Every mode, Pantsir, 11.7 > 12.0, This is by a VERY BIG margin the best AA in the game, period. Against an expperienced Pantsir player, multiple air vehicles or extreme strategy and caution must be taken by pilots to have a chance at taking it out. Not to mention if said plane gets into a dogfight, GG.
Air RB & Sim:
Belgian F-16A, F-15, Flanker, Gripen, AV-8B+ > 13.3, reason: Excellent IRCCM missiles, large number of such missiles including best Fox 1 (flanker), ARH missiles (AV-B+)… In a downtier these planes clown on 12.0 planes
F-16C/Barak II, F-15 MSIP/J(M), Gripen C, J-10, Mirage 2000-5F > 14.0, reason: excellent flight models and large number of excellent missiles and/or countermeasures… In a downtier planes without Fox 3 and not as good flight models struggle, example F-20, and the upcoming F-14A due to poor airframe and low countermeasures. Plus allows for more decompression and separation for my previous recommendations, which every person who has reached top tier has been screaming for for years, great job recently, but more needs to happen in my opinion.
A-10C > 12.0, reason: HMD IFF, Aim 9M slaved to HMD… There are planes at 10.3 without flares, let alone against a missile designed to COUNTER flares. Planes that do have flares must expend a HUGE chunk to possibly dodge the missile. Strike planes should not create no-fly zones, they are not air to air planes.
Vehicle: J2M2 model 11
Gamemode: Air RB
BR Change: 5.0 ----> 5.7
Reason: It actually performs better in BnZ than J2M5… And usual J2M thing----- outrageous climb rate, great firepower, overwhelming maneuverability.
Air RB. Su-25SM3. 12.3 > 11.7. When you guys updated to game to allow difference in BR between ground and air, you guys still have some planes especially at jet tier being higher than their predecessor for no reason. This is one of them. In terms of AIR RB, the plane is straight up worse than the Su-25T. It has 2 less air to air missiles. It has no passive IRCM (which make the Su-25T invincible against IR since you can’t launch from the rear while frontal launches against any player with eyes will be countered by flares). Please make it the same BR as the Su-25T as a sidegrade.
KF41 should stay at 10,7 and eventually move to 11,0 next BR changes. Problem of this vehicle is that it doesnt have a lineup (im not uptiering my 10,3 because of 1 vehicle) and at 11,3, it sucks. Just give this a try please.
why is the T-129 going up in BR? its already pretty bad at its current BR
however if it got an actual RWR as it did in real life i wouldnt be complaining now. it used to have one in the past im sure too
Vehicle: Su-27
Gamemode: Air RB
BR Change: 13.0 ----> 13.3
Reason: 6x R-27ER’s with PD and TWS radar + 4x R-73 with thrust vectoring alongside HMD is way too strong for that BR. Even the F-15A at that BR have much inferior and only 4x Sparrows but has no TWS for easy target selection and has 4x 9M’s but without HDM, making in less effective in dogfights. Su-27 does have inferior flight model but the R-73’s somewhat counter that, if additional buff is needed then it should be towards it’s flight model not BR.
Air realistic, F8U-2. 10.0 > 10.3
Basically a slightly worse F-8E that currenlty dunks on 9.0 subsonic aircraft and flareless supersonic 9.3s while being able outrun them (excluding F-104 A and C) and flaring what little early missiles they have.
It is are extremly powerful for its BR with its stabilized 130mm autoloaded cannon, that is capable of firing APHE. The Object 279 is nearly impossible to kill for a lot of tanks even around its own BR or a bit higher, which means that it just shrugs off the enemy shell and near instantly turns onto the enemy and is able to oneshot them. At the same time, since there is an overall BR increase for decompression from around 9.0+, it would make sense to also move this vehicle up, since it is one of the most powerful 9.0 vehicles in the game.
This is the worst of the Apaches available to the Israeli helicopter tree.
It has no MAW and half the countermeasures. In my opinion it could stay at 11.3, since keeping it at the same BR as the other Israeli Apaches doesn’t really encourage using this version over the others.
Currently these vehicles, which are merely a missile tube on a simple tracked platform, are the same BR as fully fledged IFVs like the Bradley and Warrior. Let me list what these two have above the post’s subjects: proper APDS firing autocannon, better moblity (both forwards and in reverse), better armor (do not die to .5 cals and they are not overpressured by artillery landing a few meters away), gen 1 (or even 3!) thermals, stabilisers or very fast aiming speeds, fully traversible turrets (M113A1’s have a limited firing arc), scouting and drones
What do M113’s have in comparison? 200mm more penetration on their missiles against the Bradley or better depression against the Warrior (which actually has BETTER missiles!). This performance gap is just unnecessarily large. And that was even before the TOW guidance change which was a massive nerf for this vehicle - a reduction in BR should bring justice to it.
Reason: The loadout is pitiful compared to other aircraft at and lower br like the AMX, Jaguar and
Super etendard . F111C can carry 4 GBUs with gen 1 thermal pod but with no gun or missiles. You can see its comparable with the buccaneer S.2B. F111C get thermals, 4 GBU’s faster and more countermeasures, But buccaneer gets 3 TV atgms and 4 1000lb bombs. So the F111C is just a side grade for the buccaneer hence it’s br should decrease
I wholeheartedly disagree with the Air RB changes from BRs 10.0 upwards. It looks like it’s just the top tier fox3-capable jets causing problems for ones without fox3s, so please move those up an additional 0.3BR instead of erasing all of your decompression progress from the previous changes where you lifted the ceiling by 0.7BR. Air RB became much healthier for the decompression, please don’t ruin that.
I do like the changes in the 9.X BR range for the most part. Getting some decompression on the supersonic strikers is nice to see.
I’d like to suggest the F-104A/C in the US and Chinese trees go from 9.0 → 9.7/10.0 because despite their manoeuvrability nerfs, they’re still extremely capable seeing as manoeuvrability was never their strength. They’re untouchable to virtually everything at or below 9.7 and are still very potent in full uptiers, let alone downtiers.
As it currently stands the Ki-94 is an overtiered mess of an aircraft thats almost unplayable its not only slower than every other 6.0 fighter or interceptor, but also has far worse maneuverability than all of them and worse climbrate than most.
