Strela at 10.7 and Type 81C at 11.3 / 11.7 seems to make sense.

The T72B’s would like to have a word with you. The tanks in this BR range only have armour going for them. Nothing else. Moving them up would drop Russia/USSR win rates even more just because you decided that “muh russian bias” is to blame for your skill issue
The name’s pretty ironic tho :D
I chose it to ragebait said cultists 😌
292 to 11.7 cause beeg gun, it is such a broken tank totally
Mode: Air Simulator
Aircraft: Mig-29G
Change: 13.0->12.7
Reasoning: The Long Scan cycles of the Radar combined with its atrocious RWR and a crippling lack of ARH missiles make this plane completely useless in the current BR brackets as it has to go up against ARH slingers with the F-16 spam coming in addition. You can only beat a dead horse so much before it gets pointless. The F-15 which has much better radar and a working rwr gets to be at 13.0 and even 12.7 if the planned change gets through in sim. No one in a sane condition of mind can tell me that the Mig-29 with 4 R-73 and 2 R-27ER is the same capability as a F-15 with 4 Aim-9M and 4 AIM-7M. You either fly on the deck hoping that the enemy wont find you and yeet a ER at it from below or you die horribly, and with only 60 Flares or chaff it is rather a daunting proposition to go up against people who have 240 flares and chaff or even more

Looking at the comparison of other 13.0 semi active radar missile carriers it would make sense to NOT lower the F15A variants to 12.7 but leave it at 13.0. This would cause massive compression for 11.7 and 12.0. As no other aircraft has the amount of capability pared with a strong Pulse Doppler Radar and IRCCM missiles.
What would make more sense would to bring the 13.0 SU 27 Flanker variants to 13.3.
REASON
-Flankers carry R27ERs. Arguably the best semi active radar in the game. Even proving to be capable at the highest BR. They also have Data link capability with the flexibility of having long range Fox 2 R27ETs and having highly maneuverable IRCCM R73s. Also the flankers have HMS and IRST. The other 13.0 semi active planes do not have this capability or flexibility. Not to mention the stock grind performance. The current 13.0s that are not flankers have to stock grind with a much worse semi active radar missiles and none IRCCM Aim 9Ls. The Flankers do not have this issue, yet they are better off being able to get up to 6 R73s or 4 R73s and 2 R27T/ETs through progress. These progression paths are not even comparably the same or reasonably fair in terms of 13.0 planes
Lets keep the positive gameplay changes moving forward with increasing the BR ceiling, rather then bringing things down causing unnecessary compression.
We should be moving “2 steps forward.”
“Not 1 step forward, 2 steps backwards” this does not create positive change.
I rarely play this thing, decided to take it out not too long ago and was like wtf the turret just reposition itself when the vehicles is moving, then it needs to come to a complete stop to deploy the missile into firing state. Sort of like the missile pod from Bradley’s would retract when the vehicle is on the move and there is a waiting time for it to redeploy lol

now its fine yes. 1.0 BR difference makes sense

How many of those are TWS SACLOS though? yes target switching is a thing, but not many systems have you in the gunners sight and suddenly decide to cycle through and look at a dozen targets within a fraction of a second.
I’m playing with my radar filters to try to stop it, but currently when CAS and SPAAs start shooting at each other it insists on automatically looking at EVERY missile/ rocket/ bomb individually.
I wish they would simply tweak instead of moving such aircraft up as it could be a questionable move with the MiG 21 Bis at the same br. I have it and agree that it’s strong though. The Su30MKK will certainly be its successor. I feel sorry for those with the A5C…
There’s a joke I want to jam in here but i’m aware i’m vastly off topic and it could go one of two ways

I love them to bits but we go from the pretty balanced matchups we have now to facing the T72 turms T, Tam 2c, 120s (which is just a slow abrams) and a few other monsters which remove the armour meta from mk10.
the 900 is obsolete as the Khalid is 9.3 and its got an extra few hundred horsepower, they are not worthy of the same BR

It sucked pre buff, as it had inferior characteristics compared to the T-72. I still don’t think an increase in reload deserves a BR range as it has no HMG, and worse armour. Its a tradeoff IMO

yeah clearly 🙄
No LRF or smoke grenades either.
Honestly, even I couldn’t show high results on this tank.
And I played it when it was rated 11.3.
Yup
for your braindead takes all night you have created a crowd of fans

I mean, you can often try to strafe something from close range, but you might not find the things you’re looking for, especially with free AAs nowadays. It’s a dangerous thing to do.
At higher BRs planes would just engage from distances where you pose little to no threat to them.
You’d then be forced to shoot down enemy ordnance just in order to survive, spending like 40% of your available ammo count at best. If you fail at any moment, you’re just dead.
Does it give information about all enemy units or just one ?
