Planned Battle Rating Changes (April 2026)

100% agree, this should’ve been done a while ago, there are no excuses at this point

And let me shotgun with both barrels like it’s supposed to be used.

It doesn’t shoot with both barrels irl

100 likes has to be a call for Gaijin to finally end the little black market the BI-1 has.

Not sure about that - there is somewhere a poll regarding the requested shortening of base respawn timers with more than 500 likes with zero reaction from gaijin…

Yeah, I guess that gaijin considers the deaths that come from a skill check missile (fakour) to be sufficient to wrongfully uptier this jet.

The 13.0 br range is already awful due to the 13.3 premium flankers, now having the same br as them is wild for me.

The return of A6M5 VS B29 …

No changes for SIM???

BMPTS should be 12.0 as well as Mig 25 which should be at least 11.3 if not more with both vehicles you ruined those tiers I don’t know what you were thinking.

oh great the su-7 is gonna fight even stupider missiles, rip my plan for grinding some of the tree

Technically no, they’re not, as they entered service after the war ended. So, technically they’re post-war aircrafts. Period!

Vehicle: Z-11WA
Mode: Ground Realistic Battles
BR Change: 8.7 → 8.7
Weapons change: Keep HJ-8C addition. (If necessary to stay at 8.7, removal)
Reasoning: Addition of HJ-8C does not give Z-11WA significant advantage over HJ-8A.
The HJ-8A and HJ-8C both have:

  • short range of 3.0 km,
  • slow 220 m/s max speed,
  • Explosive TNT equivalent of only 2.0 kg (25mm overpressure).

The only difference between the two is the warhead: penetration increased from 480mm (HJ-8A) to 590mm (HJ-8C), and warhead of HJ-8C is tandem. No increase to range. No increase to speed. No increase to explosive mass. At 8.7, an increase of 110mm penetration from 480mm is insignificant. Tandem warhead is also insignificant, because there are almost no tanks which use ERA at this battle rating.
The increase of BR from 8.7 to 9.0 is completely unjustified. The Z-11WA has vastly inferior missiles not only to every other helicopter at this battle rating, but even to helicopters at a lower battle rating:

Vehicle Name BR ATGM Range Penetration (mm) TNT equiv (kg) Max Speed (m/s) Missile Count Thermals Optics Zoom
Z-11WA 8.7 → 9.0 3.0 km 480 → 590 2.0 220 4 Y 20X
Mi-24A 8.7 4.0 km 650 4.32 230 4 N 10X
SA-313B 8.3 3.5 km 600 2.0 220 4 N 10X
UH-1C 8.7 3.75 km 630 2.88 296 6 N 6X

The only advantage of Z-11WA is its optics. However, unlike at higher battle ratings, the difference does not have a pronounced effect. Targets 3 to 4 km away can be found and hit easily without issue, especially because most maps are small to medium sized. The Z-11WA is great at seeing targets, but not at destroying them. The damage of the missile is extremely inconsistent, and fails to overpressure even light targets. Furthermore, the low engagement ranges put the Z-11WA in greater danger from MANPADS lock, Gepard cannon fire, and devastating threats like the M247. Unlike in previous updates, helicopters are frequently locked on by IR SAMs at their maximum ranges. This performance is already questionable at 8.7, why should it be uptiered to 9.0?

Aircraft:
Re-2005 / Re-2005 VDM

Mode:
Air RB

Proposed change:
6.0 → 5.7

Reasoning:

The reggiane was already overtiered before, after being also nerfed in its FM. It’s way slower and climbs worse than any other super prop. Its only redeeming quality is the decent turnrate, which is still nowhere near close to spitfires and zeroes.
In addition, the 20mm have long since had terrible damage, being less effective than 50 cals.

I have never had a shell shatter with the 37mm (24mm) APDS Slpprj m/49, Non-pen sure but never shell shattered

Aircraft:
G-55 / G-55S

Mode:
Air RB

Proposed change:
5.0 → 5.0

Reasoning:
These aircraft are already mediocre at 5.0, especially the tech tree G55. It doesn’t turn particularly well, doesn’t climb well and is very slow. It’s also forced to take a lot of fuel, making it needlessly heavy.
Also, the 20mm cannon are very unreliable and often deal pitiful damage compared to 50cals or to russian 20mm.

Gaijin needs to set the barrier for entry into the stadistics sample population higher.

Japanese naval line, Late Italian props and airspawn 190 As, which barely survive on scraps and third parties are going up

Good job on the Spitfire Lf Mk.IX, just also nerf the yak-3U, the spit and U were 5.7 because they kept each other in check, and clubbed everything else.

And good job on the BMPT and Sav.20

Mig-15 bis ish - 8.0 - 8.0, no change. Instead remove the balistic computer which it doesnt have irl. From OP aircraft which can do everything in ground RB to good fighter with slightly better ground attack capabilities over the standart one.
