Planned Battle Rating Changes (August 2026)

Aircraft:
Su-30MKK

Mode:
Air RB

Proposed change:
13.3 > 13.7

Reasoning:

The premium Su-30MKK is arguably one of the best 13.3s in the game going on by the overall packages and definetively THE best premium aircraft in the entire game.

The ability to carry up to 6x ARHs on top of 4x IR IRRCM missiles makes this aircraft an absolute menace to the entiriety of 12.3-13.3 bracket.

While certainly it lacks engine power when compared to likes of Su-27SM and J-11B its closer in overall performance and missile capacity to them than it is to F-16ADF or JF-17 (let alone 13.0s) and as such it should see BR increase.

Mode: Ground Realistic Battles
Vehicle: JA37C
11.0 > 10.7

Reasoning:
With the JA37D now moving down, these two aircraft would sit at the same BR, despite of course not being the same. The JA37C already sits at a higher BR than many similar fighter aircraft, despite its lack of any meaningful air to ground weapons. See the F-4J / F-4S, which also only get access to dumb munitions, while being similarly effective in air to air combat, but are found at 10.7. Not to mention the handful of 10.7 aircraft that do get access to fire and forget air to ground munitions, also being a lower BR, despite the JA37Cs only advantage over these being its air to air abilities, and in some cases even this it doesn’t do a lot better.

The JA37C should be moved down to 10.7 to match these other aircraft, and the JA37Ds changed BR.

Vehicle: Ozelot
Mode: RB/SB
Change: 9.7 → 9.3
Why?
The Ozelot cant defend itself against Tanks, and has just Stinger missiles while other AAs are 9.0/9.3 but have better Mobility/better Missiles or can defend thenself against Tanks, also this would reduce the BR gap were Germany has no AA

My initial thoughts before I post my proposals for changing vehicles’ BR.

This is a very good change. I am glad to see that the previous discussion produced thoughtful insights and may have influenced this decision.

A little overkill, no?

Completely. Unnecessary. Seriously, guys??? Revert those.

100% deserved. These monsters terrorize 3.7± matches.

The ground changes are quite interesting, although some are questionable. I am curious to find out what nerfs you are planning to apply to the T20. Please don’t let them be completely ahistorical. A reload nerf is fine.

Finally, I am glad to see several coastal boats receiving BR reductions, as they deserve them. However, some boats were overlooked and should also receive BR adjustments, such as the USS Tucumcari, which needs a BR reduction just like the USS Flagstaff.

Aircraft:
Su-30MK2

Mode:
Air RB

Proposed change:
13.3 > 13.7

Reasoning:

The premium Su-30MK2 is arguably one of the best 13.3s in the game going on by the overall packages and definetively THE best premium aircraft in the entire game.

The ability to carry up to 6x R-77s on top of 4x IR IRRCM missiles makes this aircraft an absolute menace to the entiriety of 12.3-13.3 bracket.

While certainly it lacks engine power when compared to likes of Su-27SM and J-11B its closer in overall performance and missile capacity to them than it is to F-16ADF or JF-17 (let alone 13.0s) and as such it should see BR increase similiarly to MKK…

5.7 → 5.3

This is utterly ridiculous. Already far too high at 5.7. The guns also do measly damage.

The vehicles wont be changed. Those that own them before the change will keep them. The same as the Panther II and King Tiger 105 removal.

So… Absolutely no Air Sim changes again…

Basically no ARB changes

No high BR ground changes

Why do you even bother?

Proposed change of G-91Y: 9.0 > 9.3 should not happen.

It is inferior in general peformance to Cl-13B and outright worse than the F4D, this plane is fine at 9.0 and does not need to be uptiered into stuff like the Mig-21SMT/MF, J35XS, F-8E, who all have far superior flight performance and missiles, it should also not have to face stuff like the A-10 and Su-25 with all aspect missiles.

It also makes no sense why this plane should be the same BR as the Ariete, Mig19S/Mig19PT/F-106/F101 and many other 9.3’s that simply blow it out of the water performance wise.

Requested change: Leave the G.91Y at 9.0, it does not need to be uptiered to fight planes that it has very little to no counterplay against.

Ground RB

Churchill I

3.3 → 3.0

It does not provide a significant upgrade over the B1 Ter but should remain slightly higher due to the better main gun

Zero meaningful AIR RB changes, great.

Aim-9L’s on the F-14A is the only interesting thing.

No decompression whatsoever.

Beautiful.

A6M6c being the worst of the zeros and still getting uptiered will always be funny to me

China and the USA F-5E neither have ballistic computers nor path storage. Isn’t it unreasonable to use 2 AIM-9P and 4 AGM-65B in 11.3?

Insanity.

Su-30MKV and MKK STILL not going up?
It’s blatant enough at this point that you, the devs, are handholding those vehicles while throwing the balance completely out of the window.
Thank you, really.
What are your statistics and are they in the room with us right now?

We’ve been speaking about the removal of the Ho-Ri being within our general considerations for at least 2 years at this stage. Along with the advanced notice now (giving people plenty of chance to obtain them), there is no “FOMO” here.

Its something many players have requested we address.

Air RB
Venom FB.4

8.7 → 8.3

While a good plane, it is no match for a Lim-5 of F-86F-2, its equivalents are 8.0 or 8.3

Getting an IIR AIM-9J would be pretty nice instead of just a generic AIM-9L copy paste… (Fater air to air missile)

BRs should be in control of experienced players. These never ending BR changes every few months and moving vehicles up and down again and again is just ridiculous. You have no idea how to balance this game, your data about vehicles´ performace are wrong and its time proven fact.
