Basically if it is US and has a T or X designation, it’s a prototype. There’s a lot.
Skyflash has always and will always be buggy. Though it did have the nickname of SkySlug IRL. So… Not that surprising to be honest. But Ive been flying the Phantoms recently and Skyflash DFs are also really broken at the moment.
So not surprised about the TEMP
Wow, the air changes seem pretty good (besides the F-5E and mirage 2000C, F-15 also needs to move to 12.7) but, man whoever it is who approves of these changes, let alone makes them, needs to be put into another position or another department.
The ground changes are absolutely horrendously bad (as usual, been quite a long streak!).
Who in their right mind decided the stuarts should go up in BR with a 37mm.
Who in the world approved of the T20, a tank with a US 76mm with no smoke, APDS, or even APCR (as if thats good anyway) should go up to 6.3!?!? The M41 going up to 6.3 was already bad enough and it HAS APDS. This is just a maneuverable sherman and you’re expecting it to compete with Tiger IIs, Panthers, and all the way up to M48s with a US 76MM!?? It was already over-br’d at 6.0 and you’re moving it higher??? Are you all on a journey to make 100% of the US ground tree over-br’d or are you that bad at game balance??
Who thinks its ok to put the AGS at 11.0?? Its no more difficult to kill than the average Russian tank and those exist at lower BRs. The M833 is a definite help but its unnecessary; its fine at 10.7 with M774, stop making USA less and less competitive, you inch every half decent vehicle we have closer and closer to irrelevancy.
Why not make actually good changes like giving the M1 Abrams M833 instead of giving it to the AGS and moving it up in BR?? Its only reasonable to let a 10.3 tank have 10.3 appropriate ammunition.
Why not give the XM-1, now one of the worst top tier premiums in the game for a multitude of reasons, M774 at the very least? Let alone its missing smoke launchers. Its 9.3, let it have ammunition that is appropriate for 9.3, that being M774 at the absolute minimum.
Why not move the MBT-70 and XM-803 down to 8.7 where they belong now with their horrendously bad ammunition? There are a multitude of 8.7 tanks that are better in nearly every way. Even the Kpz-70 could be considered for 8.7, though it can be justified for 9.0.
Why not move the T29 down to 6.7 where it belongs, its a US Tiger II (SLA) equivalent, yet sits at a higher BR?!
Why not move the A2D-1 down to 6.7 where it belongs, where it used to be?? Its a plane with 6.7 performance at 7.0 for no good reason other than its statistics were heightened due to spam. All it has to compensate for it is a massive bomb that shouldnt be allowed in Ground RB anyway?
Who makes these horrendous decisions and who approves them??? Its bad enough that you still use “statistics” to balance the game which you prove through actions alone time and time again DOESNT WORK, nor do you understand how to make it work.
Almost 90% of the US ground tree is over-BR’d and you all make it worse with every single BR update, and other nations who are in similar poor conditions also get knee-capped in the process as well. One of few good tanks in the French tree, the Somua is also going up. Its not good in full uptiers and its very good in full downtiers, while being strong AT BR and now you’re making it even less likely to see its own BR by moving it up. Its already bad enough that it and tanks like it can face fully stabilized APDS/HEAT slingers like the TURM III which are better in nearly every way, at a PARTIAL uptier.
Please revoke the ground changes and put even a little thought into it. STOP using “statistics” to balance the game, it doesnt work nor does anyone at Gaijin seem to know how to use it properly to make decisions. You all have released consistently bad BR changes for almost 3 years now. Quit and take the time to change the way you do them so they can be better and actually listen to the community and experienced players.
A great example is the significant lack of the TURMS-T, 2S38, and BMP-2M not being raised in BR most likely because your “statistics” claim they do bad, yet in reality they belong at 10.3 (TURMS), and 11.0+ (2S38 & BMP-2M) respectively if you ask anyone who actually plays and understands the game. You also don’t move the Strela up to 10.7-11.0 where it belongs but you move the Type 81??

I’ll tell you how it’ll be… Obsolete… 11.0 means you are going to be facing 12.0 basically in every match… Played 30 matches with it the other night and got 28/30 11.7 matches… So you will basically face Mig-29s and F-16s with only 2 bad missiles and 27 pops of countermeasures and a top speed of mach 1 when these can go 1.5… Good luck catching them and good luck running away from them… if it was only against 11.0 planes it would be fine… I say the Matchmaking is the problem, not the BR… It doesn’t matter what BR you are playing, you are getting uptiered most of the time… It’s not right for a 10.3 to be in a 9.3 match and it’s not alright for a 10.3 to be in 11.3, when will Gaijin understand this? Playing against inferior planes is not fun and playing against superior planes is also not fun… What we want is to play matches with planes that are 100% competitive in their own way… Again an F-5E in 12.0 is dead in the water…
You are forgetting that a lot of 12s are moving up. and the 12.3s moving up as well will hopefully mean that 12s will face “uptiers” far more than downtiers. Meaning you’ll have 11.7-12.7 become semi the norm for those aircraft and not 11-12 like we have currently.
We’ll have to wait and see
o came on a2d-1 is illegal in ground rb
and the t29 is a bether tiger 105 and h this comment coem from using them
have you ever played a tiger 2 h?
if Type 81(C) went up the whole BR because the amazing missile, then Strela need to have the same treatment.
it even better since the photo contrast works really well with how small the seeker is, so it basically can lock any low flying helicopter better than Type 81(C)

