Nice to see decompression around the 9.3 area, but in my opinion 8.0 needs it too. Just compare T-54 (1949) with Type 69 or ZTZ59 for example at the same BR (the former missing a stab, lrf and compared to the type 69 also a slow turret while otherwise almost the same chassis). Also there is the much superior TO-55 at the same BR.
Other example:
Magach 3 and 5 with the latter having APFSDS and ERA over it
8.0 area is just extremely compressed.
Edit: Also new 12.0 is also still compressed with for example Leo 2A7 and Leo 2A5 still at the same BR.
So a BR cap raise to at least 12.7 is needed for ground battles.
Are BR changes for Simulator battles planned as well? Would love to see the Su25SM3 get lowered a bit, i dont see any reason why it should be 12.3 in air sim while so many other planes at 11.3-11.7 are faster and pretty good with ground strike capability.
25t tank → HEAT-FS (M431 shell)
historically the Bat 25T and the AMX 50/90 can load all the ammunition of the Patton M47, this would transform them into a Swiss Army knife, a fast tank that can handle a lot of tanks in its BR without excelling and without stabilizer.
Simulator, MiG-29. 12.7 > 13.0.
Reasoning: Worse FOX2 (R60M) should not be deciding factor with this plane. Its main workhorse is the R-27ER, which you get 90 % kills with and that missile is just too strong against 11.7 planes.
CV9030FIN 9.3 to 8.7 its to worst IFV on ita BR in the game. The 300mm busmaster doesn’t deal enough damage and the firerate is bad. Its not as mobile as most IFVs and armor… I mean its a light vehicel.
OR add 2 Aim 9L(i-1) missiles to them.
The phantoms are effectively faster and carry more versatile A2G ordinances, yet Japanese ones are about to be at a lower BR. This is insanity as a slew of Mig 21Bis are heading down as well.
it is NOT a lav ad analog, more like a stormer ad analog, and 8.7 should fit them both. What makes the lav ad 10.0 is the freaking hydras it carries (plus it’s mobility), not it’s AA capabilities…
Q-5L 9.3 → 10.7
Give it PL-5B at make it the same BR as A-5C. It can’t be that 2 planes sit at the same BR in ARB with no differences, but only A2G weaponary

Any plans to add M829A3, you guys mentioned it 10 months ago, and since the HC now gets the A2, makes not sense that the seps, get a .3 increase just because they have better thermals.
4sec heatfs slingers with great mobility, would go to 8.7 instantly unfortunately. An apcr wouldn’t be too much tho, and would allow them to be competitive at their current br.
Naval, Scharnhorst. 7.0 > 7.7. Naval battles need BR decompression immediately .It is very ridiculous that Scharnhorst and Novorossiysk are at the same BR and are only 0.3 higher then Imperatritsa Mariya.
ARB, F8U-2. 10.0 > 10.3. I mean, there are like a gazillion video about why this thing is actually god tier now after it got buffed.
Overall pretty decent attempt to actually decompress stuff. Why are they moving the 2 su7 up when imo they are basically worse mig 19. Also Narwhale 262 is 6.3 now which is interesting. Also also, kinda funny that they didn’t touch the f8u and j7e.
