RB
A6M3 Model 22 Ko, A6M5, A6M5 Ko: 5.0 → 4.7
A6M5 Otsu: 5.3 → 4.7
All late A6Ms are hopelessly outclassed at their current battle ratings, relying on enemy players making severe mistakes in order to get any kills due to their lowest-in-class speed, climb rate, and altitude performance.
Ground realistic, Pantsir-S1. 11.7 > 12.0.
Since its release the Pantsir has been a bar above every other SPAA vehicle in game, and its BR should reflect this by being a step higher. There are many 10.7 aircraft that can currently face the Pantsir that simply just cannot compete.
I am glad to see Merkavas and Arietes getting reload buffs, as well as many of the new shells;
But 12.0 is insufficient decompression. Ground trees should be decompressed, at the very least, to 12.7; and, ideally, up to 13.0 and even 13.7.
It is also extremely disappointing not to see ANY decompression in naval at all; the most compressed game mode in the entire game.
Why are ships like North Dakota or Dreadnought not even a full BR away from ships like Mutsu, Amagi or Scharnhorst?
ARB, F-14A IRAF. 12.3 > 13.0.
There is ZERO reason the IRAF should be at the same BR as the vanilla F-14A, as the Fakour-90s have superior practical range to every missile in game and the R27s perform better than AIM7-Fs at close range.
I suggest giving the IRAF access to the R-73s which it could carry, and if necessary give it a digital RWR since they claimed to upgrade its systems.
Finally some reasonable change for us french player 👌
Even 12.3 would be totally fine by me. But Leopard 2A5/6 shouldn’t be same BR as 2A7V, and 2A7V shouldn’t be same BR as M1A2, Merkava Mk. 4, Leclerc, etc
J35XS 11.3 → 10.7
It is just a minor upgrade over J35D which sits at 10.3, having flares and 2 more missiles.
RB
J7W1: 6.0 → 5.0, possible addition of Interceptor air spawn
The J7W1 has an extremely poor flight model, which combined with its high weight results in a “fighter” that is extremely unmaneuverable at most speeds, with a horrible climb rate. Its 30mm cannons have also been nerfed severely in recent times, so its firepower is no longer as reliable as it once was.
Its high weight also results in poor acceleration and an unimpressive top speed which is insufficient to outrun many, more maneuverable fighters.
How? It doesn’t have the same radar or A2A lethality as the AV-8B+.
Simulator, Mirage 2000C-S5. 12.3 > 13.0.
Reasoning: It is simply way too OP currently. Comparable plane to the Mig-29G, if not better. It has to go up to 13.0 at least.
One vehicle per comment. Please edit your comment.
If you want to suggest more, please post another comment.
A really good list of changes! None of these are bad!
ARB, F-J(UK). 12 > 11.3
Reasoning: Completely uncompetitive with its peer at the same BR, the F-4S. Inferior weapons, handling & radar.
I was lumping them all in as they largely have the same performance (exact same engine, small airframe changes) and identical armament.
Of course I can do that as well.
quick question, would a “Challenger 2 (all)” post be valid or would it need a post for every vehicle in the family?
Simulator, Ariete (plane). 9.3 > 10.0.
Reasoning: Either correct the infinite energy UFO flight model or raise BR.
hey stona, no sim battle change?
Plane Ariete to 9.0 please in Realistic and Ground Realistic Battles
Decompress the BRs again. many 13.0 and 13.3s shouldnt be going down compared to the 13.7s that should be going up ideally to 14.3 across the board.
I think we should also reduce the combat rating of the f-20 from 12.7 to 12.3 in realistic battles
