Planned Battle Rating Changes (April 2026)

Official News, Development Blogs and Updates
1798

Fr, especially the models at 11.7 air RB with 2 9Ls just cause the have guided bombs. Unless a Paveway has a secret SARH mode, this makes no sense.

1799

Vehicle: Cruiser Mk IV & Cruiser Mk IV (BEF) (incorrectly titled A13 Mk II & A13 Mk II 1939
Gamemode: All
Class Change: Light Tank→ Medium Tank
Reason: Cruiser tanks were the main type used for tank-on-tank combat and exploitation in British doctrine. Light tanks such as the Light Tank Mk VI and Tetrarch or armoured cars such as the Daimler, Coventry, Humber, etc were used for the reconnaissance role.

the AIM-54 is not what im worried about in a down tier its the sparrows the F14 has a bad radar but its still way better than the F4E

1801

Vehicle: Mirage 4000

Gamemode: Air RB

BR Change: 13.0 → 12.7

Reasoning: With the change of the Mirage 2000CS5 to 12.3, and the F-15A to 12.7, I belive this should absolutely move down in BR. Compared to other 13.0 vevicles such as the F-2, Su-27, and even the F-15, the Mirage 4000 lacks a competitive radar, Fox 1 missile count, or a Fox 1 missile as competetive as the R27ER, which is much more dominant. The Mirage 4000 is no longer competitive at 13.0 and faces much stronger vehicles that it doesn’t have advantages against.

What?
AAM-4 is a very solid missile.
The F-2 would completely dominate at 13.3

1803

Vehicle: B-52H
BR Change: 8.7 → 8.0 (ARB)
Reason: Yet another bomber way too high in BR. It’s getting feasted on by jet interceptor going twice its speed before it even gets close to enemy base. Flares and chaff are useful but did not nearly save it. Jets around 8.0 are a little slower but are still more than capable at catching up and killing the B-52H and it at least gives B-52H a chance to reach enemy bases.

Vehicle: Tu-95M
BR Change: 8.3 → 7.7 (ARB)
Reason: Yet another bomber way too high in BR. It’s getting feasted on by jet interceptor going twice its speed before it even gets close to enemy base. Flares and chaff are useful but did not nearly save it. Jets/super props around 7.7 are a little slower but should still be more than capable at catching up and killing the Tu-85M and it at least gives Tu-95M a chance to reach enemy bases.

Another BR Change which IS designed to f- Tornado IDS, and Mirage 2000D.

Cancel F8U-2 down to 10.0 idea.

With all this in mind, the PzH 2000 could *maybe go to 8.7 even, but at the very least, there’s enough here to help it settle into a higher BR.

Gajin needs to stop balancing CW and modern artillery systems around the archaic M107 round.

I used to think they was ok until i carried 4 120s and 4 aam4s on the same jet

Further confirmed by a video i watched a few weeks back. They were ranked fat bottom as they bleed way too much- easiest to evade by far

1808

It’s a lot of compression but again I’d rather not uptier a vehicle that’s is good at its BR to a state like the French EBR 1951 at 5.3 lol

I’d rather have a annoying strong vehicle than a useless one that’s only good in downtiers. Besides aside from a few nations most nations have vehicles that can deal with the sherman, I’m pretty sure my AB-43 can kill it frontally by hitting the breach but I think it took me like 2 shots to break the breach. Thankfully his gunner was dead but that tank also only has like 60mm pen

Pretty sure I’ve cupola killed a sherman with the AB-43

1809

Would absolutely be a worthwhile trade. The R is fine enough as a SARH for close-range work, and the R-73 would absolutely revolutionise the gameplay loop for the Mig-29 to do what it was supposed to do. Right now it plays as a BVR missile bus except the missile bus only has 2 SARH and is outperformed by the flankers (who also have R-27ER) in basically every way. Give the Fulcrum its niche!

What video

1811

Aircraft: F-4F Early
Mode: Air Realistic Battles
Reccomendation: 10.7 to 10.3
Reasoning: A flareles phantom at 10.7 where most things you have to face get counter measures, and doesnt get its sparrows. having to face things like the MiG 23 ML is crazy when you have no way of defending yourself, not to mention there is a lot of things with all aspect missiles that can just bully the F-4F Early. Basically impossible to play at its current BR and in uptiers without being super lucky, because you are seen as easy prey.

1812

you can barely intecpet a B52 with a 8.7 sabre what hope does a meteor or 262 have ?

they need to decompress 10.7-7.0 mm no compress it more

1813

Dang, I made one BR post for the F-35 and like nobody cares big rip, oh well small niche vehicles keeps losing. At least the Fronch AMX’s may stand a chance to be looked at and then ignored by the devs, (pls no snail they need changes)

1814

Vehicle: Crusader II
Gamemode: All
Class Change: Light Tank→ Medium Tank
Reason: Cruiser tanks were the main type used for tank-on-tank combat and exploitation in British doctrine. Light tanks such as the Light Tank Mk VI and Tetrarch or armoured cars such as the Daimler, Coventry, Humber, etc were used for the reconnaissance role.

S.M.79 B
sm_79_iar
sm_79_iar_italy

  • Rank: Rank II → Rank I

  • Arcade Battle BR: 2.3 → 2.0

  • Realistic Battle BR: 2.3 → 2.0

  • Move to the S.M.79 (e) folder

sm_79_iar_italy
Rationale:
The S.M.79B is arguably the worst variant of the S.M.79 family at its BR. The removal of an entire engine and the offensive 12.7 mm are noticeable downsides that offset what improvements it does feature. It also isn’t capable of carrying a torpedo like the other two S.M.79 variants at 2.3, making its usage effectively limited to ground and air battles only. Moving it down would give some reason to play it, not that bombers in general are in a very playable state anyways.

i was hoping for both bombers to avoid 9.0-9.3 interceptors (namely the mig19, f106, f104, lightning, etc.) and jets around 8.3 are fast enough to catch up to the bombers

prop bomber around 7.0 (b29) should go down to 6.0 too but i dont feel like making the suggestion post
