Planned Battle Rating Changes for February 2025

it does have a better round irl lol

No.

No.

Now ask me if I think either of those prior questions means the IRIAF should magically be a lower BR just because its stock grind sucks the exact same way any other vehicles’ stock grind does?

Its more about how the derbys are bad, the OCU has amraams, so at least its good on BVR.

Shard is not for french leclercs,
French didnt intent to put it into service, the shard is a pure export round

Is it the Derby’s that pull crazy off the rail or are those the MICA?

it doesnt, the DU round doesnt make a difference for war thunder
the shard has not finished development and is meaned for pure export, french tanks dont use them

No, france is testing it and leclerc xlr will use it, last time i heard about that DGA was testing it, it is not only intended for export.
edit link to the article about it.

No, not exactly. The R-77 is closer but it cannot do that as well. The derbys has pretty bad speed bleed and tends to lose more speed in a loft, denying its potential for long-range kills. They are decent close-up but stuff like MICA and PL-12 is not much worse yet are BVR capable.

My mistake, but this makes it even funnier because the IRIAF abusers got to abuse a 12.3 IRIAF (which is like, one of the strongest and most overpowered vehicles I can think of in recent history) but are still complaining.

Same BR as T-2K? That makes zero sense.

sagittario maybe, but ariete hell naw! you cant put the ariete at 9.0, its easily the best subsonic airframe in the game and its 9.3 for a reason.
also you cant compress 8.0-9.0 even more, its suffocating there already. the solution is to increase max br and decompress upwards or make .7 the max br difference.

I’m not saying it needs to be at a lower BR, but it for sure doesn’t need a higher one. Even fully spaded it it is not going to be competitive against AMRAAMS.

@Stona_WT Thank you very much for adopting and keeping informed about the ranking in simulation battles.

Everything we said adds up together.

100%a agree with you ,sagittario,sure but the ariete is perfectly fine at 9.3

It does, because fakours are too good to face 11.7 at all or 12.0 that often,it’s really that simple. It’s ok to let the IRIAF go to irrelevancy if the alternative is it dominating still and ruining 50+ vehicles time

Vehicle in question: F-104S.ASA in ARB/ASB
BR: unchanged, receives 4xAIM-9L/I as researchable modification
It was one of the most absurd top tier. Seeing how SALSA players plays it to its absolute limit, it might as well stay there and get the historical IRCCM missiles.

The only thing slightly OP about it is the 4 Farkours.
Literally the only thing you have to do to defeat it is turn 90 degrees to the side.
That’s actually it.
It also then only gets rear aspect IR missiles, easily defeatable by 1 flare.

You really think this should fly against the top tiers of the other nations…?
