Planned Battle Rating Changes (August 2026)

Vehicle: F-4F
Mode: ARB
Change: 10.7 → 11.0 (With Aim-9L)

Currently its in a spot were against 9.7 it can be very strong, making it 11.0 would change that as it could now face 10.0/12.0 while making sure it wont get slapped in a 12.0 match

Vehicle: F-16CM
Gamemode: Air Realistic
BR Change: 13.7 —> 13.7
Add AIM-120C5 like on F-16I Sufa same BR but different weapon

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.

Requested change, Mystere IIC: 8.3 > 8.0

Reasoning: Flight performance is only very slightly improved over the 8.0 Mystere IIA (which is an already quite mediocre 8.0 plane), it should not be the same BR as the 8.3 Mig-15’s and F86’s which vastly out perform it.

The 30mm Defas it has got nerfed a while back and now are almost as slow as MK108’s, the turn rate is pretty average and so is the acceleration, the top speed is also not that great when compared to many of the other 8.3’s.

Considering the F86A5/CL13 MK4/Mig15/La15 are all 8.0 there is no reason for the Mystere IIC to be a higher br than those planes hence my suggestion for it to move down to 8.0.

Please move this plane down so it can be at its proper BR and also be worth flying again since it would also no longer see the 9.3 uptiers into supersonics.

Vehicle: F-4F KWS LV
Gamemode: Air Sim
Change: 13.0 —> 13.3
Reason: The F-4F KWS LV should match the battle rating of its direct equivalent the Tornado F3 late and Mig-29SMT both of which are currently 13.3. With the introduction of a 13.3 bracket. It is time for 13.0 to begin a process of decompression and the F-4F KWS LV belongs at 13.3 and not alongside the 13.0 Fox-3 aircraft such as the Viggen DI and Sea Harrier FA2.

Vehicle: Hunter F6 (France)
Gamemode: Air Simulator
BR Change: 9.0 —> 9.3
Reason: Currently at 9.0 is the Hunter F1 in the British TT which has both a weaker engine and an inferior wing design. It is inferior to the Hunter F6 in every respect. In addition to this the Hunter F6 has 2x Aim-9Bs where the F1 has none. The F6 also has drop tanks, and can use these to dump most of its weight when entering a fight. In the Swedish TT is a Hunter F4 with 2x Aim-9B called the J34, which is currently located at 9.3 within ASB. The Hunter F6 needs a BR increase to 9.3 at the bare minimum to match the BR of the J34. The J34 then likely needs a BR reduction to 9.0

Vehicle: J34
Gamemode: Air Simulator
BR Change: 9.3 ----> 9.0
Reason: The J34 is a Hunter F4 with 2x Aim-9Bs but this just means it has a larger internal fuel storage than the Hunter F1 and gains no meaningful flight performance improvement over the Hunter f1, whilst the 9Bs are incredibly valuable to have, they don’t warrant a BR increase at this time and if needs be, the Hunter F1 can simply go down to 8.7 where it likely needs to be anyway.

Vehicle : Mirage 2000D-RMV
Mode : Air RB
Change : 12.7 → 12.3
logical step down from the M2KCs5 and is weaker than the M2KCs4 but still 12.7 is completely overtiered.
Other ways to make this plane viable:
Leave it at 12.7 but give it 2 more Magic 2
Bump it to 14.0/14.3 and give it its ahistorical loadout of Mica EM like it had on the dev server

Vehicle: Mig-23MLA, ML & MLD
Gamemode: Air Simulator
BR Change: 11.3 —> 11.7
Reason: This BR is heavily compressed currently and there is no reason for these aircraft to be 11.3 instead of 11.7, within their brackets, nothing would change in terms of balance, but there would be many 11.3 aircraft that would have room to breathe.

Vehicle: Phantom FGR2 & FG1
Gamemode: Air Simulator
BR Change: 11.3 —> 11.7
Reason: These are direct competitors to the Mig-23s, if they were to move up to 11.7, then should these 2 Phantoms. This would give much needed breathing room for other aircraft currently at 11.3 that are substantially weaker than the Phantoms.

Vehicle: F-84F (US, Germany, Israel, Italy and France)
Gamemode: Air Realistic
Change: Unify airspawn
Reason: At the moment, only the US F-84F gets airspawn, despite being identical to the versions found in the other trees, due to being Rank 6 not Rank 5, do not get airspawn. This is extremely unfair and should be rectified, whether they should all gain it or all lose it, I don’t know, but a poll is the best solution. So please vote below

  • Add Air-spawn to all F-84Fs
  • Remove Air-spawn from the US F-84F

Removal of vehicles is discraceful
