It turns out that believing in the balance of a snail is as irrational as a fish on a chopping board. Therefore, the best approach is to stay away from the paid content of the game.For example, the J35 fighter jet, which has an air superiority advantage, is not even able to match any of the F4 fighters that have chosen to dominate the skies.

Correct me if I’m wrong, then why.

ZTZ99A/WZ1001(E)/VT4A1 11.7->11.3
Reason: Poor protection, slowest reload time, only 577mm shell penetration, just recently, the main armor of the ZTZ99A was weakened by 200KE, and GAIJIN did not come up with any reason. This is not an emotionally charged report, but a fact.

As for these br changes, I look forward to playing 9.0 to 9.3 ground br battles. I hope we don’t get to face premium leo 2a4s in the future. This means XM-1, AMX-30 super, 1a1L44, C2A1, 72A, 64A, Bs and M60s will become viable again.
BMD-4 as a support vehicle to the 9.3 line up will be fun to play and yes BMP-3 as well. After a few games switch over and paly Galbatsh and Merkava1s. Then switch to XM-1 and M60 hope this become viable.
Air Realistic Battles, Milan. 9.7 > 9.3/9.0.
It cant properly bomb bases, nor can it properly fight enemy aircraft and it gets outmatched by most of the opponents at the same br as they have a better turn rate and much better missiles. The Milan doesn´t have flares and can meet R-60Ms and Aim-9Ls, which are guaranteed to destroy it.
Shameless plug. (Why not 12.3?)

F104C 9.3 → 9.7, it has 4 aim9bs, and other supersonics are moving up as well.

Genuinely awful.
How is the F8U still untouched? If Gaijin truly are changing BRs based purely on statistics then that thing should go directly to 10.7 with no questions asked, while in reality it’s not even on the list. Biggest miss in the entire table.
J-7E is also strangely absent.
Other questionable changes are the Mig-21bis and F-5C. The 21bis was incredibly competent after the first round of decompression and was only held back by the F-14 swarms which are being moved outside of 11.3 range anyway. Now it will be an absolute menace and will wield 6 all aspect missiles against flareless jets quite often (J-35D, F-4C, F-105, etc. aren’t even a full downtier away). And for the love of God, can the F-5C please not handhold wallet warriors for at least one full patch? For the first time since its release it was perfectly balanced at 11.0 and now for some reason it’s going back to clubbing 9.7s.
And why are we still balancing jets in ARB according to bomb loads? Su-7 is just a worse MiG-19 but will now sit above it. Just because people brainlessly basebomb with certain vehicles doesn’t mean they should be made unplayable for those that actually play them as fighters. In fact that only makes the problem worse and cements them as vehicles only good for killing one base and then dying. F-4C is also a victim of this.
The only changes I agree in the entire list are the A-5C and F-4EJ. And I was seriously looking forward to the next set of BR adjustments. What a fucking mess…

This is simply incorrect.
Rocket motor burn time is lower than R-60, but that is not a problem because it accelerates to insane speeds.
Also, short burn time makes it difficult for the player to see the missile.
It also has a smaller FOV than the R-60, so it is less likely to see flares when missile tracks to the target.(and that’s how some IRCCMs missiles such as R-73/Magic II works)
The range is also pretty decent, and depending on the situation, you can hit a target that is hugging near the ground, at the same speed as you, even you launched it from 3km. It is kinda impossible other missiles except AIM-9D/Gs.
It depends on the situation that PL-5B and AIM-9L ignore flares.
BTW, FOV of PL-5B is smaller than AIM-9L.
The PL-5B, literally the best rear-aspect missile, is the reason.
Delusional if you think spamming PL-5Bs against Hunter F.6, Gen’1 Harriers, MiG-21S/SPS-K, Jaguar GR.1, Milan, MiG-23BN or Su-7BMK/BKL in soon™ is good idea.
Some of them are flareless subsonic jets btw.
I literally bought the J-7D on pre-order and have been using it ever since.
At that time they suffered considerably for F-16A and MiG-29A, F-14A/B spam, but after decompression I didn’t feel any problems at all including full uptier games.
There was no need for personal attacks, even if you were one of the random guy who has skill issue just like tons of F-4S spammers.
R-3R is literally radar guided R-3S.
It literally only works against chaffless jets, and even if you were gets launched R-3R, you could still dodge it by just barrel rolling. (Also that’s what I’m doing when I’m on Mirage IIICJ and gets launched R-3R by MiG-21S)
Maybe, it would be OK in sim because R-3R launching doesn’t tell most RWRs but, you can see any missile with red diamond markers in ARB match.
If you are in an aircraft that has chaff and you get wiped by an R-3R, it means you just have massive skill issue.

Why is the F8F-1 going down to 4.7?
We do not understand how that is a lower rating than the A6M5.

ZTZ99A/WZ1001(E)/VT4A1 11.7->11.3
The reason is：the slowest loading time in the top room is 7.1, the depth of penetration is 577, the protection is leaky, a gun is dead plus GAIJIN gave 99a main armour to cut a knife which makes the protection even more leaky. 99a mobility is okay, but can’t pull the gap, and even in the cross-country terrain still can’t run but the tanks such as t80bvm. As for the vt4, I don’t want to say anything more, protection, firepower, manoeuvrability, and the pitch angle of one of the things it doesn’t deserve!

The Peten should stay at it’s current BR. It’s inferior to the Seraph at the same BR. And there is no need for two helicopters to bei at the same BR
Peten 11.7>11.3
I do agree with the Strvs and 2a7 being slightly higher than bvm 90m. Also keeping Merkavas, Arietes, M1a2s slightly lower than the Strvs and 2a7s. Of course that is if we don’t see armor increase for those tanks. How about this Strvs and 2a7 12.3, M1a2s, T-series, Leclercs etc. 12.0?
F8F should NOT go down to 4.7, if anything it should move up to 5.3. 30m/s climbrate and 660kph on the deck WITH GUNPODS does not belong anywhere near 4.7.

Yeah most apds wont damage it, l15a3 goes clean through the t55M .
Like i said at the end of the reply, the chieftain needs its historical lrf and ammo, and itll be better than them in terms of firepower.
The t55m does look sweet to use though im not far off it.
Just me that would rather see more chieftain era stuff? Like t60 modifications, t95 series of protoypes etc.
This nonsense of every update is getting newer and newer equipment while we still are missing a shed load of stuff.
Like the scimitar, scorpion, saladins etc crv series of stuff.

I personally think the 5C should of stayed 11.0 and the E go to 11.3, now were systematically heading back to compression.

The 90m and bvm should be the same br theyre more than capable enough at that br.
The merkavas, challanger 2s etc are all seriously not worthy of 12.0.
Vautours should be 8.7 and Rank 5.
Without airspawn and inferior speed to almost anything around the BR, the Vautour are a mere decoration for your hangar. It struggles even to outmaneuver Aim-9Bs at times and cant get to bases quickly enough, as it starts on the airfield.

Arcade, Rooikat 105. Keep it at 9.3 in Arcade. There is no reason this should go up to 9.7 and the Rooikat MTTD with its new DM 33 Round beeing at 9.3. Rooikat 105 would not be overpowered staying at 9.3 and keep a good lineup it fits in. Also Light Vehicles are comparatively weaker in Arcade than Realistic.
I noticed now, The turms Will be 10.3 while the Ariete (P) 10.7. Go home gaijin, you are drunk
