Planned Battle Rating Changes for October 2024

Leopard 2a6 is fine

Challenger 2: CR2, CR2(DL2F), CR2TES, CR2BN, CR2E: Main gun ROF buffed to 15/m first order(4 seconds)
Currently the CR2s stands no chance against contemporary 11.7/12.0s with their inferior penetration, protection and mobility.
A major buff to their firepower, restoring their edge of being able to disperse shots rapidly should be considered.

100% agree, UE-1 has better aiming characteristics and good thermals. Should be slightly higher BR

Please: Kfir Canard 11.3 > 11.0

Reasons:
It doesnt have a J-Band RWR, which makes it really hard to play at 11.7+ where you face a lot of MiG-23´s which are basically able to shoot you from big distances without you being able to notice incoming missiles.

It is basically a faster Nesher with flares, I dont see what reasons a 1.3 BR difference.

9.3 would be a good start. SRAAM are still very powerful when used correctly. But 9.7 is waaaay too high.

The merkava Mk4M should stay at 11.7 because the only thing that makes it different is just an APS. The MK.4 are all struggeling at their br but this one even more. It is gigantic slow and has ok firepower

Merkava Mk.4M 11.7>11.7

Vehicle: Harrier Gr7
Gamemode: Air Realistic & Air Sim
BR Change: 12.3 ----> 12.0
Reason: The Harrier Gr7 has no radar and sub-sonic flight performance. It is well equipped with a defensive loadout but has limited ability to survive against a smart and determined attacker. Its BR also renders it extremely hard to use it within its main role of A2G attack. Additionally, there is no 12.3 Bracket. So the Harrier Gr7 is always at a minimum fighting 12.7s and therefore has a Psuedo BR of 12.7 not 12.3. Lowering it to 12.0 would massively increases its playability.

In ARB, its now going to be directly facing aircraft like the F-16 on the regular with their BR reduction.

Alternative Solution: Give the Harrier Gr7 its native MAWS and not the C&P from the F-111A. Add the missing 2x Aim-9Ms and 2x AGM-65s . Fix the exhaust being sooty to reduce visiblity. Fix the IR signature being so hot its nearly impossible to flare anything.

F-1: Air RB, 10.3 → 10.0.

Pretty mediocre aircraft at 10.3. Its only upgrade over T-2 is a pair of AIM-9Js, and i believe a small weight decrease. I had a good time in it, but it is NOT easy to fly for most players.

ARB, Saab J35XS. 11.3>10.7. Plays against radar missiles. It is not able to carry them or detect launch by itself (RWR). Its flight model does not allow it to participate in turn battles, because after a couple of turns it will start to fall. When levelled off, it becomes easy prey for MiG-21Bis missiles, which have same battle rate as J35XS but only 6 all-course missiles and RWR.

Ground RB, Stormer HVM, 10.3 > 10.0

While it is an alright vehicle, it is overshadowed by other 10.3 spaa at the same BR, Roland 3s are missiles used by multiple 10.3 spaas, and some even lower, and it has greater range, and has a proximinty fuze. Stormer HVM would be good at 10.0

(I know only one suggestion per comment, but with this change, it could also move the Stormer AD which is currently at 10.0, to 9.7, due to it having HALF the stinger missiles than the same BR LAV AD in the US tech tree, while also being slower)

I don’t see many changes to naval which is unfortunate as it badly needs to be decompressed. So I beg thy to decompress it just at least a little.

Naval AB/RB SKR-7 family 4.3 to 4.7 Its rockets and autoloading round is no match for tier II ship in 4.3 BR

Realistic Battles, F-16A MLU (China) 12.7 (planed) > 13.0/13.3. Add AIM-120A to this F-16, It’ll be historically accurate and good for Chinese vechicle players

wtf? It’s probably not even in the top 10 MBTs and is even outclassed by the BVM, let alone one of the most dominant top tier MBTs

From what I understand the name Yak-141 was made up by the Soviets to confuse people and the plane’s internal designation was Yak-41M. I could be wrong though.

I dont think anyone is denying SRAAM is bad when used correctly, but at 9.7 there are a ton of supersonic planes which you cant simply use the SRAAM on because they outspeed you, thus you cant use the SRAAM on them.

Tornado IDS ASSTA/IDS (1995)/ Tornado GR.1 11.7 → 11.3 (ARB)
They have no differences in ARB mode with the 11.3 variants

meanwhile there is a tank named T25 who lost its stablizer, got br increased, would be penetrated easily even in a full downtier battle 🤣

GRB, Radkampfwagen90. 9.7-9.3. Reasoning: only had the DM33, which did not contain the thermal imaging device, while the Rooikat MTTD containing the low-clear thermal imaging device and DM33 was 9.0

Vehicle: T-44
Gamemode: Ground RB
BR Change: 6.7 ----> 6.3
Reason: T-44 is equipped with an outdated 85mm cannon, not able to penetrate any medium or heavy tank from front at this br------not even M26, which is trash at 6.7. It’s suspension performs poorly.
