Planned Battle Rating Changes (April 2026)

F-15C has worse flight model and missile kit, gripen has terrible missile kit.
They’re good, but not that good.

J-10A I cannot comment on as I don’t have it nor do I have an equivalent. I do hear it’s very good though, still not flanker level.

I’m not going to argue with preferences

i put bmd-4 in my 13.0 lineup to farm SP quickly. And it is playable on 13.0. But because bmd4 is playable at 13.0 that doesnt mean it deserves BR increase. I also got plenty of nukes in challenger 2 oes and ztz96p, which is one of the worst tanks in their BR bracket. But that is not a reason to nerf any of them. Most of the players do mistakes in the every battle, that is why u can still perform well in the worse vehicles.

If u look at stats of the bmpt it already has not that impressive performance, especially if u get uptiered. People learn to kill it. A lot of MBTs has better or identical KD and KB, but nobody complaining that is Ariete Certezza or Leopard 2a4 (OTCo) is overpowered. Simply because they are not. Same as BMPT at 12.0-12.3 even if it gets APFSDS in the future

Type 4 Chi-To [Both Variants]
jp_type_4_chi_to
jp_type_4_chi_to_late

  • Reload Speed: 6.5 s → 6.0 s

jp_type_4_chi_to
jp_type_4_chi_to_late
Rationale:
The ammunition has a more accessible placement than in the later Panzer IV’s, so it should not have noticeably worse fire rate.

Vehicle: Tu-4 (all variants/nations)
Mode: Air RB
BR Change: 8.0 → 7.7
Reason: This thing is using a legacy BR, last changed probably 5 years ago.
It regularly faces full uptiers to 9.0, where it gets insta killed from 2-5km away by IR or SARH missiles. Its super slow, facing jets that fly 2-4x times as fast it. It should go down at least to 7.7.

The German Puma Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV) cost varies based on the contract, with recent orders averaging around €21 million per unit in 2025. Earlier, smaller batches in 2023 saw costs closer to €30 million per unit, 11.0 is fine The exact cost of the Russian BMPT “Terminator” tank support fighting vehicle is not publicly disclosed, but it is generally estimated to be in a similar range to modern Russian main battle tanks, likely costing roughly **$3–$5 million per unit shod go 12.0???

I get it. only sweats really play the LF mkIX so it skill filters other players quite hard.

also makes sense, but only if all the trainer jet spam around that BR gets moved up even more
image

yea this things already pretty trash now with the drag nerfs
image

SHOULD BE 12.0

SAV deserves to be higher. also gaijin realised they can move panzer 4s? move the long 75mms up next time, they are pretty OP
image

anyways heres my BR change proposals from last time. my opinions havent changed

Spoiler

Theese are MY PERSONAL OPINIONS you do not need to agree. if you do im happy to discuss it in a fair manner

general changes.

most things above 7.7 need to be higher by around 1+BRs for decompresion. this goes mostly for air but ground would also benefit majorly from a 15.0 BR peak

BMPT to 12.0
T58 to 9.0
Centurion AVRE to 6.7
FV4005 Centaur to 6.0
falcon to 7.7 as it has no more APDS
Chieftain mk3 to 8.3, its mobility is awful, no point it being same br as the same thing but faster
Chieftain mk5 give it its laser rangefinder, all mk5 have a TLS system
Fox back to 7.7
Turm 3 to 9.0 its too OP from a 105mm, coaxial falcon gun and godly mobility to see base centurions and similar
Hawk 200 recieve AGM 65D or moved to 10.0 for ground battles
Hawk 200 RDA given AGM 65D and moved to 10.7 for ground battles
Badger to 8.7, its useless
CRV block 2 move to 10.0, its a badger with non functional FnF missiles
AC.IV move to 5.0, it gets no APDS its not equal to challenger
Comet to 5.0 as its reload sucks and its gun is weaker than challenger
Caernarvon to 7.3 as its a heavy tank but placed at the same BR as the equally powerful mediums, its just a worse choice without artillery.
stormer AD to 9.7, its a worse LAV AD
Stormer HVM to 10.0, its a worse OSA
All soviet T-34s moved up by one BR notch, those things are baby mode to play. I quit playing USSR as it was too easy
Tiger 2 production (H) and SLA to 7.0
VK3002 and panther D to 5.7, the gun is too powerful on such platforms for 4.0-4.3 tanks to face
M53/59 to 7.0
BTR ZD to 6.7
ZSU 23 4 m2 to 7.7
ZSU 37 2 to 8.3 (RADAR SHOULDNT BE SEEING WW2 PLANES)
ZSU 23 4 to 8.7
ZSu 23 4m4 to 9.7
2s6 to 11.0
m24 chaffee to 4.3, why is a smaller faster sherman at the same BR as sherman?
XM246, Gepard, ITPSV leopard, type 87 and all other 35mm SPAAs to 9.0
PZH2000 to 8.7
VIDAR to 9.0
XM800T to 9.0
BMD4 (all variants) to 10.3
BMP3 to 10.0
ajax to 10.7
Pz 4 H&J to 4.3 as they are firefly equals with slightly worse turret traverse
Flakpanzer 341 to 7.7, its a heavy falcon now
Tiger 2 105 to 7.3
HO-RI removed from game for being fake
Ostwind 2 removed from game for being fake
Skink to 4.7, polsten 20mm are too slow velocity to combat the aircraft of 5.3-8.3 of which its forced to shoot at
ALL 4.7 USSR tanks to 5.3, they are absurdly OP

