Air RB / F-4EJ ADTW/ 11.0>10.7
It has poor performance, bad missiles, and constantly geting to 11.7 or 12.0. It has only 2 differences form F-4C: It has Flares and a bit better missile. But they have differece +1.0 br.

Kfir canard (RB) 11.0 → 10.7

kfir canard carries 2 9Gs and has only 36 CMs, rn is sitting at a br higher than the J-7D that out performs it in every way

Tzefa B (Israel)
GRB
9.0 → 9.3
It’s basically better in every conceivable way than the Bo-105 CB-2 / HKP9A and identical performance to the AH-1E (Jp) while being at a LOWER BR. It makes no sense.

Lets address the elephant in the room again, like it is doen every single br change time

GRB, 2S38 10.3 → 10.7/11.0.

Ah mobile IFV with a big autocannon that can penetrate MBTs as well as double as a great anti air with its proxy rounds. It is an anti everything vehicle.

It does not compare performance wise to competitors at the same tier like Puma, Namer, Strf 9040C and performs a good bit better then them.

Every single time it gets brought up that the 2S38 should receive a br bump with the last one even getting 228 likes, but it doesnt get addressed

Yes it did get a “nerf” in the sense of the internals getting modelled more, but it was just as much a buff cause it now has an unlimited ready rack with a gun that doesnt overheat

It should finaly get its br bump it deserves

Vehicle: Phantom F-4J(UK)
Gamemode: Air Realistic and Air Simulator
BR Change: ARB: 12.0 ----> 11.7 ASB: 12.0 —>11.3
Reason: It is an identical airframe to the F-4J(US) but unlike it does not have the Agile Eagle or HMD upgrades, lowering its performance notably. It is one of the weakest 12.0 aircraft in RB at the moment and doesnt belong at 12.0.

In Sim, its equivalent TT aircraft are currently at 11.3 and there is no justification for it to be at 12.0 given it is weaker than both with less CMs, weaker engines and a weaker RWR

Looks like we need 229 like this time ^^

Vehicle in question: Thai subtree attackerrs
Game modes: all
BR changes: none, but moved to the locations of ex-R2Y2 branch(4th)
Following the R2Y2’s removal, it would be the best idea to collect Thai CAS aircrafts onto the branch which contains Japanese CAS.

GRB, Sidam 25, 8.3 > 7.3.

Reasoning : Sidam 25 as of right now is the worst SPAA at it’s br. Having no radar, bad gun velocity and engagement range, aswell as poor mobility and meh irst, it’s near-unusable at this BR.

R2Y2 (rb) 8.0 → 7.3
has similar performance to other 7.3s so they should be moved down

Vehicle: Harrier Gr1
Gamemode: Air Realistic & Air Sim
BR Change: 9.7 -----> 9.3
Reason: The Harrier Gr1 has no RWR and no CMs. It is extremely vulnerable to any and all attacks, especially by those with All-aspect IR missiles. The “issue” with all Harriers that make them unrealistically hot, means that the Harrier Gr1 has no chance of survival when it encounters one of these aircraft. SRAAM perfromance is also extremely limited at the moment and is one of the weakest IR missiles at that BR. When compared to aircraft even like the Harrier Gr3 which has 2x Aim-9Gs, RWR and 60CMs at the same BR, the Harrier Gr1 looses most of its value. Within sim, you are totally blind to what is going on around you and you are spottable cross map due to the incorrect sooty exhaust, in sim especially, it needs a BR drop

Alternative solution: Fix SRAAM (2km range, all-aspect and fix the buggy TVC at short range)

All the “normal” Pershings should go back down to 6.3. I dont see any reason why they should be at 6.7.

Vehicle: Buccaneer S.1
Gamemode: Air Realistic & Air Sim
BR Change: Air Realistic remain at 8.7. Air Sim 9.0 -----> 8.7.
Rank Change: Rank VI ----> Rank V
Reason: This change would enable the Buccaneer S1 to get its Air Spawn back. Unlike even later Bucs, it has a notably weaker flight performance and absolutely no A2A performance (No AAMs and no CMs). It is extremely vulnerable to any attack and rarely if ever can make it to a base to drop its bomb on target. Lowering its Rank to V would enable air spawn and fix a LOT of issues for the Buc S1

BR change in SIM is due to the lack of any sort of A2A. 9.0 places it above a lot of other aircraft when its closest equivalents are at 8.3

Vehicle: Challenger 2 (base)
Gamemode: Ground Realistic
BR Change: 11.7 ----> 11.3
Reason: It is one of the weakest tanks at top tier currently and should not be 0.3 BR lower than the extremely powerful top tier MBTs such as the 2A7V, 122 and BVM. It does not have the performance to justify it

Vehicle: Challenger 2 TES
Gamemode: Ground Realistic
BR Change: 11.7 ----> 11.3
Reason: It is one of the weakest tanks at top tier currently and should not be 0.3 BR lower than the extremely powerful top tier MBTs such as the 2A7V, 122 and BVM. It does not have the performance to justify it. In addition, it is heavier and slower than all other Challenger 2s and has overall worse performance

sea hawk (uk) (rb) 8.0 → 7.3
has similar performance to the american f2h, therefore should be the same br

Vehicle: Challenger 2 Black Night
Gamemode: Ground Realistic
BR Change: 12.0 ----> 11.7
Reason: Whilst the Black Night has a notable upgrade over the earlier Challenger 2s that justify it being 0.3 BR higher than them. It does not have the performance to match any of the top tier MBTs. It should be 0.3 BR lower than the 2A7V, 122 and BVM.

JH-7A, Air Realistic / Simulator battles, 12.3 > 12.0 / 11.7

This plane only gets 4 IR Missiles (non-IRCCM) while the fighters at same BR get SARH / ARH + IRCCM IR missiles. Furthermore, plane isn’t fast enough to outrun fighters, gun placement is awkward to get used to. This plane simply doesn’t make sense at 12.3.
