is at a br of 8.3.
- It is a vehicle of the early 2000s so I think is does deserve the scout drone modification, which it can get if it is moved to rank 6.
- The xm800T is being moved to rank 6 after being moved to br 8.3 while the m551 is being moved down to rank 5 after being moved to a br of 8.0.
- The Pt-76-57 still has the reward modifiers back when it was 7.0, rank 4.

5.3 → 4.3
air rb
reason: 2 20mms, you are the slowest plane of the br, also made out cloth so you are not survivable at all, this plane as similar FM to the other 4.3s
Rip TKX (P), I was going for Japan 11.3 lineup but Gaijin had to ruin our lineups again…

Are you sure about that ?
Those shells are one of the worst darts in the game. DM23 blows them out of the water.

can we get a strela br increase please?
The AMX-13 is already terrible and overtiered at 6.7…
Why move it up to 7.0???
Oh right… Yall are the same people who put the FL11 above the M24 Chafee in BR despite the M24 being better in every way…

Alright lets compare the T-55AM’s to other MBT’s at the same BR since for some reason out of all these changes this is what most concerns you.
USA - M60A1 Rise (P)
- No LRF
- Worse mobility
- Worse shells
- Worse armor
Germany, OH WAIT they don’t even have one! I’ll compare it to the 9.0 Leopard A1A1 then
- Worse armor
- No LRF
- Did I mention worse armor? you can literally pen this thing anywhere with the T-55AM’s
Trades no LRF and worse armor for a slightly better shell and reload
GB - Chieftain MK 5
- Slower
- No LRF
- Worse armor
- Only has APDS, horrible angled performance
Japan, yet again no 8.7, sp I’ll compare it to the Type 74F at 9.0
- Worse armor
- Same mobility
- slightly faster reload (7.3 compared to 6.7)
Notice how it’s much more comparable to the T-55’s than the 8.7’s? It trades off armor for a better shell, which is what 2 vehicles at the same BR should do. The T-55AM’s are much more comparable to 9.0’s than 8.7’s, but I’m sure its every other vehicle that needs a BR change and not them. Also I didn’t even mention the ZTZ88’s which are literally the exact same vehicle with worse armor at a higher BR
