[Rikers_Beard 517]

It's good to see something was done about the Puma IFV but it really should be 9.3. It's still going to ruin all 8.0 lineups.

[Gomaboko_tontaro 17]

• PUMA — in all modes the BR has been increased from 8.3 to 9.0.
  
   
• Begleitpanzer 57 — the BR in AB has been increased from 9.0 to 9.3, and in RB from 8.7 to 9.0.

[Deathskyz 69]

The BR Changes are very much welcomed. Although the PUMA and Begleitpanzer 57 could be 9.3 material.

 

Could you guys take a look at the Israeli Magach 6A and Sho't Kal Alef? They are both 8.0 when the M60A1 (Italy) and Centurion Mk 10 are 7.7.

[spacenavy90 1,402]

Magic 2 baby lets gooooo

[Cervomix 1,307]

Finally, that was impossible to fight these invincible Puma in a 7.3 game...

just want to mention that you could at least moved them around in the tree, its kinda weird that you go now from 8.0 (marder 1a3) to 9.0 (puma) 8.7 (tam) 9.0 (bagel)

[efetenekeci 1,841]

Why did the Begleitpanzer and PUMA moved to same BR? Wouldn't it be better to place them at different BRs so more presets can be covered with IFVs? 

[Major_Shaker 2,633]

Puma at 9.0 and Begleit at 9.0 are great BR changes.

But why is BMP-2M still at 8.7? How about PT-76-57 not bumping up to 8.0?

Mi-28A could be 10.3 to be honest.

Merkava Mk.2D could also get bump to 9.3 at least in RB. If it faces 8.0-8.3 it dominates the battle. XM-1 is 9.3 and it is doing fine. 

Thanks for consideration.

AFAIK BRs are not adjusted to fits someones presets. They are adjusted on their performance in battles.

[_Baum_ 25]

Still no fix fpr the memory leak? I am sick and tired of restarting the game after two matches just to be able to have a somewhat playable experience.

[DEVESTATOR2 70]

Puma change and the Type60 ATM/Zachlam Tager changes are great
but the Begleit BELONGS below 8.7 and the BMP-2M should be at 9.0

• Zachlam Tager — in all modes the BR has been decreased from 7.3 to 6.7.

 

While I love this change, could you guys maybe.... get more into the way of reducing RP requirements with BR drops like this for new vehicles/vehicles getting chunky BR drops? Kind of gets annoying/depressing when you put in effort to unlock a vehicle that was overtiered and its BR dropped quickly, then it takes a month or 3 more for its RP cost to be brought in line with the new BR.

 

I think the community would very much enjoy seeing this happen as it stops them having to grind out an extra like, what, 30-100k RP sometimes for a vehicle simply due to a BR placement error on launch? It makes it feel like you wasted X amount of RP/time unlocking said vehicle only to see the RP requirement drop if you waited a little bit of time and focused on another vehicle instead.

 

(edit: for example with the Tager, now it is on BR with the AMX 13, which is half the RP requirement, even the AML 90 which is a higher BR now is about 40k RP less to unlock)

[Warpzeh 39]

Does Gaijin give the BMP-2M special treatment? When will it be uptiered? 4x tandem atgms doesn't concern you at 8.7? How is it fair?

Actual sources for such a change? Nice

[Lunacae 318]

Beglietpanzer 57 and Puma increase, but still no change to BMP2M

[ChuckNorrisROU 5]

Talking about aircraft weaponry changes , take note that A-10A Late has missing 20mm gunpods and GBUs...i made a ,,report an issue" post but is still not answered...

[MJPIA 480]

Excellent news for all the 7.3 and 7.7s out there, should take a lot of pressure off of the unstabilized post war tanks

[Cpt_Bel_V 4,790]

@Stona: i suppose actual Magic-II doesn't have the IRCCM in game: was it for Balance purpose?

Edited April 5, 2022 by Cpt_Bel_V

[RO_Joker 17]

I support the BR changes. :-)

Pretty much this. All the late IFVs added to the game got moved up, the Bradley, Dardo, Puma etc., just these 2 remain. Now after the Puma stomping everything in the 8-9 bracket, I'm sure that their winrate took a dip, so obviously the algorithm will say that they don't need to be moved.  

[AventadorLam 12]

 

Other nation players may hate this but, considering the capability of M3A3, 9.0 is high enough for Puma.

If Puma is 9.0 then add SPIKE ATGM launcher and move it to 9.3. fix armor and ammorack. At this BR missiles are must have, i agree that apfsds ammo is good but at close range. On big maps when 90% of fights are on distance over 1km that apfsds rounds are useless so adding SPIKEs ATGM would be fair.

If Begleit is 9.0 too then fix it armor and gun accuracy

[OberstTito 3]

I'm a little puzzled about why the Begleitpanzer belongs all the way up at 9.0 with same crappy TOW missiles it had at 8.3.

[Miraz05 255]

did gaijin fix performance issues,because now i can finally play the game without ulq at Low settings.Even though it still lags but its much better than before now i can get about 40+ fps on low settings with my intel hd 520 graphics and 8 gb ram.
