Planned Battle Rating Changes for October 2024

No, I don’t. It’s fine where it’s at. Maybe if it got a forward spawn, then maybe.

So even more reason it should be a higher BR then XD

Hell no.

With no Aim-9M modification installed, I’d be okay I guess with it being 11.3, if it had a reduced amount of counter measures. 480 is a bit much, especially since some planes have as little as 24 at 11.3

RB, all Challenger tanks. New BR is good, but with upgrading reloading speed on Merkavas and Ariete, and the previous upgrade of reloading speed on Abramses, reloading speed in 5 seconds only for the first 5 shells is no longer an advantage. Challenger need reloading speed in 5 seconds on all shells.

Air Realistic, Sea Harrier FRS.1. 11.3 > 11.0. Reasoning: On the BR of 11.3 he meets mig 23s and phantoms, which have powerfull radar rockets, which makes this BR preety uncoumfortable for planes with only melee rockets like AIM-9s.

The constructual slope of the upper plate it angled more, and the OBJ 122 is slightly longer, giving its UFP way better chance to bounce a round.

“I’d okay with it being in the game, but only if it is missing like 60% of its kit. That would make it fair”. Again, that is such a weird take.

4 seconds on the first order w/5.2 stock should be implemented as well.

Haha good luck, nothing gets a foward spawn, and you wouldn’t want that in Sim, because if you aren’t near the fighters you’re already having a bad time. Have you seen USA teams swarm one target?

It doesn’t help every sim match is 1 Soviet to 3 NATO planes at least.

Which proves my point more, than NATO aircraft play better thus more people use them.

and not only that that, the missile fly straight for almost a second before it starts turning. It is for sure a worse missile over the 9L :/

Yep, never used the F-14, might play the event one eventually, but yeah, never had any issues to defending against them myself.

Only exceptions

  • Those with no RWR
  • Those with very low CM counts
  • Those with poor handling AND weak CMs

Those with no RWR should go down out of sight. Those with very low CM counts should either go down out of sight but ideally get CM pods added if possible and those with poor handling and weak CMs was basically just the Tornado ADV, FM has been fixed and just need Phimat to augment the BOL (or for them to fix the BOL)

Everything shouldnt have too many issues. Though a core and often overlooked problem is the map design. F-14s would be a fraction of the strength they are now if ARB wasnt a “single lane” design. Add a second AF to both teams and make matches wider and the F-14 looses most of its strength. I rarely see F-14s even use Aim-54s let alone get kills with them in Sim.

Rear-aspect only IR missiles at 12.7, same BR as F-16s with All-aspect IRs seems really rough.

As for A-10C, should just match the BR of the Su-25T and Su-39. Simple. Maybe they need to get R-27Ts for a buff and the Su-25SM3 should probably join them at the same BR. But the A-10C isnt this god-tier aircraft that deserves to be so over BRed its impossible to play. Aim-9Ms are good in Niche situations but not OP. Heck the Harrier Gr7 in Sim which is better in almost every respect to the A-10, struggles like hell at 12.7(12.3 but no 12.3 bracket) and I want that down to 12.0 and it wouldnt be OP at that BR, far from it in Sim. The fact people want the A-10C higher than that, is just insane.

No, I meant for Air RB. In sim, it stays where it’s at. Doesn’t need a forward spawn in sim battles. Think we can agree on that. The forward spawn in Air RB was Gaijin’s balance to moving it up, after stating that they didn’t want to move it up.

F-14A IRIAF (USA) 12.7>12.3
The radar and RWR of the F14 are relatively outdated, and the number of interfering objects is too small, making it difficult to resist more advanced aircraft

AirRb, F-4S (and counterpars). 12.0 > 11.7.
At 11.7 it will still face all the F-14 variants but it is unfair for the F-4 without irccm missiles and with mediocre radar and fox1 missiles for the br (when uptiered). F15s and Su27s (already for the F15) will destroy them with the irccm missiles, higher speed and manouverability, better radars and missiles. Plus it doesn’t have enough countermeasures, the very hot F4 airframe needs more than average amount of flares for the heat seekers to be confused.

I only said about air rb because that’s where I use it more. But I would assume that this applies for Air Arcade. On sim it also needs to go down. It will be playable only when the bracket will be from 12.3 and bellow

swap ZLT11 and ZBD04A in the tech tree, as well as Rooikat Mk. 1D and Olifant mk. 1

Why consume flares when you can’t see any unless you face against IRCCM missile carriers?

It is not a “hypothesis” but a fact.

My point is situations where AIM-9L ignores flare can totally happen with PL-5B.
I strongly suggest you read the missile data sheets before posting your ridiculous fantasies.

F-105 is literally flareless jet LMFAO.

It has chaff only and doesn’t work against IR missiles.
Maybe you just fired a missile in a bad condtion or just made it up.

There is no advantage of Magic 1/PL-7 over PL-5B other than guidance performance.

This is not a made up fact or hypothesis, but a fact that can be read from datamines and missile data sheets.

Most aircraft are fine with 9.7BR. Apparently the problem is your skill and experience in thinking it is fair to spam a PL-5B into a 9.7BR jet.

Also, ML/MLA/MLD model or even most 12.0s are not huge issues for wiping.

Ground hugging meta literally starts after 11.0 BR because of PD radar + SARH missile carrier.
With a BR below that, climbing is still valid.

Also you can see the following SARH at 9.0-11.0

  • AIM-7C (F3H)
  • AIM-7D (F-4C)
  • AIM-9C (F-8E)
  • R-3R (MiG-21S, MiG-21SPS-K, MiG-21MF, MiG-21SMT)
  • Matra R530E (Mirage IIIC/CJ, IIIE)

Yeah “prominent radar missile” certainly seems to be there.

I have no regrets at all about buying the J-7D honestly.

I have long wanted the J-7C/J-7D to be implemented into the game since Chinese TT was implemented in 2019, and I bought it just for fun, not to use as a grinder just like you and most J-7D player did. Too bad it went to under of paywall.

Whatever, You seem to be making a ridiculous plea to lower the J-7D to 10.7BR just because you have skill issue.

The F14 IRIAF is pretty freaking good ngl.

The only other aam the Su-25SM3/ T/ 39 got (other than super crazy op ones) as far as I know the radar equipped Su-39 could mount 2 R-77 next to the pylon that carries the R-73s.

I think the su-25sm3 and A10c should sit nicely at 12.0 because if they add r-77s to the Su-39, that would have to at least be 12.0, maybe even 12.3

The thing that really makes the A-10C OP is the Aim-9m
