Planned Battle Rating Changes (April 2026)

Ground RB / SB
Tiger II Sla. 16

Proposed change:
Engine power 680hp @3000rpm → 750hp @2000rpm
Top speed 47 kph → 42 kph

The engine nerf to the Tiger Sla 16 was based on a misinterpretation of a bug report, it should be reverted to the previous engine power and transmission:

There is nothing wrong with a TWS HDN radar, just needs to be used right. Ive had no issue with either the F3’s or the few matches ive played in the F-14A IRIAF getting the radar to work.

and tbh, dont get too close in it, if its an issue.

They kill Yaks

one post per vehicle

I genuinely dont get how you are having so much trouble getting what I am saying. I literally cannot make it any clearer. It does not matter that it was built in the 1980s, with 1980s tech and 1980s standards. It does not perform like, say, an aim9m thats also from the 1980s. So they put it at a lower BR. That is how they balance it. The performance. Not any kind of date. So I will say again. If the date its technology from mattered, than the concept 3 would be 6 whole brs higher, since it has the same technology level as the tanks at 10.7. But it would not perform well at 10.7. So it is not at 10.7. They put it at a br where it performs well.

Can we give the F-14B its AIM-9Ms as well, please??

Allow the BMPT to fire both guns, give it APFSDS and but it back to 10.3 where it belongs.
It’s a trash vehicle that shows how much other players cannot aim, it can be 1 shot at the front easily, it’s not that great.

Everyone keeps saying this, but where is that rule stated? I’ll remake my post as 20 smaller posts if that’s what gaijin wants, but I don’t see where they say this.

The f104c can even use rocket pods has flare replacements

And still bring 4 aim9b
So you have rwr and flares while the f104A has two aim9b and nothing else under no circumstances should they share br

Scroll down a bit, I didn’t get to triple-post ^_^

Vehicle: Every single aircraft
Change: Decompress all BRs
Reason: Balance is impossible to achieve at 90% (if not more like 99%) of BRs because the compression is so bad it forces vehicles into being placed more often than not at BRs which are simply “the least worse” but still terrible. More than a few are shoe-horned into totally inappopriate BRs purely because of a loadout reason, like the Buc S2B at 10.7 just because it has 9Ls

This BR change has only highlighted this issue even more. The Mriage 2000C-S5 is moving down to 12.3 likely because its totally outclassed by the F-15s, but that is the same BR as the Tornado GR4/SLE which are waaaay weaker than the Mirage 2000C-S5. If the Su-30 premiums moved up, and then 13.0 could be decompressed and then the F-15s could return to 13.0, then the Mirage wouldnt need to necessarily change.

So please, stop these largely pointless BR changes which dont really do anything and actually decompress Air properly, The max BR needs to be around 18.0 for a half decent start to a full decompression

when did this happen?
i dont remember the fm being nerfed recently

You’re the one having trouble. IRCCM has no place at 8.3-8.7, plain and simple.

Ragebait used to be believable

who cares about close range shots? F14 IRAF players just climb and dump all missile and turn back, if you launch at close range then ur using it wrong. “what about this one thing it cant do” bro u serious?

Realistically speaking. 13.0 in ASB, without a proper RWR, wont really work very well, I disagree with the change whole together, cus the tomcat will get brutually beaten every other round.

I believe that the BMPT should be moved to at least 12.3, moving it from 11.3 to 11.7 has no effect for vehicles that have been constantly matched against Russia in 10.3-10.7, and 12.3-12.7

If the BMPT moves to 12.3 at least, this means that it will only be matched against 12.3-12.7, and 11.3-11.7 instead of 10.3-10.7

Plus, it seems like BMPT players fare decently even when they were uptiered to 12.7 when it used to be 11.3, no?

I play the BMPT and get 1 shotted, it’s not that hard to kill it, it has a huge weakspot to the front that’s 1/3 of its height. The cannon can get MGed and blow up. It can barely kill a tank in an headon.

Yak-3U to 6.3

Because if Re.2005 Serie 0 goes to 6.3, this thing, which is better armed, faster and better climbing surely deserves at least same BR.
