F-16AJ is not getting AMRAAMs, only the ADF (US + ITA) and Chinese F-16A MLU

Agree
Light tank in 11.7 just like CV90120 have near 600mm penetration and 5s reload.There is no reason to let ags get 522mm penetration.

HMaS Fremantle (3.0) → (2.7) [Realistic]

This ship at best is nothing but a sidegrade to the HMaS Arrow found at 2.7. It is essentially a bigger Arrow with 3 .50 cals (controlled by AI) instead of the 1 by the Arrow.

Can somebody tell me why I should even bother crewing the MSC if its pushed up to 11.0? Like seriously? France’s 10.7 lineup wasn’t even FRENCH until the MSC came along and now its back to being only Leo 2s from the Netherlands. I might as well just skip straight to the production leclercs.

Because the German vehicles are too cool and many people like them, it has resulted in these vehicles having a very high KD.
Another point is that they hate Germany

That shit is diabolical. Gaijin can’t decide whether vehicles should perform under historical circumstances or under ideal circumstances. My favorite 6.7 vehicles get an engine nerf due to wartime constraints yet the Yak-9K gets a bullshit APHE round for a cannon that IRL would break the airframe.

Given my luck, the next update will bring back the brittle armor debuffs that were removed because Gaijin decided to balance vehicles based on ideal circumstances.

No. Artificial stabilizer nerfs should not be used to balance vehicles. Stabilizers should be kept realistic to how they perform in real life, and the XM800T’s stabilizer would NOT only work at low speeds.

USS Newport News 6.7 to 6.3 in realistic and arcade battles.
Reason: ship lacks adequate anti-air, armor is lower compared to other heavy cruisers, and is overall more of a sidegrade to its 6.3 counterparts in the United States. Furthermore, this ship struggles especially when facing 7.7 vessels such as Scharnhorst and her sister.

dude the bmp3 is the best light tank of 9.0 if you cant make it work then its massive skill issue sorry

Could just leave the ADF (E) in a folder with the F-16A and have the F-16A ADF (L) be out of the folder. That seems the most realistic without looking odd. Or you can just make it a triple folder like the A6M3- which ironically the BR gaps fit this criteria.

4.0 > 4.3 > 5.0 is the same difference in steps as 12.3 > 12.7 > 13.3.

I am simply stating the fact that the BMP-3 autocannon is significantly worse (rate of fire, dispersion, damage) than the BMP-2, and the ATGM reload speed does not allow it to respond to the enemy in the event of a war thunder moment.

Turm III

8.3–>8.7/9.0

One of the most OP tanks in the game. Basically being a leopard A1A1 sudegrade, not having darts, but having a 5s autoloader and 30mm autocannon instead

And as one good 8.3 premium mbt got moved up, why can’t another even better one?

Same br as scimitar lol

2S38 should honestly go to 11.0 - 11.3 in both ground AB and RB, its literally a better HSTV-L with a faster reload, more shell variety, and better armor, not to mention an uncrewed turret makes it a hulled down monster. 10.3 was horrific and 10.7 isnt much better, this thing can probably easily stand its own at a higher BR given how little skill is needed to absolutely shred other 10.7 vehicles. also who in their right mind would ever play top tier ground arcade.

What I meant was baiting in the mods to clear spam but ok

Gamemode: Ground RB
Vehicle: 2S38
BR: 10.3 > 11.0

2S38 should be moved up to 11.0 or at least 10.7. Its one of the best light tank in the entire game. Because of its insane flexibility. It can easly kill planes, helis and tanks. When it comes to killing planes and helis Its more effective then some 10.3 SPAA. But the 2S38 can also kill ground and even gets a recon drone.

Its even better than the HSTV-L (11.7) in some aspects. With its higher fire rate and more ammo. The only real advantage of the HSTV-L is lower profile and its armor. EVEN THE DART IS ALMOST THE SAME!!! But right now the difference in BR between the 2 is 1.3.

Another indication of how broken it is is that even the most competitive squadrons (Like AVR) still regularly bring it to top tier 13.0 squadron battles.

Gamemode: Air RB
Vehicles & BR:
F16A → 12.7 (same as netz)
F16OCU 13.7 → 13.3 (same as mlu and adf)
F16AM 13.7 → 13.3 (same as mlu and adf)
F18A 12.3 → 12.7
F18C early 12.7 → 13.0 (with 9m)
F18C late Finnish 14.0 → 13.7 (the version before mlu2 without hmd)
Mirage20005f → 13.7 ( this plane is a 13.7, it has a br bigger than su27sm, f15(m) and gripen C is ridiculous).
Su34 →13.3 (this plane will not survive in 13.7)

It could go down too, it’s also pretty bad
