IMO the chinese F-5A should be same BR as USA F-5A/C for GRB, the diffrence between the Aim 9E and P dosnt matter alot for GRB. But at least the Chinese F-5A is going down a bit now (which I had suggested the last 2 BR updates)
G.91 R/1 (Italy) - BR 8.7 is illogical: Only 2 pylons, no missiles, no cannons.
The G.91 R/1 in the Italian tech tree is currently in a legacy state at 8.7 BR. It is fundamentally the weakest version of the “Gina” family, yet it is forced to share the same BR as objectively superior variants like the R/3 and R/4.
Fatal Loadout Disparity (The “2 Pylons” Problem)
Unlike the G.91 R/3 (Germany) and the G.91 R/4 (Italy/Germany) which feature 4 underwing pylons, the R/1 is limited to only 2.
• In Ground RB, this effectively halves its Close Air Support (CAS) potential.
• Carrying a useful ground loadout on only 2 pylons cripples its flight performance without providing the offensive “punch” that justifies an 8.7 rating.
• 12.7mm machine guns lack the burst mass to compete with the 30mm DEFA cannons of the German R/3 or the 20mm/30mm cannons of its adversaries.
Proposed Fixes:
• Option A: Down-tier to 8.0/8.3 (Preferred).
• Option B: Historical Upgrade (G.91 R/1B). If the R/1 must stay at 8.7, Gaijin must introduce the R/1B modification to provide the 4 underwing pylons. However, even with 4 pylons, it would still be inferior to the R/3 (cannons).
France still havent receive a new round for them the introduction of F1 and if we compare with the others vehicles in this same battle rating we can see theyre not currently fiting well there.
its too slow for light tank. Yeah, its has pretty good gun (for light tank), but when you have Fox, there 0 reasons to use it. Fox fast enough to attack sides, but Scimtar not.
Reason: If this didnt have a air spawn it would be worse then most of the 8.3 planes, even with a air spawn at 8.7 it will be mostly mid. You cant even bomb a entire base in ARB so not sure what this plane is meant to do. If it is to stay 9.0 at least give it Aim-9Bs.
The Italian P40 and P40 “G.C. Leoncello” from 3.3 to 3.7 in Ground Arcade. These tanks have great armor, mobility, and sufficient penetration shells with insane post-pen damage. Since many current 3.3 and 3.7 vehicles are being moved up in this update, leaving the P40 at 3.3 would make them too dominant. They definitely belong at 3.7.
Buccaneer S.2
9.3 → 9.0
The only good thing about the Buccaneer is its bombs. It’s a bomber, even though it’s classified as a cas. At 10.3, there’s a good chance of getting hit by AA but at 10.0, that risk decreases, which is why it makes sense to use the Buccaneer as a bomber in Ground RB. It’s too sensitive to uptier, because even around 9.3 it feels heavy.
Valentine I
2.7 → 2.3
In the 2-pounder variant, the Valentine doesn’t make much sense because there’s already the Valentine XI on this BR with a 75mm gun and the better-armored Matilda. This will at least give some reason to choose this one.
