Pretty much 90% of the props they have going up in BR, should not be going up in BR

Pz.IV H

germ_pzkpfw_IV_ausf_H

  • Rank: IIIII

  • All Battles: 4.04.0 (No Change)

germ_pzkpfw_iv_ausf_h

Rationale:
The original justification of dropping the German PzIVs from tier III to II was the BR-change to 3.7. Now that they are being moved back up, it would be fair to update their status back to Rank III, so players can use them for events again.

cant use red text switch it to Orange

C.202 Folgore

image

Mode → ARB
BR Change: 3.0 → 2.7

Reason: This plane has a very lackluster armament despite first looks, the Italian Breda-SAFAT 12.7mil machine gun has very poor ballistics and damage despite the belts its given.
The flight performance of this plane is supposed to be the saving factor of it, but at 3.0 it is pretty average and so it ends up with very poor armament and without a flight model to carry said flaw.

T77E1

Mode: N/A
BR Change: 4.0 → 4.0(no change)
Rank: II → III

Rationale:
Almost all 4.0 vehicles in every country in the game are 4.0. This tank is extremely good for rank 2 and could definitely use a rank III buff. This could also let it’s BR be moved up higher, but i highly recommend against it

C.202EC

image

Mode → ARB

BR Change: 4.0 → 3.7 / 3.3

C.202EC is the 20mil carrying model of the C.202, however the differences end there. The C.202EC has the same engine and airframe as it’s 3.0 variant with no additional upgrades, this means the gunpods and extra weight of the 20mm MG151/20s tank the performance of this aircraft even further.
The C.202EC should become a sidegrade to the C.205, while the C.205 would offer expectacular flight performance but poor armament and ballistics, the C.202EC would present a slightly below average flight performance for harder hitting 20mil cannon with slightly better ballistics. (MG151/20 suffers from poor ballistics)

Yeah and you need to do that for 7-10 min depending on map to reach that altitude. When you done climbing he already on the way back to AF, thx for your gameplay kekw.

While this wouldn’t affect BR in all likelyhood, I wanted to throw out there that all/most of the German and Italian aircraft with MG 151s need the option to switch between the 15 and 20 mm barrels. There might be a few exceptions depending on when/how a plane was made that could prevented this, but this should be something they could do on most aircraft with these guns. There are a lot of bug reports for German aircraft missing this option. There’s even a report for the G.55 missing this option, so it stands to reason that even earlier Italian aircraft should be able to use the 15 mm if desired.

While its not as potent, I can certainly see many people appreciating the much better ballistics and armor penetration of 15 mm ammunition.

No, the 11.3 one gets both

get gaijin to actually decompress the game then.

Yak-15 (production)

image

Mode → All
BR Change: None

Swap the Yak-15P’s and Yak-15’s positions, the Yak-15P is a far more punishing starter jet for USSR players than the regular Yak-15 due to the single 23mil cannon with 60 rounds total instead of the pair that the production variant has with 120 rounds total.

One might also add that the “Yak-15P” designation never existed, as this aircraft is supposed to be the rushed airframes made for the parade of 18 of august 1946, so it will make more sense for the full production variant to be more accesible than the rare batch of unbaked parade “feathers”

Pz.IV J & Pz.Bef.Wg.IV J

germ_pzkpfw_IV_ausf_J
germ_panzerbefelhswagen_IV_ausf_J
sw_pzkpfw_IV_ausf_J

  • Realistic Battles: 4.03.7

germ_pzkpfw_iv_ausf_j
germ_panzerbefelhswagen_iv_ausf_j

Rationale:
Like it’s brethren the Ausf. H, the Ausf. J variant offers more firepower but with a caveat. It trades it for poor gun handling, diminishing it’s capabilities to quickly respond to threats. Keeping it at 3.7 seems fair along with the Ausf.G as G & J can complement each other. Former providing more mobility in the platform while the latter offering more penetration in a similar platform.

What does that have to do with you advocating for more open compression

Hey man, you might want to look into the marder III H, 5 second reload with an above average german 75mil pen.
I’d say a 3.3 or even 3.7

how is that compression? the etendard is simply overtiered and it going to 8.7 changes nothing, you have way better aircrafts at lower BRs with more Aim-9Bs, what are you actually on about

I mean, there are Panzer IVs in rank I

I’ll add it to the list.

Yeah so move up the VK 30.02 M…

Though the VK also needs to be corrected to the historical 80mm front plate it had.

the long 75mm ones
