GRB, VIDAR: 8.0 → 8.3
Reason: It has very good mobility, Gen.3 TVD, Laser rangefinder and good firerate, it should go up an step just like the PzH 2000

Please make Super Etendard for ground RB 11.0 to ==> 10.7.
You destroy the new French line up 10.7 and 10.7 is ok for this plane for GRB in my opinion.
Thanks.

Begleitpanzer 57 at 9.7 should also get it’s rank increased.

GRB, VFM5 (Stay 9.3)

It has worse armour, has no autoloader, and no thermals comparative to its American cousin (XM8), so it shouldn’t be the same BR because the performance doesn’t reflect this

Mode: Ground Realistic Battles

Vehicle: Merkava Mk.2D
BR Change: 10.3 > 10.0

Reasoning:
The strengthened armor from the NERA is already compensated by its subpar mobility even with the mine protection removed. They are also almost the same with Merkava Mk.2B, which are still 9.7.

Mode: Air realistic battles
Vehicle: F4D-1
9.0->9.3
Ever since wing ripping was “removed” the planes suffering from it have become strong. F4D has way too good performance compared to some other 9.0’s, alongside carrying 4 missiles while opponents usually carry 2. It’s only limitation is the ammo and weird gun placement. It seriously is at the same rating as hunter f1/j34??

Tiger 2 vmax and hp/t going down so much is just hilarious and completely unnecessary. German teams are already struggling and this change would just be a death knell to them. Begleitpanzer moving to 9.7 while bmp-3 and bmd-4 stay and 9.0 and 9.3 is delusional and completely unbalanced

What an amazing change! Both great for the 13.0 roster and the 12.7 area too! Very good set of changes (even the ayit getting a br increase… itll still be decent at 9.7)

Bold of you to think that matters.

Gaijin only goes by poorly-defined “battle efficiency” metrics. It is why the same vehicle can have different BRs in different nations when it’s a literal copy-paste.

Actual vehicle stats are irrelevant.

Firstly, poor Ratel 90 gang, oh well.

Secondly

Mode: Realistic battles
Vehicle: Strikemaster mk88
BR change with new weapon: 6.3>6.7

Reasoning:
As shown via this report
https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/eq1ml5W6sNK1

The Strikemaster is capable of using more than just the universal 7.62 gunpod. The main reason for its relatively lower BR then its performance is the lack of offensive capacity vs other aircraft, especially fighters. This means that the Strikemaster is able to dominate in GRB due to its weapons options and capacity and also in 1 on 1 combat against other aircraft even with its limited weapons.

The solution is to grant it access to the SUU-11 gunpod and increase BR accordingly.

go check ground forces changes

Why pt16/t14 going up to 11.0? It is far worse than type 90, no thermal, no composite, still use dm23 as it’s best ammo, but only 1 step lower?

Please use english or use the RU site.

M26(A1) RB 6.7>6.3.
Come on guys. It is worse that KTH and it’s own upgraded versions on the same BR.

Mode: Ground Realistic Battles

Vehicle: Type 90/90B/90B Fuji
BR Change: 11.3 > 11.7

Reasoning:
Let’s be real, it’s the same tank as TKX(P) in all the areas where it really matters and it has no business being at 11.3 to fight against 10.3 tanks and should be raised in BR accordingly.

Please return Super Etendard for ground RB 11.0 to 10.7.
It’s ok plane for this BR in my opinion and you destroy the new french line up 10.7.
Subsonic plane and “only” 2 guided laser missiles and 2 bomb laser and no anti air with this loadout ; no thermal.
It’s like the SU25-BM you return to 10.7 for me , it’s ok.
Thanks.
