I tried a few times recently to play stuff at and about that BR, gave up
Incredibly based take. As ARB is designed as a PvP mode, I se no reason for them to have a place in it when all they do is reward a passive playstyle.
I agree with absolutely everything here.
Man you’ve forgotten some huge ones here
Lvrbv 701 9.7 to 9.3
reason? ZSU-23-4 4 sits at 9.3 with 4 23mm cannons and FNF Sam’s along with 85° of elevation and search radar … Meanwhile the 701 has a single SAM that wobbles like crazy, no search radar and 35° of elevation top’d off with poor mobility… Its not even in the same league
Strf 9040 Bill 10.3 to 10.0
Reason
I’d the Bradley and desert warrior are going down to 9.7 i see no reason this should be 0.7 higher, it’s ATGM launcher no longer moves up and down like the Bradley, so you’re stuck with only using it on flat maps otherwise it’ll send the Atgm to orbit, if the 40mm is the deciding factor the 9040 alone sits at 9.7 anyway.
Badger 9.0 to 8.7
Reason? Just play it… It’s a sad vehicle with a sad weapon system.
Falcon 8.3 to 7.7
With the removal of the APDS belt it should be moved to a position in the Tech tree where it actually fills BR gap, It doesn’t have the decent mobility of the Za-35 or gepard to fly around the map, it’s lack of search and tracking radar hurts it along with its missing laser range finder hurts it’s AA performance at 8.3 and without it’s AT belt it shouldn’t stay the same BR.
TTK
move to rank VIII shouldn’t be running stock Heat at its BR
Type 90s
move to rank VIII shouldn’t be running stock heat at its BR
M1A1/HC IPM1
move to rank VIII shouldn’t be running stock heat at its BR
T90
move to rank VIII shouldn’t be running stock heat at its BR
T80U
move to rank VIII shouldn’t be running stock heat at its BR
T73B3
move to rank VIII shouldn’t be running stock heat at its BR
BMPT 11.3 to 11.7
This vehicle it’s still shredding 10.3 vehicles and clearly needs a small bump in BR.
T80UD 10.3 to 10.7
This vehicle is far too well equipped and protected to be facing 9.3 vehicles like the leopard 1s etc.
it is too low
?
I disagree, it’s not uncommon if the tank is much better and the TTS is after the XM1 iirc
would be nice to get a tree XM8
when is the T-80 abuse gonna end man…
More and more people need to understand this. ARB is a PvP gamemode and the winning condition is eliminating all enemy players. Any sort of PvE is griefing your own team, especially at top tier. I would welcome a PvE gamemode for people who like that sort of gameplay, but it has no business in ARB and just makes it less fun for both types of players.
A blanket change moving the entirety of the game 9.3 and higher a step would immediately fix some things. Just need to get the 20g missiles away from 9.0. Yet they refuse to do it.
This whole comment section is

its split between ragebait and the chieftains seeing bloody T-80s
Nerf every spaa like you did for the falcon ( gepard, iptsv leopard etc…) spaa means shooting planes not running around shredding everything within sight thx 🫶
Some takes are reasonable so I do hope they actually skim through it. But then we also have people asking for 6.7 Maus which is something…
Read the bug report. Rodney achieved 2rpm in firing practice in 1938 after they upgraded the shell handling rooms. That this report was denied was the height of bullshit.
ARB:
SO 4050 Vautour II B : 9.0 → 8.7
Reason : Vautour can’t compete in uptiers and is clearly outclassed by 10.0 jets, it cannot defend itself or dodge missiles. Plus, comparable jet bombers have a lower BR.
Are you a freak? The Phantom ICE is a 3rd generation jet fighter and has very mediocre flight characteristics, unlike the MiG-29SMT, and the Tornado is better.
They need to decompress the entire tree next time. Though if this BR change is any indication, they look to be trying to undo the last one.
why is the t26e5 going up??? facing cold war tanks is not good
ARB:
SO 4050 Vautour II A : 9.0 → 8.7
Reason : Vautour can’t compete in uptiers and is clearly outclassed by 10.0 jets, it can barely defend itself but not dodge missiles. Plus, comparable jet bombers have a lower BR.
This is so tiresome these changes for grb are basically useless. It changes next to nothing there needs to be decompression.
Why would you remove its best missle for a shitty missle?
