Planned Battle Rating Changes (April 2026)

BMPT, BMPT-72

Ground Realistic Battles

11.7 → 12.0/12.3 and give it APFSDS.

Reasons:

  1. It has way to good armor and firepower when fighting against MBT on downtier. Even with 11.7 BR it will sometimes play against 10.7 tanks. Most popular one is leopard 2a4 which has only dm23 (408mm max pen). And m1 abrams with even worse shell (m774 has 372mm max pen). That is totally unfair when players have to face armor package from t90m on leo2a4 and m1 abrams. Their armor and firepower just uncomparable with the bmpt.
  2. If it gets 12.0 BR it will face tanks with way stronger armor and way stronger shells, so it should get APFSDS belt to perform well on uptiers, the same one from bmp2m. Usual apds belt will underperform in fights agaisnt leopard 2a7v, strv122b plus and other best tanks in the game. And even 12.0 tanks is armored well enough to hold 82mm max pen APDS belt.
  3. It will get perfect premium setup, because t80u-e1 has 12.0 br and su-30mk2 12.3 br.

A2D-1 NAB 9.0-7.0
there are no bases or airfields in NAB so it should back to a better br

Vehicle: Commandant Dominé
Gamemode: Naval Realistic
Balance Change: Spawn in Sub-chasers’ spawn point
Reason: The Commandant Dominé is a French minesweeper and the eighth ship in the Élan class.It should spawn at the same Sub-chaser spawn point as the German M-boot, which is also a type of minesweeper

Gamemode: Naval Realistic

Aircraft:
Mirage 4000

Mode:
Air RB

Proposed change:
13.0 > 12.7

Reasoning:
it has a bad radar for its battlerating with only a proper HDN mode, IR missiles which are lackluster in the BVR meta at this current moment when right above it and on its Battle Rating there are an abundance of ARM slingers. and the F-15s which are superior to it in every way except turning have been lowered too

Vehicles: Su-30MK2
Gamemode: Air RB and Ground RB
Br Change: (Air RB) 13.3 → 13.7 (Ground RB) 12.3 ->12.7
Reason: (Air RB) This plane is simply too strong, 6x great Fox-3s as well as 4x solid IRCCM missiles on decent a fm for air RB with digital RWR and 98x large caliber countermeasures make it easily the second best 13.3 in the game.
It has the second best missile kit (R-77, R-73, R-27E) at 13.3, allowing it to easily win against every other 13.3 plane (besides the other flanker) in jousts, it has great range thanks to R-27ER and has plenty of missiles to spare as it is the highest missile count of any 13.3 plane in the game.

Reason: (Ground RB) This plane’s CAS loadout is almost identical to the Su-27SM’s loadout but it get carry one less Fox-3 and two more KH-29Ts. There is literally no reason for it to be lower in br compared to the Su-27SM’s

Would need to include the J-11A if this were to be the case, and I haven’t seen any complaints about that plane before, tbh

Edit: I have learned about the RWR differences, nvm
