Have you ever used that plane ?

F-20A
12.3>12.7
Reasoning:
Again, this 4th gen is way too low, fighting 11.3s is crazy. 12.7 is again still quite generous.

Vehicle: S.O.4050 Vautour IIB & S.0.4050 Vautour IIA

Gamemode: Air Realistic

BR Change: 9.0 —> 8.7

Reason: It is directly comprable aircraft to the Yak-28B. If that aircraft has moved down to 8.7, despite being substationally faster, then so should the Vautours at 9.0

Pokry’s P-39 is much lighter due to the deletion of the wing-armament. On a plane as small as the P-39, this makes a big difference. The P-39 is already horrendously undertiered and Pokry’s is too.

If you think they should be the same BR, which is excusable since the 7.62mms do occasionally help, then you should argue that the tech tree P-39 be moved up instead of suggesting that one of the strongest vehicles in the game be moved down. In reality both should be 4.3 or something.

(GRB) Kurnass 2000 11.7 > 11.3 — Attack jet comparable to Su-39/25T. Dont know how its got rised in the last BR changes if literally noone plays it.

(ARB) Kurnass 2000 12.3 > 11.7 — Phantom with 6x Fox-2s without irccm on the same BR with F-16 with 6x Fox-2s without irccm. Cant be higher then Mig-23 ML.

MiG-29 9.13, 9.12A, 9.12B, Sniper
12.7>13.3, add R-73, remove R-27ER/ET
MiG-29 9.12G
13.0>13.3, remove R-27ER/ET
Reasoning:
Historically accurate armament load that will also make for a much more balanced and effective aircrafts.

Mode: Naval Realistic Battles
Vehicle: Scharnhorst
BR: 7.3 → 7.7/8.0
Reasoning:
It has too much survivability compared to any ship of its current BR: RN Conte Di Cavour, RN Duilio, HMS Barhem, Stratsbourg and others.

12.0 maybe.

Python-3 might be non-IRCCM, but they are still one of the best non-IRCCM in game. With 12.0 Phantoms without even all-aspect IRs, 12.0 is as low as it can go.

P-39s are as low as they are because of their survivability, if you’re hit center mass it’ll damage 3 modules that can cripple or kill you outright.

Give the F-14B AIM-9Ms it has to fight the F-2

Agreed. Its about time we saw the Mig-29s corrected, though I dont think the Mig-29G would be viable at 13.3 without R-27ERs to carry it.

Bad take… theres a good reason most of the time thers no f16s

But loads of f18s, phantoms, f14.

A few things need to be addressed in this:

-T29 getting a reload nerf but no BR change? It should at very least move down to 6.7 with a nearly 3 second nerf to its reload.

-Shilka getting better Iglas but no BR change? Newer missiles should push it to the very least 9.7

-BMD4s and BMP3 still at 9.0-9.3? These things face many un-stabilized vehicles with gen 2 thermals insane mobility and tandems. Not to mention air tracking. These absolutely need to be 9.7-10.0 territory.

-Bagel and VBCI moving up yet the BMDs stay the same.

-The excuse of the 2S38 STILL not moving up because of player statistics is insane. You could at least give the strf 9040s their air tracking since they all sit at the same BRs or higher than this.

-ZA35 and the XM800T are getting the Falcon treatment. Moving up against things with less armor. Wont resolve them at all only going to get more annoying

-M51s have such inconsistent heat and yet still being moved up in BR

Stop compressing 12.0 even further in ground. There is absolutely no reason we can’t have 12.7 in ground at this point.

Mode: Air Realistic Battles
Vehicle: Hunter F.1
BR Change: 9.0 → 8.7

The Hunter F.1 has strong guns and good nose authority. It also is a favourite of experienced players who played the vehicle when it was truly top dog, these factors have kept its BR too high for too long. The Hunter F.1 may have trumped the CL-13A, F-86F-2 and MiG-17 back in its day, but the meta has shifted since then, and the hunter is objectively worse than the three aforementioned vehicles. Manouevrability and low-speed acceleration are now more important than top-end SEP when facing against supersonics who stop the hunter being able to use its straight line strenghts. It deserves to be rejuvenated with an 8.7 BR.

Mode: Air Realistic Battles

Aircraft: B7A2 (Homare 23)

Change: 3.7 → 4.0

Reasoning: Again, I’ve played this aircraft in Air RB well enough to say it’s a monster with airspawn, giving it an uncontested energy advantage. This aircraft could dominate every Air RB match with its ridiculously good flight performance, which allows it to hold its own against Bf-109Fs and XP-50s. It can easily intercept and destroy bombers, often outdoing other fighters, including the standard B7A2 with a weaker powerplant. You can even consistently net over 4 kills per match in this thing.

F-16AJ
12.7>13.0
Reasoning: part of decompression, and it’s got AIM-7s unlike the A
