its better than the XM800T since you can’t kill anything stock with that, they should remove the HVAP stock and just give it DM63 from the get-go, I mean you can’t even kill an IKV-91 frontally ffs

Vehicle: AGS

BR change: Move it down to 11.3/11.0

Reasoning: It’s just a tracked M1128 minus the good M900 shell idk what it’s doing fighting BVMs and 2A7Vs with a shell with just ~350mm of pen, unless you are a sharpshooter you may as well be cannon fodder. But I digress, it’s only ever used by people who actually know their stuff…

Chieftain Mk10

Ground RB 9.3

Add L23A1 and the engine upgrade

Yeah… maybe we need to start playing as badly as the Americans do, and we could have the Tornado F3 at 11.3

Give it its HEAD or stingers to push it up till armour doesn’t matter, they can add GLAADS or something at 8.3 to compensate

Vehicle: J-10C
Mode: Air RB
Change: BR 14.3 - > 14.0
Reason: It doesn’t have the flight performance to make use of the kit, it’s just not competitive against Eurofighters, Rafales or Su-30SM2s. It’s significantly worse than most current 14.3 planes.

Alternatively, a version with WS-10B may resolve the issues.

I’m a little bit disappointed in these br changes. There are so many vehicles and brs that need attention that have just been ignored or have even in some cases been shafted even harder. For example: The Phantom FG1, it’s at 12.0 and in this current matchmaker it consistently fights 12.3 and 12.7, in my experience it actually performs quite well against other jets at its own br, but this happens soo rarely that it might as well not be a factor. On top of that, these br changes will make it fight jets like the F15 even more likely, a fight I have only managed to win once out of hundreds of games.

And instead of doing things that would help br compression like mass increases of br to give room below them, they increase the br of the only “viable” chieftains? I get that having a dart + laser + good armour + stabilizer is a bit crazy against 8.0, but it’s not deserving of putting it as the same br as the KPZ 70 or T64A.

Chieftain mk3/mk5

Ground RB
8.7 → 8.3

chieftains are in an awful position rn, they’re as good as the m60a1 AOS but at a higher BR, and it’s just as protected- m60a1 not having the LFP weakspot and can work from any position without having to be stuck hull down -, but both are slower and more sluggish than the m60 AOS. it’s absurd to have them in that br when the olifant mk1 is at 8.3 with m111 darts and a laser range finder

Chieftain Mk900

Ground RB 9.0 → 9.0

It should stay at 9.0. In what world is this equivalent to the Magach 7C at 9.3?

Nope we get the Frs.1 at 11.3

I don’t even know how it’s that high considering its kit and flight performance.

Granted I think I’m the only one who plays it.

FV4005

BR: No change

Change:

Reduce reload (suggested 30s down to between 20 - 25 seconds), Fix top speed

In a Previous battle rating changes the KV-2s had their reload reduced, the FV4005 is held back by an extremely inconsistent shell, A reduced reload will much aid in this aspect

and an incorrect top speed

Suggestion
Vehicle: Wessex HU.5
Modes: All
Current BR: 9.0
New BR: 9.0 (remain the same)

Adjustment: reduce the RP requirement for the Wessex to a significantly lower level, recommending between 110k RP and 150k RP.

Reason: The Wessex should not cost in excess of 300k RP to research, given it is a Rank 5 vehicle. For context, a Rank 6 aircraft costs substantially less than this to research. This excessive RP cost prevents the player from progressing down the helicopter tree in a natural manner.

Vehicle affected: Tornado IDS RET.8
Suggestion: Give AIM-9M, place at 12.0 and keep at Rank VIII. Currently there is no significant difference between the 11.7 IDS and with this vehicle. This vehicle at its current state is offered in Tornado ASSTA as a modification, not a seperate one.

i could imagine the mk 11 at 9.3 but it’s not a bloody mk 11 is it

Ozelot

Ground Realistic

9.7 → 9.3

Reason: Every other nation with Manpad SPAA has one at 9.3.
The Ozelot is also outclassed by the Helicopters on that BR, since the Stinger often does not lock beyond 2-3km.
The Ozelot has no gun.
9.3 also has the same or similar Manpad missiles already, such as the Machbet with the same Stingers or the Santal with Mistrals.
It would also give the 9.3 lineup a SPAA.

T-64B

Ground RB 10.0 → 10.0

No need to move up 0.7 just because of a 1.1s reload buff

Yes

Alternatively they can revert to the “trial HESH” which actually allowed you to vaporise stuff. Or give it the T58 treatment.
