the ariete’s have a much better gun with a larger first stage ammo rack with the same reload
The 11.7 Arietes have more HP per ton aswell, not to mention DM53. He probably would like those at a higher BR also.

DM 53, 5 second reload, and still greater mobility.

Comparing the Ariete’s and CR2’s armour as if they’re even close to comparable is wild.
Like if the CR2 is braindead and completely exposing their LFP then sure (and tbf this is more common than not) but otherwise the CR2 is one of the best protected tak families in the game lol
CR2 has armoured turret cheeks that is it.
The hull and front plate are paper thin and the breach takes up 30% of the turret

“the front plate is paper thin” 💀
What are you comparing this to, a BVM?
And oh no it has a breach, a weak spot on every single MBT
First of all: holy skill issue, that explains the Leopard 2 stats.
Now that that is out of the way, it’s mantlet is massive and most 540+mm pen rounds will also give the UFP armor a run for it’s money.
Anyone who struggles against the armor of either of these tanks has bigger concerns than the overall balance of top tier.

Don’t forget the huge, easy to hit driver port

I would say, keep the Mk 16 as the Squadron, but at least add the Mk IV & IX to the tech tree then, and maybe even the Mk 35.
If they wanted to add an interesting variant of the Mosquito bomber, it could be the B Mk VII. It is a Candian built Mosquito, based on the B Mk V prototype, which could hold 2x 1000lb bombs internally instead of the 4x500lb, plus 2x 500lb bombs on the wings.

5.7 chi-ri? As if it wasnt overtiered oversized glass cannon at 5.0 already with highly situational autocannon “lets just make almost worth 5.0 but its japanese so 5.7 it is so it fights jumbos, T44s and king tigers.” Yeah no thank you.
Rip my fav IJA mid tier lineup (which was already overtiered as it was)

Well, the “changes” on the dev server in particular, and the overall situation with the WT-Naval-Mode in the game in general, are compelling me to write a review of critical importance for the entire naval community.
The main problem of “naval gamemode” is the lack of adequate feedback from developers to the audience!
Especially, I emphasize and repeat, with the loyal and constructive audience!
Meanwhile!
Considering the problems and trends that have accumulated since late spring of this year, War Thunder Naval needs:
- Restoring the survivability of ships by compartment to the level of March-April 2025;
- Restoring the survivability of ships by eliminating the notorious “elevator effect” to the level of March-April 2025;
- Restoring the reduced accuracy of the main calibers to an adequately comfortable level, allowing the players to realize their personal potential, in other words, back to the level of early spring 2025;
- Restore various maps with islands, straits, shelters, etc., which were cancelled for high-level sessions, and also add intermediate spawn points;
- Adopt changes to the game AI bot lists, removing the upper limit so that high-level sessions feature not only battleships and rare cruisers, but also numerous destroyers and frigates; preferably in a class-matching ratio that reflects the atmosphere and history.
In this context and as an example, desirable, but not essential:
- Restore and refine the mechanics for separate control of the ship’s propulsion units;
- Restore the mechanics for manual control of the towing cables;
- Add a mechanic for setting anchors.
The War Thunder Naval and players absolutely DO NOT NEED any further nerfs to ship survivability and session lifespan!
After the changes over the past six months, we need the exact opposite.
Separately, it can be noted that a nerf to the accuracy of AI bot air defenses is desirable; a nerf to the accuracy of player air defenses is questionable; and a nerf to the range of player air defenses is unacceptable.
Perhaps this will even bring back the fun of playing the naval mode, which I was so enthusiastically praising just six months ago.
Thank you for your attention.
