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
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.
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.
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.
Air Realistic Battles, Yak-3 (all). 4.3 (4.0) → 4.7 (4.7)
Standard Yak-3 is too good for their BR. They are better than all other aircrafts they face in every aspect, except dive speed. I am including the premium Eremin’s Yak-3(e) in this list too as the removal of 1 UB machine gun can not justify the difference in the BR with the regular tech tree version.
Vehicle - OTOMATIC
Mode - Ground Battles
BR - 11.3 > 10.7
Reasoning: The OTOMATIC is severely underperforming at it’s BR because it simply cannot shoot down the current CAS planes it meets at and around it’s BR. Even in real life it only had an effective range of around 4km, which FAR exceeds the effective range of any strike aircraft over 10.7. Comparing the OTOMATIC to the 2S38 which is believed to take on the same role IRL, it lacks radar, but has a huge magazine (whereas the OTOMATIC can only shoot 29 rounds before having to reload), unlimited anti-armor ammunition (OTOMATIC has only 12 APFSDS shells available), better thermals, better mobility, much smaller size, laser warning system and the benefits of a light tank (Scouting and UAV).
Air realistic, Fw 190 A-5 (Japan), 4.7>4.3 . Reason German Fw 190 A-5 is moving down so this one should too probably. Wish every time u post a change you check what other versions of vehicles could be also moved based on their characteristics would save people time posting and you time reading.
F-14 IRIAF: The Sniper in a Knife Fight
:
You’re flying a Cold War legend in a lobby full of UFOs (looking at you, Gripen an typhoon and rafale). Those Phoenix missiles? They’re like firing spears in a gunfight—awesome at range, but the second someone closes in, you’re sweating. Hot engines? You’re basically a flareless Thanksgiving turkey for IR missiles. And 20G Fox 3s? Against jets pulling 15G+ turns? It’s like trying to hit a squirrel with a slingshot.

1500kh speed at 12.3 is really impressive but it rip at that speed so meh you’ve got Magic IIs in a world of Python 3s and R-73s. Your Super 530Ds? Great… r27 and aim7 are meta there if the enemy doesn’t know what the notch key is im dead. And that radar? It’s like trying to catch smoke with a butterfly net
