Arcade, M113A1 (TOW). 8.3>7.3. thin armor, exposed gunner, bad handling, just an all around sucky ATMC
Arcade, M36B1. 5.7>5.3. Compare to M36B2 at same BR, which possesses very similar firepower on a lower profile chassis with similar turret armor and (after accounting for higher slope on the M36B1) only slightly diminished hull armor and speed
With the Merkava and Ariete getting 5 second reload, why can’t the Challenger 3TD get them as well?
And the 5 second reload was the only special thing going for the Challenger 2s. Now it’s no longer special when more tanks are getting it. It’s either they increase the capacity of the ready rack or reduce the reload for Challenger 2 to 4-4.5 seconds as we seen on YT videos of loaders doing lap loading.

un related to the f16 but why isnt the pantsir going up in br it is buy far the best anti air

Here’s me saying that the Sturmpanzer should go up in BR too:
That is BS, J-8F has far better FM. But moving planes +/- 0.3 right now is meaningless anyway, you will break one or the other. BR cap has to increase.
J-8F? Good flight model?
What world are you living in, it’s an extremely fat MiG-21MF and turns like one.
i have like 300 games in the HSTV-L it should spall more due to larger calibre, the HSTV-L is defo better, faster, better chasis and armour + survivability
You suggest a tank with 31mm penetrating HE shell to go higher than a tank with 61mm penetrating HE shell. Both are fine where they are, both are one trick ponies. The Chi-Ha 12cm was already put at 2.3 years ago and it didn’t work out, granted that was before the HE reword, but still it was borderline useless, right now at 1.7 it’s at least a tank you take out for some fun with the Ro-Go 12cm & Ho-Ro 15cm.
AIR RB, A5C, 10.3>10.3. This plane is ‘‘attacker’’ only by name, due to limited weapon load it is used as a fighter and should compared to 10.3 fighters like for example: F-8E or Mig-21MF it doesn’t stand out aleredy and at 10.7 it will get sad, you have AMX with AIM-9L which is slower but with far better agility and weapon load. On top of that it is especially bad for a prem plane, imo prem plane performance should be in the middle.

at 1.7
Chi-Ha Short Gun is only at 1.7 in RB and SB. Note that I said “Arcade”. HE slingers function differently (better) in arcade due to hit indicator and ever present highlighting of enemies. Also we both know that penetration isn’t what matters in a HE shell, so don’t act like that’s a reasonable objection. This plus other benefits that the Chi-Ha Short Gun has, like 180 degrees of horizontal guidance, do in fact make it simply better than the Sturmpanzer.
‘‘good’’ is relatiive, it has much better flight model than J-37D. Worse than most 4th gen fighters, outside of maybe MiG-29SMT.
J8F with 20m fuel - T/W 1.07
J-37D with 20m fuel - T/W 0.80
J-8F turn time fully spaded and aced: 27 seconds
Ja-37D turn time stock with no crew upgrades: 26.3 seconds
Naval RB, IJN Shimikaze. 5.0 > 4.7, the vehicle has superb torpedo armament but its guns are extremely lackluster compared to other 5.0 destroyers, however as torpedoes cannot be reloaded in naval RB, it’s effectiveness in battle is greatly limited (RB mode only), thus it’s BR in naval RB should be reduced.

You have plane or you draw your conclusion from stat-card? If you got plane to game for a gunfight, wont be hard to prove you that J-37D stand no chance in practice.

War Thunder Datamines, grains of salt where applied
What?
Naval RB, Primauguet, 5.0 > 4.7, compared to its premium counterpart Duguay-Trouin, it has lots of torpedoes, which makes it more effective in arcade battles, however, this doesn’t means that it’s BR should be 0.3 higher even in realistic battles, as in this case the torpedoes are slower with a limited number and usually cannot kill anything in battle.

The game files, there’s people who look through the files to find information and post it in spreadsheets called datamines
Ah. Never saw those regarding aircraft, but every plane performs differently at different flight regimes. For example F-16 can barely turn at supersonic, but is one of best dogfighters at slow speed. But once again, i can create room and prove that you’re wrong if you have J-37D. I played both J-37 and J-8 and know more or less what they capable off. J-8A is roughly compareble to J37, J-8F smokes it.
