Planned Battle Rating Changes for October 2024

Initial D humvee*

Tank - Challenger 2 TES/OES
Mode - GRB
BR - 11.7 → 11.3

Reason: The Challenger 2 OES and TES are almost identical, they are among the worst 11.3 tanks ingame at the moment and are now going to 11.7 for some reason. It would be better to keep them at 11.3 where they will compete with tanks like the Leopard 2A7 which completely outclass them less often.

They are extremely slow and their armour has large weakspots, they are not 11.7 material.

If the OES moves to 11.7 it will be completely worthless as a premium.

BR Suggestion:
Sea Hawk FGA.6 (UK)
Current BR: 8.0
Suggested BR: 7.7

Reason: It doesn’t even have the Sidewinders that Seahawks in the Benelux or German Tree have. It does not deserve to be the same BR as them as well as MiG-15s, which are objectively better in terms of flight performance.

I like the idea of adding a higher br ceiling to ground but 12.0? that’s not going to do much of anything. if they really wanted to decompress ground add 13.0 or higher.

if the m1a1 hc’s get m829a2 could the m1a2s or just the seps get m829a3

Definition of japans ground low mid tier fr.

Tbf moust japanese low mid tier ww2 tanks are overtiered by at least that 0.3 br not just Chi-nu, exactly like the meme says gaijin does not really care how good the vehicle is. But because japan low mid tier is usally played only by experienced players that left japan as their last nation to grind (exactly because its so bad) it has high statistics.

Aintnoway. The 2A4 is THE best 10.3 tank in the game right now, if the other 10.3’s move, it goes with them.

Challenger mk2/3 staying quite as it becomes the best 10.3 in the game on long range maps. Although the object 292 puts a stop to that.

The reload is pretty much average for that br, you have a 6.9 with just a decent crew, which is right under almost all soviet style autoloaders, only the m1 and the m60 120, and the challengers, for just 3 rounds, have a better reload.

Bwt how is the mobility not competitive with the mbt of the same br? You have 27hp/ton … thats basically one of the highest power to weight ratio that an mbt have in game, you only see ifv with similar or higher ratios.

In terms of firepower, I’d say the OTO is a good bit better shot-for-shot than the 9040C (both the darts and proxy fuse), but not >=1.0 BR better.

In terms of effective penetration, the OTO’s dart and the 2S38’s dart are fairly similar. In many cases, the extra 100mm of pen on the OTO’s dart doesn’t significantly alter the size or quantity of weakspots (unless it’s a British MBT, the Vickers and Challengers weakspots get quite a bit bigger, RIP).

In terms of matching SPAA capabilities to CAS capabilities, 10.3 might be closer to even (when guided munitions start to become more common), but any step down would be an improvement - it punishes anything that needs to hard commit to an attack… but most CAS have fire-and-forget munitions at that BR

ARB
Su-17M2 10.7 > 10.3

do not, i like my TD Falcon with the APDS

F8U-2, 10.0 → 10.7
That thing got a huge buff from the reworking of the rip mechanic and should go up by quite a lot to compensate it’s performance increase, also AIM-9D against 9.0s is quite ridiculous.

Only thing i dislike about them is they dont have camo nets like the premium one

or in general, i remember spading my FB4 out before the cold war stuff came out and i reckon the i’d probabally do better at 8.0 in the Meteor Mk.3

i never had an issue with my british FGA.6 and that doesnt even get 9Bs, last titme i played it it seemed perfectly fine at 8.0

Looks at Arietes, not the best mobility, no armor, doesnt have the best shell anymore, temu spall liners, best rhing about it is the thermals and soon the reload, but i still love them

Please fix the second stage recharge of the Leopard 2 once and for all. It is excessive that it takes 24 seconds to recharge with the crew at full capacity. They should lower it to a more logical amount like 15-16 seconds.

Fox, Warrior, Falcon, AMX-30DCA all use the same 30x170mm APDS round, would affect them all
