“Lmao”? There is no salvation for this generation, go back to TikTok :))
Marder 1A3 move to 9_2 sim lineup. No idea why its 10_2 fighting IFVs and AFVs that it cannot pen with its AUTOCANON and Milan ATGM vs BMPTs T90 is useless and etc… while BMDs and BMPs wit better gun, missile launcher able to fire on move, 3rd gen thermals are in 9_2…
Due to the autoloader design, ammunition is always present in the turret and is neither isolated nor protected by blow-out panels. As a result, any penetration into the turret carries a very high probability of an immediate ammo detonation, which significantly reduces survivability.
Because of this structural characteristic, hull-down gameplay is far less effective than it may appear on paper. Even relatively minor or incidental turret hits often lead to instant destruction, making this a design-level vulnerability rather than an issue of player skill or positioning.
Regarding BR placement: if the addition of thermals alone is considered sufficient justification to move the T-80UD to 11.0, then this logic must be applied consistently. A direct precedent already exists - the T-80UD/BE currently operates at 10.7 with thermals, and it is neither dominant nor considered balance-breaking at that BR.
At present, the T-80UD/BE sits at 10.7 alongside vehicles that already combine thermals with superior gun depression, better reverse speed, faster turret handling, and greater overall flexibility. Treating thermals on the T-80UD as an automatic trigger for 11.0 BR increase introduces an uneven standard, rather than addressing actual in-game performance, survivability, and platform limitations.
I kinda am horribly surprised that the f18E is getting up tiered to 14.7 like it sucks because it probs shouldn’t, however what really confuses me is the GE is going to stay .3 lower while being better at everything except instantaneous turn performance and like 2 missiles IIRC.
Like I would understand the BR increase if both were getting moved up and like I said it would still suck for both of them but it would at least make sense, but them moving only the f18E up confuses the hell out of me.

F-15A shouldn’t be 12.7, it’s creating compression.

Mode: Ground Battles
Vehicles: Comet I, Comet “Iron Duke IV”, Swedish (Finnish) Comet I
Changes:
Option #1:
- AB: 5.0 → 4.7
- RB: 5.3 → 5.0
or Option #2:
- Keep BRs and reduce reload time from 9.6 → 7.4 s to somewhere like 7.6 → 5.9 s (that’s Concept 3’s reload time)
Reasoning: According to this The Comet Tanks Reload is Unjustifiably Bad topic, the loader in the Comet tank can reload faster than the in-game loader because the vertical bins are next to the loader. In addition, Comet I’s turret should be less cramped than Firefly’s, yet Firefly has a faster reload than Comet I’s. Reminder, Comet I has the same reload time as Tiger I’s, yet the Tiger I is only a BR step up and has infinitely better armor and reverse speed. This made totally no sense!! I strongly recommend lowering Comet I’s BR to justify the unchanged reload time, or I recommend copying Concept 3’s reload time for Comet I, since both use the same gun.

Which is funny given gaijin says hesh is a worse he shell than even heat
17kg of RDX just vanishing into the void
F-2A ADTW shouldn’t get AAM-4s until the F-2A has a way to distinguish itself, like AAM-5s.
The reason the ADTW is at 13.0 is mostly compression, but also the AESA radar, the insane Fox-2s, and the fact that it has some of the best flight performance in game.
Also compression.
They’re some of the best, if not the best 13.3s, but if they get moved up to 13.7 they’d suddenly become some of the worst planes at that BR.
Why fly the MKK when you have the J-11B? Why fly the MK2 when you have the Su-27SM?

Exactly people see compression and instead of thinking maybe they should decompresses above it they just think lower one vehicles BR not realising it creates the compression problem that caused this to begin with.
To be fair it is a common mistake when people aren’t focusing to hard on the overall issue which is fair most people don’t play multiple nations at top tier to gain that overview it took me until I grinded German Air as well.
To be fair it should be encouraged to play the tech tree variant rather than the easy premium copy I don’t see that as a bad thing however your overall point of the better alternative at the same BR if moved up is fully true.

I agree, TT vehicles should be better than premiums.
The main point was that there are better Flankers at 13.7.
Both of these should go up anyways
Making your argument kinda pointless here

oh 100% however the comedy of making premium players suffer in BR hell is funny,
To be fair they play top tier so poorly that there mostly fine at the BR there at now it just sucks that its because of compression and good players that they can be unfair to play against when there in a down tier.
The BRs just need more decompression. If we had like, 16.0 it would be much easier to balance.

Side note I think I rather would have seen a BOL or HMD addition to the f15A and see it stay 13.0 or 13.3 after some decompression in the whole 13.0-14.3 region this one is kinda lackluster if I’m honest and downright confusing in other cases. why they refuse to just add an extra 1-2 full BR brackets annoys me( yes I know the reasons like que times and “higher quantity of unique aircraft to fight”)

Just realized this.
Mode: Air Realistic Battles
Aircraft: A-7E (Japan)
Change: 10.7 → 10.3
Reasoning: On the Planned BR Changes, the A-7E (USA) is to move to 10.3 from 10.7 A-7E (Japan) is identical and should be included and moved to 10.3. Do not forget this!

the t-80ud has nothing to do at 10.3, it sits at the same BR as the t-72b, turms and t-64b after br changes, which are wildly inferior. This thermal argument is not a valid point to keep it there, there are other exact same vehicles at the same br, where one lacks thermals, such as the MBT-2000 and al khalid, where the khalid has 3rd gen and MBT 1st, which is an equal difference as no thermals and 2nd gen.

I assume it’s because they’re gonna be adding some new missiles to the F/A-18E.
But yeah, it shouldn’t be top tier.
