No BRV fighter should face BR2 AA.
BR2 AA kills everything though. If you can’t, it’s because of skill.
You seriously want to squish 5 BRs worth of fighters into 3? How much slog do you want there to be without moving up in BRs?
Do you have a really good reason for that to not be the case?
Should we space out gear just to fill a BR?
I’d argue that’s the man problem with the entire Japanese tech tree. They spaced stuff out just to make it seem deeper than any of it really is.
The fact that aside from a singular example in each tree it works perfectly? There is no reason to change anything without Jets.
The Japanese tech tree doesn’t have anything because there’s nothing to have, Japan never developed anything to put there because they were entirely focused on fighting the war with a largely non industrialised nation. That’s not the same as taking what works perfectly fine and squishing it down unnecessarily,
Exactly. There almost is no reason to change anything without jets.
But since we have them, every other aircraft needs to be reevaluated.
And everything you say about Japan is right. And yet they have more BRV fighters than Russia. That’s absolutely crazy. Done solely to stretch out the Japanese tech tree.
Squishing it all down will just give everything that’s stuck in the shadows of jets a place to actually fly and compete.
By casting everything else in shade. BRV Planes in BRIII require BRIII planes to be moved down or left to rot. If they’re moved down BRII planes require the same thing, and all BRI planes would be abandoned. How is that any better than what is currently happening with Jets?
Why would those need to be pushed back? Why do feel this need to space everything out?
The differences between most BR3 and BR5 fighters is negligible (suspended armaments excluded)
Do the difference between the La-5FN v the La-7 justify the 3 v 5 difference?
You want 2 regular BRs, a slog comprised of 3 BRs and two empty BRs? That’s worse than all empty ones.
Would certainly be more balanced and versatile than what is currently offered.
Who cares if a some BRs are left mostly empty.
BR2 has more rifles than any other BR. Should we superficially space those out too?
All we ever really needed was 3 BRs anyways.
Early, mid and late war. But now with certain additions, a 4th post war/experimental is required.
Either they add BR6 and move jets there - or they massively nerf jets payload and turn rates.
I really dont understand why this is the case, BR3 is popular - there are enough players there for a BR3/BR4 MM, yet I also very rarely get non BR5 matches.
Its very convenient for Soviets to bring KV1 - a tank which is disgusting in low BR, while being pathetic in BR4. Why bring T34 57 or KV2 when you never have to deal with BR4 vehicles.

Won’t happen, as Korean war is already planned content for WT’s infantry mode.
With ±1 MM still being a thing, BR6 wouldn’t solve anything. It would only relocate the problem.
Instead of BR4 being the least popular BR, BR5 would take its place. Instead of BR4 props suffering, BR5 props would suffer.
Just overall terrible take from people who are not really interested in playing high BRs.

They aren’t a problem. If im spawning in a prop with the sole intention to kill a jet, i do 9 times out of 10. It requires a little skill, nothing crazy though
All the best props can already out turn them and take them out as they make their u-turn from dropping/ re-arming
This is only if the enemy jet cant play because you have good turn rate doesn’t mean you are a good fighter all the jet needs to do is gain altitude and boom and zoom you to compare a jet with a prop is like to compare King Tiger to a Churchill. The reason majority of jets die to prop is simple they cant play in the first place only if they had basic IQ how to play a Jet should be a requirement xD There is literally props that cant do nothing against jets like P-63. Jets are absolutely OP and they have even OP turn rate if you use vertical turning and using your altitude you cant even be outturned by a prop. However you must learn that jet dog fighting is not prop dog fighting the jet dog fighting becomes spiral.
If you dog fight a prop with a jet like a prop why do you even use a jet really ? And the Meteor turn rate is better then majority of props so yeah. Jets deserve every nerf.

You do. You have repeatedly stated your dislike of empty BRs. You can’t stand on both sides and expect to have a good basis for an argument.
The problem with these “balance” discussions is there is a disconnect between the capabilities of the machines and the capabilites of the pilot…
If I routinely shootdown BR 5 planes with BR 1 planes (and I do)…its pilot forced error…not the BR 1 planes being amazing or the B5 planes being “meh”. (ANYTHING is capable if the other guy puts himself in front of your guns…the real question is…did he have to?)
BR rating based on the average pilot capabilites is why the plane BR tree is all over the shop in the first place. Because game devs seem to balance off of spreadsheet Statistics of the performance of the majority “pilots” (and they dont use them well at all, frequently make poor choices)…not actual machine performance used “properly”
^^^ That has always been my beef with how devs balance games

My power trip fantasy for the Commonwealth just involves Centurion Mk Is, EM-2s (Rifle No. 9s), and either Brens convertes to .280 British or a Taden Gun…
That’s a rather lame BR V line-up, in terms of power level… A .280 Bren would have a hard time even being BR IV.
I’m perfectly content remaining with BR IV being “peak Commonwealth”, btw, the above after all is just a fantasy.
For now…
If we have post war garbage like the Su-9 jet I see literally no reason why the allies can’t get EM-2s at this point. Bridge is burnt by now, might as well go all the way and have fun with it
