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.

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
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.
i free aced its crew at 8.7, itll do fine
Vessels: PT-565
BR change: Move the 565 down to 2.7 or even 2.3 and folder it with the 314
Reasoning: Literally the same vehicle as the PT-314 only with rocket launchers, as elaborated here
Churchill VII/croc, Cromwell V (all), Valentine XI, Excelsior
No BR changes
Change:
Naval
SKR 1& SKR-7
4.3 > 4.7
Reason…after the reload nerfs they were less effective against opposition 4.3 DDs. But since then the Bluewater BR rebalance has seen several of these destroyers move up to 4.7 whilst the coastal have remained static. It’s not helped by the total lack of USA ships at 4.3 (literally none for BW or Coastal) so you have an entire nation impotent at the BR.
