Realistic Battles + Simulator Battles, Otomatic . 11.3 → 10.3. Only limited to 12 APFSDS and small Readyrack (29+1) in comparison to 2S38 (147+1), while being a far bigger target, doesnt have access to a drone and eventhough it in theory can reach further, it has roughly the same effective range up to 5.5-6.0km vs aircraft that on BR 11.3 use far more advanced A2G weaponry than on BR 10.3 (10.0 before the BR changes).
And trust me, it doesn’t get any better with the V2 or V3. Energy retention is also quite bad, on top of a poor rudder. Decent instant turn is all it has.
What?!
HSTVL, PUMA and Vilkas?!
@Smin1080p_WT what is the reasoning behind the kf41 going up from 10.7, its arguably worse then the freccia other than it has questionable aps, i dont really see why it should go up as it currently is, it lacks the ammount of spikes the freccia carrys, its protection isnt much better than the freccia, definitely not as good as the puma, its gun has better pen but a lower firerate so id argue they are equal in that regard, the only thing it really has over the freccia as i said before is the apa which cant protect against most atgms at 10.7 because they fly too fast and cant protect against most of the slower air launched agms since it cant aim aim that high. Sorry for ping but i just dont understand this change
Heil - AB 205 A-1
Mode - GRB
BR - 7.7 → 7.3
Completly unplayable with new Heil damge models, going down would give it some viabilty with its 14 Fear rockets and miniguns
Heil - UH-1B Jap
Mode - GRB
BR - 7.7 → 7.3
Completly unplayable with new Heil damge models, going down would give it some viabilty with its 38 fear rockets
The M60A3 TTS already sits at 9.0 with M774 and ERA, while the Taiwanese M60A3 TTS sits at the exact same BR, without ERA and with the highest shot being M735.
If they give it US M60A3 TTS the M833 shot it should go to 9.3, or remain at 9.0, but the Taiwanese variant goes down to 8.7.
Absolutely no business at 12.0. Doesn’t need to see 13.0 missile busses that will slap it out of the air before it can even get a chance to do anything. 12.0 would make it unplayable.
I’m tired of bushes literally giving you invisibility… The bushes you put on top of tanks shouldn’t give you the Harry Potter invisibility cloak ability, fix your game Gaijin.
Heil - UH-1C
Mode - GRB
BR - 8.7 → 9.0 ?
Currently at same BR as UH-1B but has ITOWs which are much better then AGM-22s, also give it CCIP
Vehicle: Su27 & J11
Gamemode: Air Simulator
BR Change: 13.3 to 13.0
Reasons:
-
Both having slow responding N001 radar making them worse in sim where there’s NO MARKERS like ARB. 10 missiles are useless in sim if it takes you ~8sec to tell if there’s anything in front of you, not to mention you need to do IFF (funny how STT still has no IFF ability shows how sim is getting ignored).
-
On top of that, in the current ASB bracket system, 13.3 100% of the time will face F15C and F16C with superior speed and missiles, which already made Su27SM and J11A hard to compete, not to mention inferior Su27 and J11
If ARB gets the change, SIM has more reasons to get it.
Heil - AH-1Q Tzefa B
Mode - GRB
BR - 9.0 → 9.3
It would match the BR of AH-1E, 15% horsepower does not justfiy a lower BR (also give the Tzefa B CCIP rockets it is based on a later version, no reason it wouldnt have it) , either they both should be 9.0 or both should be 9.3. I think 9.0 for both is fair
Vehicle: Mig-29A
Gamemode: Air RB
BR Change: 12.7 ----> 12.7 remove R-27ER and add R-73
Reason: Currently, Mig-29A(9.12 and 9.13) is equipped with R-60M and R-27ER. This is ahistorical, R-60M is always limited to training only on Mig-29, and R-27ER only enters service at the very end of the cold war.
We already have Mig-21 Bison at 12.3 equipped with 2 R-73 and HMD. As far as I know it’s radar is better than N-019. That means, if Mig-29A really receives R-73 and have its R-27ER removed, it shall have better chassis in exchange for worse radar, and 2 more R-73 for 0.3 battle rating. I think this is fair enough, now that missiles with IRCCM perform worse than before (and we already have Mig-29G at 13.0 and that’s 4 R-73 for 0.3 battle rating compared to current Mig-29A). R-27ER+R-60M is ahistorical anyway. Well, this should make more sense if the F-16As go to 12.7.This change will not break the balance.
Here’s a link of a thread from War Thunder forum. Obviously, most players agree with this idea.
TL;DR
He agreed with the A-10C going to 12.0
Su-25SM3 going to 12.0
The Su-39 staying exactly as it is, my god you are dense.
IJN Amagi 7.0 → 7.3 Fast reload rate and alot of 410 guns compare to others.
Challenger 3 TD 11.7 → 12.0 Reload rate 6.0 sec. → 5.0 sec. Unpopular tree compare to others. It bring alot of ability to play on this vehicle.
Air RB, F104S should be 11.0 (11.3>11.0)
Reasoning :This plane is inferior in flight performance to the mig 21bis and also has inferior weapons, it only has aim9p and needs to give up the cannon to carry radar missiles
Air RB, F104S TAF should be 11.0 (11.3>11.0)
Reasoning :This plane is inferior in flight performance to the mig 21bis and also has inferior weapons, it only has aim9p and needs to give up the cannon to carry radar missiles
Ground Realistic, CAS. 12.7<13.0
Will there be an increase in Top Tier CAS i know many are 12.7 to go along with the current 11.7 top tier ground. Is there any chance we can see a blanket increase to 13.0 for the top tier CAS to keep them out of the main premium bracket which will be 11.7.
I think if premium/new players are constantly getting battered by CAS it will give them a bad impression of game becasue they haven’t had the chance to grind air trees. This may also lead to an imbalance among teams
Simulator air battles, A-10C, 11.3 → 12.0
Reason: the Aim-9M is very very unbalanced aam in simulator as there is no way to tell if one has been fired.
Additionally reasons:
Pros:
- Pingless IFF HMD (great for sneak attacks)
- 4 Aim-9ms (way more than other even 11.7, 12.0, or 12.3 planes)
- MAW (which is very OP for people not even paying attention, and will make 90% of aams miss entirely)
- 480 countermeasures (enough to literally defeat 12+ aams)
- great cockpit visibility
- high amount of 30mm cannon ammo
- dozens of good agm, bomb, and other munitions.
- Thermal pod
Cons:
Slow
Many people agree to it going up in Br.
Vehicle in question: Challenger 2 family
Vehicle changes: rate of fire increased to 15r/s on the ready rack(5.2 stock, 4 aced), with a flat out 12r/s afterwards(6.5 stock, 5 aced)
With most 120 NATO equipped tanks bar leopard variants receiving 5 seconds reload, the challenger 2 has effectively lost its only advantage. The CR2 is at least out-gunned, out-loaded, out-armored or out-sped in three of the criteria compared to machines above.
Here are some of the regularly critiqued top tiers comparing to it:
Ariete AMV: worse armor - better mobility, penetration, same reload with a FOAR of 15+1 rounds
Top tier Chinese MBT: worse reload, similar penetration - better UFP and turret armor, immensively better mobility
Merkava Mk.4B/LIC/M: similar mobility, worse armor - better penetration, same reload
Leclerc SXXI/AZUR: similar penetration - better mobility, same reload with an autoloader and a FOAR of 22+1 rounds
