Yeah, I was told it was too similar to this one. Keep in mind as I was writing the suggestion the “make sure your suggestion wasn’t posted!” thread list didn’t had this post. But Oh well!

+1, with next gen missiles presumably not far off something like this should be implemented.
This would be great to have so that aircraft can get their full loadouts instead of being blocked due to their overall performance.
Personally I think the best way to do this would be to have it based on modifications that can be equipped/unequipped so that if equipped you can take the desired loadout but it changes the aircraft’s BR appropriately.

It would be particularly nice for situation like rank 7 French aircraft that are currently limited to magic 1 when they used magic 2 in their late service: Jaguar, Super Etendard, etc
This prevents duplicates while allowing more options
Yep, also for stuff like the Yak-141 and F-20A where they could get Fox 3 but currently don’t.
It also would be good for helicopters with their air to ground weapons. If we do ever see MmW guidance then dynamic BR’s would let them either play at their current BR with SAL guided weapons or play at a higher BR with MmW. Stuff like the Comanche which currently is stuck with AGM-114B could then get AGM-114L like what was planned.
It would open up a lot of new possibilities for aircraft both old and new.

Yes, also R-77 too.

Yes, PLEASE

BR depens on weapon loadout!
I have M1A1 Click Bait (BR 12.0) and FA-18C Early (BR 12.3) and most of times i get pushed in to high tier matches, as low tier player.
I dont understand why i can only use “M829A” on my M1A1 Click bait, because all other ammo is total useless… lower the BR to use weaker ammo to increase the gameplay.
I whould suggest to remove the laser distance to increase the fun of the gameplay.
i think the way this could realistically work would be that there are certain modifications that change the BR.
basically lets say you have a F/A-18 that only gets Fox-1s as stock, now it sits at 12.3 (stats are arbitrary and only a placeholder), but then when you start to unlock Aim-120s you can check a box to up the BR to 14.0 which now lets you use Fox-3s.
NOW, if you uncheck the box at the Aim-120s you go back to 12.3 AND cannot use any loadout containing any weapon that is featured in the modification line past the Aim-120.
This can be used for Air BRs AND Ground BRs separately, since it doesn’t make a huge difference practically if you got a Aim-120 or Aim-7 as an F/A-18 in Ground RB but it makes a huge difference if you got dumb-bombs or guided bombs. And vice versa it doesn’t make the biggest difference in Air RB if you got dumb bombs or guided bomb but better missiles and so on and so on.
this makes sense since you cant change modification mid-game or while in a queue while you can do that for loadouts.
this could also be used for tanks as well for the different rounds they unlock. but if you use or select the round while the checkbox is unselected, it simply doens’t show up. and if you only select the not-available round then it gives you a full loadout of the stock-round.
and this also could be used to separate SACLOS Helicopters and FnF Helicopters.
Obviously lowtier vehicles are less affected than high tier vehicles.
all in all I think my idea is the best because if it was a bad idea then I wouldn’t come up with it, simple as.

I chose “yes but” because I think the example given is probably too generous. I think +/- 0.3 is fine, maybe 0.7 if you’re playing a CAS like a Fighter.
Recently, there has been a CC that has suggested this too:
AzimuthZero. (2026, August 18). I fixed War Thunder’s BR system [Video]. YouTube.
To discuss the video, please do so here:

+1 I think this would be super beneficial for the game

Okay, for some aircrafts it would be good, for example Israeli voutur which has access to useless missles that will never hit anything because they are extremely easy to dodge, yet it seriously rises voutur br without justification.

Would be complex though a good post I prefer Gaijin making “Ground BR Air BR like they have”
This is very needed in both air and tank battles. The recent shell changes for british tanks have shown as much. If Churchill VII with M61 APHE should be 5.0, then there must be an option to have M61 AP on 4.7. Similarly, the Firefly must have optional APDS rising it to 5.0, like the italian Sherman Vc. Same thing with A.C.IV Thunderbolt. It would allow to fill many gaps in BRs.

I still can’t believe why it has so few votes this suggestion. And it’s not a GJ thing, that’s a playerbase one.
If you suggest a new plane/tank etc or buff this or that you’ll get thousands of votes.
A good solution for balance ofc it doesn’t get attention…

No, cuz the br sys is ok rn there is no need to change it. Also have we not learned anything from the whole skill-based matchmaking thing, in two or three months every one that says yes will be begging for it be removed.
