Vehicle: Yak-130
Mode: Air RB
Change: 9.0 → 9.3
Reason: Similar climb, acceleration, agility to the Ariete, but is more accessible due to its place in the researchable tech tree. Currently it is outperforming many fighters and interceptors at its BR.
Radar is not that good
RWR ill give you
Bullpups have a skill requirement to use them effectively same with the offset CCIP, but unlike a bullpup you don’t need to tend to it after firing the S-1s
A2A missiles are not often used in ground of that BR, and i’d rather the guns so i don’t need to sacrifice ground ordnance, or strafe a ground target
same as above, except there are guns, even if they are .50s and not all that useful
15Bis, its much better
And excellent energy and acceleration characteristics
poor, not awful, they can be easily learned, this isn’t an MK108 or Ho-301
to check where things are, you can easily aim the rockets by rolling the aircraft, while not flying straight into SPAA like other aircraft, making you a harder target
I own it and have used it, and also been on the receiving end of it
so will everything else, and only in a full uptier at that, you can also just approach low and use the downward angle of the rockets to aid in the neutralistation of these systems with a popup attack from tree level, but yes these SPAAs are meant to be scary, its their job, and its a full uptier for you
lack of attack aircraft is not Unique, to USSR, and even then there are the 45mm props which are quite uptierable
it’s 7.3 in ground, and is going to 7.7, and should go up further, though the difference is that the Albatross has significantly worse flight perfromance
Panzer 4 H and J
4.0-4.7
a 5 second reload will make them as good as a sherman firefly. This is insanity
Especially T26E5 doesn’t have 200+ pen at that br its useless at 8.0 uptiers
Don’t forget sea vixen has no guns so if somebody gets on your butt, you may as well J out
but much better turn and energy retention. and better cannon too.
Devs, please take a serious look at this.
The only reason the F-80C stats improved was due to a bug that has been corrected. 8.0 is too high for this aircraft compared to other 8.0 aircraft like the F-86A & MiG-15.
shame the harriers are a pile of junk most the time from a borked FM and being hotter than a neutron star
Have to love some of the best clubbing vehicles getting an unnecessary buff.
the infinite wep? it still has it, no?
vehicles: XM1 (C) and (GM)
Change: given M774
Reason: to more adequately fight vehicle’s of higher ranks in uptiers and to replace the heavily diminished performance of M735 ammunition which used to perform at a similar level when these tanks were first sold. This returns the value to the players that bought them.
(nothing about the a6 lol)
CCIP+CCRP should at least be at 8.0
1 suggestion per post
Vehicle: Hunter F.6 (UK)
Mode: Air RB
Change: 9.7 → no change
Reason: This aircraft does not have the speed, climb, or countermeasures to compete at a baseline BR of 10.0. In comparison to the Swiss F.58 at 10.0, this aircraft has, A) a weaker engine, B) no countermeasures. 2 extra SRAAM (good, but much shorter range than the AIM-9J on the F.58) is not enough to account for the BR raise which will make this unplayable.
Like what? I can’t think of anything that’ll fill the Ho-Ri gap (in terms of capability)
type 75 and type 99. both are very good TDs for the same br and arent fake
Vehicle: Harrier GR7
Modes: Air Arcade
Change: 13.0-12.3
Reason: this would place it as the same level as RB, a level at which the RB version is already underperforming, the current level of 13.0 means a sub sonic attack aircraft whose main plus point in air battle is 4 IRCCM missiles has to face multiple Fox 3 carrying aircraft with far higher munition loads, far better agility, far higher speeds, the GR7 at 13.0 in arcade has been a repeated aberration the last year or more of patch cycles.
Vehicle: Sea Vixen
Mode: Air Simulator
Change: 8.3 → 9.3
The sea vixen has both more and better missiles than nearly everything at a BR lower than 9.7, while also having a better flight model than anything at 8.3, with 9.3 being the point where it gets even somewhat close. It out-runs, out-accelerates, and out-turns everything it faces currently, making it functionally unkillable. At 9.3 it would still have one of the best flight models, but not by such an extreme degree as it does now.
Both AEC AA and Crusader AA Mk2, have undeniable quality in ability to “head on” many aircraft, which is something that pilots often like to do with SPAAs.
Not saying it is any great SPAA, especially not vs ground, but this property makes it uniquely useful and effective as pure SPAA.
