Why not just increase number of Hittite chariots as some of us have spent a fortune. Not as is any new historical evidence has appeared in last 24 months 🤷‍♂️

seconded, if the measure is to balance Hittite and NKE numbers then increase rather than decrease.

Technically you can get the chariot from the submitted Syrian cities under a hittite subgeneral thus boosting the number of available chariots.
...
The options are already on the table

Any change will not be to balance Hittite and NKE numbers - it will be based upon history.

You might find my answer agressive but honestly it will be following YOUR view and understanding of history, not mine . Also look at all the lists in the SAME book, same period and compare them as your philosophy always is officially that lists should be better used in their own time for balance and historical feeling ! But If I compare all the armies of the very same book I do not get that feeling but so it is. I do not feel history as you do . Also you loose sight of the "gaming" pleasure, the feeling of having a nice chariotry army  ( in this case )

Really, once I hear, it's based on history, it's based on the feeling, ..never it's based on what the players who buy and play the rules would like to play ..for a change be nice  ;D

No hard feelings do not worry and I will continue playing MEG but I am now free to modify lists for my own competitions  :) starting with BRULIB 2023

I am not that arrogant.  I actually listen to and take into account a lot of different opinions as I am sure many people will attest to.

You are welcome to your view of history (there is very little in ancient history that is universally agreed to).   What you want to play isn't necessarily what a lot of other people want to play.

You always have been. Any organiser always has been.

You can modify the lists, the rules and have your own private version if you want.
For me, I'm sticking with the official version and won't be going to BRULIB 2023 and its "badhabum" version.
Enjoy the game and good luck.
