J-15T
14.7 → 14.3 (ARB)
Reason: Not remotely comparable to the Su-30SM2 or any other 14.7, it’s pretty mediocre. Genuinely unplayable if forced defensive by multiple enemies due to having no countermeasures to sustain a fight. I’d still play the Su-30SM or J-10C over it (lower BR aircraft) and that’s saying something.

Made especially relevant by today’s PL-12/PL-12A nerf reducing turning performance from near R-77 to AIM-120B level

Pvkv II is qute possibly one of the best TD’s in game, and it will not become irrelevant because of that 0.3 rise…

Why you say Chinese M24 will go to rank II when it is already rank II, the only one that isnt is Japanese,Swedish and Italian one. @OrsonES

Merely reposting as i dont feel like typing it all out again:

Aircraft:
Su-30MKK

Mode:
Air RB

Proposed change:
13.3 > 13.7

Reasoning:

The premium Su-30MKK is arguably one of the best 13.3s in the game going on by the overall packages and definetively THE best premium aircraft in the entire game.

The ability to carry up to 6x PL-12s on top of 4x IR IRRCM missiles makes this aircraft an absolute menace to the entiriety of 12.3-13.3 bracket.

While certainly it lacks engine power when compared to likes of Su-27SM and J-11B its closer in overall performance and missile capacity to them than it is to F-16ADF or JF-17 (let alone 13.0s) and as such it should see BR increase.

Aircraft:
Su-30MK2

Mode:
Air RB

Proposed change:
13.3 > 13.7

Reasoning:

The premium Su-30MK2 is arguably one of the best 13.3s in the game going on by the overall packages and definetively THE second best premium aircraft in the entire game after MKK.

The ability to carry up to 6x R-77s on top of 4x IR IRRCM missiles makes this aircraft an absolute menace to the entiriety of 12.3-13.3 bracket, only losing out to MKK due to PL-12 range.

While certainly it lacks engine power when compared to likes of Su-27SM and J-11B its closer in overall performance and missile capacity to them than it is to F-16ADF or JF-17 (let alone 13.0s) and as such it should see BR increase similiarly to MKK.

No comment and leo at least have stabilaizer

Mode: Ground Realistic Battles

Vehicle: BMPT

Change: 11.3 → 12.7

Reasoning:

  • Most OP ground vehicle perhaps in the entire existence of War Thunder
  • makes all IFVs unplayable
  • most survivable out of the two

Give MKK the N001VEP and it can go up. It has a 12.3 radar

Mode: Ground Realistic Battles

Vehicle: BMPT-72

Change: 11.3→ 12.3

Reasoning:

  • has the same overpowered characteristics as the BMPT
  • Makes all IFVs unplayable
  • Its slightly less survivable than the BMPT as it has less crew

Buccaneer S.2B AIR RB 10.7 → 10.3

Reason, no forward armament, the only advantage it has is speed but you can’t make a base to bomb, as everything is faster at your BR and can’t use that to its advantage in a full uptier at 11.7. The aim 9Ls same as the A10 at 10.3.

Desperately needs an airspawn.

BMPT (both versions) 11.7 → 12.3/12.7

gaijin claims that game balance is based on a combination of player statistics and vehicle capabilities. however, when a vehicle scores very high in both aspects (and most of the community is complaining about) gaijin seems to simply ignore this for reasons everyone here already knows.

can we stop the double standards for once?

Premium flankers STILL not going up despite being one of the most popular requests is crazy

The BMPT-72 is piss easy to kill if not hull down and doesn’t have any of the survivability quirks of the regular BMPT, it’s more than fine at 11.3 even.
