Planned Battle Rating Changes (April 2026)

Having better long range isn’t especially useful. Bear in mind, all you need to do to defeat an F90 is just turn around for a few seconds. The only players dying to F90s are squadron and prem noobs.

There is no way this is anything but ragebait at this point. At its br, most aircraft dont even have flares so the IRCCM is irrelevant. The missile does not pull hard, so it is trivially easy to dodge. It would be just as easy to dodge if it didnt have irccm. The missile’s performance isnt that great, so it gets put at a lower BR. Decompression would help, but stingers are not overpowered at 9.3 as it currently stands. Its just like early flareless planes fighting aim9bs. They cannot flare the missile, but it is easily dodged, so the missile can go at a lower BR to be competetive.

What the hell is this??

Out of all of these, the A7M2 is the only one that maybe deserved the uptier. And that’s a tough sell due to the relatively poor climb and very bad roll rate. The rest should go down not up, they’re already bad enough where they are.

And amidst all of this: the Yak-3U did not go up.

But the main thing is to balance the bmpt, t58, su30mkk, and mk2 as soon as possible.
Because there are 21 days left until victory day, consequently the sale that occurs in the week of victory day…
If these premium vehicles aren’t fixed before victory day, these package sales are going to be a real apocalypse.

Spitfire LF Mk IX (family) to 6.3

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

It should not be facing flareless planes to begin with.

No mentions for the B52 and Tu95, did Gaijina lready forget about them?

BMPT:
11.7 → 12.3

Way too survivable against kinetic rounds, especially with the amount of exterior fuel tanks eating the darts, it shouldnt be able to fight a stock 10.7 vehicle that only gets heat as its stock round, and many 10.7 darts are very weak against the bmpt unless they get a very good sideshot, plus having 5 crew means even if you get the commander and gunner, the bmpt can still kill you

BMPT-72:
11.7 → 12.0

Same thing as bmpt, however much less survivable because of the limited crew

Your logic sucks, but I agree. The Mk IXs are absolute BS at 4.7 and 5.7

then fire at like 5-10km. Thats really hard to defeat an F-90 at those kinds of ranges, especially if you pick your targets well. I.e, someone busy doing something else, like dogfighting or defending against something else

dont try and fly the F-14A IRIAF in WVR (like Sub 5km) but you also dont need to stay 30km away from the target. If I could ever be bothered to spade it, I would BnZ firing at targets about 10km away.

Suggestion

Vehicle: Kfir C.7

Mode: Air Realistic Battles

BR: 12.0 → 11.7

Reasoning: The aircraft’s performance is vastly the same as the Kfir Canard and it is barely an advantage at 12.0. It only has 36 countermeasures and 4 IR missiles that, while good, easily go for countermeasures. Many planes at this battle rating have either great radar missiles or even IRCCM missiles. The Kfir’s performance is not up to par with them.

You must not be very good at the bmpt then, because the bmpt is extremely good lmao

It was stated during several previous BR changes in a row, just because it wasnt explicitly stated now doesnt mean such megaposts are now allowed nor prefered.

What is wrong with my logic?
If noticeably WORSE plane goes to 6.3, then a better plane should absolutely go to equal or higher BR.

It does not matter that they do not have flares. There are IR sams without IRCCM at only a slightly lower br despite being much more lethal to those same flareless jets since they turn much harder. The IRCCM does not help its performance AT ALL in a downtier. The IRCCM only helps it perform slightly better in an uptier. Stingers are one of the easiest missiles to dodge in game, so they do not get put at a higher br.

I wish they would remove this for threads like this.

All I am saying is that the BMPT is overrated and people have no clue on what are its weakspots.
Beside, it’s only good as a flanker

yea range isnt the only thing Fakour has. Speed and high explosive mass just doesnt care about your multipath, its ridiculous. F14 IRAF has been dominating 13.0 since forever.

yea turning around is all you need to do to defeat all fox3 missile, not a valid point. Actually, turning around might not even save you because Fakour 90 is so damn fast (fastest fox3 in the game by the way)

One minor nation plane going up should not determine the balance of others.

Oh, thanks for reminding me.

Just need suggestion tag and upvotes/downvotes for posts with such tags. Pretty easy to implement especially for gaijin
