Planned Battle Rating Changes (April 2026)

no. if anything su-22M4 should get kh-29TE . and also adding the IR version of the Kh-25, which would give the M4 6 FnF missiles. as also most other soviet planes could also get it instead of just 2 kh-29,s

it has a slightly better engine but it is heavier as well containing smoke grenades which the m48a1s lack

It’s blazer, it’s only going to stop HEAT and HE rounds unless the star align and gaijin says fuck that sabot

And what exactly is better than it at 11.7?

It’s a better IPM1 which is already better than every other 11.7 tank I can think of including the Type 90.

Only prototypes of Kh-25MTP were made, and from the fact we haven’t gotten it already after years, I heavily doubt we’ll see it.

Plus Su-17M4 is suffering from the fact of BR compression, not lack of weaponry imo.

Also MTP “shockingly” isn’t mentioned in Su-17M4’s weaponry chart

The Abrams is A LOT better than the T-80’s, the 2A4M, MBT-2K etc. You’re genuinely out of your mind to suggest it isn’t. Have you actually played the tank? You get an amazing gun, great mobility, great driving model, good enough and fairly trolly survivability with sideskirts that are strong against APDS. The only tank in the entire game that may be better than the M1A2 is the Leopard 2A7V/Strv 122.

Also TKX (P) lol. Please, tell me how that thing is even comparable to the Abrams when it’s a straight downgrade over the Type 90 at a higher BR.

If anything, the 11.7 M1A1 is BETTER than all of the 12.7 Leclercs but the average player is not ready to have that conversation yet.

they are real enough

So? Just because it’s real doesn’t mean it’ll come.

didnt say they were, besides they will eat good when anti rad missiles gets added

it should be 12.7 with just the APDS belts

Saying gaijin doesn’t limit ARMs to a specific BR or some other means of controlling where they go, perhaps.

true true

Bls Buff the KF-41

Have you ever actually played the 12.7 Abrams, or are you just assuming things because you got killed by one? The only real upgrade you get at 12.0 is better thermals. Calling its “good enough survivability” a joke is an understatement. It has one huge weak spot — the turret ring — and anything that hits( fun fact bmpt can this too) it disables you for 30+ seconds while you repair.

The issue is not the 12.7 one being 12.7, it’s the 12.0 one being 12.0

The 12.0 Abrams is literally better than a large portion of 12.7 tanks.

I’m not complaining because I die to them, I play the Abrams

…So does every other tank like ever? I’ve never had any complaints about survivability in the IPM1 even while fighting hordes of BMPT’s. If anything, your side is immune to them for a few seconds due to the sideskirts which saved me loads.

More importantly, why would you rely on armour in any tank? The Abrams has strong turret cheeks which is all you really need armour wise. The fuel tanks give the hull trolly survivability as well so it can punish poorly placed shots. This tank has exceptional gun handling, the best gun angles, second best shell and arguably the best mobility at top tier. You’re doing something terribly wrong if you’re struggling with any Abrams. Please tell me how in any universe combining best in class mobility with best in class firepower and decent survivability results in a tank that is worthy of 12.0

Su-27 and J-11 ASB from 13.3 to 13.0.
Terrible radar, no proper RWR, painful stock grind — this is trash.
I didn’t include the Su-33 here because it has a decent RWR, a better stock setup, and carries 8 R-27s instead of 6.
Also, at BR 13.3 there’s the Su-30, which will simply be better.

Swedish F-5A (ASB) from 11.0 to 11.3–11.7.
Two AIM-9L missiles is too strong, especially considering that the closest equivalent, the Japanese F-5C, sits at 11.7.
Meanwhile, at 11.3 there’s the F-5E, which is worse than the Swedish F-5A in almost every way

R3 T106 FA at 8.0 → 7.7/7.3.
Honestly, it’s trash that has to fight stabilized vehicles, proper shells, laser rangefinders, and ERA.
Yes, people will say: “Just use its speed,” but at this BR range there are vehicles like the Fox, XM800T, and RCV, which are far better — not only in speed but also in firepower.
Also, comparable vehicles like the WZ141-1, which is also quite fast, sit at 6.7 and perform much better thanks to tracks instead of wheels.

this BR change is somehow even worse than the last one.

F-15s to 12.7? insanely yucky but, okay i guess.

M2KCS5 to 12.3? what???
kfir C.10 to 13.3?? the hell?
F-8C to 10.0? again? didn’t you see what happened the last time it was that low?
alphajets to 9.0 isn’t exactly necessary either, they’re not that cracked up

gaijin would rather screw up every aircraft’s battlerating from 12.0 to 14.0 than balance their premiums accordingly lol

MAW doesn’t do much for you if you play the game properly, and AIM-120Cs are too garbage to warrant a higher BR on their own
