Planned Battle Rating Changes (April 2026)

I cant really think of any IRCCM missiles that low, the earliest i can really remember seeing stingers is the gepard 1a2

Also SPAA are supposed to be able to deny an entire airspace alone, so dont complain yhat you cant sp space bar and get free kills

Kfir really was the last fun jet around the BR. No fighting the radar, no fighting aesa fox 3 spam.

Makes positioning fun, like an assasin through the sky lol… and not down to luck. I cant say enough good things about the Kfir. RIP

Vehicle: F-15A, F-15J & Baz
Gamemode: Air Realistic & Air Sim
BR Change: 12.7 —> 13.0
Reason: These aircraft are substantially too strong to remain at 12.7 in their current state and cause a significant compression issue for aircraft below. If they are to remain at 12.7 then they should get a nerf of some description, perhaps the removal of Aim-9M and especially AAM-3. If they remain in their current state, at their current BR then a large number of aircraft need to move down as well.

YAK-3U 5.7->6.3

basically the best propeller driven prop in the game only beaten at high altitudes when it looses its WEP as it can out energy literally every prop in the game and can out perform some 6.7s and 6.3s

IRCCM missiles two rapid fire 30mms that also shred tanks and an amazing radar at 10.3 and free loadout vehicle

The US gets the roland which can get out ttrns by a B29 faik and the LAV doesnt get a search radar and is extremely fragile and easy to flank

I think thats all of them for now. Tornado GR4 to a lower GRB rating was also on the list, but I want to wait and see how ALARM actually interacts with GRB assuming its coming next major update. Though even then, 12.3 is probably too high

Also how many 8.3 planes have cm the irccm can counter?

The tunguska is a radar sam, not ir, so no irccm.

Def agree, nuclear thunder proved the F15 was under BRed by a long shot

Personally, I’d prefer having autocannons and SAMs, over having better SAMs.

Whichever is better, I think it’s pretty fair for them to be the same BR.

They shouldn’t be facing Sabres and Mig-15-19 at all.

Yes, and for that reason, I do not use the statcard for K/D calculation. I can only rely on manual counting.

So that’s pretty on-par with what I was getting. Getting 3 air kills per game is pretty good when only 3 spawn, and you have teammates also in SPAA.

Then move the PGZ04A. Compression is not the solution.

There’s numerous IRCCM carries at 9.3, including the Type 93, ZSU-23 4M4, and SIDAM (MISTRAL)

No they’re not. That’s the job for CAP. If SPAAs costed 400sp then sure they’d warrant being as strong as CAS, but not when they cost 70sp.

If its struggling at 13.0, move everything else up, you dont move one of the strongest 13.0s down. It was so stupid, and now you have significantly weaker aircraft just 0.3 BR lower

Gamemode: Ground RB

Vehicle: Ajax

BR: 10.3 > 10.0

Reasoning: Same battle rating as other IFV vastly superior considering this vehicle has a 40mm cannon thats quite weak against a lot of things it faces (mostly soviet mbt) while having quite poor mobility for what it is and the hands down worst thing about the vehicle is the inncaurate fixed 6X zoom sight

instead of moving the vehicle down they could add its spall liners and fix the sights to be the same as the challenger 3TD as that is the sights it uses

Thats arguably much stronger and better for the tunguska, its literally like if you smashed a york and a roland together if rolands did their job

it gave the fox3 gameplay experience without being in fox3 territory and facing all that bs, but thats exactly why it wasnt balanced.

Imaging facing this destroyer of worlds endgame in an F1C with its rwr.

They only have “run away” and “barrel roll” countermeasures

I really don’t think the Freccia should go up, do spikes really mean a VBC (PT2) should get a 1.3 BR increase over its base model?

Is the Freccia OWS 30 on the other hand okay, just because of its gun?

The gun reasoning I just don’t buy it, yes I personally prefer the 25mm, but for example we have Dardo and VCC-80/30 which is exactly the same thing at the same BR and its just up for player preference to pick the gun they want, I wouldn’t say Dardo requires higher BR because of its gun. Is it Gaijin just expecting people to GE the Squadron one?

So, the same way I don’t think Freccia really needs a higher BR just for having the 25mm. Are we really trying to say that adding spikes to a VBC (PT2) which is 9.7 really makes a vehicle 11.0? A 1.3BR difference is insane, we always joke about how big of a difference in BR vehicles like Spike Puma are compared to its base version (0.7BR) but this is just way too much lol.

yak-3 4.3-> 5.0

a obsurdly strong fighter which should never be facing 3.3s it is the most dominant fighter of 4.3 and has been for a while now out performs pretty much every 4.3 in many aspects there is no better all rounder in the br range

Tunguska is a SACLOS spaa and uses irccm to defeat ircm blocks on aircraft from disrupting it

Tbh, I think it would be perfectly fine, if they finished it. Its biggest issue is that its half finished and lacks things like Spall liners and they also really need to fix the zoom… Its really frustrating they once again added something half finished
