Thats “the most trolliest opinion of the year” for sure…
Yeah, I believe the Leo was balanced at 7.3 relative to other vehicles 7.0-7.7. It ought to be 7.7 now, with a significant disadvantage over every other 8.0 and overrated mobility. With situational awareness the mobility of the enemy matters far less, and unless you plan to spawn camp, your mobility matters little so long as you can get to battle around the same time as your allies.
War Thunder never has been intended to be the “brain turn off point and click” heavy meta that wehraboos want. If you want invincible heavy tanks, go play WoT. When a heavy vehicle has firepower equivalent to a lighter, less armoured vehicle but superior armour, it deserves to be at a higher BR. The Jagdtiger is extremely well protected and holds its own against most 7.7 guns, which either have lower pen than the PaK 44 or horrific spalling. And with a bit of patience its 18 seconds reload is not a significant disadvantage. Just pull back into cover for a couple seconds between shots.
Maybe the heavy vehicles are just not for you and do not match your playstyle, but that does not mean that they are extremely powerful for the BR.
While it’d be nice to see decompression further, early MBTs CANNOT go any higher up in BR without everything else decompressing as well. The previous BR decompression really fucked over 7.7-8.7 far more than it helped decompress the relatively uncompressed 6.7 BR.
Unfortunately, it is impractical to expect a huge, perfect decompression change in the short term. Decompression will come in stages, and 5.7-6.7 needs decompressed far more urgently than 6.7-7.7 needs to maintain its decompression.
Both the T1E1 and M6A1 use cast armor on the front of the hull and the turret. It’s just that the M6A1 then uses welded armor for the rest of the hull, while the T1E1 continues to use cast armor.
That said, the armor really isn’t that much different between the two.
Too strong vs what?
If you mean planes then no, it has very low firerate, if I want to shoot down planes, I have higher chance with .50 cal on any sherman.
The only thing thats making them usefull is ability to pen tanks from side.
Also, 4.3 AA is in no way better than 4.0 AA except for max speed and its not like they are borderline OP, nobody would come here complaining if it would get lower by 0.3 BR.
so that is the problem… the aim 9L…
those airplanes are ok. soviet airplanes are the major power … at those brs… and i think you do a mistake here… cause the A10 late is at 10.3 and the A6 are on 10.0… not 9+ so… all the airplanes have flair and chaff’s … i still dont see your point here…
the russia anti air in the game at those brs are over powered… and can take out airplanes very easy … like the strela … there is nothing better than that… or the 2S6…
i told you that the problem is in the teams you are… not the vehicles that are not so op as you believe .

I need to address this as its very important:
T-129 should never go up in br past 10.0, even 10.0 is honestly pushing it, unless you give it another atgm like agm-114B or the fire and forget UMTAS (11.7 then)
L-UMTAS have a range of 8km which is fine but I can with a strait face say you will never get a kill that far off as the speed of the missile is an abysmal 180 m/s. To put it into perspective it takes 52 second for the missile to reach 8km at best conditions.
Please rethink this and remember you’re moving the A129CBT to 10.3 as well when it does have hellfires
in ground … yes there are… and came in flocks… that can take out the 80% of the remaining teams. and you stay alone in the match… and you have to face them and you try but they came like hawks … over you and eat you… those planes are more dangerous in comparison with the A6 and A10… and especially in ground… what can stop a truck that forget to pick the damage … and the same time the A10 took everything in one shot.
Pt-76b at least 6.0 its stupid at 5.3. Can pen everything is fast and small i would rather see him more than 6.0
This is the worst decision since the great economy scandal of 2023. if you go through with it it effectively makes the US tech tree useless. For example, why is the M-18 at 5.7? The super hellcat is at a correct BR with its 90mm but the stock is way over classed. It should be that the M-18 is 4.7, the M-36 at 5.3(as it lacks the HEAT round) and the M-36B at 5.7.
raising the Pershings to 6.7 makes them as useless as a screen door on a submarine. The super Pershing is another egregious example. There is no way the reload should be almost 15 seconds when other vehicles with the same gun is sub 10 second reload. IMO the M-36B is a more effective vehicle than it. Moving up the Shermans is the same issue. You are over classing as the 75mm has one of the lowest pen in the br at only 103mm when Russian and German guns are surpassing 150mm.(Hypershot is 149 but its effectively broken due to volumetrics. I can’t tell how many times I’ve shot a Tiger at a perfect 90 degree shot and the round ricochets). HEAT is also broken as it also ricochets when it shouldn’t

We are back to the same situation where Germany 6.0-6.7 was heavily compressed, going up against HEAT-FS slingers and post-war tanks that outclassed them in terms of firepower and mobility. The BR was decompressed so that this wouldn’t happen, yet Gaijin proves once again that they are completely unwilling to increase the BR to 13.0 for ground.
Seriously, Tiger E is going up against an IS-3? Come on.

in general i will agree with your ideas… except 2 things…
M51… in capable players is op … but in my hand… and the majority is lost cause… a real free kill…
the Ratel 20… is also a free kill… if you have a 50cal…the rocket after the nerf on then is not so useful… and the gun… meh… meh!!
Damn so many skill issue here mate.
Thats a joke right?
If you are taking damage in A-10 then you are using it 100% wrong. It can simply outrange any AA at its BR.
Seriously are you not trolling enough? Hes talking about matchmaking in 10.0 range and you know that doesn’t mean “10.0” only.
Yeah if you are taken out by strela and 2s6 then you are simply calling out you either have no skill to use mavericks or have no knowledge

Harrier Gr.7 and PLUS at 12.3 is not correct in my opinion.
AIM-9Ms sure but they aren’t supersonic, have bad energy retention, no radar or radar missiles (which are top tier meta right now), are not very maneuvreable at speed and get instantly slammed in VTOL mode because they are going too slow.
11.7 was fine for the top Harriers, unless we get the Gr.9 with Brimstones (Which offer no help in air battles anyway) or the Sea Harrier FA2 with AIM-120 AMRAAMS, which are far too powerful (and probably classified) to be implemented.
My point is that Harriers should be 11.7, not 12.3.
Not to mention, Tigers and Panthers are fine as they are. Don’t change them unless EVERY vehicle above 5.3 gets moved up .3 of a BR. Tigers already suffer in uptiers so just decompress the entire game for the lower tiers if you really want to change something there.
Gaijin I think you have your answer on how bad this is when your post has only 14 likes and almost a thousand replies in under 24 hours. You’ve been ratio’ed to the ground. We feel that you are trying to secretly revert back to your old ways but the community is seeing past it and are rising up again. If you do this I feel that there is another review bomb in the future

The thing is that the t-54 1947 has a more noticeable weak point on the turret but that’s not the problem, the problem is that you’re going to take a bit longer to aim the turret of the t-54 whereas with the heat-fs it’s only going to take 2 seconds especially since there’s the to-55 in 8.0 it’s not the same because its turret is a bit rounder and it has a stabiliser.
Because it is insanely mobile and the 76 mm works very well with that mobility in mind.
No other tank in the game has the exact same gun as the Super Pershing.
Only the M4A1 (76) is going up in BR. Every other Sherman is currently staying put.
Besides that, the M4A1 (76) is too good for 4.7, so it being 5.0 is fine.

Firstly, you don’t put the R73 in MIG29-9-12 even though it is in the archives and it is always in 12.3 games, now you kill the German 5.7, congratulations gaijin!!!
