Planned Battle Rating Changes for October 2024

no. AIM -9M dont belong at 11.3 it can go up to 12.0 and be fine. and yes i have it and play it in Air RB.

Similar to me saying “F-1 is one of the best jets ive ever flown i have 80some% winrate 10.8 KD and 2.7KB it should go down” Which i said earlier.

Being a skilled pilot yourself doesnt mean much when most players are <1Kd and KB when balancing vehicles.

ariete sure, but Abrams? Abrams weak? only thing bad about the thing is its utter hole of a turret neck

You really aren’t implying that you think that the Abrams are weaker than the CR2 right?

because that is a hard skill issue

Vehicle in question: Kfir C.7
BR: 12.0>11.3 ARB, 10.7 as CAS(GRB)

No matter how good the kfirs are in close quarters, AIM-7Fs dont give a thing.

Air RB, Meteor F Mk.4 G.41G. 8.0->7.7. It is some kind of mistake, this plane has worse engine and turn performance than Meteor F Mk.4 G.41F at 7.7.

It seems like the goal of these changes is to improve the compression situation for the 9.0-10.0 BR bracket in air and ground, and that’s a really good thing.

Python 4 missiles are pretty much done and ready for year+ in game files, so adding them should be about as much work as is changing BR tables.

It doesn’t have 6 missiles if it carries the AIM-7F, then it only has 4 missiles.

Do you really think 2x AIM-7F + 2x AIM-9L is better than 2x 530D + 2x Magic 2? That doesn’t make any sense.

Arguably the Mirage 2000C-S5 is a better platform than the F-20A as well. So there is no reason these two planes shouldn’t (at the very least) be the same BR. The F-20A at a higher BR than the Mirage 2000C-S5 should not be a thing.

Vehicle in question: Su-25SM3
BR: 12.3>11.7 ARB, 12.7>13.3 as CAS(ARB)

The Su-25SM3 holds no speciality in ARB, effectively the same 2xR-73 and a cannon, but at a higher BR compared to the other R-73 armed frogfoots, which unironically can troll with vikhrs as well. Its GRB BR needs raising but its pointless to split it from Su-25T/39 in air battles.

Lancaster B MK I

5.3 → 5.0

In ARB, it is such a massive and slow bomber that have no real defensive weapons at all. While it does have the payload to take out multiple bases, it is so big and slow that it is most of the time have no way to realistically be able to even get close to the bases.

While in GRB, it does have the advantage of being able to use the 12.000lb bomb, when you compare it to the Pe-8 because they are both able drop giant bombs, then you will find that the Pe-8 is 1.0 BR lower than the Lancaster, and that actually have defensive weapons that are effective.

While i agree with the R-27ER part, it should still go down to 13.0, im aware its not THAT hard with SARHs against ARH (considering 27ER are the best SARH currently and the 27S can carry 6 of them) its also not fun for most to have constant 13.7 matches and not a single non fox3 match in a flying brick with a (still) nerfed FM

Kfir Canard 11.3 → 11.0
why are all Mig-21bis going down but not the Kfir?
also we have the J-7E at 11.0 which is objectively better at everything then the Kfir Canard:

  • more missiles (4 instead of 2)
  • better missiles (30G instead of 18G)
  • more CMs (72 instead of 36)
  • better RWR (is not blind to J band)
  • better maneuverability (its a double delta)

You forgot the armor plating behind fuel tanks generating enough spall to kill entire crew and the recently added Hydraulic pump breaking your turret drive all the time from both side and front hull shots. It’s a repair simulator if you’re not dead on first shot and you can’t retaliate.

Air RB
F8U-2 10.0 > 10.3
it has flare/chaff also have good missle
i think it shold be 10.3
Kurnass 2000 12.3 > 11.7
6 python 3 is not worth 1.0 br in AirRB
Air AB
A2D 9.0 > 8.3
I think A2D is not worth in 9.

Vehicle: F-5C
Gamemode: Air Realistic
BR Change: 10.7 ----> 11.0
Reason: It has an extremely good flight performance, well suited for ARB and due to the limitations with how the game models IR signatures. Is completely cold, achieving IR lock with any missile is hard work and it has CMs that will instanteously defeat any and all missile, include all IRCCM missiles whilst sat on full-reheat and it was a rear-aspect shot. There is no justification to lower its BR other than its Premium and Gaijin wants a pay-to-win aircraft for the US.

It is impossible to deal with in aircraft such as the Sea Harrier FRS1e at 10.7 let alone 9.7s that dont have CMs and are sub-sonic such as the Hunter. If its BR drops down ALL 9.7-10.7s need to drop down 0.3 BR as well so that they can actually be playable

I mean the works to file in suggestions, there are no photos. I would argue kurnass 2000s are AMRAAM capable as well, but I dont have the money to bribe mossad agents to steal photos for me

Lancaster MR.7

This compared to the other Lancaster doesn’t even have the advantage of being able to drop big bombs in GRB.

Air RB, JA37D move it from 12.0 to 11.7. I see no reason for it to be over 0.7 higher than C variant only because it gets AIM-9Ls. It’s very similar to MiG-23MLD (which is 11.7) with only 2 good SARHs, better radar but worse flight model.
