HMS Egret 4.3>4.0

Sat at the same BR as the British K and N class DDs but with 4in rather than 4. 7in main guns. She also has a relatively weak secondary of just 4x 20mm and no torpedos. Worst of all is she is very slow, 23kt vs most at the BR at 40kt+, and has relatively poor rudder authority which taken together make avoiding incoming fire more difficult than other ships.

→ Decompresses top tier
→ Doesn’t use decompression to help the planes that suffer the most

Pantsir S1 GRB 12.3 → 12.7
This self-propelled anti-aircraft gun will be extremely powerful at the 12.3 battle rating, given that the opponents will remain the very same.

France bias or sum

Vehicle: AH-64E (all variants), MI-28NM, Z-10ME
Gamemode: GRB
Suggested BR: 13.3 → 14.0
Reason: These should be put up at the absolute top BR for GRB along with the top tier CAS planes since these can be very oppressive.

Sa’ar
9.0->8.7
Poor sa’ar is a largely forgotten funny troll plane

It has shafrir 2’s at 9.0 which yes have very high g overload but very bad range if I remember right even compared to aim9B

Pretty sure the overall performance is notably bad compared to like a cl13 at 9.0, and it should be lower rating, but might be wrong

Vehicle: Aubl/74 HVG
Gamemode: Ground realistic
BR change: 8.0 → 8.0
Reason: underperforming tank, has no armor, bad gun, only positive side is speed and stabilizer. Armor can be penned by lowest machine gun caliber. Gun is 60mm which fires very low caliber apfsds with rather low pen and post pen damage, requiring you to aim exactly for ammo. Very hard vehicles to play in general

Vehicle: ZSU-23-4M4
BR: 9.3 → 9.7
Reason: While it is marginally worse than the Gepard 1A2 and Stormer AD it isn’t equal to the Hovet since it has a radar. It’s equal to the PGZ04A which also should be 9.7.

Su-27SM still bring a lower br is also insanity

The Lynx Mk.1 and G-Lynx were already not faring very well against spaas at 10.7, if you put them at 11.3 its just useless. maybe try putting the ka-50 at 12.0 instead

J-15 being that high it’s a crime, he has nothing that can mantain a great fight (defense)

wouldnt it be just better than f 15 j(m)? mirage 2k has kinda shit radar and fm for a top tier. sm is finaly going up to 14.0

They’re afraid of dropping the other ones in rank since some are premiums and they’d lose a rank of researchability. The TT ones should be able to be placed at a lower rank regardless, especially if the BR is dropped.

Vehicle: JA37C
Mode: Air Realistic
BR Change: 11.3 → 11.7
Reason: PD + TWS + Buffed Sparrows. Currently has the highest KD out of every rank 7 planes.

For reference, the Hawk 209 is moving to 11.7 in this change, not 11.3

it has an amazing defensive kit and busted missile to compensate

13.7 F-15s also went up?
dang ok

Still, mirage being a lower br is dumb asf
Su-27SM also being a lower br is dumb

Both are significantly better than the F-15E

Air realistic
F104J
10.3->10.0
It has 6 aim9ps yes, but j35D already has 4 at 10.0, f104J has no upgraded engine compared to its earlier variant, and it doesn’t go that much faster in return for being a whale at turning
