I didnt initially include the MLU in my list of Tonka Changes above because its still WIP and has the potential to get the buffs needed to justify being 11.7 over the 11.3 Tonkas.
Just the devs hate the Tonkas
Should have AIM-9L(I) tbh
Mode: Air Realistic Battles
Vehicle: Bf 109 Z-1
BR Change: 4.7 → 4.3
This vehicle is the same BR as the Bf 109 G-6 whilst having far worse handling and manouevrability, and a similar climb rate. The top speed is a slight improvement, but it is still nothing special. 4.3 would be a welcome breath of life into this unique and rare vehicle, whilst keeping it balanced.

You cant decompress by moving things down. There is only 1 way things can move and after trying to play 12.0 and getting uptiered every single match to 13.0 . this really needs to be done
Only 0.3 increase to top BR is crazy.
The US didn’t export the different belts for the 37mm during the war, and it actually should only be HE as the US never sold the AP belts so its technically balanced as it has something it shouldn’t.
counter arguement; add F-14D instead so we get all the updated weapons such as AIM-7P and AIM-9M without uptiering the F-14B any further

Eh… Maybe. Really on the fence with that. So long as it doesnt increase to 12.0.
But just its BOZ-ECs would maybe just barely be enough to justify being 11.7
F-15A is fabulous, I’ve got no idea what you’re talking about.
not saying moving down, im saying move rafale etc higher up. I dont see a single reason why we cant have a 14.7 or 15.0

Vehicle: Shenyang F-5
Game mode: Air&Tank RB
Br:9.3＞9.0
Reason: Shenyang F-5 is just a Mig-17 with WEP and PL-2 missile,
Its max speed is not enough for a 9.3 br;
It has no flares/chaff;
Its combat performance is simply unable to support its fight against Mig-21S or a Mig-21SMT/MF (when uptiered);
F-106A is gonna stay at 9.3 with AIM-4G;
F-86F-40 and F3H are already moved to 8.7/9.0;
Honestly I just really dont understand why Shenyang F-5 is still staying at 9.3, it should get a lower br.

12.3>12.0
Reasoning:
No radar missiles, so why is it the same BR as the EJ Kai, or the F-16 or F-20?

Mode: Air Realistic Battles
Aircraft: A-7D
Change: 10.3 → 10.0
Reasoning: Reminder, with BR separation between Air RB and Ground RB now implemented, the A-7D should no longer be tied to its outdated, legacy placement. As a subsonic aircraft with a mediocre flight model and limited ability to compete against supersonic opponents at its BR range without all-aspect AAMs, it is more appropriately placed at 10.0 in Air RB.

Mode: Air Realistic Battles
Aircraft: A-7K
Change: 11.3 → 10.7
Reasoning: Reminder, with BR separation between Air RB and Ground RB now implemented, the A-7K, which uses the same powerplant as the A-7D and A-7E and is subsonic, should be lowered to 10.7 and retain its AIM-9Ls. Currently, its flight performance hinders its ability to compete against more advanced supersonic opponents at its BR range.

New SIM brackets!? Holy moly can’t believe it. Su-33!!! JF-17!!!
Well it’s such unfortunate that for the upcoming update we don’t have any hint of F-14D, so I stick with current thing first.
Tornado ADV, F.3
12.0>12.3
Reasoning:
Great armament and avionics, too strong for 12.0. Please note this is all part of decompression and it shouldn’t end up fighting current 13.3s!
Decompression huh? Well that’s only .3 but that’s still decompression I guess yall are happy
Ah yes the 9040C, so much deadlier than the 2S38 that can frontally kill a 2A6 no issue. We all know why you won’t push it up, we’re not stupid. It makes money, simple as. It’s been suggested every single change, it never moves. It can deal with anything on the field no issue. Player stats balancing is a joke. Ah yes this insane vehicle is not going up because loads of people don’t know how to use it, even if it can delete anything in the hands of anyone half-competent. Makes sense.
