Planned Battle Rating Changes (August 2026)

Vehicle: Pbil m/40
Gamemode: Ground Arcade / Ground Realistic / Simulator
BR Change: 2.0 → 1.3
Reason: Its poor 8–12 mm armor provides almost no survivability, and the ammunition changes have significantly reduced its effectiveness. Compared to vehicles like the Sd.Kfz.222, which sits at 2.0 with better ammunition options, and the Chinese Sd.Kfz.222 at 1.3 with only 38 mm penetration, the Pbil m/40 lacks the firepower to justify its current BR. The AB 41 also offers similar performance with slightly less protection and sits at 1.0, making 1.3 a more appropriate BR for the Pbil m/40.

The shells are now a random event.

Would you even buy it anymore? especially now leopard is rocking same BR

What? The turrets are easily penable (IS-2) it was by far the worst 6.7 heavy

Two plane at 10.7 still don’t have countermeasures:
F4F Early(germany)
Air RB:10.7->10.3
Ground RB:10.0->9.3

F104G(China)
Air RB:10.7->10.3

yes - true. Maybe is not bad 122 gun but reload 20+ sec reduces efficiency

Vehicle: P-47N-15 and F-47N-25-RE (China)

Gamemode: Air Realistic battles

BR change: 4.7 → 5.0 with an airspawn

The P-47N is the escort variant and “ultimate variant” made with extended range for exclusive escort missions, this means performance at lower altitudes and climbrate was sacrificed for more range AND better high altitude perfomance.

Currently this means the P-47N cannot reach considerable altitudes, and this forces it to stick to lower altitudes where the extra fuel tanks and squared off wing tips affect both it’s performance and acceleration and thus leave it as a worse P-47D-25, and will barely have a presence in the entire battle
In an effort to combat this the P-47N shall recieve an “interceptor” reclassification, which would translate to a 1000m airspawn behind the main airfield and ensuring it can tap into better altitudes and be a more serious threat on the early game, however it shall come with a BR increase to avoid making the P-47D-28, P-47D-30(Italy) and P-47D-30(China) obsolete

The gun as a gun is ok, the depression and reload make it an overall bad gun

Definitely intentional because of the autoloader

However, not a single one of those SPHs should move down in BR to start with

f14 iriaf air r. battles 13.3>13.3

13.7 will only make sense with decompression all together fox3 capable aircraft. right now making it 13.7 will force me full brain rot fakour loadout instead of mixed, there is nothing you can do with its kit in uptier other than that. instead decompress top tier and leave 12.7 more room. i find disgusting that rng passive play style where you leave your teammates, this type of changes directly affects play behavior on popular event vehicles which leads 2 minutes win or lose matches.
@Smin1080p_WT

F-16 OCU 12.7 → 12.3 and the F-16A 12.3 → 12.0, having a decent flight model and no radar missiles is unplayable in it’s current form, especially in full uptiers against fox 3 spam

Vehicle: Strv 103C
Gamemode: Ground Realistic
BR Change: 9.0 back to 8.7
Reason: It was perfectly fine in 8.7 because it has the same armor as the Strv 103A just with SLAT armor that can break and very early APFSDS and plenty of vehicles at 8.7 have early APFSDS. Also getting full uptiers in the Strv 103C when it was at 8.7 was already annoying cause its armor didn’t do anything at that high of a BR because everything actually has good APFSDS but now uptiers to 9.7 are just more common and it’s just made me stop playing the vehicle because it feels unbalanced now. The Ikv 91-105 should also go down to 8.7 with the Strv 103C because they are partner vehicles that should be used together to make a line up.

i mean, things at 4.7 can pen them. but i agree they really shouldnt go down. all above ought to move up, considerably

Yellow statshark, opinion disregarded

you dont need good stats to know how stupid it is to move a f16 with magic2s to 12.3
‘‘sollotution to compression is compression’’ aahh

You not knowing how to use flares isn’t anyone else’s issue, those two planes are completely outclassed by everything at the BR due to no radar missiles. Skill ahh issue if you can’t defeat fox 2s

magic 2 is easy as frick to flare but sure ig lets compress more lets gooo

I think Nostalgistic is recommending it comes with these for the f14D(r)

You’re a real genius if you think the F-16 OCU is competitive compared to premium F-18s with Aim-7P, yak-141/mig-29 with R-27ERs, the F-15A with aim-7m. The standard for 12.7 aircraft is usable radar missiles. The OCU is obviously inferior to any 12.7 in game and laughably inferior to any 13.0, period.
