Planned Battle Rating Changes for October 2024

Move the Venom from 8.7 to at least 8.3 or even 8.0. Compare it to MiG 15/bis and F86A-5 its really not a better plane. Hispanos dont really work and the acceleration is poor.
It used to be a very competitive plane at higher altitudes but now with missiles in the game it cannot take advantage of that performance. I think the reason for the Venom not being at a lower BR already is the fact that no one is playing it, giving gaijin no data.

Same with MiG-21 PFM

If you are raising the BRs of 9.3 supersonics like the Su-7, then the F-104 should be going up at least one, maybe two BR brackets. F-104 should not be still facing Yak-30s and F-86s.

Make the F-104A and C at least 9.7, preferably 10.0

Agreed

10.0 is too much without more decompression, but I agree.

Tbh, they moved the M26 at 6.7 few days after it was announced that it will be added in the French tech tree, and i always saw that as a pre nerf. And this is for me the only reasoning behind it going 6.7.

Air RB, Bf 109 Z, 4.7 > 4.0, or add air defense fighter spawn. This plane has good climb rate and speed, but this is only advantage it has. The maneuverability of this aircraft is so poor that even bombers like the B-25 are more agile than it. Although it has four MK108s as weapons, it is very difficult to use due to its poor trajectory and velocity, this gives it no advantage against any fighter at same BR unless opponent didn’t notice your attack. In summary, this terrible airplane really needs a lower and more suitable BR to improve its experience, or it should have a air defence fighter spawn like Hornt Mk.III in game.

Ground RB, Kugelblitz. 7.0 > 6.7
Instead of standing proudly amongst his mighty colleagues at 6.7 in one of the best lineups in the game, this old, slow and forgotten vehicle is trying to battle the ultra fast jets in the uptier at 8.0. The fate of this vehicle is exactly one of those examples where over-anxiety and the pursuit of balance has absolutely eliminated any enjoyment of the game and the vehicle itself. His position in the tech tree makes no sense and yet it is only a 0.3 difference. Please let’s take this vehicle back to where it belongs at 6.7 and give it its purpose again.

Should the F-4E Phantom II’s battle rating be lowered?

A-4E from 8.7 to 8.3 → because it’s not fast enough to reach enemy bases in time and it’s not maneuverable enough to dogfight enemy planes and becomes very vulnerable

Ground Chieftain Mk 10 don’t need go to 9.3, 9.0 is proper.

The F-111A, a aircraft very similar in the sense that it only carries AIM-9Bs and is very fast in a straight line but has terrible manueverability and energy retention, lies at 10.3. Only difference being it has flares. Mind you, the F-4C lies at 10.0 and does not have flares. They’re moving the Su-7, which is worse in every way, to 9.7, which also doesn’t have flares. I think the F-104C lines up perfectly with Gaijin’s 10.0 logic. Would it be fair for it to face all aspect carrying subsonics? No. But that’s a different issue.

A-5C rank 6 > 7. Reason: its now 10.7, the Q-5L is rank 7. A-5Cs rank is lower than what its BR should be. It should be put at rank 7 to reflect its high BR.

Gets countermeasures at 8.7, which is quite crazy. The A-4B is in a worse position.

Believe it or not, this is compression disguised as decompression, following some balancing changes like the addition of new ammunition for some tanks that would completely suck if they were left on their own.

GRB 12.0 was intented to push the current top dogs of the meta apart from the mid platforms, and thus, push the spawn cost of good tanks to at least level the field from the SP perspective. This balancing proposal is overall precarious for Ground purposes.

The piranha is unfortunately worse the the Aim-9L

  • Shorter burn time= short range
  • Pull more G and is faster BUT fly straight for like 1sec before it start turning turning so it fly past the target in close range
  • Smaller lead circel
  • Bigger fov (easier to flare)

A lot of other things are being moved up in BR.

Omg my Chieftain MK10 lol please don’t ruin my lineup bro 9.0 already has nothing there and if you remove the only mbt from there then it will become a dead br.

Breda 501 is fine at 4.7 stop increasing its BR to absurd levels especially since you don’t give it its full crew? After all, this tank should have 8 crew members and not 5.

Its weaknesses are:

  • Low speed in reverse.
  • Low turret translation.
  • Vulnerable to machine guns
  • Completely vulnerable to aircraft: as soon as you destroy a tank, the enemy takes the aircraft and then immediately destroys you.
  • HE bullets destroy you in one shot

Conclusion: Breda 501 should not be moved by BR. Leave it at BR 4.7

And now let’s talk about the Italian Ariete… All the Ariete have still been increased in BR what an absurd joke… Gaijin have you made up your mind to give him missing real armour, or do you still claim that Aries weighs 60 tons of air?

Python 3 is not that good man. Its literally just a slightly improved Aim-9L. It uses the exact same seeker as the Aim-9L and has a extremely similar turning circle to the Aim-9L, as the acceleration negates the G-Pull in terms of being able to hit more shots the Aim-9L can’t.
It’s just a glorified Aim-9L, that also had more drag and weight added to the aircraft when carried. And it’s still a Phantom that’s its mounted on, and a phantom that lack HMD or Radar missiles at that…
