Planned Battle Rating changes, January 2023 [Updated 23.01.2023]

[Stona 72,454]

 

Based on collected feedback regarding ground vehicles, we have decided to make additional changes that consist of transferring some of the top and pre-top ranked vehicles to a higher level. This change does not apply to all top ranked vehicles. Based on the results of the change in performance efficiency, further adjustments to the BR (increase or decrease) will be carried out for units affected by the change and also for units that also haven’t changed rating at that time. 

It has also been decided to abandon some of the points regarding the reduction of BR in AB for vehicles with HEAT shells with high penetration at their rank. Except for the Ikv 103 for which the high penetration of the HEAT shell at a relatively high rate of fire for similar guns is compensated with poor ballistics, insufficient protection and mobility. The alternative to changing the rate of fire of the Type 69-II G was to increase its BR to 8.7, the current efficiency of the unit is much higher than the efficiency of similar vehicles at the same rank (for example it exceeds the efficiency of the Swedish Strv 121). The BR of the Type 69-II G decreased in May from 8.7 to 8.3 and the return of the old BR is currently not advisable as the decrease of fire rate will allow this vehicle to remain at its current BR.

We don’t plan to adjust Battle Ratings for such vehicles as, for example, 2S38 or BMP-2M. Due to the general revisiting of the upper limits of BRs and further possible adjustments via their combat efficiency, massively reported vehicles (2S38, BMP-2M, CV90105, etc.) will be thoroughly monitored before the next session of BR corrections. In addition, we don’t plan to revoke the BR adjustments for the Ariete MBT family, however certain improvements in their combat efficiency are expected in the upcoming game major update.

Aircraft rank changes

In the “Apex Predators” update, we added several new aircraft of rank VIII and as announced subsequently, we will be moving some rank VII aircraft to rank VIII: F-14A, MiG-23MLA, MiG-23MLD, MiG-27K, Harrier GR.7 and Mirage 2000C-S5. We also will be moving the F-104S from rank VI to rank VII. The aircraft transfer will take place with the release of the planned BR changes.

The conditions for opening new aircraft ranks will also be adjusted to comply with the general rule for opening new ranks. 

• Germany - for opening of rank VII aircraft, the number of required aircraft at rank VI has been adjusted from 3 to 4.
• Italy - for opening of rank V aircraft, the number of required aircraft at rank IV has been adjusted from 5 to 6. For opening rank VIII aircraft, the number of required aircraft at rank VII has been adjusted to 2.
• Sweden - for opening of rank III aircraft, the number of required aircraft at rank II has been adjusted from 4 to 6. For opening rank V aircraft, the number of required aircraft at rank IV has been adjusted from 5 to 6. For opening rank VII aircraft, the number of required aircraft at rank VI has been adjusted from 3 to 4.
