I think everyone can agree that the CLAWS is an even worse SPAA than the NASAMS. At the very least, its Battle Rating should be lowered to 12.0 , and it should be made available without requiring an additional RP grind.
Air
SB2C-1C
3.0>2.7…???why???
It’s a solid if not spectacular plane. Capable of doing it’s job and having enough performance and firepower to give a decent chance for survivabilty against opposition planes.
I fail to see the logic of lowering the BR of the 1C, doubly so when the SB2C-4 remains at 3.7. Surely neither or both should go down as the differences aren’t that great.
The latter variant has a more powerful engine giving a small performance boost, and the wider range of ordinance might be useful to some players, however this is certainly not worthy of a 1.0 gap between the two (personally I don’t think it’s even +0.7)
Mode : Ground Realistic
Vehicle : M26 (Model armed with standard M3 gun)
BR change : 6.7 → 6.3
Reason : If the BR of the Tiger II (Nr.1-50) and the IS-2 (1944) is lowered from 6.7 to 6.3, the M26 should also be moved to 6.3. Furthermore, the T26E1-1 and M26E1 remain at 6.7, while the M26 is noticeably inferior to both of them.
Mode : Ground Realistic
Vehicle : M26A1 (Italian tank armed with upgraded M3A1 gun)
BR change : 6.7 → 6.7
suggest : The Italian M26A1 is fitted with the upgraded M3A1 gun, so it should be capable of firing HEAT-FS rounds.

GRB: AGS 12.0 → 11.3. The current ammo is too weak for top tier battle. Lower the BR or have a 450+ pen ammo.
Suggestion
Air
SB2C-4 (also applicable to French SB2C-5)
3.7>3.3 (or move to Tier III)
If the SB2C-1C is going down then surely the later variant should follow suit. It’s got slightly more power with a small performance boost, and a wider range of armament options,however whether these are worth +0.7 is debatable let alone a full 1.0 different between the two.
If the SB2C-1C does go to 2.7, and the SB2C-4 remains at 3.7 then de-folder and move the -4 to tier III.

RB AIR:
Continuing to move all those zeros up is wild. I don’t even fly them but i feel sorry for those that do. Yes they turn. Yes they are annoying but a 330-350mph fighter that keeps moving up like this is crazy. Please stop.
The mk 9 spits are pretty unimpressive to me with their cooling issues and loss of energy i would leave them at 4.3 or even move them down but definitely don’t move them to 4.7
Mkv spitfire could go to 3.7 with the 2b and the vb/trop the stats are almost identical.
Ki100 has guns its pretty average other than that i would leave it at 4.0.
Could you move the Typhoon 1b to 4.0? the typhoon 1bL with better stats is at the same battle rating of 4.3.
iTP could make sense at 4.3 if the overheating has gotten better i’m guessing it hasn’t.
Some of the other RB air prop moves seem reasonable overall

M4A4 (China): Rank II → Rank III.
It makes no sense being Rank II while all other M4A4 are Rank III.

The F/A-18C is also worse in almost every regard when it comes to flight performance, A2A weaponry and systems.
Also Kh59 are MITL and mavs are a joke when fired from an airframe like the hornet.
Vehicle: A-10C
Gamemode: Ground Realistic
BR Change: 11.7 —> 11.3
Reason: The main reason to lower the A-10C’s Battle Rating is to separate it from advanced SPAA systems such as the IRIS-T and similar platforms.
Although the A-10C’s BR was recently lowered, it still faces these advanced air defense systems. At the same time, it has no significant advantages over the A-10A. It carries the same Mavericks, it doesn’t have any substantially faster or more effective weapons, and GBU-39s released at around 600 km/h have very limited stand-off range and take a very long time to reach the target.
I believe the A-10C would have a much better chance of being competitive at 11.3 . In fact, many players believe its BR should be 11.0 .

T26E5 - 6.7 → 6.7 (Ground RB)
I really don’t think this tank needs a higher BR. It’s a perfect counterpart to Tiger II and it should stay as it is. The armor is thick, but the cannon is bit underwhelming compared to its counterparts at this BR.
M26 - 6.7 → 6.3 (Ground AB & RB)
As you are moving Tiger II (Nr. 1-50) and IS-2 1944 to 6.3, I see literally no reason to leave M26 behind. This tank is not as good as Tiger II, T26E1-1/T26E5 and T34 (US). It would make perfect sense to bring it to 6.3 along with the Tiger 2 (Nr. 1-50) and IS-2 1944. It would not be overpowered, since M26 has plenty of weakspots in the frontal armor and even Pz.IV’s cannon is capable of knocking it out frontally.

Just remove the gbu-39s and make it 11.3. the only time the gbu-39s are good on this thing is when you have altitude and that extremely rare.
Vehicle: XM1C and XM1gm Gamemode: Ground Realistic BR Change: 9.3 —> 9.0 Reason:The M735 cannot handle tanks with a BR.M735 is inferior to 3bm22 Dm33 type93 dm63 m/90c. Or need powerful apfsds to 9.3

Just 11.3 without gbu39 removal. Gbu39 are worth nothing on a10c in grb.

Oh I agree, just stating it as a counterpart to his “but muh IR mavs on the 18C early” counterpart. If someone wants to have long range weapons on the MK2 there are plenty choices.
Oh this. Do people really need explanation why agm65 is outright useless post 11.7?

Without the GBU-39, it would essentially be no different from the A-10A in the game.

De-folder Bristol Brigand & Westland Whirlwind
Having these paired makes no sense. Other than having two engines and four cannons they have little in common as one is a 3 seat bomber and the other a single seat fighter from a different company… The Whirlwind has far more history alongside the Welkin who’s design originated from proposals built on Westlands experience with the earlier plane (although the final result bore little resemblance).
- Seperate. There is room for an independent Whirlwind placed ahead of the Brigand.
Or
- Seperate then refolder with a more appropriate workmate. Make a new Tier III folder with the Whirlwind + Welkin. The resulting gap in TIV could easily be filled with a new DH Hornet variant to maintain a 2 plane minimum. (likely either F1 or NF21)
Mode: Air Realistic Battle
Vehicle: Yak 3 (VK-107)
BR Change: 5.7 → 6.0/6.3
Reasoning: The Yak 3 (VK-107) is on par with the Yak 3u, which has really good acceleration and energy retention, good top speed and very good turn, while its slower at low altitudes, its faster at 4000m and higher. The climbrate is also better at 4000m+. Only at 6500/7000m both have around the same performance.

Raising the A-6E TRAM and J22 to 11.0 will simply kill them off. They perform perfectly well at 10.7. Let me remind you that all their long-range missiles are easily intercepted, and now they will become literally unplayable.
