Planned Battle Rating Changes for October 2024

Plane - Mirage 5F
Mode - GRB
BR - 10.0 → 9.7

Only gets 1 nord, no flares/chaff, and limited ground attack abilty compared to competitors ie (Mig-23BN, A-4E early, Ayit) also France need something crediable at 9.7

Object 292 is practically the fun police when it comes to anything British. Your whole gimmick, namely, your “armour” practically becomes irrelevant overnight. Not to mention how the HE rounds on it… behave interestingly.

However, I don’t know if it’s worth a further BR increase. On the one hand I want to kick that thing’s sorry ass for being so blatantly undertiered for a couple of months, on the other I have no desire to kill a vehicle off (even if I hate it personally)

BR Suggestion:
FV4004 Conway
Current BR: 7.0
Suggested BR: 6.7

Reason: Inconsistent rounds (APDS regularly shattering, with poor post-pen performance), coupled with a lack of gun depression (forcing you to over-expose regularly), mostly mediocre armour, and the lack of an effective rangefinder making it difficult to utilise in its long range standoff role.

Alternative: Add the “later” rangefinder (same type as found on the Conqueror) in order to enable it to engage more effectively at longer distance.

Air RB, F-104S.ASA, (12.0 → 11.7), this jet shouldn’t face any 13.0 aircraft in battles, with its train-like mobility and downgraded RWR (which doesn’t show direction) it becomes very frustrating to play against ARHs and modern SARH. While the plane itself can carry only 2 SARH sacrificing its cannon, which also not that easy to use because of poor radar.

I find it funny people think a plane should get all aspect IR missiles at 9.3 or 9.7.

F-104J “The dullest pencil”: Air RB, 10.3 → 10.0
Genuinely one of the worst aircraft to fly in the game right now. With the abysmal flight performance, and very poor armament stock combined with lack of countermeasures (ill elaborate on this one later), you are in essence FREE FOOD for anyone who has a missile. Why? You will lose ALL of your speed in any kind of maneuver, you cannot defend against the powerful missiles (you face PL-5Bs, Magics, AIM-9Gs, AIM-9Ls and R-60Ms EVERY GAME with no way to defeat them.)

Easily one of the worst aircraft i have ever crewed. Genuinely, either revert the changes to starfighter flight models, or move F-104J to 10.0. This aircraft is next to unflyable.

Plane - F-104G/J (all nations)
Mode - GRB
BR - 10.0 → 9.7

With the recent FM nerf, and already not being very suited to ground attack, and limited ground attack abilty compared to competitors ie (Mig-23BN, A-4E early, Ayit) 2 also dont get any CM, and other 3 only get 60, will fill gap of 9.7 in Italy/France/China

How is 6 aim-9Ps a poor armament, forget about 750 rounds of vulcan cannon. It will be more playable when F8u-2 goes up trust.

I have a 2.5 KDR in it and i just spaded it, so some of that was without 6 Aim-9Ps.

What about the J35A? Its 9.7 with 4 aim 9B? This isnt the right choice, rather air need to increase in BR’s as 8.x vehicle dont deserve to get murdered by 20g missiles.

You might want to reply to the guy arguging for it to go down BR then, I think its fine at 10.3.

Idk for GRB i could see them being pretty hard to deal with for the current CAS jets

Reply to the relevent post pls, I dont know which one you are talking about.

Plane - MIG-9
Mode - ARB
BR - 7.3 → 7.0

Currently it is just a far worse MIG-9(L), its abilty/FM is simmlar to most other 7.0s in the game currently, also would give people a reason to play it.

Realistic, AGS. 11.0 >11.3, add M900, because M833 in this BR is really a joke which make this vehicle in an awkward situation

Ground RB, T54E1. 8.0<7.7. Here is my reasoning, there is no lineup for 8.0 America. When ya move the majority of 8.0 American tanks to 8.3, ya destroyed it. The only other 8.0 American tank is the m60 but who plays 8.0 anymore for USA? This tank is equivalent to some of the French autoloaders, only main difference is the heatfs and apds.

I would heavliy consider bring this tank down or in my next suggestion, the T95e1.

You don’t need speed when you have an Aim-9m

Difference in thermals is 2s38 is gen 2.5
Hstvl is gen 1

Realistically there isn’t much difference because they’re meant for acquisition more so than firing, unless it’s night time.
