Reason: The large reshuffling of the 2.7-4.0 is the perfect time to address the completely anemic performance of the British 6pdr and OQF 75mm by giving them their historical APHE ammunition.

Rationale:
The Chaffee is a decent vehicle that deserved to go up to 4.0, but it should receive some small buffs to allow it to retain effectiveness in uptiers now that it will be consistently facing more well armored opponents. The rate of fire can be slightly improved to between that of the Sherman and Pz.IV, and it should be able to use T45 HVAP, much like the M4A2 at the same BR.
The addition of dual controls would allow the hull machine gunner to drive the vehicle when the driver is knocked-out. This is a completely historical feature, carried over from the M5A1 Stuart, and was present in all standard M24’s from beginning to end of production.
Reason:
Terrible maneuverability; increased difficulty in attacking due to the MG151’s reduced muzzle velocity; and worse climb performance than the P-51H and other aircraft of comparable class
Reason: The Vampire’s flight performance outside of Angle of Attack has no advantage over aircraft like the F9F’s, F.8 Meteor and especially the F-86A for example.
Venom FB.4
BR change: 8.7 → 8.0
Reason: Same as the Vampires but on a more extreme scale. Also there’s a lot of vehicles the Venom struggles with even at it’s BR and in the case of the F-104’s and the Su-7’s to a lesser extent which the Venoms do fight is basically impossible unless through a head on, lucky shot and/or the F-104/Su-7 not playing their aircraft properly.
Ki-67 Ko & Otsu
Should receive wing mounted bombs (2 60kgs, 2 100kgs, 2 250kgs and 2 500kgs) and wing mounted fuel pods
Reason: The Ki-67’s currently have a worse bombload than every other Japanese bomber previously, The Ki-21’s and 49’s for example have a larger bombload due to the omit ion of the wing mounted bombs. The addition of the wing mounted bombs will give the Ki-67’s more of a purpose in the game over to the previously mentioned bombers not only as a base bomber but also as a frontline bomber.
A-26B-10 & A-26B-50 Invader
Should receive Mk.13-6 Case Torpedoes
Reason: The fastest speed to launch the non-cased Mk.13’s is 205mph which is very close to staling speed for the Invader. Also the A-26B’s would be in service when the regular Mk.13’s are being phased out in favour of their Cased counterparts. Due to the higher maximum drop speed of the Mk.13-6 Case, it would give the Invaders more of a purpose against naval targets than currently with the non-cased Mk.13’s
**Vehicle: ** Su-30MKK/MK2 Gamemodes: Air RB and Ground RB Change: (ARB) 13.3 → 13.7 (GRB) 12.3 → 12.7
Justification:
Both premium flankers absolutely dominate both air and ground RB.
sporting the best missile loadout in air (Good ARHs, R-27ER and good IR missiles) with probably one of the better radars of 13.3 thanks to NCTR and HMD.
Thanks to this they are comparable to multiple 13.7 aircraft if not better, especially due to how often they end up facing Fox-1 or Fox-2 slingers while having Fox-3s (and lots of them)
The flight model being mid is not an issue at all, due to the extremely versatile and powerful loadout it carries
In ground RB they sport a superior CAS loadout to the Su-27SM, with two more KH-29Ts just to lose one Fox-3. This completely makes up for the worse flight model compared to the 27SM.
The change in air RB has been heavily requested since these two aircraft were added.
It was one of the most popular requests in the last br change as well as the first forum post for the April br changes
They absolutely need to go up in br.
Maybe when you have better stats then mine you can be somewhat condescending (and I dont care about anyone elses stats as they are not being rude to random people on the internet)
Rationale:
The M4A1 was too strong at 3.3, but it will be slightly underwhelming at 3.7 compared to other Shermans purely because of the dated armor model. Its hull armor needs to made identical to that of the Sherman II’s (which should be exact same tank but British). This would make the hull cheeks and turret roof less vulnerable to low caliber guns from head on, which would help justify the BR increase.
This thing being at 13.3 and saturating the BR because it exist is entirely the reason I stay at 12.0 right now. The Early Hornet in the British tree just isn’t fun to play because just about every match has a few Su-30s in and trying to spade my Tornado F.3 Late is a nightmare as its constantly into 13.3 against Su-30s.
