Vehicle: Puma VJTF & KF41
Gamemode: Ground Realistic
BR Change: 11.0 → 10.7
Reason: While they were strong back when they got added, overtime they became realy lackluster compared to similar tanks (Boxer CRV/Vilkas/Freccia) which are also 10.7/10.3 and have up to 10 Spikes (Freccia)
Rather give it a new flight model, add R-73, remove R-27ER and let it stay at 12.7
EC665 UHT:
No radar
No chin mounted gun
No LDIRCM
Worst ATGM in the game
MI28NM:
Has a radar
Has a chin mounted gun (with APDS)
Has LDIRCM
Has the best ATGM in the game (even has a proper loft profile)
Additionally EC665 UHT physically can not kill the Mi28NM because all of its weapons cant fight against LDIRCM, all while the Mi28NM can kill you 15KM away and there nothing you can do.
And these are still the same battle rating??
Mode: Air Realistic Battles
Aircraft: A-7D
Change: 10.3 → 10.0
Reasoning: Reminder, with BR separation between Air RB and Ground RB now implemented, the A-7D should no longer be tied to its outdated, legacy placement. As a subsonic aircraft with a mediocre flight model and limited ability to compete against supersonic opponents at its BR range without all-aspect AAMs, it is more appropriately placed at 10.0 in Air RB.
Side-note: I have seen A-7E and A-7K moving down. That’s a good start, and don’t forget to move the A-7D
Loadout changes:
Give ALL Rank VII SARH aircraft, such as the Phantoms, limited number of SARH stock, as has been done for the Rank VIII.
Stocking grinding something like a Phantom with 2x Aim-9Ds at 12.0 is just unrealistic and insane.
Do the F-15A variants really need to go down to 12.7? They would be the strongest 12.7’s in the game if this were to go through.
Tornado GR.1, Tornado ASSTA.1, Tornado IDS (1995)
11.7 → 11.3 Air RB
These do not stack up any better in air combat than their 11.3 equivalents (IDS Italy, WTD61, Marineflieger)
There goes my important 6.7 tank from my 6.7 line up
Vehicle(s): HMS Brantford (And by relations Aconit)
Gamemode: NRB & AB
BR Change: 2.3 → 3.0
Rank change: II → IV
Reason: Brantford is a very spongy ship that can take a beating from all the 20mm and rifle calibre rounds that most naval ships have at 1.3-2.3. It should go up to where it faces other big boats like Drache, Candid, and Groza.
Mode: Air Realistic Battles
Aircraft: B7A2 (Homare 23)
Change: 3.7 → 4.0
Reasoning: Again, I’ve played this aircraft in Air RB well enough to say it’s a monster with airspawn, giving it an uncontested energy advantage. This aircraft could dominate every Air RB match with its ridiculously good flight performance, which allows it to hold its own against Bf-109Fs and XP-50s. It can easily intercept and destroy bombers, often outdoing other fighters, including the standard B7A2 with a weaker powerplant. You can even consistently net over 4 kills per match in this thing.
Loadout changes:
Give ALL Strike aircraft at Rank VI & Rank VII, such as the Jaguars and Super Eterndard, limited number of ground attack weapons stock, such as small bombs. It is unreasonable to expect these aircraft to use guns only at these BRs. They are meant for dropping bombs, not dogfighting, treat them as such
Add new variant with historical weaponry.
Early 9.12 used r60m as primary weapons until the r73 was put into service.
9.12 r27 r60m at 12.3
9.13 r73 r27r at 12.7
It is problem of other cruisers and battleships sits at too low, not Tiger is worth 5.3
Remember that there are 4.3 coastal and destroyers…
It’s only 30mm more penetration and again what 12.0 tank doesn’t have APFSDS?
That would make the grind easy and hence less GE would be used on those vehicle
and are notably worse than the RET8 which just makes it even worse
Give all Rank 9 aircraft free countermeasures, shouldn’t be a reason to make players grind out for chaff at this high of a level, BOL and MAW can be re searchable still, just asking for some chaff stock
Vehicle: MiG-27M
Gamemode: Ground Realistic
BR Change: 11.0 —> 10.7
Reason: in its capabilities it’s quite similar if not slightly weaker than Su-25BM and should be at least same BR as it.
Vampire F.B.5
8.0 → 7.7 Air RB
This is by far the worst Vampire in game, it has significantly less thrust than the exported Vampires, i would suggest to 7.3 but 0.7 changes are very unlikely to be passed
Realistically the BMPT shouldn’t get apfsds. Russia does not use the 30mm apfsds because they don’t make it. Irl the 30mm already has poor accuracy when installed on things like the bmp, but apfsds made that problem even worse.
Also banger name
