Please dont uptier the spz12-3 LGS its perfect at 6.7 and its the only balanced 6.7 ground tank that has good hear fs it doesnt have armor or even mobility it wont be playable at 7.0 because germany only has a 7.0 aa tank to back it up.

I hope somone sees my argument and it gets considered because the spz12-3 LGS doesnt need to be 7.0 theirs no tanks to back it up and you’ll be forced to use 6.7 tanks. Its my favorite 6.7 ever added and i will be really sad if it moves up to 7.0

Air Sim Battle Ratings for 12.3 Review

With the introduction of the 12.3 Air Sim Bracket a review is recquired of all 12.3 aircraft in ASB as several have 12.3 battle ratings but should be at 12.7 or higher but simply never moved due to the lack of a 12.3 bracket and therefore a lack of necessity for such a change as they were always at 12.7+ anyway.

These are:

F-14A Early - ARH does not belong at 12.3, even in ASB.
F-14B - if the F-14A moves up, so should the F-14B as a direct result
F-14A IRIAF - likewise, should move up in response to the F-14A Early moving up

F/A-18A, needs to be watched very carefully as it may need a BR increase as it would be best compared to the Mig-29s at 12.7

I shall do individual posts for each below

Vehicle: F-14A Early

Gamemode: Air Simulator

BR Change: 12.3 —> 12.7

Reason: ARH at this time shouldnt be available as an assymetric advantage for Bluefor at this BR. Whilst it is a reasonable counter to the R-27ER found on Redfor 12.7 and 13.0s, they dont exist on anything below 12.7 and as such, the F-14A would be best suited for 12.7 as it is in ARB.

Too date, this change was likely not done due to the lack of a 12.3 bracket, which resulted in all 12.3s playing at 12.7 regardless.

Vehicle: F-14B

Gamemode: Air Simulator

BR Change: 12.7 —> 13.0

Reason: The F-14B is a stronger aircraft compared to the F-14A Early and therefore should be at a higher BR. The F-14B is better suited being compared to the 13.0 ARH slingers such as the Viggen Di

Vehicle: F-14A IRIAF

Gamemode: Air Simulator

BR Change: 12.7 —> 13.0

Reason: Whilst having much of the same weaknesses of the F-14A Early that allows it to be at 12.7. The addition of the Fakour-90 changes things enough to justify the F-14A IRIAF to be at 13.0 alongside most of the other ARH slingers

Vehicle: F/A-18A

Gamemode: Air Simulator

BR Change: 12.3 —> 12.7

Reason: Whilst the airframe is probably appropriate for 12.3 overall. The lack of meaningful redfor counter at this time should warrant its BR increasing to 12.7 temporarily. This keeps 12.3 competitive for all nations

VEHICLE : A-7E (U.S.A AND JAPAN)
MODE: AIR REALISTIC BATTLE
BR CHANGE : 10.7 → 10.0/9.7

REASON:
The only difference between the A-7E and A-7D is the the targeting pod and walleyes that’s it otherwise I’m not sure why the A-7E is at 10.7. it is basically identical to the A-7D but with worse missiles. I think it would definitely benefit going down since the at 9.7 most aircraft it would face would have similar performance and missiles. For reference the av8 has the same missile at 9.7

(As a side note i think the a-10late should be placed after both A-7 D/E in the tech tree since it has overall better performance with similar payload)

websites and apps having a light mode should be made illegal

change my mind

certainly should be Dark by default,

I have my browser and Youtube on light because YTers make thumbnails for a white background usually,

and to avoid being flashbanged by a bright video or webpage (98% are White mode only / default)

most Webpage UI is usually built with Darkmode as an afterthough (for example Wikipedia) my eyes just can’t focus on the text properly, but places with it built in properly (E.G Discord / this forum) look perfectly fine

People saying the fakours are not somehow free kills, explain to me what i was meant to do in this situation…

(Right click the video and copy link address if not loading)

hey err ur video won’t load

yeah, im figuring out how to ungay it mid game rn so ill do it in a sec.

Playing the f4ej in a full upteir so wont be long, i cant see half the radars on my rwr at this br…

it might just be uploading still

Are gaijin’s forum servers just as slow as the game ones? because 8 minutes is a WHILE…

Copy the link address, cba to figure out how to pc rn.
