Naval, USS Atlanta. 5.3 > 5.7. Fire power too strong for its current BR

MANY BR errors in the spreadsheet, seems like especially with the light tank GAB BR’s:
(Would also be nice to get a confirmation if the listed changes to their GAB BR’s are correct/being changed too, thanks!)
M1128 and the M1128 Wolfpack are currently 9.3 BR in GAB, not 10.0 BR:

I am still looking through more of the Light Tanks. As I have not yet found any errors with other vehicle types (or GRB errors), it would probably be a good idea to at least check all of the light tank GAB BR’s which are listed for changes.

@KurdistanAZAD @Devin_Wild I found a bunch more lol, lmk if you guys find any more and I will add them to my post here.

GRB Ariete AMV 12.0 > 11.7, its by a longshot the worst “top tier” tank in the whole game so it should not be brought up.

Air RB, Tornado F.3 Late, 13.3>13.0

Everyone seems to have forgotten about Tornado F.3 Late now. Its radar is very bad at 13.3 and only has a head-on attack mode. HDN radar cannot properly guide fox3 missiles after the first wave of fox3 spam. Its flight performance is no better than Tornado F3 which is already bad at 12.0 and the lack of HMD makes it completely useless at close range. AIM9M is good, but you rarely find a chance to fire it. It cannot compete with other aircraft at the same BR. In comparison, the JF-17 at the same BR has powerful diversified combat capabilities and superior maneuverability. JF-17 can compete with lesser 13.7 jets while Tornado F3 Late struggles to beat 13.0 jets in 1v1 combat. As a fighter, its performance in air combat is not even as good as attackers such as av8b+, which is ridiculous.

Naval RB, IJN Shimakaze 5.0 > 4.3

Shimakaze haves one single big issue, and that’s that the ship is decent in arcade battles thanks to the torpedo reload mechanic, this would be easily solved by making it the first ship to have separate arcade and realistic BRs in Naval (could be 4.3 in realistic, 4.7 in arcade) but just plainly bad in realistic.

It haves a good top speed, the highest number of torpedoes ready to be launched of any ship and a very decent late war AA suite.

Sadly, that’s where the good stuff ends, the ship haves the issue of torpedo slingers in WT depending heavily on either the maps or how the enemy plays; having open sea maps where you would think Shimakaze shines will just get you smoked by Helenas or Atlantas it can face on regular basis, and any downtier to 4.0 is negated by how maps at this br work.

This ship shouldn’t be balanced relying on only “but muh 15 torpedoes” especially when IJN Yuugumo have a higher count of torpedoes with the same top speed and more range, while Hatsaharu haves a higher sheer count of torpedoes while having less range and speed.

The guns are on par with other Japanese DDs at 4.0/4.3 BR: slow ROF, high muzzle speed but only HE and HE-TF with a filler comparable to what other nations get at lower BRs in their HE-VT shells.

As said on the top of the post, my proposal is to either change its BR to 4.3 only in realistic battles, or just agree to a middle ground of 4.7 in both modes, since in the end anyone can tell Shimakaze is NOT worth of the title of a 5.0 BR ship, and thus should be rebalanced.

Ground RB. Ferdiand/Elephant. 6.7 > 6.3. Extremly outdated tankdestroyers, since most of the sniping spots and maps are removed those tanks are useless. With a 23% and 30% win ratio respectively they need move down. They arent comparable to another 6.7 tank destroyers like SU-122-54 for example.

It depends.
J32B and Shenyang F-5 are quite awful in the current meta and should have the same BR as the CL-13B Mk.6.

Reminder, CL-13s aren’t problem… Except Italian model.

the kfir is sadly now 11.3, we are asking gaijin to lower its bc since atm its getting clapped by planes at its same br

Of course there’s a reason. People who play the M26 over the T26E5 are incredible cool 😎

It is incredibly that the Bis ISH is a lower BR than the Bis while the Saggitario 2 is the same BR as the Ariete, the performance difference actually matters there…
(actually the answer is just money i guess)

GRB Ariete PSO 11.7 > 11.3, much like the AMV the PSO and the regular ariete are probably the worst 11.3 vehicles in the game currently, so they should stay at 11.3.

It should have a faster RoF. Makes no sense that it’s so much worse than a Tiger II.

Agreed
I’m still waiting for them to fix the vehicles currently in game
They refuse to do it
They claim to try to make things realistic as possible
Yet
This comes from developers that think diesel explodes when a dart round hits it
When in the shop some boys took a welder to some diesel they brought in and nothing happened🤣🤣🤣

It has every radar mode and is one of the best radar in game.

Whilst it does have a lot of limitations, one of the biggest being virtually no usable CMs at the moment. This issue with the radar is simply not true.

Same as the XS, whichbhas no rwr at a heavily dominated radar BR. Though iirc the Kfir is lacking a J band which hurts a ton. Also limited missiles. But better flight performance and i think more CM. Both should be 11.0 and potentially 10.7 if 11.0 is bad.

Gaijin might decompressing battle rating max to 14.3 for fighter aircraft toptier in the january 2025. my guess

CL-13 MK.6 is a problem at 9.0
I do agree that the J32B and Shenyang F-5 aren’t particularly good vehicles, but I don’t think decompressing the 8.0-9.0 area is the way to go.

i agree, 11.0 is good
