Air RB, Ju 388 J. 4.3 > 3.0
This is an event vehicle and was never popular, so after one BR change from 4.7 to 4.3, this aircraft was forgotten. This aircraft needs a drastic reduction in its BR because the BR at which it was introduced was extremely overrated. In short, it is a slightly better Ju 88 C-6, which is at 2.3.
detailed reason (very important for everyone who has never played this aircraft):
It’s a slow and heavy aircraft with average weapons for its size and low ammo capacity, even compared to light aircraft. The Ju 88 C-6 (2.3) is very similar and suffers from the same issues. Both have downward-angled guns and their rudder is bad for vertical aiming. Just a little maneuvering by the enemy makes it impossible for you to hit them. Compared to the Ju 88 C-6, the Ju 388 J has more engine power and more powerful guns. But the drawbacks are too substantial and are cumulating in a very negative way:
examples
Downward-angled guns + low-velocity 30 mm
Two bad factors that make each other even worse.
Downward-angled guns + weak rudder
It is already harder to aim horizontally. Most players will not engage in a head-on with the Junkers, so you have to try to hit them while they are evading (vertical aiming). Because your rudder is too weak to make quick adjustments, you have to roll your aircraft. Now imagine trying to aim a downward-angled gun while rolling. Hitting an aircraft becomes almost impossible.
Low and rare chances of hitting an aircraft + low ammo per gun
Two conflicting limitations: You have to take every small chance of landing a hit, but you can’t spare the ammo for it.
All that comes on top of the low speed, climbrate, turnrate and rollrate.
All the peculiar limitations of these aircraft and their role in the game as bomber-hunters that can’t hunt bombers due to a way too low airspawn and horrible climb rate still apply. Even with an airspawn, fighters that take off from the airfield will reach bomber height twice as fast! So you are forced to fight the fighters, which can always easily avoid you. Overall, the improvements of the Ju 388 J over the Ju 88 C-6 are small and don’t affect the aircraft’s performance by much.
PS: Don’t get fooled by the stat card of the Ju 388 J:
Two of four 20mm cannons with 400 rounds are “Schräge Musik” (in WT, dead weight).
612 km/h at 10,600m!!! - the game doesn’t even last long enough to reach that altitude. At lower altitudes, your speed is very similar to that of the Do 217 N or Ju 88 C-6.
Please don’t ignore this post and don’t forget about the existence of these aircraft.
Ground Realistic Battles > T20 6.3 >6.0 (The T20 is a USA medium tank at battle rating 6.3 currently, it deserves to go down in br as it has the same firepower as a 5.3 sherman tank, with similar armor and mobility, it´s only strength is it´s good gun handling but against 6.7 and 7.0 tanks this tank is basically a sherman.
Air Realistic:
F-4J (UK) 12.0 > 11.7, it is slower than the other British Phantoms while retaining a worse load out than the F-4J and F-4S
Eurofighter all 14.0 > 14.3, it is unbelievably better than everything around its br and makes jets at 13.0 unplayable
Rafale C F.3R 14.0 > 14.3, same as above
Yes! Don’t listen players, who are asking you to revert F-14 A IRIAF changes! Best FOX-3 missile from 2018 SHOULD be on 13.0! This aircraft is absolute cancer for 12.0 and 12.3 aircrafts and also doesn’t allow you to go BWR without a good enough RWR.
You also forgot to mention that it gets worse APDS than Gepard and company and it’s main belt only has 7mm of penetration, which struggles to kill even very lightly armored vehicles.
One of, if not the most powerful tank for its BR. It is not uncommon for it to being able to get 10 kills without getting killed once. It is very hard to contest the vehicle, since it has so much armor as it currently have at its BR, which also is very easy to angle to deflect enemy shots.

Mode: Air RB
Vehicle: F-16A Block 10 Netz
BR Change: 12.7 → 12.3
Reason: It’s basically the same as American F-16A Block 10. Python-3 is a minimal difference. Wherever the American Block 10 goes, the Netz should also go.
Abrams is outright superior to the leclerc what are you on? It has a better shell, it’s more survivable and has actual usable armor hull down. The leclercs are more equivalent to 11.7 Abrams over 12.0 Abrams. The only benefit the leclerc really gets is mobility. The autoloader benefits it as much as it hinders it. In good hands the Abrams is the 2nd best tank class after the leopards, there isn’t a scenario where it would be bad. It’s a jack of all trades, use it as such.
Vehicle: Mi-8AMTSh-VN
Game mode: Ground Realistic
BR change: 11.0 → 10.7
Reason: This helicopter have a big silhouette and a lot less ordinance (4x Ataka and 4x Verba) than it’s counterparts at the same BR or even lower like: A129CBT, Mi-35M, Mi-28N, EC-665 HAD.
It is wildly outclassed by most of what it faces. The only reason it did well in the first place is because American players would turn fight it- but it now lacks the engine power to even try and keep up with the pace of the 6.3 Prop planes. This change could presumably go to all the zeros- however I am targeting the one I play by far and large the most for sake of ease.
Ground Realistic, M60A1 RISE (P). 8.7>8.3 currently in the US TT (and premiums) the m60a1 RISE (P) is the only tank to sit at 8.7 and has no lineup to go with it that would not force either its lineup to be uptiered to 8.7, or the tank itself to be uptiered to 9.0. along with this the only real difference that the Rise has compared to the AOS is its ERA and its APFSDS which differs from the AOS’s sabot with less than 30mm of extra pen
no reason for this change it has serious troubles at currently BR in 11.3 it will suffer even more and we have others similar vehicles in 10.7/11.0 BR, if gaijin really wants to increase its BR at least should buff its armor.
