The Venom over the years has been increased in BR due to people turnfighting it and losing. It is now the same BR as the Hunter F.1 and Sabre F-2 and MiG-17 that all perform better than it. It should be lowered to 8.3/8.0 to reflect its performance.
The Vampire over the years has been increased in BR due to people turnfighting it and losing. It is now the same BR as the MiG-15 and MiG-15bis (ISH) and Sabre A-5 and Meteor F.8’s that all perform better than it. It should be lowered to 7.7 to reflect its performance.
XM800T - remove DM63 belt. So you want to nerf falcon and 30 dca by removing apds belt. Then how about removing dm63 from xm, which NEVER used them btw.
Sea Venom FAW.20 (→ Sea Venom FAW.22)
AIR RB 7.7 → 7.3 or / 7.7 → 8.0/8.3 (And give AAM)
The Venom over the years has been increased in BR due to people turnfighting it and losing. It is the worst performing Venom in game due to the increased weight due to the advent of the nose radar. The options are lower it to 7.3 where it has a chance due to performance, or push it up and give it its AAM.
Vehicle: Tu-4 (all variants/nations)
Mode: Air RB
BR Change: 8.0 → 7.7
Reason: This thing is using a legacy BR, last changed probably 5 years ago.
It regularly faces full uptiers to 9.0, where it gets insta killed from 2-5km away by IR or SARH missiles. Its super slow, facing jets that fly 2-4x times as fast it. It should go down at least to 7.7, preferably to 7.3.
Aircraft: F4D Skyray
Mode: Air SB
BR Change: 9.3 → 9.0
Reason: There was no reason to bump it to 9.3 where it´s useless. It´s facing stuff like the Yak-38 with 4xR60 missiles. Now that the Shenyang F-5 is going to 9.0 (where it belongs) this one should as well.
Raise the battle rating of all top AA guns starting at 12.3 by +0.3. If you don’t want to change the matchmaking where 11.7 constantly ends up at the bottom of the list, then you need to raise the battle rating of these AA guns. Because everything from helicopters to airplanes with a battle rating of 11.7 is just fodder for them.
Since the German Mi-8TB is going down to 8.0, maybe its time to change the Starter heli for Germany as the Mi-8 will be lower than the SA 313B Alouette I
Vehicle: Su-24M
Mode: Air RB
BR Change: 11.3 → 11.0
Reason: for whatever reason, this is actually igher BR than the MiG-23M, while having only 4xR-60Ms (when spaded), NO tracking radar, only search radar, flies like a bus, possibly even worse than the Su-17M4. Having MAW and better RWR does not warrant higher BR. Its just really bad experience to fly it, especially when facing AIM-7F/Ms.
Having Bhishma levels of mobility at 10.7 is quite lacking if you ask me. Even 10.3 Challenger is faster than you, not to mention other 10.7s like 2A4 or M1.
