Upon further googlin, I can only find a few comments stating that the German 9.12A just used the R-27R (not T/ET/ER). No information backing this claim so I’ll take it at face value for now.

Our current ingame early 29’s ver didn’t use ER or ET Alamo’s. Except the 29SMT & we don’t have the MiG-29S specific ver.

The rate of fire of the Tigers wont even be changed, and like many asked befor and got answered. NO, because the 105 Tiger II has a different engine, the HL 234 900 PS.

2361

m50 even have better mobility and much much better firepower, and it doesn’t need to worry about its flanks.

Mode: Air Realistic Battles

Aircraft: Me 262 A-1a, Me 262 A-1a/Jabo, and Me 262 A-2a

Change: 7.0 → 6.3, 7.0 → 6.3, and 6.7 → 6.3

Reasoning: These were the world’s first mass-produced jet aircraft. They have poor maneuverability and take a long time to build up speed, which means they can only rely on their velocity - something that is rarely achievable at BR 7.0 (where they very often face 7.7 and 8.0). In addition, they are equipped with a very specific armament: four 30 mm MK 108 cannons with extremely poor ballistics.

It should also be noted that at BR 6.3 there is already the Me 262 A-1/U4, armed with the 50 mm Mk.214a cannon, which offers far superior ballistics and aiming performance, and yet it does not cause any balance issues.

Kugelblitz
Ground Realistic
Should be lowered from 7.0 to 6.7
Reason:

  • Insufficient Firepower: The Kugelblitz’s HE rounds (MK103) have a lower velocity and energy retention than the Ostwind II’s Flak44. Furthermore, without a staggered firing mechanism, its firing intervals are longer than the Ostwind II, making it less effective against fast-moving late-war and early jet aircraft.
  • Weak Anti-Ground Capability: Following the nerf to its AP rounds, the MK103 can no longer effectively penetrate medium tanks of the same BR from the U.S. and Soviet tech trees. Its Panzer IV chassis also gives it poor mobility, making it difficult to threaten ground targets.
  • German 6.7 AA Gap: The German 6.7 BR, a core lineup, lacks effective anti-air vehicles to counter powerful CAS aircraft (e.g., A2D, F8F, AD4, AM1, Yak-9). Keeping the Kugelblitz at 7.0 creates a BR imbalance, leaving key German ground forces (like the Tiger II) without proper anti-air support in 7.0 matches.

Jagdtiger
Ground Realistic
Should have its reload speed increased
Reason:

  • Mobility Nerf: In the upcoming update, the Jagdtiger’s engine power will be significantly reduced, lowering its power-to-weight ratio to 7.97. This change will severely impact the vehicle’s battlefield mobility and strategic positioning.
  • Unrealized Design Advantages: The Jagdtiger’s design includes several features that should logically lead to a faster reload time, but these are not currently reflected in the game:
    • Dual Loaders: The Jagdtiger was equipped with two loaders, which should allow for a much quicker collaborative loading process.
    • Spacious Fighting Compartment: The large fighting compartment provides ample room for the crew to maneuver and handle the massive ammunition.
    • Two-Piece Ammunition: The use of two-piece ammunition is generally easier to handle and load than a single, large round, especially with a two-man loading crew.

besides, is2 need reload buff too

It is unfair to nerf the tiger 2 and the t-29

F-104S.ASA: Addition of Aspike Mk.2

It would finally make this aircraft able to compete, having the equivelant of an ARH AIM-7E-2 it wouldn’t be that overpowered especially since it has to face aircraft with SARH missiles that have over twice the range of the Aspide

You can’t be serious pal. XM is insanely strong, France has been screwed over and bumped up to INSANE levels, what are you on…literally LAST changes the 7.7 was butchered and shoved up. Are you okay? How’s that selective memory?

Oh wow, now this would be interesting. At 12.0 it wouldnt be half bad, what would make it even better is if it got di chirped 9ls but im not sure if it ever got them.

That is wrong I can show you the Tiger 2 manual stating a top speed of 34kph

At a lower battlerating, HESH screwing you over wouldn’t be as detrimental or as likely though.
So I find no reason for it to not sit alongside other glass cannons like the KV-2 or M44

2371

I dont get why everyone getting mad about the engine nerfs? If it allows the tank to stay at a br bellow 7.0 (where it belongs) why would i complain? speed aint everything.

2372

Sounds very interesting, and wouldn’t even be overpowered anyway because the ARH have the range of a 7E-2 (unless the Aspide Mk2 brought more changes than just a seeker)

2373

Even worse. 315 HP Constant performance. 400 HP only for 12 Min in T-34.
