Reason: There should be no situation where 6.7 vehicles should be facing laser range finder oneshot nuke canons- Disregarding the fact that they can work in any BR up to 12.7, -6.7 vehicles should not face them as they don’t have the capability of countering them, and even less countering laser range finders AND thermals in the case of the VIDAR, albeit at 7.0. They’ll fend for themselves very well at 8.3 and 8.7 respectively, without preying on 6.7 tanks. Please consider.
Vehicle: Ki-61-I Hei
Gamemode: RB
BR Change: 4.7 → 4.0
Reason: Currently MG151 is no longer a much better cannon compared to Ho-5, and Ki-61-I Hei should have a lower BR as its armament is basically the same level of Ki-100’s, with much worse flight performance.
Proposed Change #2: Keep at 3.3 but move the spawn to the coastal area instead of the bluewater fleet area
Reasoning: USS Hoquiam is the worst-performing frigate at her BR. She lacks torpedoes, is slower than most destroyers, and has weak main guns with large frontal dead zones. She cannot compete with destroyers in the 3.3–4.3 range and should either be reduced in BR or given a coastal spawn.
I feel like the entirety of coastal needs a BR overhaul, it’s only within the lowest part of the gamemode that is actually okay, i.e. if you’re unlucky enough in your 3.3 wooden dual bofors boat you will fight bonkers Soviet saws, and 2.3 has almost the same story only with the 3.3 bofors boat dominating in the right hands
The Chinese air tree rework is… not quite what I expected, but why not I guess. Isn’t the best option if they wanna add Pakistan later, but they don’t seem to plan that so I guess it works. Will at least give the sinoflankers more room
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.
