Planned Battle Rating Changes for October 2024

Pick a downtier bracket and you just seal club Mig-23MLDs. Not a lot they can do unless you encounter the 1 competant pilot, then you have to use your brain.

Does still struggle a little vs Mig-29s, but its more managable

But that would require gaijin to make bols better than large countermeasures (for flares). As the nerf to them is correct for chaff but even then it should be comparable to small rather than what we have now.

No, move it down as is.

The VEAK has radar.

I feel bad for the poor Gaijin intern who has to read 1800+ requests… then again they probably won’t even bother reading most of these and will skim through

Perhaps. though Id still take fixed BOL and Phimats at 12.3 than 1/4 strength BOL and no Phimats at 12.0.

You think they are reading any of this? theyll pick 5 comments at random and might implement some of them.

RB AMX-10P: 6.0 > 5.7 or stays at 6.0

The AMX-10P is very similar to the SUB I-II, which sits at 5.3. It has no business being an entire BR over it like this change is suggesting.

If they gave it the phimat pod then perhaps but i doubt it, plus i really doubt they have the knowhow to separate bol to make them large flares and small chaff. Although i could think of a couple ways i doubt they would be able to…

its not:

Weight difference is likely due to plastic casing on the BOL vs metal casing on the soviet chaff

The AMX-10P was a surprising amount of fun when I played it, it’s literally a low tier IFV. It should stay at 6.0 so that France can actually have a 6.0 lineup and it doesn’t do any harm at its current ranking

Some baffling changes to do with the F-14. I would never fly the F-14B over the Iranian F-14, the A has everything you could possibly want since the AIM-54A/C sucks so much compared to the Farkour. You just aren’t using the heat-seekers often enough for it to matter.

F-14B should be given 9M’s at this BR, or kept at the same spot.

Damn, really? The question is if they are ever going to fix it as the grippen gets bols…

Make them standard flares and standard chaff. The flares would be underperforming, but would be fine

Not so much at 12.3, you would be facing ALOT more 9ms and trying to doge one in a tornado is an ordeal. Being able to dump a large amount of large flares would help a tremendous amount.

Gripen is the only problem. What they need to do is model BOL flares properly (not as flares but “chaff” that produces an IR sig) and then overhaul IR sigs.

Though push come to shove, they could just remove 2x BOL from the Gripen. Though with most now needing Chaff, it would be fine and BOL flares would still burn for less time

Give the Iranian F-14 R-73’s and move it to the same BR as the F-14B

Air Realistic Battles, Mirage 4000, 13.0 > 12.7. Doesn’t have the range capability of the F-14s(and they are at a .3 lower br), along with the fact that the Su-27 that is being moved down to 13.0 has 10 air-to-air missiles that are better than the missiles that the Mirage 4000 has and it only has 8 air-to-air missiles.

Its better than nothing, especially considering all the airframes suffering due to BOL flares. if the choice is wait 10 years for Large Calibre BOL flares or standard BOL flares ASAP. I’d take standard BOL flares ASAP .

Tornado F3 Late remember does “fine” ish. Just struggles with the BOL chaff

Or simply move the grippen to 14.0, it would then not face anything with arh missiles (im on about the top tier one). The swedish one with no arh could be moved up as it with 4 9ms is perfectly capable of just dogiing any arh missiles coming at it tbh. I dont even play my grippen anymore as top tier is a cespit i would like to stay well the FUCK away from. Its a big factor why i would rather keep the nerfs to the bols and stay at 12.0. I literality dont play anything above 11.7 apart from my tornado.

The issue is for me with the f3, i can fight mig29s f16s etc but when i started to come across frequently, gripens, f15s f16Cs mirages etc after the f3 went to 12.0 i just felt i could.not touch them at all.

The f3 in arb, maybe need to use it in sim, is absolutely horrendous due to the flight characteristics
