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

Especially when you consider the devs own words:

it’s all part of decompression because apparently Gaijin wants each aircraft to have its own post… most 13.0s will be 13.7 by the time I’m done.
C1 Ariete (WAR)
11.7—>11.3 GRB
Reason: The Ariete at this day and age doesnt fit its current BR as the M1A2 is at the same br while being better in every way except for thermals. Along with one of the worst ammo layouts
Remove DM53 and the 5 second reload if need be.

M1A1
11.3–>11.3
Remove 5 second reload: The 5 second reload on this abrams makes the IPM1 all but useless since it has the same reload and way less firepower in comparison

IPM1
11.3 → 11.0 or → 11.3
Reason: Currently it shares its br with the now better M1A1 since the M1A1 got a reload buff to 5 seconds while retaining better firepower and having an equal reload. The IPM1 currently would fit better to the 11.0 bracket
or just remove the 5 second reload from the M1A1 specifically and keep it 11.3

AV-8B+ (US/IT)
13.0>13.3
Reasoning: Moving ARH carriers up as part of decompression
1 Like
Yep, agreed, none of the Abrams should have gotten 5 second reload. If they are going to use reload rate to balance tanks, then it should have kept 6 second reload like the Leopard 2A7s did
Yes, this patch famously moved almost exclusively the vehicles which didn’t need to be moved given their reasoning and almost exclusively forgot the ones that did.
Don’t let my suggestion deter you from making one @Morvran , the more suggestions on the same vehicle the better.
F-14A
12.7>13.0
Reasoning: part of decompression, 4th gen and ARH too

Yeah… Especially stupid when you look at Sim as well. The Hunter F6 (france) which has a better engine, better wing and 2x Aim-9Bs is the same BR as the Hunter F1. Whilst the J-34 a Hunter F4 (so Hunter F1 with more fuel) is 9.3!
WHY GAIJIN?! WHY?!

- buff to ready rack (Should happen regardless)
Or stay 11.7 with a potential reload buff again maybe :)
