F-15A/Js should not be moving down, they’re fine where they’re at (imo they’re some of the better 13.0s in the game, having everything but fox 3 missiles).

F-16A Netz should go to 12.3, there is a straight upgrade (F-16A OCU) in the French tech tree at the same br and Python 3 doesn’t warrant a br step increase over the regular F-16A.

Kurnass 2000 should move to 12.0, it’s not an equivalent to the F-16A or F/A-18A at the same br at all.

The Su-30MK/K should be moved up to 13.7, I doubt this needs to be explained, they’re completely busted at 13.3, straight upgrades over the other 13.3 planes, especially the MiG-29SMT (in this case everything but radar and ~30cms).

F/A-18E is already the worst 14.3 and you expect it to perform well at 14.7? It’s worse than some of the 14.0s in the game, so it should stay at 14.3.

This is true, but the more mods suck, the more money Gaijin makes

Mode: Naval AB & RB

Vessel: Krischan der Große

Change: 2.7 → 2.3

Reasoning: Slow, fragile, and under-armed. A single 88mm gun is insufficient to handle common threats at its BR.

Vehicle: SAAB F-35

Gamemode: GRB

Change: 10.7 > 10.3/10.0

Reason: As of now, it doesn’t make any sense for F-35 to be at its current BR.
Weaponry is rather weak for 10.7, using only bombs and unguided rockets is incredibly hard against SPAA’s of similiar BR’s

SPYDER 12.7 → 12.0
The SPYDER is a very weak system with very short range missiles which have a very large minimum engagement distance. Even with the addition of I-Derby ER, its performance would still not be compareable to other systems as it will be an ARH missile with an even larger minimum engagement distance which provides launch warning to enemies and can be multipathed.

Mirage 4000
air realistic
13.0 --) 12.7
Why : Mirage 4000 is a f15a counterpart, with the f15a/j going to 12.7 it’s only normal that this one go down too.

It lacks the armour to be put 12.0 and having M829A1
the Leopard 2A4M is has atleast armour to shrug of shots and keep going, the M1A1 doesn’t benefit that at all
the Turret it can be penned by 3BM42
the turret ring is still a massive weakspot
it only good thing about it is the Speed and reload rate, with M829A1 shell penning.
Other wise the armour is the massive draw back.

Falcon

Ground RB 8.3 → 7.3

It’s going to be trash at anti air and anti ground now so why didn’t it move?

theres no way mig29g now sits at a higher br than f15a/j

Can the ranks of identical vehicles between tech trees be broadly unified? There are so many examples where one tree has the exact same vehicle but at a higher rank than the other.

M24
Rank II - China, USA (also France AMX-13-M24)
Rank III - Italy, Japan, Denmark

AML 90
Rank IV - Israel, South Africa (Eland 90)
Rank V - France

Centurion Mk 3, Mk 5 / Strv 81
Rank IV - UK, UK (Strv 81 RB52), Israel (Sho’t)
Rank V - Sweden, Australia (Mk 5/1)

M113A1 (TOW)
Rank V - China
Rank VI - Italy, Israel (Giraf)

M18 GMC
Rank III - USA
Rank IV - China, Italy

M36B1/B2 GMC
Rank III - France, USA

There are definitely other examples, but these are the ones i have written down

Mode: Naval AB & RB

Vessel: VS-8

Change: 2.7 → 2.3

Reasoning: VS-8 has a significant weakness - guns. Its 15mm guns perform poorly at long range and overheat & jam easily. Being a hydrofoil boat, its handling is also tricky, as grounding the hydrofoils results in catastrophic beaching.

Compared directly to the FRS1e, there is no chance for that. Even 11.0 puts it directly into competition with the FRS1 and AV-8S (Late) which is extremely hard to justify.

Instead I would advocate for buffing the T-10. Its got plenty of options like fixing BOL, adding its 2x missing BOL or an extremely novel idea… fixing the Harriers!

no.

Give it 9m and put it at 12.0 where the GR7 should also be

Mode: Naval AB & RB

Vessel: VS-10

Change: 3.0 → 2.7

Reasoning: VS-10 has a significant weakness - guns. Its 15mm guns perform poorly at long range and overheat & jam easily. Being a hydrofoil boat, its handling is also tricky, as grounding the hydrofoils results in catastrophic beaching.

Amx-30 DCA

Ground RB 8.7 → 7.7

Same thing as the Falcon but it has a radar

8 Likes

Mode: Naval AB & RB

Vessel: Bernau

Change: 3.3 → 3.0

Reasoning: Lacks torpedoes and cannot effectively damage destroyers in the 3.3–4.3 range. The Strela-2M ammo rack in the bow is also a major weak spot and can easily result in detonation.

The t64b being 10.3 is so stupid it melts my brain. When the t80ud is at the same br lol.

0.93 KDR per statshark for the last month, it wont be moved.

Mode: Naval AB & RB

Vessel: Pr. 206 and Pr. 206 (Germany)

Change: 4.3 → 4.7

Reasoning: One of the best Cold War versatile boats that’s currently overperforming due to rapid-firing 30mm cannons and powerful torpedoes. They can shred WWII-era coastal boats with little effort and should be moved up.
