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.
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.
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
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
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
Air RB, Kfir canards 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 2x aim9G or shafir 2
@Stona_WT please, I’m aware you’ve been asked before, but can you please clarify what the new outputs are for the RARDEN, and confirm that they will be mirrored to the Warrior?
F-14s going up is really good, but according to Modern ARH (FOX 3) Missile - History, Performance & Discussion the AIM-54 should have a Max G Pull of Up to 25Gs, this mean that the AIM-54 needs a buff of AOA and G pull, also the Fakour-90 is overperforming by a Lot since it should have way less range than the AIM-54, while AIM-54 should have way more range, AIM-54 should loft more than it does right now, up to 100.000ft, beyond the maps límit… and a loft angle of 30°.
-Less drag.
-a bit more power.
Top speed of Mach 5.
Max kill range of 160km, since ita actually accurate.
While You can’t get higher kills than 65km, do You have the same efective range of the R-27ER.
Reason: it’s most similar to the A-10C in pretty much every way, thus they should be the same Br.
-additionally add 2x R60Ms on the outer most hard points, as they are empty and all the Su-25SM3 gets to defend itself is 2x R-73s, which is a bit lacking and rather odd.
Or, to make it completely balanced, give the Su-25SM3 4x R73s to match the A-10C
That way there is balance and they are pretty much 1:1
The A-10C will have more Cms, while the SU-25Sm3 will have less Cms, and less cockpit visibility for the trade off of speed.
I agree. While I disagree with the flight performance bit, but it is undeniable that the kfir canard(and C.2/C.7) are overtiered. I believe it is the lack of adequate countermeasures combined with the poor avionics that limits their potential.
