Now do this for all the modes please 😭
with no touch for Eugen/Hipper and Myoko/Haguro
nice joke
Where is the decompression for the coastal fleet as well?
Boats like Aconit, HMCS Brantford, Arras, Amiens, Marne, and others with detailed damage models are currently dominating their BR range. Anyway, I’ll make and post my BR feedback in the several next posts.
One can only pray for Ground and Air next
Damn, no funny F-117 laser bombing Yamato
I’m a bit curious whether or not the introduction of rank VII will also lead to economy changes in the lower ranks. either way, these BR changes are interesting to say the least!
Mode: Naval Arcade & Realistic Battles
Ship: Aconit (Flower-class corvette)
Change: 2.3 → 2.7
Reasoning: With the naval aiming system changes in arcade battles making it function more like an ‘aimbot,’ this vessel should receive a BR increase. Like HMCS Brantford, it demonstrates strong survivability and can shred other patrol boats with ease. Currently overperforming, it becomes nearly unstoppable when fielded by a coordinated four-player squad.
It doesn’t make sense to move Belfast and Southhampton to 6.0 unless you are going to move Myoko, Haguro, and both Admiral Hippers to 6.0 also as the British ships lack a true AP shell and have worse armour than the Hippers and smaller guns than the Myoko and Haguro.
Solution:
Admiral Hipper and Prinz Eugen → 6.0

Solution:
IJN Myoko and IJN Haguyro → 6.0

We shouldn’t be pretending Amagi is the same level as Hood and Rodney, she has a drastically higher RoF than them both but particularly Rodney, and her armour is about the same level as Hood’s. Module layout is a factor but given she resists around the same as Hood does but has 2 more guns and a drastically higher DPM she should be 1 br step above Hood. She has much better shells than Rodney also and 1 more gun, again much higher DPM they are not equals. Post-nerf Scharnhorst is also more manageable as this BR, and her smaller guns should be accounted for, again we should not pretend she is an equal.
Solution:
IJN Amagi → 8.0.
Mode: Naval Arcade & Realistic Battles
Ship: Arras
Change: 3.0 → 3.3
Reasoning: With the naval aiming system changes in arcade battles making it function more like an ‘aimbot,’ this vessel should receive a BR increase. Despite mounting two large-caliber cannons with slow traverse - a drawback negated by the new aiming system - it demonstrates exceptional survivability and can dismantle other patrol boats effortlessly. Currently overperforming, it becomes virtually unstoppable when deployed by a coordinated four-player squadron.
Not exactly sure how the 8gun 15in armed Royal navy ships are a higher battlerating than Scharnhorst and Kronshtadt?
Can you fix the 203mm guns of Italian heavy cruisers now that you are moving them up in br? The shells of these guns are much more affected by drag than any other shell in game, they lose an excessive amount of energy at range, a bug report was passed years ago but they still aren’t fixed.
I will say after my main criticisms I believe are over, I like to see this trend of decompression, its very positive to see such a change for the entire naval br floor it seems of the main offenders.
Wait Scharnhorst is only 7.3?..
Eyeroll
Buc s1 is a real shame
Mode: Naval Arcade & Realistic Battles
Ship: Amiens
Change: 3.0 → 3.3
Reasoning: With the naval aiming system changes in arcade battles making it function more like an ‘aimbot,’ this vessel should receive a BR increase. Along with its 37mm autocannons, it mounts a large-caliber cannons with slow traverse - a drawback negated by the new aiming system - it demonstrates exceptional survivability and can dismantle other patrol boats effortlessly. Currently overperforming, it becomes virtually unstoppable when deployed by a coordinated four-player squadron.
Mode: Naval Arcade & Realistic Battles
Ship: MPK-163
Change: 2.0 → 2.3
Reasoning: With its exceptionally powerful armament (85mm main gun and 37mm autocannon), this vessel overperforms at its 2.0 BR. I’ve consistently observed it performing effectively even in 2.3-3.3 matches. Combined with the new naval aiming system, it can effortlessly dismantle other patrol boats.