Why is gods green earth is the t20 going up in br AGAIN it needs to be going lower not higher.

pls instead of nerfing aa can we consider buffing all the other psl
Could the FGR2 fire superTEMPs? If so those and 9Ls would make a great 11.7.
Skyflash SuperTEMPs (Tornado Embodied Modification Package) are, as you might guess by the name, only supported by the A2A Tornadoes.

sure, but the thing is gaijin decided to do the nerf now rather than buff
so nerf stuff it is.
Bummer
The changes to France are insane, the Char 25t, AMX-50, and Somua SM don’t deserve to be at 8.0 with the likes of the T-54. them even being beyond 7.3 is crazy, they shouldn’t be able to see the T-55’s
Also as far as the air br changes are concerned why was the Netz moved up to 12.3 in the past changes without receiving anything to warrant that change. I doubt it is overperforming while it only has missiles without IRCCM in a similar vein why is the Kurnass 2000 at 11.3 when the normal Kurnass is arguably much more effective while it is at 11.0

just leave ags at 10.3

it can alwais change idea rare but not impossible
is kind of op but it will stay the same at any br (i have 2.5k game on it)
that AGS change is such bullshit, I would honestly prefer to have no new round and keep it at 10.3, it has nothing to do at 11.0, even less with a 400mm pen round which is nothing for that br. slight uptier and can’t pen anything

leave the AGS where it is 11.0 is too high

Ok, so there are good and bad that I’ve seen, but I’ll separate it per the vehicle category type (very long ted talk coming right up):
Ground:
I’ll discuss the elephant in the room first being the 90mm autoloaders of the French, specifically the ones that are raised to 8.0 in BR. They shouldn’t be raised to a BR where their rounds are generally reaching the obsolete area. Especially at the price at generally removing a lot of the 7.7 line up. They were already facing tanks with stabilizers and APDS/APFSDS already before the raise, there are no reason to make them face tanks that has an even better armament than before.
Second, are the discrepancy of raising the AML-90 to 7.7, but ALSO raising the EBR '63 to 8.0. I fail to understand the logic of needing to raise the BR of the EBR '63 as well considering both the AML-90 and the EBR '63 are two vehicles with the same gimmick (being a light, fast vehicle for scouting and flanking purposes) and also barely any difference in gun performance (both uses the same round, same gun performance in all regard like reload, muzzle velocity, etc.). Even more so, there is a Light Tank that has an autoloader with faster reload and a better velocity which sacrifices some of its speed, being the AMX-13-90, which is unaffected to the changes. So, there are barely any reason or none at all to raise the EBR '63 to 8.0
Third is about the T20, which is baffling that its being raised considering that we have many 90mm M3 Cannons that are below it. Its armor doesn’t really matter too, considering most of its adversaries have good enough cannons to penetrate frontally just fine. I fail to see how it needs any raise at all to 6.3 when people can just use the T25, which is pretty much an upgrade already sitting at the same BR compared to the T20 if the change is live.
Another is Strela. I fail to see how it’s not 10.0 at the minimum considering that even the Tan-SAM was raised a whole 1.0 BR for most likely the same reason Strela is raised. Especially, in addition to the fact that the Strela is even far more convenient and better to use than many of the 10.3 SAMs thanks to the nerf to SACLOS based SAMs on how it works, especially against faster aircrafts.
As for the rest of changes, they’re generally acceptable, with only few minor things that’s a problem. Like Type 99, which is quite ridiculous to be 7.0 from the get-go with its impressive muzzle velocity and reload for a 155mm SPH.
I understand why the French SPAAs (AMX-13 DCA 40, TPK 6.41 and AMX-10P) are raised, as all of them have very good armament for SPAA work, but I do need to remind the dev team here that the entire reason these were added was to give the French more SPAAs that are spread out through its BR ranges and NOT crowd them to a specific BR range, which it does if this changes went live. My advice is to delay it until there are more SPAA for them available to add, especially for anything right after the CCKW 353 and after AMX-10P.
Lastly is just the AMX-13 (FL11). I don’t understand the fixation of trying to raise it even higher when the M24 Chaffee is untouched, and that thing is technically a better version of it, especially with the M24 having stabilizer. It also doesn’t have the mobility edge that the EBR '51 has that helps it able to use the gun well since it lacks penetration power. That’s all for my complaints for Ground.
Let’s go to Aviation:
I don’t need to talk about much, apart from the Mirage 2000. Both of the Mirage 2000 at its current BR is already quite lacking apart from its Radar, and to some degree, its mobility. In the context of Air Battles, it is extremely lacking compared to its adversaries with it having only 4 missiles max. Not only that, the Missiles in question is also lacking compared to what most of the current top tier has. Super Matra 530D is not as good as the AIM-7F/M and even worse compared to R-27R/ER, only beating the older missiles like Skyflashes and the Magic 2, even being an IR Missile with IRCCM, is lacking compared to other missiles like R-73, AIM-9M and AAM-3 in terms of flare resistance and range. Now, I did say specifically that its mobility is “to some degree” is good, but the problem is that many vehicle by that BR range all has that, especially its other Delta Wing adversary being the JAS 39 A/C, so it even lacks at that regard. So, with those in mind, it’s completely unnecessary to raise the BR of the Mirage 2000C-S5/S4 and Mirage 2000-5F unless they have better Anti-Aircraft Armaments.
Apart from that, I am happy with the decompression for Top Tier Air. I also have nothing to say for Naval as with how little changes are there.
