Vehicle: F-4E AUP & F-4F ICE

Change: 13.3 → 13.0 no place being only 0.4 away from planes like the SU-30

Vehicle: M41D
Mode: Ground Realistic
BR Change: 8.3 → 8.3
Reason: I see no reason why an unstabilized light tank with a dart as a redeeming factor should even be higher than 8.3, let alone 8.7.

HAWK 209

change: Give it AIM-9L, it doesnt really make sense to have 9p-4 instead of 9L for game conventions

Try an image generated in Gemini, they don’t know how to read and are quite fond of AI

Vehicle: Wessex HU Mk.5
Mode: RB
Change: BR 9.0-> 8.7
Reason: It’s not fun. Just because you have two missiles capable of reaching 6km that doesn’t mean the sight is strong enough to guide it there. It’s like comparing the AGM-12B to C where you technically have twice the range but you are unable to see past 3km which makes it hard to hit targets further than that. Also to compound the issue with the AS.12 it is incredibly unresponsive with a very low speed and G load. The PID is also wrong making it overshoot stationary targets. If the problems with the AS.12 were fixed it would be good but it still needs to go down to 8.7 just because it’s not 0.7 better than the Scout.

Will leopard 2a7v’s get its addon ufp and hull composite fixed now that its get 2 step up br?

Vehicle: K 2
Game Mode: Naval Realistic
BR Change: 4.3 → 4.0
Reason: Lack of Base Fuse HE and slow speed; the armor is the only reason it shouldn’t be 3.7

Change: Return RP/SL/GE for attacker lines in French, British TTs
Reason: current BR changes put barely functional(and sometimes subsonic) attackers against top tier SAMs, making them not only useless but also a complete waste of space on SSD.

Days without Yak-9 nerf: 0

Seal clubber (IAR) went up too, both deserved. Not so sure about the Su-34 though…

Harrier GR.1

Air Realistic battles

9.7->9.3. Worst premium harrier by a lot as it has no RWR like the AV-8s and hasnt got the countermeasure box. SRAAM isnt reliable from such a slow plane to validate the BR

If the Stingrays, VFM5s, and OF-40 MTCA are moving up to 9.7 as part of decompression, there is no reason for the Leopard 1A5s, C2A1, and TAM 2IP to remain at 9.3. They fire the same ammunition, have similar mobility, and similar protection (ie, not much). They are functionally extremely similar tanks and have no reason to be at differing BRs.

Was hoping for more than a minor 0.3 BR increase for some aircraft. But does mean no chance of a DOA uptier at 12.3 anymore

Mode: GRB

Vehicle: Marder 1A3

BR Change: 8.0 to 7.7

Reasons: With the new change for all BMP-1 this vehicle should follow the BMP because his perform is very similar or even worst in certain aspects.

T2
Air realistic battles
9.7->10.0
This plane is extremely strong as soon as people learn to use the zuni rockets

Somehow zuni rockets are extremely consistent at being flares compared to other rockets , and the T2 should not be same rating as harrier who is way slower and main point was flares+very good missiles

While F1 at 10.0 can carry 4 aim9P rather than the 2 of the T2, it cannot use the rockets if doing this, making it more of a tradeoff. F1 does have rwr but I dont know if that’s a deal breaker, and t2 has the niche but sometimes saves you ability to survive a headon because it has two pilots

Like, compared to j35d it seems notably worse because it can’t turn nearly as well, but I’d rather have this plane bad than be so cracked at 9.7. It’s had plenty of time being super good

Mode: GRB

Vehicle: Nashorn Tank Destroyer.

BR Change: 5.3 to 5.0

Reasons: Yes, a very capable gun but thats is all good. Movility is mediocre, very poor armor and suvivability, lack of a turret even his machineguns are very limited and in the most of the cases are useless.

What are we doing here, you had one occasion to finally separate those not at all equivalent vehicles

Hey at least it’s not 13.3 X)

Vehicle: M26 pershing (Italian and French variants included)

BR change: 6.7 to 6.3.

Reasons: Weaker than most of the other 6.7. Most of the 5.3 tank can easily deal the M26 a BR change is needed.
