On the matter of the Chi-Nu II, this vehicle saw a similar number of battles as the Panzer IV J, but with twice the efficiency of the Panzer IV. As such, this increase is planned to go ahead. On a similar note, the Panzer IV variants, both the H and J models specifically, are some of the lowest performing medium tanks within their current BR range. So a reduction in BR is a logical step to counter this.

Feedback has already been reviewed from the initial proposals and many were implemented. We do not plan a second round of changes within this update as these are now live as planned.

Any further BR feedback will be collected and reviewed in the next BR update in the future with its own topic

2 X AIM-9J was all that the German F-104 ever mounted at least in pictures. 2 X AIM-9J was added as German Starfighters used this loadout during training in the USA.

4 x AIM-9J may yet be reconsidered.

2x AIM-9J was all the German F-104 ever used according to currently available sources in a service capacity. It also better suits it's new BR of 10.3. 4 X AIM-9J would require more likely 10.7. But may be reconsidered in the coming days.

Since its introduction, the BR system has never omitted player statistics as that is one of the primary factors and reasons for its introduction. No vehicle in game has a BR based solely on its on paper or comparative performance to another similar vehicle. Every BR is decided independently based on the performance of that vehicle, taking into account how much its played, its line-ups and other factors.

There are many examples of comparatively (on paper) similar, better or worse vehicles being higher or lower than counterparts from other nations.

This was a vote for the economic system of the game, not the battle rating balance system of the game. The two are independent and separate.
