I mean the leclercs are better, but they are discussed more because France doesnt have the best wheeled tank in the game(best by a huge margin), and one of the best wheeled IFV to be an alternative
Might as well give it thermals, put it in at 10.0, and rename it to Strela-10M3(which I do think have a thermal)

by the gods, BUFF the armor of the Merkava tank! It is very annoying that you are easily destroyed when you face Germany and the Leopard tanks that fire the DM53 model cannon, especially when it hits the upper armor of the Merkava tank, you have no chance, I emphasize, no chance to face the Leopard tank if you have a Merkava tank because with one shot from the Leopard tank to the upper armor of the Merkava, all the tank crew are gone. It is very ridiculous and illogical that there is no effect of bending the bullet to the upper armor of the Merkava! Compare the armor around the barrel of the Leopard with the Merkava! You are gone with one shot to any part of the upper armor of the Merkava, while the armor around the barrel of the Leopard has high resistance and the ability to bend your shot to this part, while the design of the upper armor of the Merkava has the probability of bending the shot due to the special shape it has.

If the information about the specifications of a tank is confidential, should the development team design a tank that is stronger than the others? If it is confidential, there should at least be a balance between the specifications of the tanks. The Merkava 4M tank, which everyone knows is a modern tank, definitely does not have weak armor! If you do not have accurate information about the armor specifications of a tank, at least do not ignore the other features that are logical, like the one I mentioned. According to the turret armor design of the Merkava 4, it should have the ability to deflect bullets or at least reduce the power of the bullet penetrating into the armor and cause less damage to the tank crew! and the last thing thats not logical to me and beyond the philosophy of putting engine in that suppose to add more armor but IT DIDNT DO ITS JOB. PLZ RESPECT TO OUR PASSION ABOUT OUR BELOVED GAME. GAME IS TOOL TO CALM US DOWN AND HAVE FUN TIME NOT JUST SCREAM AND YELLING AT NONSENSE GAMEPLAY OR MECHANICS IN GAME! PLZ RESPECT US
Definitely, either move up CS4 to 12.0, or lower CS5 to 11.7 as well. With the new BR brackets in sim, 11.7 is becoming the new meta and we can’t have the best jet at 11.7 (along with F14) be an unattainable event vehicle. It’s also super unfair to the French mains who grinded the CS5, and hence avoided the CS4 event vehicle since they were essentially identical

Gotta move strela to 10.0 or more.
I think Gaijin has this regular purge in BR and it seems that the player base who are getting tired across the board with BR, Map Making, Map rotation and maybe CAS issues are finally saying “Hang on lets challenge this habit of shifting BR and destroying line ups and vehicle effectiveness.”
Does it matter in game play terms if an old vehicle is 4.3,4.7 or 5BR ? When moving it matters so much in regard to line ups and the ability to even field one in some nations?
Are some players rebelling against the same ol same ol every time. Another Line up destroyed and another nation unplayable.
Just stop doing it unless a vehicle is recent and genuinely out of place.

Even at 10.0 it is still extremely competitive. There is no logic behind increasing the Type 81 by 1.0, but only increasing the Strela by .4. Both of these were equally as overpowered for their associated BR, arguably the Strela being more overpowered in it’s associated BR because of the lack of aircraft with flares
Since i saw a few people whining about the 2S38.
It should not be moved up because its already mediocre were it is. Reasons:
While it has no armor and all the crew is conveniently lined up to be one-shot, It DOES NOT have more speed than MBTs as it rarely reaches the km/h that is on its stat card.
So we have a paper IFV with the speed of an MBT, crew lineup like sardines, its APFSDS is very bad at post pen spalling as it is affected by the HSTVL/Otomatic nerf of the past.
It cant flank and take forward positions before MBTs, cant pen MBTs frontally and even if one gets on the flank of enemy tanks, due to the caliber nerf one gonna have to pump a good few shots into the target before it goes boom.
Same with APHE, as i have experienced against Chinese mbt’s. I got on the flank, placed the aphe right under the turret, and the post pen, despite being APHE was the equivalent of a wet fart.
Begleitpanzer, Swedish 40mm IFV’s are all better than the 2S38 and i dont see any of you complaining about them !
Thus this 2S38 hysteria is not more than “i got killed pls nerf” bandwagoning by people that dont have it.

