Planned Battle Rating Changes (April 2026)

(1) FOX-3 TIER LIST REVISITED! LONG & SHORT RANGE! With NEW additions WHICH is the best? - War Thunder - YouTube

I knew something was wrong with them before watching this as spamming f15jm enough it becomes obvious they are alot weaker

barely did you forget if there 8.0 theyd face 7.0 that barely do 500MPH ?

the B52 does mach numbers some 7.3s barely even get that fast it will be at 40K feet and out run them theres nothing a 7.0-7.7 can do

Hawk H-75A-2

  • Rank: Rank II → Rank I

  • Arcade Battle BR: 2.7 → 1.7

  • Realistic Battle BR: 2.7 → 2.0

h-75a-2_finland
Rationale:
This seems to be a case where a vehicle is only at an unfitting BR purely because it’s so rare the developers genuinely forgot about it. For whatever reason, it’s placed at significantly higher in BR than H-75A-4 despite being the exact same thing with a worse engine. It should fall between the two French tree H-75 variants since it is, in the purest sense, an intermediate of the A-1 and A-4.

I’m sorry, you’re naming MatAWG?!?

This person is absolutely not to be trusted with anything regarding a vehicle’s or missile’s performance

didn’t he rate the AIM-120C as one of the best missiles in the game?

Well it may not really affect how it plays but it would change how easy it can kill enemies.

Hell no out of spite this thing can rot

Vehicle: Valentine I
Gamemode: All
BR change: 2.7 → 2.3
Rank change: Rank II → Rank I
Class Change: Medium Tank→ Heavy Tank
Reason: Infantry tanks were used for the breakthrough role in support of infantry attacks in British doctrine, and do not feature the mobility required to perform as a medium tank.

  1. In recognition of the loss of Artillery Support and the vulnerability of the 3-man crew in the Valentine series, the BR should be reduced.
  2. In order to accommodate the Valentine I in the Rank I section, the Stuart I and Stuart III should be foldered.

Not saying he is but its pretty obvious when using the 120s and aam4 in the same jet which is better. I already run 8 120s way before i watched it

Now move the F-14B to 12.7 and the F-14A to 12.3 so they’re playable again

Yes he did, and he even once said the F-15C GE was meta with the 8 missile kit.

And you can say that it’s usable, for sure. But from that to being meta there’s a whole wide gap.

Seriously I could care less, it can go to 14.0

AAM-4s are better than AIM-120s for most air RB scenarios, the better pull is absolutely beneficial to have.
Sure, they have worse range, but range isn’t what makes a missile good. if that were the case the MICA wouldn’t be the best Fox-3 in the game

Vehicle: Valentine XI
Gamemode: All
Class Change: Medium Tank→ Heavy Tank
Reason: Infantry tanks were used for the breakthrough role in support of infantry attacks in British doctrine, and do not feature the mobility required to perform as a medium tank.

This vehicle should receive its historical M61 APCBCHE ammunition in order to compensate for its loss of Artillery Support due to the class change.

Only with a small reload nerf (2.8 s → 3.1 s) and maybe the removal of some of the better performing ammunition Gajin tacked onto every 2-pdr vehicle regardless of service period.

the base model re2005 could go DOWN in br lol and yet they are moving it UP!? Yikes these br changes are borderline satire.

The only thing I’m going to say (and I know it doesn’t help the thread that much) is that ARB/ASB BRs need urgent decompression from 11.7 up to 13.7, and that obviously requires 15.0 to arrive.

The F-15A/J/Baz is no match for the premium Su-30s and the rest of HMS+fox-3 slingers, but when it’s a downtier, the plane’s kit is already far too strong with 4 9Ms, even without HMS.

I hope Gaijin acknowledges once they milk the Su-30s in may or within the next big sale, the fox-3 environment with both compression and the mcm meta has become increasingly unenjoyable even with good or meta jets.

That’s a good point, I’m only really covering my desire for a class change at this point.

Fair enough. Sadly, these occasional BR threads aren’t the best way of proposing reconfiguring the entire first two British TT ranks to account for ammunition progression and such. That might be better saved for its own thread elsewhere.

T77E1 Rank 2 → Rank 3.

It makes no sense as to why this is rank 2 while its at BR 4.0, Other nations get rank 3 AA’s at 4.0 and as low as 3.3 which are able to participate in medium daily tasks and events.

All of these are a lower BR while being a higher rank:
Ostwind - BR 3.3.
Wirbelwind - BR 3.7.
L-62 ANTI II - 3.3.
M42 Contraereo - 3.3

And at 4.0 there is also the M19, M42, Crusader AA MK 2, Ystervark, And BTR-152D which are also all rank 3.

It should be changed to rank 3 to match the other AA’s of 4.0.
