Planned Battle Rating Changes (August 2026)

Ground RB - AMX-30 S DCA : 8.7 > 8.3

With the removal of its APDS belt, the AMX-30 S DCA is weaker against tanks, and is (and always been) meh against planes because of it’s radar. Compared to the Gepard, the vehicle that it ressembles the most to, it is inferior in everything (the Gepard have a better radar,still have an APDS belt, a gun stabilizer, a better shaped turret making it more tricky for a critical shot meaning it’s more survivable than the AMX one, and can destroy both tanks and plane without much problem) and yet the Gepard is 8.3. The AMX-30 S DCA should also drop to 8.3 or at least see the return of its APDS belt. Another solution could be the addition of the AMX-13 DCA (same turret and gun as the AMX-30 S DCA) but on an AMX-13 chassis, at BR 8.0 or 8.3 (version both with or without a radar exist).

Hawk 200 RDA

11.3 → 11.0
No other changes

OR

11.3 → 11.3
Add missing 2 Skyflashes

THe Hawk 200 RDA isn’t particularly good, ive been spading it recently, and you are only able to get kills with Skyflashes, the 9Ls have limited effectiveness from this platform at the BR

Vehicle: Chieftain Mk 5
Gamemode: GAB, GRB, GSB

Suggestion:

  1. Chieftain Mk 5 > Chieftain Mk 5/1
  2. BR 8.7 > 9.0
  3. Gunner’s sight magnification 7x-8x > 7x-10x
  4. Replace Rangefinder with LRF

Reason: There is currently a small gap (BR 8.7 to 9.3) between the Chieftain Mk 3/5 folder and the Chieftain Mk 10/900 folder, and little functional difference between the Mk 3 and the Mk 5. Replacing the non-historical optical rangefinder with Chieftain Mk 5’s historical Laser Range Finder sight (see below source) would better differentiate these vehicles and add to the UK TT’s minimal 9.0 lineup.

Vehicle: MB-326K
Gamemode: Ground Realistic
BR Change: 7.7 → 7.3
Reason: Despite having Zuni rockets, 7.7 battle rating is unjustifiably high because at that BR it will increasingly face SPAAGs based on the Marksman turret, as well as SPAAGs equipped with the Oerlikon KDA. Unlike the L-39, it doesn’t deserve such a BR since it lacks a ballistic computer.

don’t forget reload

Vehicle: Hawk 200 RDA
Gamemode: Ground Realistic
Additiona Change: Add AGM-65Ds or Gs
Reason: At 10.7 is the Hawk 209 with both a gunpod and AGM-65Gs that make it far superior the the Hawk 200 RDAs AGM-65Bs and no guns. Heck, even the A-10A is superior at this BR with 6x AGM-65Ds.

It needs an AGM-65 buff to be worth ever using.

Vehicle : Mirage 2000D-R1
Mode : Air RB
Change : 12.3 → 12.0
Doesnt offer anything over the M2K CS4/5 if really, its worse than both of these with a weapon kit that is also worse than the one found on the Mirage F1

Separate issue.

Why is there a Tiger II going down in BR

Vehicle : J-7D
Mode : Air Realistic
Change : 10.7 > 11.0
Reason : PL-5B at 10.7 is absolutely criminal against flareless planes.

Welcome to Italy tech tree, we just have better players bro

In regards to F4D it’s an event vehicle so that’s not changing CL-13B won’t change because its a big 3 (in my opinion only second to Russia in terms of hand holding)

Vehicle: F-4F
Mode: ARB
Change: 11.0-> 11.3 (With Aim-9L)

Currently its in a spot were against 10.0 it can be very strong, making it 11.3 would change that as it could now face 10.3/12.3 while making sure it wont get slapped in a 12.3 match

Vehicle: Buccaneer S.2
Gamemode: All
Change: Add 100 Gal. No.1 Mk.1 Fire Bombs (Napalm)
Reason: The Buccaneer S.2 is a 9.3 subsonic ground attacker with extremely limited (practically none) A2A performance, but has a moderately strong defensive suite that dictates the 9.3 battle rating. My proposal rather than any form of BR Change is to add the currently missing Napalm to the Buc S.2. This change would help minimise the necessary weight the Buc needs to carry and thus increase its ability to defend against incoming threats. These were reported more than 3 years ago and are directly referenced within the pilots manual.

Vehicle: BMP-3
Gamemode: Ground Realistic
BR Change: 9.3 —> 9.7
Reason: The BMP-3 outperforms most similar vehicles at this BR considerably and belongs alongside IFVs such as the Bradley or Warrior currently located at 9.7.

not sugar coating it, huh?

Japan already got Type 75 and Type 99 SPHs so no.

keep the T20 where it is, its not the vehicles fault that good players play it, its the only enjoyable thing we still have.

Vehicle: BMD-4
Gamemode: Ground Realistic
BR Change: 9.7 —> 10.0
Reason: This is a highly capable IFV with both a capable 30mm autocanon and a 100mm cannon capable of firing Tandem charge ATGMs. This IFV is easily on-par with most if not all 10.0 or 10.3 IFVs of a similar type.

Horrible changes in my opinion:

Complete recompression of 8.0-9.0 for GRB and ARB,
Japan lost it’s only fun lineup left with CAS,
T-72B3A going DOWN ? in br,
Churchills going up (yeahhhhhhh it’s only advantage of armor is getting removed),
Pv IV reload in 5 seconds, THE SAME AS A FULLY UPGRADED ABRAMS,
some low tier JUST GOT A 2 SECONDS RELOAD,
F-104 at 9.7 in grb… wtf,
2S19M at 6.7 and 7.0… They seems to forgot the 7.5s reload on a 12kg of TNT shell,
M55 going up ? Like a 155 HE shooting M107 at 4.0 wasn’t enough, same for M55,

Mirage 2000 RMV going to 13.0
Who is going to tell them that such a bad missile in toptier as the ASM 250 is so uselss that adding 2 more is objectively going to change nothing ?

J-22M at 11.0 and Yak 130 at 9.7. at least a good news. Even tho both deserves a even higher BR.

Su-25 back at 9.7 and Su-7 at 9.0.why

Holy recompression of heli’s at 11.3 btw

Good things :
armor meta will be better for 6.0-7.7 tanks,
J-22M and Yak-130 gained .3 BR,
F-14A with 9L,
F-5’s finally going down in GRB :D
Is-2’s going a bit down, cool one :D
AuF1 going down, finally
Leo 1A5 going a bit down is nice as well.

Still waiting for a change for the T-80UD, TKX(P) and Tan-SAM-Kai.
