Planned Battle Rating changes for the month of October

Germany’s F-4F need BR changes at SB, It lacks a radar missile but its SB BR is still higher (F-4F at 11.0) than F-4E (it has a radar missile at 10.7)

you make it too obvious with the “lady doth protest too much” act

Game Mode:Air Simulator
Vehicle:
1)F2G Super Corsair:Current BR 6.7 ------>Should be: 6.0 ----->Reasoning:Has similar performance with F4U Corsair,but it is armed with only 6 50 cals instead of cannons ;has same performance with the F8F-1 and similar armament.This plane has no place at 6.7 fighting jets that have way better performance and more lethal armament.Keep in mind that with the BR rotation it gets to be 6.7 lobbies only 2 days and even there it is vastly inferior performance and armament to P51H,He162,TA152(which sits at 5.7?),ME262,two versions of Yak15,Griffon Spitfires,Kikka,J21RA.There is literally no reason for it to sit at 6.7 when it cant hold a candle even when its top tier br.Nerf its economy numbers if you have to,but bring its br to a place where it’s competitive and where there are players to play against.
Nerf its economy numbers and bring its br down to 6.0 .Revisit its br if you need at a later date,but you won’t need to.Nobody is playing this plane in sim.

2)M.B.5:Current BR:4.7----->Should be:5.0 ----->Cmon guys,its a Super P51 armed with cannons.

Sir, I don’t even know what you’re talking about in that quote of yours.
I possess all* of the female avatars in War Thunder.
*There might be an unknown amount that I’ve missed gathering.

The only Soviets I played this month is Object 279, and attained a KDR equivalent enough to all other heavy tanks I possess. Every death of mine was one shot by DM33 & HEATFS…

Other than that I’ve been playing Sweden, Italy, USA, Japan, and China.
Taking a break for now.

These changes are fine, more vehicles can & should be added sure. Soviet stuff is on the list a lot, rightfully so for decompressing 4.7 - 5.7.

I can understand moving most of the 11.0 Helicopters to 11.3 but why did you leave Ka-50 at 11.0 ??? that thing is the biggest threat !!! it has longer-range missiles than {AH-1Z,Peten,Rooivalk Mk1F CSH,AHS,AH-64A,AH-64A Peten (USA),AH-64A Peten (USA),AH-64A (GR) (USA)} it has like 9 lives and it can fly without a tail ?? do Thermals make that much of a difference ?? NO

What is the reasoning behind raising the battle ratings of the wheeled vehicles such as the Type 16 and Centauros from 9.3 to 9.7? They are currently in a balanced state in very good lineups, raising the BRs so much will mainly contribute to seeing vehicles from 10.0 to 10.7 since uptiers are near guaranteed. 105mm DM33 and shells like it are strong but that cannot be the only reason for these vehicles to see such an increase. I only ask to understand the reasoning.

everything mid gets its be changed but the vidar will still ruin the game for others around br of 7.7
wow thanks gaijin

Not only shells. Adding 3rd gen TVD and laser rangefinder is quite enough for the type16 to raise BR

I blacklist every player that plays that thing until gaygin comes to their senses. I guess if your gonna pay $600 for something that is clearly PTW that’s fine but I’m gonna hit that BL button .

TVD does not make a huge difference when the player in control of the vehicle can see decently well with lesser TVDs, and any vehicle at BRs 8.7 and above that does not have a laser rangefinder is automatically miles lesser than the competition

Srsly? Have you really tried both gen1 and gen3? Gen1 is literally unusable campared to gen3 and even gen2. And I’m not talking about rangefinder it self. Its about the combination of TVD and rangefinder

None of the Chinese mid tier ZTZ MBTs should go up in tier
The ZTZ88A, ZTZ88B and T-69 II G are not equal to the WMA301, PTL02 and AFT09.
And why would anyone use the ZTZ MBTs at 9.0 when they are given the choice of the latter?
Seriously that makes SEVEN vehicles at 9.0 including the M60A3 TTS.
It makes to sense to stack one BR so heavily.

F-4C / T-2 / F-1 receiving CM pods won’t make a difference, As they only carried chaff and no flares. It would just be a chaff only pod like the F-105

Their stats are better in every way with vehicles like BVM, Pantsir, Ka52, Mig27K. No cherrypicking needed.

I have access to TVDs from Gen 1s all the way to Gen 3s, if you are decent enough at the game you can just as easily spot targets, especially since the great majority of maps are close quarters, and again, you will not have many vehicles that have TVD without a laser rangefinder, it is common at these BRs

No, the Churchill NA75 does not deserve anything less than a 4.0, let alone a 3.7. It makes no difference if it is missing the vertical stabilizer or APCR ammunition. It is also not a Churchill III. The turret is significantly more resilient than the original Churchill III. Furthermore, how does it lack the survivability of Sherman? That tank is far more survivable than any Sherman.

In your logic, for tanks such as KV-1E:

  • It lacks the T-34’s mobility.
  • It lacks APCE to deal with said heavy opponents frontally.
  • It lacks a stabilizer.
  • It lacks a .50 cal.

Sounds like it is time to move KV-1E to 3.3 then.

Sorry, I was tired and I did a mistake. I wanted to say “Ka-50” not Ka-29. Too many people spam this helicopter in Ground RB and there are matches where anti-air struggles to deal with them.

If there’s one thing wrong with these changes, it’s
M26 to 6.7
Why? Because now we’ve M26, M26E1, T26E5 and T26E1-1 all in the same BR. What does M26 offer that the others don’t already do better?
Even more, M26 T99 is unchanged at 6.3. Why? It’s M26 with rockets bolted on. Assuming I dump the rockets, I’ve now M26, but still at 6.3.

Of course many vehicles that have TVD have the laser range finder. But many vehicles with laser rangefinder does not have TVD. And even if thats the case, sure almost the whole Soviet tech tree around 9.3 isn’t big enough.

But it’s not artillery. it’s tank destroyer and it doesn’t have thermals gen 3 and darts needs to aim crew/ammo. 9kg TNT don’t need aim anywhere, just hit center of mass xd

9kg TNT HE on vidar one shots literally every mbt in turret roof or under tank, basically u just need to hit center of mass. with gen 3 thermals u can spot enemies MUCH easier. Turn thermals ON, find a target, LRF and click and enjoy the frag bc 9/10 hit are overpressure.

If there would be 1v1 Vidar vs PTZ89 then vidar would win every single game. Bc thermals, especially gen 3 is a HUGE advantage.
And what PTZ89 have apfsds when u can’t see the enemy? Even 20mm wiesel would win just bc of thermals…
