[UniqueScorpions]

Su-25SM3 12.3 → 11.7 ASB

[AllNationEnjoyer]

I love facing r73 in sim

@LilithIriss

Fully autoloader howitzer

its not, its a faster ready rack of 3 rounds after that veryyyy logn reload

@LilithIriss

surprising survivability.

missing spalliners

Generaly the chinese PLZ05 is still stronger overall

@Necronomica

Balancing is based on vehicle performance (which i have understood to be mission score per spawn IIRC

It’s based on

@Stona_WT

Battle Ratings are decided based on how much a vehicle earns, but this is not purely economical. We use this metric because it’s all encompassing and considers every action a player makes with their vehicle, so this considers frags, assists, caps, and effectively every useful action a vehicle can perform all bundled into one universal metric.

And,

@Stona_WT

However this is not purely a data driven process, we often consider additional factors such as the volume of players using a certain vehicle, its lineup, new features that may be altering performance in different ways etc — and this often leads us to delay a change we otherwise would have made to gather more information. Even though we do primarily go by this efficiency metric, we aren’t bound by it, and spend a lot of time each Battle Rating cycle to look over feedback for different perspectives and elements we may not have initially considered.

The A-10C is 11.7, and they are equal

[AllNationEnjoyer]

I think the A-10C should be higher.

[SeniorSpaz87]

How about Simulator Enduring Confrontation? Can we please either see some of the 13.3 aircraft (specifically those lacking Fox-3s like the SU-27, J-11, and SU-33) drop to 13.0 so they’re actually playable, or a new BR rotation that is 13.7-14.0, again giving these aircraft some time to shine? Currently they can only be in a full uptier facing 14.0s tossing half a dozen Fox-3s, which they just cant compete with.

[UniqueScorpions]

I agree.

Su-25SM3 and A-10C → 12.0. A-10C is 11.7 and is equal or marginally better while being lower br

[両儀_式]

J-7D to 11.0 , why is this thing still at 10.7 is beyond me

[AllNationEnjoyer]

Money

[Space_Cat]

Can we lower the Mig-29G?

[DeadlyTrooperx]

You see this? lahatut was already unplayable heli and now i cant even do anything about it since a way larger range spaa can just shoot me down out of the sky

[Dontkev]

Leopard 2A5
RB
12.0 → 11.7/11.3
While stile being an good tank, its not even close to an Leopard 2A7V which sits at the same BR but with an MUCH better Gun, MUCH better TVD, maybe gave it an worse dart, but as now the Premium Leopard 2A4M CAN feels MUCH better than the 2A5 due to having MUCH better TVD at an lower BR

[Ion_Protogen]

@Busheedoh

Subsonics shouldn’t face oppressive supersonics like the F-104

So the best subsonics get to club everything below them?

@Busheedoh

FOX-1 based aircraft shouldn’t face FOX-3 spam.

12.0 Mig-29G incoming, but this is just a bad and too black and white.

@Busheedoh

Aircraft with massive performance differences shouldn’t be .3 BRs apart!!! (I’m looking at you EF-2000 and F-15E!)

They are the same BR and roughly equivalent planes.

@Busheedoh

MiG-29 without R-73s is still a crime in my eyes, considering the plane and missile were practically built for each other.

You can’t give the A R-73s without making the 29G irrelevant.

[Dontkev]

Leopard 2A5 PSO
RB
12.0 → 11.7/11.3
While stile being an good tank, its not even close to an Leopard 2A7V which sits at the same BR but with an MUCH better Gun, MUCH better TVD, maybe gave it an worse dart, but as now the Premium Leopard 2A4M CAN feels MUCH better than the 2A5 PSO due to having MUCH better TVD at an lower BR

[AllNationEnjoyer]

It shouldn’t be lowered.

[AllNationEnjoyer]

Why would the 2a5 belong lower than the hordes of much worse tanks at the same BR already? If 2A5 goes to 11.7 or god forbid 11.3 I want the ariete AMV to be 10.3 to accurately reflect the damn difference between them…

[Армата34]

We need all Eurofighters, the Rafale, and every other 4.5th generation to go up in BR to something like 14.3 because aircraft like the F-4F KWS LV and Mirage 4000 are facing them in full uptier, and this is a quite unfair battle to say the least.

[AllNationEnjoyer]

@Ion_Protogen

They are the same BR and roughly equivalent planes.

I think they mean those two are way better than the rest? I would include Ralph in that but otherwise I agree

[EnglishTeaKett1e]

For god sake, we need more decompression, both at top tier and around 10.0 for Air. Some of these planned changes here actually revert some of the decompression adjustments that Gaijin have been doing, especially regarding platforms with all-aspect IR missiles fighting flareless planes.
