- RB, Skink: 5.3 down to 4.7. Just like the Crusader AA Mk. II really don’t understand why it keeps going up. Again, just compare it to the Wirbelwind, you still have less firepower and penetration but now have the double the guns of the Crusader AA Mk. II, and the same amount of guns as the Whirbelwind. Is that really worth a BR increase of 1.3 currently (4.0 to 5.3)?
- RB, Tortoise: 6.7 down to 6.3. Just compare it to the T28, very similar vehicles except the Tortoise is covered in weakspots, lacks APHE, and just as slow.
- RB, Falcon: 8.3 down to 7.7. Just remove the APDS and/or adjust the belts. There’s now 3 British SPAA’s at 8.3 now, what’s the point? The Falcon has no radar and should be lower. Just compare it to the ZSU-37-2 and the VEAK 40 which have similar shells and radar, yet both are 7.7.
It’s a capable tank, if you’re not getting hit, playing as light tank. But that literally goes for anything with tracks that can go fast and has 120mm gun with stabilizer, which is 99% of the tanks at top tier, but half of them also have passive protection on top with Spall Liners, Relikt ERA’s, impenetrable hulls or fuel tanks that also work as extra spall liner.
It doesn’t struggle against t-34s nor M4 Sherman’s what are you talking about 😂 if you play it correctly it still works really well if you don’t get total up tier, and if you do, just spawn another tank. Problem is churchil going down in br. I remember what pain it was to deal with while playing low tier Japan (2.0 chi-ha vs 3.0 Churchill 💀)
As of now, M1A2 SEPv2 isn’t even a sidegrade to SEP, but even a downgrade; since it can’t take off the extra weight of TUSK II, which provides no real protection anyway.
Since SEPv2 is suppossed the pinnacle of the U.S tree, I think it should get its historical M829A3 shell so that at least it feels like an actual upgrade in ONE field, since it’s still otherwise nearly identical to the M1A2 that was the pinnacle of the U.S tech tree back in 2019.
I know, but we went on some sort of argument trying to crown the officially worst top tier which is weird because in the end they all cruelly underperform
- RB, Chieftain Mk 3: 8.7 down to 8.3. The Chieftain Mk 5 has far better mobility and top speed, and sometime soon will get a LRF. This makes the Chieftain Mk 3 feel more like a heavy tank in comparison but only with decent armour when hull down.
Tier 8 leclercs should at the very least receive DM53 or better SHARD and go over an in depth revision of the tank. Same with merkavas.
But with the rework to CR2 and ZTZ99A not improving much dont expect gaijin to do much.
Arietes even fully fixed wont be the best, but since there is a 2a7hu to hold the top tier they can get dropped down in br.
T-72A : 9.3 > 9.7 reason : following the decompression of the 8.3/9.3, all variants (m1 export version) should move like the others 9.3
Kpz/Mbt-70 : 9.3 > 9.7 reason : should moving like others 9.3 vehicule, like the VFM5 ( why raise its BR if them not ?)
T-64B : 9.7 > 10.0 reason : Leopard 2k and almost 9.7 vehicles moving to 10.0 and T-64B is adequate MBT.
While it can be powerful, it will only do so, if the enemy jets chooses to engage it in a turn fight. The thing is, at this BR, most people knows that turnfighting is not advantageous, so it happens in a blue moon. It doesn’t have the thrust to wight ratio to be able to fight like jets usually do.
- RB, SU-122: 2.7 to 3.0. This, and the two vehicles below are incredibly powerful. Especially against new players. You see entire squads of SU-122, M4A3 (105), and StuH 42 G when playing these BR’s.
