Planned Battle Rating Changes (April 2026)

you only get 4, and still pull isnt that good compared to R-77 or mica

it would be a great starting point to add better missiles to ARB and see their performance in game

Aircraft
Air RB
Vehicle : P-51D-5 P-51D-10 P-51D-20 P-51D-30
Suggestion : BR 4.0 → 3.3, 4.3 → 3.7, 5.0 → 4.3

Reason
Outperformed by nearly every plane at same or even lower BR, around 4.0 like 109F4 Ki-44 Yak-3 P-63 P-39, for P-51D-30 it’s 109G6 La-7 and no chance beating higher BR opponents like Yak-3U Spitfire LF MK9

Aircraft:
F-106A

Mode:
Air RB

Proposed change:
9.3 > 9.7

Reasoning:

The F-106 is the fastest plane in its BR range by far, even faster and better in every way compared to the MiG-23BN, which is a missile-less plane which has the same gimmick of being a fast BnZ-er. For this reason I propose the F-106 share the same BR as the MiG-23BN, and as the newly increased F-104C, which shares the same role albeit with better missiles and worse performance than the F-106.

  1. thats more of an issue with the high tier abrams being completely useless, not the low tier ones being OP

  2. youre completely ignoring the point im making

Holy cope. The M1A2 SEP/SEPv2 are still among the best top tier MBTs, only really behind the 2A7s/122s.

The M1A1, M1A1 HCs, M1A1 AIM and M1A2 are all stupidly strong and undertiered. They should absolutely move up.

People going negative in these tanks is a crime against humanity. I have had multiple days/sessions where I pushed a 3-5 K/D in the 12.0 Abrams tanks without any effort put in.

The VDM has worse flight performance than the LF Mk.IX.
I guess if we really must uptier one of the Re.2005, the VDM would suffer less. However it should not be uptiered. I just don’t see how that thing can break the game more than any premium LF. You’re also forced to bring 27 min of fuel

very nice

Still a point for lower detection, even if viewed as negligible.

Seldomly, less now with the mirage 2ks5 going back down. BOL remains in the GR4s favour.
I would never say no to an extra 300 flares enabling even more liberal CM series/interval usage.

eh, if I had HMS on the SLE I’d be able to maintain energy or position better. Already countless situations when rolling over and having HMS would have made a kill possible, whereas trying to get the nose on target would be/has been suicidal.

I don’t see there being much left to screw over that gaijin hasnt already done.😭

I’d have been onboard with that before, but the tornados situations going unaddressed for so long has me suggesting even more drastic drops across the board now. As long as the J7D remains 10.7 I’ll see a place for the early Tornados to be 11.0. The jaguar IS and JH7 being my basis for later IDS models dropping to 11.7

I’ll keep shooting for the stars, and hope to settle for the moon with my suggestions.

Everything loses turn fights to them, however they are so slow turn fighting them is 100% optional… unfortunately many players seem to have a compulsive urge to constantly engage in low altitude, low speed sustained turn fights with them, no mater what plane they are flying, last time I played my P-51 the only other players on my team that climbed above 1000m where the bombers…

Spoiler

Now watch all the “Bf-109 climbs waster so climbing is pointless” comments from people that don’t understand P-51s need to be fast to turn and altitude is banked speed, so you need it even if you are not the highest.

LOL, that’s not how that works, assuming the are even included in the sale, the nerfs come AFTER a bunch of people buy it.

Aircraft: F-16I Sufa
F-16D Barak II Block 40

Mode:
Air Simulator Battles

BR Change: F-16I 14.0>13.7
F-16D 13.7>13.3

Reasoning:
The F-16I Sufa has a weaker Engine than the F-16C Block 50 and Block 40 on Afterburner and due to increased weight in avionics has worse flight performance.

The F-16I Sufa cant keep up with its competition at its own BR F/A-18C MLU2 12x Missiles and 1400x countermeasures and its just not good enough to be comparable to other 14.3 Su30Sm, Eurofighter, Gripen E and 14.7 Su30sm2, Rafale, AESA Eurofighter Aircraft.

The F-16D Barak II Block 40 being at 13.7 is not comparable in flight performance to its competition F-2A, J-10A and JAS-39C Gripen Su27SM or even comparable in Air to Air capabilities.

As such Both should see a BR decrease F-16I Sufa from 14.0>13.7 and F-16D Barak II 13.7>13.3.

I’m waiting for the Thermos to be on 13.0 without any changes and still need a nerf because the bots are having trouble running armor analysis… but hey, they’re fixing the “XM” family from 8.7-9.0, right? Right? Oh no, it’s not a Russian machine, you can’t nerf it xD

They are doing that

Vehicle: F-5E (US)
Gamemode: Air Simulator Battles
BR Change: 11.3 ----> 11.0
Reason:
Currently the american F-5E sits at the same BR as the swiss F-5E meanwhile having a much worse radar with not even any IFF, giving it much lower situational awareness.

On top of that, it’s much slower and weaker in armament than most opponents it faces.

It’s terrible for ground attack since it has no ground ballistics computers, which also makes using it’s mavericks a chore since you can’t designate targets on your map and have to manually find them on the camera or point your nose at them.

The F-5E at 11.0 could fill a good gap for the NATO side in sim since Russia/China dominate that br range with the MiG-21bis and J-7D/E.

11.7 will now become the new 10.0 from the early days of the turms, which means 10.7 will be unplayable. GG Snail, “good change” xD

just a couple things

why is the Tu 4 still at 8.0 when the b29 is at 7.0 in ARB. bring the BR for both of them back down to 6.7 in ARB

then theres the B52 sitting at 8.7 and the Tu 95 at 8.3. why arent they at 7.7 for ARB these keep seeing jets that can easily reach em at the very start of the match making them un playable

YES i still cant understand the logic behind being 1 br higher

Vehicle: PUMA
Gamemode: Ground Realistc Battles
BR Change: 10.3 ----> 10.0
Reason: Just a 30mm without anything else and if they hit your turret you louse everything from electronics to ammo, also they are way better light tanks in lower br and it doesn’t make sense to be 10.3 while tanks like the bmd4 and other light tanks are 10.0-9.7

RAH-66 still with old Bs

Issue would be at that BR it would be clapped by all aspect missiles in any uptier it gets
