I agree with the point on VBCI-2 getting pushed into a less populated BR, but 9.7 is becoming less of a no mans land with it up there. If they end up adding a new 9.7 the next update or in december, 9.7 could become a viable lineup for france. Mephisto and Santal can definitely still perform well at 9.7, too.
Pushing vehicles onto seperated BRs is a weird thing, populating a BR that already has tanks isn’t always a bad thing.
The VBCI-2 excells over 9.3 IFVs with an empty turret and better speed, letting it reach flanks faster. flatter profile isn’t always superior depending on the cover you can get behind (esp with an empty turret peaking over the cover). the VBCI-2 being a bus with lots of empty space also means it’s more survivable than the CV9030 or Begleit. Plus, like you said, LWS (HUGE benefit vs helis, considerable one against tanks) and better thermals. I think it fits well between the 9.3 and 10.0 IFVs, being better than the former and worse than the latter.

Yeah but the M-62 cannon only showed up with the T-10M. You can’t have a T-10A with the power of the M-62, as that simply does not exist.
It’s either T-10A, or T-10M.

Yeah that’s fair enough. The T-54-122 seems to have a similar cannon but also has 3BM-7 and 3BM-10
At least you won’t die from an undodgeable missile.
To begin with, it is still a supersonic aircraft, and considering that 8.3-10.3 BR is now compressed to ridiculous levels, the F-100D should not have the same BR as pre 1953 jets, and your idea of further compressing the 9.0 BR and below, with the balancing-unfriendly Gaijin It is such a dangerous idea that it is twinned.

What i think:
→ MIG-21SPS-K → should stay 10.0
→ Su-25BM → should stay 11.3
→ i would put all MiG-21F13 and PFM at 9.7 instead of current 9.3 → i played them lately they’re too good for their BR.
→ i would also decompress BR over 7.3
the current matchmaker is either putting you at +1.0 or -1.0 depedning on your BR, because of the hard cap that is 12.3 aspirating every aircrafts down to 11.3, then 11.0 doingthe same with 10.0 aircrafts, ecaetera.
The BR should also be reworked alongside the High differences of technologies allowed within BR range.

Changes for Air RB:
J2M2 from 4.3 to 4.7 after getting “up-ranked” from rank II to III seems reasonable, but what is with the equally up-ranked XP-55? Or the Yak-3?
After real shatter 2.0 the damage increase of 20mm made the life for the last 2 mentioned planes at 4.3 (all Air RB) much easier, even with limited ammo count i see Yak-3s every second match with 3-4 kills with one ammo load - and the XP-55 with 4 ((!!!) 20mm in the nose shall stay at 4.3 too?
Think about putting Yak-3 and XP-55 to 4.7 too…,
And - downtiering the F4U-4b to 5.7 was ok due to the 20mm underperforming - but now they need to go up again.
And the F4U-4 (same plane with 0.50 cals) is outperforming its 4.7 opponents severely - so it needs its 5.0 back…
As i am tired to write about Wyverns - just think about the fastest 4.0 plane at sea level with 1.200 rounds 20mm and look at the top 10% of their players (and their statistics) and you might see why 4.0 for Air RB is far too low…

I was considering the F-100D to be somewhat equal to planes like the Lim-5P, F-86F-2. Mig-17, etc. It might have the speed advantage but it is at a big disadvantage in a dogfight.
The question is: what is the source?

M26 shouldn’t be the same BR as the Tiger II H, that vehicle just ignores your armor and forces you to use mediocre low damage APCR to have a chance to fight back, and even shooting his barrel isn’t really reliable after the damage model changes. They aren’t anywhere equivalent, this is just terrible balance.
Neither should Tiger II P be the same BR as the Tiger II H. Neither should the IS-2 1944 be the same BR as the Tiger II H when it’s worse at every possible way.

IMO a tank that has to load a specific shell just to pen the weakspot of something shouldn’t be the same br, and yes the same goes for the T-44 but at least it has mobility on its side

It have other advantages, a good F-100D will be unscathed by all Subsonic aircrafts

I never had problem kill M-26 in KT-2H/P
object 279 should stay at 8.7 at the moment !
object 279 should be moved to 9.0 when rank 8 gets added !
why ?
object 279 at 9.0 will be outclassed by everything and face dm33+ rounds.
also object 279 have no thermals or laser range finder and no smoke only ESS which does not help against tank with thermals and object 279 have only BR-482B no heat or apdfs rounds.
object 279 is limited event tank with good players it’s (limited event tank only can be obtained in the market for 600$+ price) this tank have no place to face 10.0 tanks at the moment.
when rank 8 get added and br 12.3 or 12.7 get added a lot of these 9.3+ tank should be moved to 10.3+ and then 279 can be moved up but 279 face 10.0 not fair for both 7.7 tanks and object 279.

If it decides to run, sure. But in an active dogfight it will just be free food for Mig 15s and Sabres
Don’t forget that french one only has AIM-9B and not AIM-9E
If you do enter a Dogfight with those aircrafts then you already made mistakes ^^"
French one is doomed because Gaijin doomed the whole French TT since the start,…
Massives issues of every aircraft/tanks, that took nearly 2 years to be fixed at some point.
And even now Magic-II Missile is not modelized at it’s full capability.

That’s exactly what he is saying, that the Tiger IIs don’t have issues killing the M26.

That is true but you can’t do much. You can’t sling missiles because they are only AIM-9B and boom and zoom won’t get you far in jet br

As someone who has fought F-100s in those planes, I can confirm, F-100s are easy prey in aa dogfight.
move the kugelblitz to 6.7 or even lower. It’s a ww2 spaa and has no line up at 7.0
