VT4 should STAY at 12.3 or even move down 12.0 with the ZTZ96B so it has a lineup. No way a slow tank, with ONLY FY2 ERA should be the same BR as the ZTZ99A with its FY5 ERA (even if its just for turret)
I’d argue it is the best irccm. Magic 2s are great and all, but the IRCCM only works rear aspect. Meanwhile AAM-3s work on the side aspect (which is more common) and it’s also the longest range of the small fox-2s
Rationale: This plane has a legacy BR that needs to be updated.
It’s honestly more so a QoL change than balance change.
It’s placed at a MUCH higher BR than the H-75A-4 despite being the exact same thing with a worse engine. Its current BR placement only serves to arbitrarily discourage marketplace sales.
this is unfortunately a con of how gaijin models radars
all PESAs have a comically slow scan speed compared to what it should be irl, and AESAs are just really fast PESAs (by really fast i mean just a realistic PESA scan speed)
makes it so AESAs have the same downsides and operate the exact same as a PESA, just try to pretend its different by making it faster
I would like to kindly ask for the Super Étendard to go up to 11.3 instead of 11.7. Both of the current 11.0 French tanks are being moved up to 11.3, and marooning this plane a step higher would really hurt it for little reason. It has to rely on slow, laser-guided munitions which can be tricky and dangerous to lay compared to a lot of the FNF at its battle rating. I do not think removing one of France’s only high-tier lineups is a good idea. Personally (and i think this is a pretty well-agreed-upon statement), the Super Étendard is much more fun to fly than the Jaguar and it already has to make seriously tough decisions with its payload. I mean, come on, it’s unique and iconic—I want to use that one!
Mode: Ground Realistic Battles Suggested Change:5.0 → 5.3/5.7 Rationale:
This vehicle recently received the bomber buff. With it’s 50 RPG on the 45 mm NS-45s and Three 1000 kg bombs, it is completely unfair for it to be facing early 75 mm armed Shermans and Pz.IV series vehicles. Moving this vehicle to 5.3 or even 5.7 would be the minimal nerf required for it.
OR
Mode: All modes Suggested Change:5.0 → 5.0 (Remove 45 mm APHE) Rationale:
Another possible solution is to remove the 45 mm APHE. By doing so it is limited to 3 nerfed bombs and APCR shells. Then it would be a moderately upgraded He 219 and could stay at 5.0
Mode: Naval Arcade Battles Suggested Change:3.7 → 4.0 Rationale:
Sits at the same BR as the MPK Pr.201K/M while being better in every way. Self explanitory really
Mode: All modes Suggested Change:6.7 → 6.3 Rationale:
Compared to the much better P-51H, the J21RA is lacking for the BR and should be moved down or given 13.2mm HMGs
The J21RA also has a worse engine than the A21RB by almost 200kgf but sits at same BR
Schütze 3.0 → 3.3.
Naval battles (both realistic and arcade).
If Baleno goes to 3.7, this thing which has exact the same effectiveness due to fast-firing Bofors 40/70 has no business at 3.0.
Mode: Ground Realistic Battles Suggested Change:4.7 → 5.0/5.3 Rationale:
It’s not that much worse than the Tu-1, with roughly the same firepower(20mm instead of 23mm), and slightly worse bombs(FAB500 vs FAB1000), but is much more maneuverable and can easily wipe out entire lobbies after the bomber buff. Moving to 5.0/5.3 is only fair

Mode: All modes Suggested Change:4.7 → 4.7 (Remove 45 mm APHE) Rationale:

Vehicle: BMD-4 Family
Game mode: Ground RB
BR Change: 9.7 to 10.3
Reason: They are more then capable at 10.3 and if they remain at 9.7 after the BR decompression they will be overpowered and destroy the battle rating.
Vehicle: BMP-3
Game mode: Ground RB
BR Change: 9.3 to 9.7
Reason: Needs to move up with the 9.3 line up to 9.7. It would save 8.3 tanks from facing it.
Vehicle: G8N1
Game mode: Air Realistic Battle
BR change: 6.3 → 6.7 or roll back damage models
Reason: No clue why nobody talking about but, gunners are insane as Tu-4 and they got omega buffed in damage model changes.
