Planned Battle Rating Changes (April 2026)

Also as for the Elde range it’s useless on jets within 2km, the missile tends to fly away or track flares too easily or the radar just can’t see them given it’s terrible angle. At 5-6km it loses to much speed since it double lofts making it worthless. It is good at killing recon micros but that’s basically it. It’s missiles are so slow if you wait 20 seconds for a strike drone after the Elde has fired and then shoot any other sam you’ll hit it before the Elde does.

A SAAB just ruined my first nuke why that thing have IR missiles at such a low BR

Just wait until you learn the German seahawk has 4 at 8.3 lol

no radar too, which means the 9Ms are useless as any flare in sight it blocks the 9M from even being launched

Bo-105 pah1 should go to 9.0 and keep the pah1a1 at 9.3

That really sucks but hey, at least it’s still better than the python 5

I don’t find It on the TT

Yeah but using it for like 6 months and doing nothing but killing recon micros is a pain, oh well I just don’t play top tier ground anyways, CV90s are unplayable against the BMPT (I play 10.7 because I hate myself but someone’s gotta play the MK.IV)

I wonder if we’ll see David’s sling for Israel or some other SPAA eventually. I doubt u nerfed Spyder is gonna happen anytime soon.

Mode: Realistic Air & Realistic Ground

Plane(s): Me-262A-1a, Me-262A-1a/Jabo, Me-262A-2a, Me-262A-1a/U1, Me-262A-1/U4 (as they are all pretty damn similar other than guns)

Proposed Change: Move all to 6.7 in all game modes.

Justification: All non-rocket-boosted Me-262s have by far and above the worst acceleration of all early jets in the 7.0 bracket, and as such they just get clobbered over and over and over again until players manage to either spade them or grind beyond them to something better. Not only is their acceleration terrible, but also they are bricks, so it’s hard to get sufficient firing solutions on most opponents. Furthermore, their guns are horribly low-velocity, making hitting outside spitting distance almost impossible. These are not competent planes even in headon passes.

The reductions in Ground are also because of the repeated neutering to MK103 over the years. APCR is now functionally worthless with “Shell Shattered,” low postpen when they don’t shatter, pen reduced from 95mm to 77mm, and incendiary potential nerfed 16-fold all the way back in May 2016. Give the Squadron 262 a break and stop punishing it for the occasion its guns still work.

Premium vehicle that’s shows up for holidays, it’s also a better dogfighter than the SAAB which has one of the weakest flight models and guns at the BR.

It have the dumb OP bomb computer like the SAAB?

Honestly, it needs the right countermeasure setup more than the FM
supposed to have 120, not 60

Mode: Realistic Air and Realistic Ground:

Plane(s): R2Y2 V1, R2Y2 V2, and R2Y2 V3 (as they are very similar planes)

Proposed Change: Set their BRs to 6.7, 7.0, and 7.3, respectively.

Justification: Years ago they had borderline railgun armaments and a 4000m airspawn energy advantage over everything else. Now, they have at best decent maneuverability, only accelerate better than the 262A models in the case of the V2 & V3, still have the funny optional bomb, but lack the speed to catch anything not in an extended turnfight. These always were early-jet-grade planes artificially inflated by the airspawns. It is thus overdue to lower them to exactly where they belong. Enough already.

Sorry 2 9Bs

Also no, Saab is a strike fighter/trainer jet, in exchange for a targeting computer you have one of the worst flight models with terrible guns.

Up to you if you thing you want guns like these (btw 30mm with air belts)

Resume

Also no internal gun, so you have to carry everything on the wings which nukes your flight performance even more.

8.7 is as high as it should go as it’s flight performance limits it too much and far stronger opponents sit.

I just black listed the guy Who killed me he is a LV100 with 160 kills on the SAAB only 67 deaths

Kinda mediocre KD for a meh vehicle.

That’s also kinda petty, now if it was like my in my KV-220 on Russia with like 4.0 KD then yeah I could get it but that’s kinda mid lol, guy has barely done anything lol

Also I’d love for this thing to get a better shell and go to like 6.3 or get like a .5 sec reload increase since it’s only 135mm own but its still solid

Yep that would be very nice!

The Me262A-2a is already 6.7 in ground and air. I don’t think anyone thinks it is too powerful at that BR at all.

The Me262A-1a Jabo is basically the same except that it has an extra pair of MK108s, which is not a significant advantage in GRB. It has access to the same bombs as the A-2a. The Me262A-1a Schwalbe doesn’t have the bombs but is otherwise the same as the Jabo. I see no reason either should be a higher BR than the A-2a in ground specifically.
This is especially true when you consider that 6.7 Germany is a popular lineup BR, and 7.0 is practically non-existent unless you count removed vehicles. Germany does not have a 6.7 fighter, and its only strike aircraft at that BR is the 50mm cannon Me262A-1a/U4. The Jabo can fill both roles and the Schwalbe can fill only the fighter role.
I was really pleased when the Kugelblitz got moved down to 6.7, because it was hardly played without a good lineup to play it with. I see it a lot more and have it in my 6.7 lineup myself now. The Me262s should get the same treatment even if only to see them actually used more in GRB.

I’m not sure about the Me262A-1a/U1. I’m certainly open to it going to 6.7 and don’t think it would be a problem. Certainly I doubt it would be any more effective at CAS than the Me262A-1a/U4.
