AMX & Super Etendard

11.0 → 10.7 (Ground)

There is not much things to play at 11.0 and AMX can meet the top SPAA at 12.0 and most subsonic strike aircraft should move down to 10.7 Ground as well it is really in the bad position and I think it is not so hard to kill them since 2S6 and Osa is there and a lot of fighters have no issues hunting them. And especially both Italy and France have way better CAS strike aircraft at 11.3 just a little step further such as Tornado IDS MLU & Mirage 2000DR-1.

The funny thing about the french CAS is it has no lineup either way

And please don’t move MSC up I still haven’t complete my research for French 10.7 line up 😭😭😭 Gaijinnnnnnnnnn

The nature of the AGS and 11.7 matchmaking means it’s going to do way too well with M900 at 11.7.

So I would say let’s just get it over with and give it M900 and move it up to 12.0 directly.

haha the 10.7 lineup. aka 2 tanks and a premium. We all knew the MSC was going to go up

Move it down to 7.7 in ARB as well. I’ve about given up on spading my R2Y2s because I see constant 8.7 and 9.0 aircraft and that just makes the R2Y2 food. You’re slower than all your counterparts, even the Vampire is faster, you turn great for one turn then lose all speed, and the 30s have such a low velocity its painful to get them on target. They’d at least be competitive in 7.7

My plan is to have Mirage 5F, Jaguar A, MSC, Leopard 2A4NL, AMX-40, Vextra 105, Santal, and Roland.

It doesnt even have the same engine as the rest. It has a HL 234.

Haha, I saw you mentioned Zenturion, and the report on the Centurion Mk10 mantlet armor came to mind. It’s been going perfectly for two years, and the devs still haven’t done a damn thing.
There are so many bugs accumulated over so many years that you’re almost forgetting about them. I guess that’s the gaijin trick: drag it out over time, hoping people will forget, and then do nothing. Perfect strategy.

J-7D - RB 10.7 - > 11.0
Reasoning: This plane has similar capabilities to the MiG-21Bis, with missiles that trade off speed and range for rear aspect. I think it’d perform fine at 11.0 and it would be a single step down from 11.3 with the J-7E.

Short reply:

  1. Your quote looks reasonable - based on your view on the aircraft from your perspective as experienced pilot.

  2. From my perspective your argumentation regarding flight performance being able to kill 109s, XP-50s (or in my last match XP-55s) and all sorts of bombers is correct - but this is also valid for the various 3.7 P-51 Cs, the 3.7 Ki-44 IIs and the 4.0/4.3 Yak-3s.

  3. But at the same time every experienced opponent of a B7A2 in a P-51 C, Ki-44 II or Yak-3 can’t be killed by a B7A2 just by exploiting the slow top and rip speed.

  4. Imho the only flaw in your logic is the average user / player. A plane needs a higher BR when the average rookie player is able to use them like you described it. From my pov the average player is unable to use it correctly.

Long reply:

Summary
  • I recommend the plane for every HOTAS / JS user as it flies very stable and is imho the only counter balance to the hordes of CHN Ki-44s and French & USSR Yak-3s in Air RB.

  • As a power user of both versions (>10k battles combined) i do agree to your general view on the plane - except that i fly the plane(s) rather defensively and use a Hotas (=no head-ons vs mouse aimers) and am therefore far away being able to score 4 kills per battle. 3 kills are rare, 1 is standard.

  • The B7A2s have little to zero chance to kill any experienced player in the mentioned fighter examples above as their lack of speed and low wing rip speed together with the rather poor acceleration and energy retention does not allow positional mistakes.

  • If you had a chance to play several hundred battles of Pacific maps you might agree that the B7A2s are unable to kill even a plain 3.3 P-38 G. I killed dozens of B7A2s in the UK 3.7 P-47 as you are untouchable if you made it above 5.5 - 6 km. Even in my B-18B a good B7A2 player has no chance to catch and kill me, i killed a lot of them with my ventral turret - some of them felt the need to chase me for more than 15 minutes.

  • The main issue of flying the plane is, was and will be the essential need to identify and kill the best enemy aircraft / player combo. If you are outnumbered (which happens extremely often, especially since the Thai SB2C gets spammed by Ground RB players) you are forced to take out stuff like Spits and Yak-3s first - whatever it takes - otherwise you will lose.

Have a good one!

AMX-32 9.3 → 9.3

Firepower: MID at 9.3 (395 pen while others use DM33 with 421 pen)
Armor: MID at 9.3 (better than 1A5, worse than KPZ/MBT)
Speed: MID at 9.3 (similar to 1A5 due to a terrible trasmission)
Others: 20mm coaxial is nice, but the 10x zoom nightmare destroys everything

  1. Medium Tank: Comet I and other tech tree versions.
    Buff the reload time of Comet I and other versions of it, since the APDS rounds got heavily nerfed, especially when there is overlapping armor.

  2. Tank Destroyer and others: FV4005 and other HESH-only tanks, British and US.
    Buff the reload time, since the HESH is still performing poorly.

You shouldn’t weaken the Tiger 2, which disappoints and saddens the majority of Tiger players, when in fact, there is a lot of information on the Internet that proves that the horsepower of the Maybach engine is 750 horsepower

Where’s this proof? Is it with us in the room right now?

J7D is good where it is

Why should it fight full radar slinger lobbies when it has ok missiles and a shit gun?
