Put bluntly, there is currently no reason to buy Leopard 2A4M.
For new players, 12.0 is extremely odd BR which offers no other vehicles that the premium 2A4Ms. There is nothing to build lineup with. On top of that, it has neither the T-80U-E1 armor nor M1A1HC Cliclbaits shell, making it the least appealing choice of the three premium 12.0 tanks.
For veterans, there is literally nothing 2A4M can offer them, that isnt covered by Leopard 2PL, a free squadron tank.
Despite all of this, it is clearly better than 11.7 tanks, so it wouldnt make sense to move it down in BR; moreso moving it down to 11.7 does not solve the lineup issues whatsoever.
Thus I propose adding DM53 shell and moving it to 12.3, making it a premium counterpart to Leopard 2PL, while offering new players who buy it chance to build lineup that does not drastically vary in effectivness.
I think that 15.0 would be appropriate so that the 15A variants don’t move down and further curse the br bracket from 11.7-12.7. Then the 12.7s could move up to 13.0, 12.3s to 12.7, and so on to help the compression of 12.0. Then further decompress from 12.0-15.0. Moving the F15As down seems like a terrible idea. Also please fix the MiG29 fm and give it r73s that would be nice. Not only would this help 12.0-13.0 compression but top tier could decompress further at 15.0.
Vehicle: Su-7B BR Change: 9.0 → 9.3 Reason: The Su-7 going to 9.0 is the result of BR compression, however it has no business being in these lobbies. The Su-7s have triple the climb rate of most of the subsonics at this BR, they were fast even for 9.3, and the manoeuvrability is not poor enough to excuse this. Allowing vehicles with extremely high top speeds to creep lower and lower in BR because their effectiveness is low is ruining the game for subsonics.
Vehicle: Roma, Littorio
Gamemode: Naval
Balance change without BR change: Reduce vertical gun dispersion
Reason: The vertical dispersion on the main armament of this ships makes it difficult to get consistent hits even if you are aiming well, a bug report has already been accepted so I request to give it some priority in its implementation to the game
The MiG-29 cannot move down due to how oppressive the R-27ER will be, the R-27ER also cannot be removed due to the competition of 13.0 and such having a plethora of R-27ER’s and 12.7 having the longer ranged (compared to the R-27R, base model) AIM-7P.
It also cannot move up as it would be a downgrade when compared to the Su-27 at 13.0, which is faster, more heavily armed, has a better radar/IRST, and performs better.
The only option available is to add the R-73 to it and keep it at BR while moving down the MiG-29G and giving it a digital RWR to act as a sidegrade but still, a minor improvement similar to the 29 SNIPER.
