Planned Battle Rating Changes for October 2024

Plane: strikemaster
Mode: all
Br: 6.3 - 6.3
Change: give it the ability to select ammo belts, like come on why cant you selecta mmo belts?

so the British javelin being at 8.3 is more fair? a plane that has more 30mm cannons and by far better missiles is more fair than putting the gr1 in that br? how does that make any sense

I somehow very much doubt that, otherwise you would know how much of a pain the skyshits can be. And with the bol nerfs you can no longer guide a missile while notching (even at the 80-85 degree of bore lock you can hold with the fox hunter). Just shows how shit the bols are now…

i knew it was a tiny difference but not much

Great changes. Long overdue for top tier ground to be decompressed. Keep bringing in new SPAA to fill the gaps.

as they push older radar guided spaa into the area capable of seeing 6.3? yah good decompression

m163 shooting down your ww2 bomber in an average map lol… Already a shulka down their anyway.

the vehicle shouldnt have been added in the first place. Now that we cant remove it it should just be 7.7 and be left to be pointless… it makes no sense to keep adding these more modern vehicles to lower ranks diluting the game’s identity

nah, makes no sense from balance nor era

the javelin is twice the wing size, a delta, loses more speed, has arguably the same level of bad missiles, and cant break 1000kmph or it blows its wings off sustained. the harrier can go nearly the speed of sound, it would be maybe okay at 9.3 but why on earth should it go to 8.7? in that area its sraams would be unstopable due to it being able to get so close to enemies that cant effectively dodge it. e.g yak23

edit, im not gonna argue with you over this ive played for half a decade and seen what some of these jets do when compressed. no, pushing things down so far isnt the answer. at all

No idea why they didnt add another spaa to replace it but then folder it with it so as to not require people to grind it. Really shouldnt be bellow 8.0.

yah it is bonkers tbh isnt it

The harrier gr 1 should stay at 9.7 but gaijin should fix the range on the sraams to its irl 2km range along with its all aspect capabilities. This along with the red tops all aspect capabilities as well and then fix the fucking g limit. They gave it tis minimum g limit while the old fm of it was perfectly fine. And now thier moving up the sea vixen? makes no sense. buff both missiles then move the sea vixen to 9.3 and keep the harrier at 9.7.

NOW that is a more sound and far more intelligent request for both missiles and plane.

totally agree man, would also make the hunter F6 actually deserve the 9.7 BR

TBF the leo 2k does stomp in downtiers, but that doesnt mean it should be the same br as a t72b. A fix for this is to move the t72 up but we all know thatll never happen.

9.3 would still put it in the range of planes that have flares when 8.7 would completely disregard its possibility of being put against flares, and when i casually turn in the gr1 i lose about 350-400kmph just from one turn leaving me vulnerable to faster planes like the a5 to catch up and destroy me

the leo2k is supperior tothat t72 in everything bar the round and the armour.

ive got it with an aced crew , at 9.7 the leo2k is absolutely abhorantly OP man and no one can convince me otherwise. i keep it in my 11.3 lineup, its more mobile than the 2a4, has better turret traverse, has a 20mm autocannon, has a better shape, and has better optics i believe bar the no thermals.

the 2k is seriously 10.0 worthy man. id definitely say its the best 9.7

that is a total skill issue.

your excuse to you getting shot down by a plane better than you is to force the harrier into a realm where with a semi competant pilot it would be beyond untouchable, the harrier does not lose that much speed in a turn unless you sustain a turn and force more Gs than are needed. at all. rather than push the harrier down, give its missiles the correct stats for what it had IRL and itll be alright where it is.