AIR:
12.3 hornet to 12.7
12.7 premium hornets get aim-9M and moved to 13.0
harrier T10 and AV8 Na gets aim 9m, 4x BOL and moved to 12.0 air (ground stays at 11.7)
harrier GR7 moved to 12.0
all harrier 2 variants to be able to carry six A2A missiles
F-5 variants all are moved by 1+ BR
Vampire to 7.3
Venom to 8.0
GR1 harrier either gets the countermeasure pod or moved to 9.0
Sea harriers moved down to 10.3 and 10.7
attacker to 6.7
mk3 meteor to 7.0
mk4 meteor to 7.3
mk8 meteors (all versions) 7.7
MIG 25 to 11.7
BI to 8.7, its a Komet but better
OTHER PEOPLES IDEAS not my opinions but from replies to this comment

MIG 29 is stuck in compression limbo please give it some QOL to give it a chance against 9m and F15
MIG-15 BIS ISH to 8.3 crazy good fighter with perfect CAS capability with its ballistic computer
SU30 (MK2 AMV, MKK) 13.7. they let even mediocre CAS players to sealclub lobbies.
Buccaneer S.2B move to 10.3 in air battles. she struggles with the spam of premium baserushers

IRL Prices are COMPLETLY irrelevant to the game. XD

what the hell is that argument

we should look at the prices for all tanks adjusted to inflation

and then 1.0 will be the cheapest vehicle and 12.7 the most expensive one

Aircraft:

J-15T

Mode:

Air RB

Proposed Change: 14.7 → 14.3

Reason:

Due to the small number of countermeasures, the survivability of the J15T is relatively poor, and its combat performance is even worse than the F15C Golden Eagle of the RB14.3. The J-15T completely lacks the capabilities of the 14.7 aircraft. Compared to the SU30SM2, the J15T can be considered wholly inferior. On the other hand, when compared with the SU30SM of the RB14.3, the two can be said to have their respective advantages and disadvantages: the J15T has a better airframe, while the SU30SM has superior missiles and more countermeasures. Therefore, the J-15T should be considered subordinate to the RB14.3.

Why the hell is the zero getting moved up again? For the love of god, 5.3 is already insanely high for it. It will be pretty much dead at 5.7

B6N2 Model 12
b62

  • Realistic Battle BR: 2.3 → 2.0

b6n2
Rationale:
The B6N2 Model 12 is a very modest improvement over the B6N2 Model 11 that does not warrant an increase of two BR steps. It does have a slightly better flight performance, but lacks the offensive 7.7 mm that allows the Model 11 to engage other aircraft when needed, so the net gain in effectiveness is small. The Model 12 is also at the same BR as the Model 12Ko, which is identical apart from more impressive defensive armament that justifies the BR.

A BR of 2.0 is more fitting, making the B6N2 Model 12 a proper stepping stone between the Model 11 at 1.7 and Model 12Ko at 2.3, and would complement Japan’s 2.0 ground RB line-up.

Since the B6N2 Model 12 has the same bomb loadout as the Model 11 at 1.7, this change shouldn’t have major implications for ground or naval players.

Vehicle: Su-24M
Mode: Air RB
BR Change: 11.3 → 11.0
Reason: for whatever reason, this is actually higher BR than the MiG-23M, while having only 4xR-60Ms (when spaded), NO tracking radar, only search radar, flies like a bus, possibly even worse than the Su-17M4. Having MAW and better RWR does not warrant higher BR. Its just really bad experience to fly it, especially when facing AIM-7F/Ms.

Kfir C.10 is good for 13.0 but not better than the Su-27 / Su-33, and certainly not equal to the Su-30MKK / J-11A / Su-30MK2 AMV.

look at the winrate which is a stat that matters much more

how is the su7 going up to 9.3 it already struggles in a up tier and even the f106 stayed at 9.0, the su7s flight model is painful and the loadout is also quite lacking in terms of what the us gets at even lower brs

Vehicle: B-29 (all variants/nations)
Mode: Air RB
BR Change: 7.0 → 6.7
Reason: Legacy BR, havent been changed in a while. Not competitive at all at its own BR, if uptieried is DoA. Barely useful at full downtier.
