Planned Battle Rating Changes (April 2026)

they look at the winrate mainly and then look at the vehicle itself in special cases

Ground RB

Tank:
Cheiftain MK3

BR: 8.7 > 8.3

Reasoning: very underpowered engine making it the slowest mbt at the br, a slow reload rate on a not very high penning shell, terrible survivability due to ammo placement, armour that only works if hull down.

in addition to this they could buff all the cheiftains reload times to 6.0-5.0 seconds this would include

Cheiftain MK3
Cheiftain MK5
Cheiftain MK10
Cheiftain 900

Gepard 1A2

Ground Realistic

9.7 → 10.7

Same IRCCM missiles as the Ozelot, but with radar and autocannons.

But Eagle with 4x AIM-9Ms + 4x AIM-7Ms does belong to 12.7 right?

What about Hornet with 2x 9L and 6x AIM-7Ps with datalink? is it also fine?

Anything but moving the premium Su-30’s up to 13.7…

thats why they need to decompress instead of doing whatever that is

8.3 jets are not ww2 props lmao. Any jet can easily dodge stingers as long as you dont get super slow. If you cant avoid stingers you genuinely have a skill issue.

Well if this happens then all zeros need to get their historical countermeasures :D

Let us take solace in the fact he is so unlikable by everyone that his posts will never gain traction.

Can someone for the love of God teach every American pilot to not use P-51’s for turnfighting. Spitfiire and Zero’s will eventually be fighting supersonics.

Has to be one vehicle per post.

Air realistic battles.

Vehicle: Mirage 4000.

BR change: 13.0 to 12.7.

Reason: It is currently the same BR as superior vehicles Su-27, Su-33, J-11, JAS39A.
That and F-15A is 12.7 now.

Gaijin incorrectly has those superior vehicles at 13.0 without moving worse aircraft down.
Make a decision Gaijin. Keep pushing vehicles down, or fix things by moving the superior vehicles up.

because of the upcoming sales. It wont sell alot when its balanced and not facing fox1 carriers

C13 T90 being moved up to 7.3 feels like you’ve thrown a dart into a dartboard and chose a random vehicle to move up.

In what world is a light tank that’s currently sitting at 49% winrate and 0.62 kills per spawn in need of an increase? It’s massively underperforming at 7.0 currently. What is the reasoning behind this change, other than it was selected at random.

Air RB - VB.10-02

Move from 4.7 to 4.0.

It is a copy of the VB.10C, but 0.7 higher when the only advantage it has over it is 6 M2 .50s in addition to 4 hispanos. The added firepower does not offset the large increase in weight, and therefore they should be the same BR.

A-4E Early

Ground Realistic

9.3 → 10.0

IF the SAMs get moved up, then the A-4E Early would have to move aswell as it’s one of the only balanced 9.0-10.0 CAS planes.

right, because you can event shoot back right? well simple than, give gripen a 2 rb 99s and leave it at same br.

They balance the game by silver earnt. Most important stat for £, least for gameplay

does it really? damn i gotta change my cheiftain post

Yet again. Stingers are not good missiles, and yes it should be a higher br than the ozelot due to the gun, but that would mean the ozelot going down, not the gepard going up. Please tell me you do not seriously think the gepard with stingers is as good as the tunguska.

B-52
8.7 → 7.7 ~ 8.0
The BUFF irl is capable of taking missiles to the face and flying perfectly fine, while also being at insanely high altitudes which most aircraft cant reach. This is not modelled and likely never will be in war thunder, as such, it makes the B-52 rather useless in ARB, and in ground RB its practically impossible to use against radar SPAA which can very easily destory you low altitude, or just dodge high altitude bombs
TU-95
8.3 → 7.3 ~ 7.7
Similar to the B-52 with durability and altitude issues, except it doesnt even have a decent bomb payload to compensate, the FAB-9000 is awful, and its top speed can be matched by most super props, let alone jets
