Planned Battle Rating Changes (August 2026)

The same applies to the A-6. There is absolutely no justification for moving it up in Battle Rating when it’s already well balanced at 10.7.

Vehicle: Rooikat Mk.1D
Gamemode: GAB, GRB, GSB

Suggestion:

  1. Reload 6.7s > 5.0s
  2. BR 8.7 > 9.0

Reason: The Rooikat has a 76 mm gun with the reload speed of a 105 mm, meaning that while having a high penetration value, the low mass of the Rooikat’s APFSDS rarely results in single-round kills.

In reality the Rooikat’s turret is very spacious on the loader’s side and the ammunition is very small in comparison to NATO 105 mm, with a ready rack of 9 rounds.

This increase in performance could justify moving Rooikat to the Badger folder (as primary vehicle?), with which it shares country of origin.

Leopard 1a5 series:
9.3 → 9.3

reasoning: under no reason should this thing be considered on par with the M60a3TTS series and the Type 74 E/Fs and when you compare the tanks in question it becomes glaringly obvious that they should remain 9.3 though I’ll break it down anyways

against M60a3TT(US)

The leopard 1a5s are faster outright and more agile outright, has both APFSDS are better on the leopard with the US m60a3 TT has the ERA that seems to catch everything with a good dice roll

against M60A3 TT (ROC, Thai)

The comparison for mobility is the same as the US one with armor being similar enough, as in you don’t want to get hit in the first place, though firepower is slightly more similar in the end as both get DM33 though to get there the leopard 1a5 has access to Dm23 which is indefinitely better than M735

against Type 74E/F

this one may be the more unique one as the type 74E/F models are faster foward than the leopard 1a5 due to a more powerful engine and lower weight, however this comes at a cost of having a noticeably worse reverse gear. Firepower wise the Leopard 1a5 is better as Dm23 is indefinitely better than M735 as mentioned before, Dm33 is slightly better than Type 93 APFSDS though not as much as the difference between it and M774. It should also be worth mentioning that the leopard 1a5 has thermals while the type 74E/Fs don’t

All howitzer vehicles (e.g. M44, M55, M109, PLZ83, 2S3, 2S19, AuF1, G6, etc.)
Stay at current BR

Howitzer vehicles do not need to be lowered further in Battle Rating. The nature of how their firepower works and plays makes it so that these vehicles will be similarly effective no matter what BR they are placed at, since they can always kill vehicles of any rank, any time, while being highly vulnerable to basically any return fire.

Lowering the BR of these vehicles is not going to “fix” them, it is only going to make tanks that rely on armor protection suffer even more.

yes

nooo it will still be trash.

Vehicles: MiG-29G, MiG-29 (9-13)
Game mode: Air Simulator Battles
Battle rating: 13.0 —> 12.7

This plane has been suffering in the simulator for so long that it’s basically of no use in the 13.0 battle rating. Considering what you’re going up against in the same BR, which have better missiles, better radars and better avionics, you are set to endure so much pain because you have neither the RWR or the radar to keep up with the enemy jets of the equal BR (It’s actually quite ridiculous that the 9-13 is considered an equal to F-2 ADTW which has better everything)

The existence of R-73s is no valid reason to put it TWO BR steps above the 9-12 MiG-29. Please move this plane to 12.7 where it actually belongs, even though it still gets almost outclassed.

It has a win rate of 52-56%, it will be fine.

yea thats gonna be more because its with chieftains and vickers viper than the vehicles capacity itself id bet

Lowk agree on most of it, but BMPT 13.3 is crazy, would be 12.7 then at most, it is in no way better than a VT4 or Merkava

What are you salty about today? I find it fine, and a low reload would make it a lot more effective.

Chieftains that overperform in mobility and underperform in sighting and armour, Vickers that is… well. Let’s say it’s certainly quite tall.

Vehicle: Shenyang F5
Gamemode: Ground Realistic
BR Change: 9.0 —> 8.7
Lack of ground weapons. There are only two bombs, and they are small yield bombs. No rockets. No CCIP/CCRR, very little gun ammo.

it was one of the most miserable to play vehicles i ever tried. the vickers is tall sure but has great gun handling, and actually does damage. I put several darts through a marders driver and they went yellow so never played the roiikat again

I believe they’re saying if you have it you get to keep it…

I believe you’re looking for the term “gopping”

Nah it’s still really strong at 3.3

You can also hear and see the TOR launching at basically any range lmao, the thing burns for like 9km. The min range is heavily influenced by the weird guidance that launches the missile round 10° off from where you are aiming.

Im pretty sure it used to be that MTTD had a worse shell, but now i checked and the ammo is same, but they probably forgot to change the br.

The BR changes are absurd. Fair enough regarding the IS tanks at 6.0 and 6.3 — that works for me and seems right — though having the Tiger II (P) them is a bit questionable. You could say they’ve breathed new life into the 6.0 and 6.3 BR.
But I genuinely don’t get why they’re raising the BR for maneuverable piston fighters. Take that Soviet Spitfire at 6.3 with its nerfed payload options (at least give it the same loadouts the Americans get). I recently bought the Yak-3 (VK-107) for a lineup 5.7(the plane is really not meant for GRB, but whatever) — and nope, they raised its BR too. In GRB, a plane with such meager ammo capacity won’t do anything against ground targets (and considering the lackluster damage output of Soviet 20mm cannons, it’s a pretty sad situation). It’s only good for shooting down planes. Yet it gets the same BR as the new Israeli Spitfire from the Battle Pass—which is obviously superior in terms of flight performance and armament. IMHO, that’s absurd. The new BRs for Japanese planes are also pretty amusing XD.
Meanwhile, they still haven’t changed the PACURA in Ground Realistic Battles LOL.