Well, I never played the strela but I always bully them in the mangustas, so I am not sure if they are a huge threat. It is a pain in the ass to deal with them in fixed wings, but it seems like wiping out AAs with hellfires then get onto fixed wings is the plan
I saw the 2S38 as more of an annoyance than actual threat, they should be like 10.3 but anywhere higher is silly. I do dislike the tank because I own the OTOMATIC, but I never had a lot of trouble dealing with these things.
It is more of a frustration when getting killed by these things. If the 2S38 is a TT vehicle, say, foldered with the 2S25M, it will receive a lot less backlash.

Well you can deal with the SAV with a bit of addon armor(well)
Moving the OF-40 up with the current max ground br of 11.7 is terrible as the jump from 8.0 to 8.3 essentially gives every mbt a stab except france. And moving the leo back down also isnt a good idea as it would be the same br as the M48

Cant get that thing. I would be happy if I get a free KV-1E/B
I like that idea but then 10.3s would be fighting 11.7s. Perhaps if they received improved ammunition, it would work better. The M1 and 2A4 at least are missing their primary historical rounds so I’ll add that.
Gaijin good changed BR for F9F-5 Panther and not suffer in Air RB
@Stona_WT I hope gaijin consider reduce Venom FB.4 to 8.3 BR for Air AB & Air RB and change to 8.7 in Air SB, and gaijin won’t forget this

BMP-1’s main armament is 9M113 ATGM and 2A28 is just secondary to that (unless you are stock) and using those 2 you can send a projectile every 3s. The konkurs ATGM has 500mm of pen where 2a28 grom has only 300mm. And because pbv 501 doesnt have any other armament like BILL or RB52 it’s capabilities and rate of fire are limited. So if you compare pbv 501 to russian BMP-1 it has lower fire rate, lower hit probability (because konkurs is SACLOS) and much lower penetration.[quote=“OliverXRed, post:1107, topic:67713, full:true”]
- Pbv 501
6.7 → 7.3
It is a BMP-1 at a whole BR lower. I mean, normally the cannon is also the main armerment of the BMP-1, and that performs very well with that cannon at 7.7, however somehow this sits at 6.7, with exactly the same cannon. It just doesn’t make sense why this is so low of a BR.

HEAT-FS is not the best ammo at 8.0 because its br when ERAs starts to show and because it doesnt have stabilistaion the cannon is not ready to fire for that 2s so that makes it to being exposed for far longer than needed so it cant hide effectively. And engagementsover 600m are rare and due to recent changes to maps it even rarer. And when I’m playing this thing I would see it at 7.0.
The problem with sav is literally because its at 3.7. IMO its 3.7 capable, any higher would make it useless with 95mm of pen, but at 3.7 people are quite new to the game so people who spent money and have this hidden premium are usually much more experienced and there are countless of times when I baited new players to peek me by abusing autoloader. So with that logic lets put BT-5 at 2.3 because it can reign havoc when used right. same with sherman III/IV, no gun port is just skill issue, most new players at this br just shoot tanks and not looking for weak spots
No it doesnt its just like the suggestion that I mentioned, it seems like veteran bias, usually people who have those vehicles are veterans who know how to use this thing at br where people dont know what are they doing (pretty much why a6m5 ko going up in br), so in the end it seems like its super good and OP but in reality if that player would take any other plane like p51 it would get more kills than it did in p59. And when new/seasoned player lay hands on it, he probably will get only 1 kill, so there is nothing to write story about.
To the rest of your suggestion I can’t make an argument and/or I think the same

ASG on 11.0 is totall nonsense(it will be soo bad!) even with 833 its kinda poor shell tho, and what about CCVL it will stay on 10.0?? With 833 TOO??? F15 staying si joke too… And ofc im not talking about destroying Japan AAs again…

They can be for sure but that’s true of any vehicle, air or ground. The Tram and A10 are the easiest things to kill, Super slow and not that dangerous unless your team is lacking in AA support. I main Russia and if there in the air it’s a free kill. Unlike the faster, lower flying jets they can be a pain to get rid of
