I wouldn’t mind it staying the same BR, because I personally enjoy it.

True.

That would require work, and it makes the snail tired.

The Gripen has AGM 65A and it only has 4 CaS pylons, so its inferior to other CAS platforms higher in BR

Tu-4 (normal and Chinese) Air RB [8.0 > 7.7 / 7.3] Its a B-29, which is at 7.0, with somewhat better guns. It is still the same fat, slow RP bag as all heavy bombers and it has worse bombs than the B-29 + it is right now at a BR where it can get shot down by radar missles. No reason its at 8.0. Bombers suffer!

(Also for those who didn’t look over the BR changes for too long, the Tu-4 is only being changed in Ground RB. Where it is still to high. Should be same BR as B-29 because same / worse Bombs.)

Have you ever locked at 6km with a mistral? It literally never happens.
It has 4 km lock range on planes and MAYBE 3km on helicopters if you’re lucky!
Remember that the stats shown on the card are not the stats that happen ingame, it’s says it’s good but not so much

The rest i can’t say anything about

Couldn’t tell you, supposedly it has a “40km range” according to Iranian sources.

Air RB, Ju-388 J. Change airspawn from Interceptor to Air defense fighter.
The Ju-388 plays a similar role as other air defense fighters like the P-61 and Do-217N and gets outperformed by almost all interceptor of it’s BR.

Air Realistic Battles, AMX A-1A, 11.3 > 10.7. Reasoning: Su-25BM is way way better and is being moved at 11.0, amx has no irccm missiles and is quite slow. It has good missiles but only 2 and again no irccm.

A-4N Ayit (Israel)
Ground RB
9.7 > 10.0
This CAS monster got even more fire and forget ammunition than most of 10.0/10.7 CAS/attacker plane, what is the reason it’s staying at 9.7? While the vast majority of CAS plane using unguided bomb/rkts in the 9.7 BR.

GRB AV8B NA 11.7 > 11.3
AV8B NA most time fight against Rafale and EF2000.

Because LVKV has APHE

IS6 7.7 to 7.3.

Reasoning:
Only got one 7.7 match after 14 battles and god forbid having to face stabilized apds and responsive/good gun handling from other vehicles ALL THE TIME is not fun.

Also it has the obvious weakspot with just 150mm thickness and since it’s in the turret cheeks it’s always easily got shot (no way to angle or hide like in T32 machine gun port for example). Not to mention the obvious armor which i know is not too relevant, but it’s useless in this BR bracket where mobility and gun handling is more important.

And the gun. Good luck one shotting thin armored vehicles in this BR bracket while you have to be sitting duck for 16 seconds. Can’t playing safely since it only has -3 depression so you have to expose the entire vehicle.

Definitely enjoys maus and T32E1 more which is apple to apple as 7.7 heavy since they can be strong and the flaws can be managed better even in uptiers

Not related but i lost hope due to the fact that Tiger 2 can be forever 6.7 other vehicles adjusted to please german vehicles (US mediocre tanks like long jumbo at 6.3 and M26 at 6.7) explains a lot you don’t use logic in balancing.

The Aim-9M also has a “40km range” it’s completely theoretical.

Air RB J-35D 10.3 →10.0
If the J-35XS is to be lowered to 10.3, then the J-35D should be lower than it, because the J-35XS can not only carry more missiles, but also has IRST and better engines, flare。 It is obvious that they should not be in the same BR. On the other hand, there is also an F-1 with four AIM-9p that is at 10.0, so I think lowering the J-35D to 10.0 is a reasonable change.
