i think they should just give it a wormhole device that spawns infinite ASRAAMs and put it at 14.7 honestly

Suggestion:
-Mode: RB
-Vehicle: IKV 103
-4.0>4.0 (or increase) + Let it keep the “slpsgr m/65”
-Reasoning: The HEAT-FS is a unique attribute of this vehicle. There would be little to no reason to play it over the Sav m/43. Lowering the BR to 3.3 makes it face many vehicles with a very short reload rate while it has virtually no armor.
The HEAT-FS does indeed make it gimmicky, but special and interesting.

F-104A
AirRB
The BR bracket suffers heavily from supersonic aircraft like the F-104 etc.
The 104C is already moving up. The 104A should also go up.
This would make some breathing room for the 8.3 - 9.3 BR bracket.
Thank you for your serious take on those changes <3
AMX-13-M24
- Ground Battles: Change from Rank II to Rank III
Reasoning:
Other M24 variants are being moved to Rank III. The AMX-13-M24 is France’s only M24-based derivative on the AMX hull, yet it remains at Rank II. I believe it should be moved to Rank III as well since its BR is getting increased.

I just saw this:
The IKV 102 could be added in a future update instead of the planned BR-change (and ammo change) of the IKV 103. This way the IKV 103-appreciators can keep their funny HEAT-FS-wagon and sweden gets a new vehicle.
The IKV 102 has already been passed to the developers (Ikv 102 (1956) - The Ikv 103 before HEAT-FS, as a suggestion. (Old forum post)).

Yes, but with the caveat that its reload is nerfed to 5.9~6.3 seconds. It’s a very powerful round to be slinging about at such a low BR. A reload nerf would make sense given its there’s much less room for the turret crew compared to the likes of any Sherman.
I’d argue that even then, it still would need to go to 3.0, but it would still be in a better state there than it is in currently without APHE at 2.7.

Valentine MK XI missing its ESS smoke dischargers
Almost every British low-mid rank tank is missing ESS, so that could be factored in to any BR change.

Well yeah, the ammo change is silly given it was able to use the round and the 102 literally fulfills the role the snail wants with this change.

Wouldn’t be the first time premiums have moved up in rank.
Leopard 2A4 premiums moved up in rank when rank 8 was added.
Do any of the m24s need moving? Most of these so called tanks get front penned by AA, the german pz4s included. I was in a t34 just last night and get one popped by AA- so that too. The sherman the only tank on the list that doesnt
IMO, they are quite strong, but the impact of increased BR won’t be felt as much since other tanks are being moved up alongside the M24 Chaffee. I see this as largely a negligible change.
M24 should be used as a scouting ambusher. It’s not meant to be immediately seen and shot at.
I’d consult the survivability onion.

Have a look at my post. There’s a lot of ways to make it fit 4.0 just fine.
GRB A-7K
11.0 > 10.7
Rarely seen in GRB. There is no solid 11.3 lineup for it. Have the same capabilities as A-7D and A-7E, just lower in BR. It would be a nice fit for the American 10.7 lineup, like the SU-25BM in the Russian tech tree.

should be 10.7 in ARB and SB too honestly

Dunno man. Tanks should be the last thing they up BR IMO when AA is front penning them.
Me262A-1a Jabo
Gamemode: Ground RB
BR Suggestion 7.0->6.7
Reasoning:
The Me262A-1a Jabo is a ground attack specialised version of the Me262A-1a. The primary difference is the ability to carry two SC250s or one SC500.
The bomb load is identical to the Me262A-2a (event vehicle) which is at 6.7 BR in ground RB. The primary difference between that and the A-1a Jabo is that the A-2a two MK108 cannons mounted in the nose whereas the Jabo has four. The MK108 has no ability to attack armoured targets on the ground, therefore there is not a significant advantage as a CAS aircraft over the A-2a.
Germany lacks a good available lineup for 7.0 (there are zero ground vehicles currently available for Germany at 7.0). The Jabo therefore is rarely used in the gamemode it is meant for. Moving it down to 6.7 would enable it to be used, and would not be any better than the existing similar event vehicle version.
A similar reduction in BR for the Kugelblitz which was 7.0 and is now 6.7 was very successful in increasing the usage of that vehicle. The idea has merit.
Also applies to the A-1a (non Jabo) which cannot carry bombs.
Shortened summary:
Functionally similar to Me262A-2a which is at 6.7 and does not overperform at that BR.
Jabo is underutilised. Move to 6.7 would allow better utilisation.

i think the core problem with that is that AA is a bit too effective at blowing up tanks at alot of battle ratings honestly.
i love playing reserve arcade, it’s fun and i do decently in it, but it’s such a killjoy to suddenly be blown up by some guy driving an SPAA spraying tanks down and winning

So, we are still paying the Python tax on the kfir C7, Kurnass 2000 and Kfir C2.
Also the unjustified changes for the Jh7A in GRB also still went trough without any new weapons or changed to the kit.
All in all, big nothingburger of changes

F-14B
- Air Realistic Battles Battle Rating: May or may not warrant an increase in Battle Rating
- Give F-14B’s AIM-54C to have a reduced smoke motor (Bug Report)
- Fix AIM-54C’s performance (buff) (Outstanding Bug Report)
- Model AIM-54C as all-aspect pulse doppler (Outstanding Bug Report)
- Give F-14B’s missing AIM-9M (Bug Report)
- Fix F-14B’s AXX-1 TCS, so it becomes a proper sensor and supporting missile guidance (Bug Report 1) (Bug Report 2)
- Increase the effectiveness of the BOL pod (Bug Report #1 - Chaff) (Internal Bug Report #2 - Flare)
- Flame2512’s writeup (reverse the ahistorical nerf to BOL CMs)
- Give F-14B’s missing AIM-7MH with lofting capability
Reasoning: I feel the F-14B Tomcat could be improved at its current BR placement, so it does not need to be moved down in the future. With its older airframe, it lacks effective IR missiles, and adding the AIM-9M Sidewinder would be a great improvement.
With the AIM-54C Phoenix receiving a reduced-smoke motor and improved performance, it becomes more effective than the AIM-54A Phoenix, which would help better differentiate the F-14B from the F-14A Tomcat’s overall in-game performance.
Additionally, the F-14B is missing the AIM-7MH Sparrow, essentially an AIM-7M with lofting capability, which should be relatively straightforward to implement.

Vehicle: M4A2
Mode: Ground Realistic Battles
BR: 4.0 → 4.3
Reasoning: The general decompression of this area is affecting most medium tanks in the BR range, but leaving the M4A2 untouched. It is simply untenable for this to be at the same BR as a Chaffee or a Pz IV J, and only one BR step above the M4A1. This vehicle is already a downtier monster. Most of the mediums being moved up will be rightfully prevented from bullying 2.3/2.7 vehicles, but they’re also being pegged to a vehicle that in its own right is a bully and a sealclubber. It should move up with the rest.
