Planned Battle Rating Changes (August 2026)

It’s unfortunate, but par for course development wise.
Once you drop something in game, other than changing hard stats, all you can go on is player performance. Which, while I disagree with somewhat, does at least provide some mind bogling consistency.

Player do good: Thing go up.
Player do bad: Thing go down.
Everything equal (for the most part): Leave and do not touch.

I do wish that vehicle capability was factored in more, but over the years I’ve also learned that the average player experience is sometimes lost on us. I know it’s lost on me sometimes.

Su30 at 5.7 or the Zero at 13.3

I always think that I am a bad player, especially in GRB, but it’s always surprising to see how bad players can actually be.

I really want to see the game become more balanced, but all we can do is complain and hope that more people will start asking for BR decompression.

Until then, I guess I should join the rest and exploit under-BR’d vehicles more. Sadly the vehicles that I enjoy playing never end up having their BRs lowered… RiP Churchill Crocodile :(

Remember that the average player base has around a 0.6 kill per spawn 🔥🔥

I mean, for every player with a K/D above 1.0, there has to be at least one with a K/D below 1.0

But yeah, I tend to forget that around 0.6 isn’t “bad”, even if it feels like it

Watching people like Spookston and Dollar doesn’t help I suppose lol

Su-7B 9.3 → 9.0 (air rb)

3534

Care to explain why?

3535

The only reason its not 9.7 is because it doesnt have A2A missiles.

Its one of the fastest aircraft at 9.3 if im not mistaken and got moved up to 9.3 in the first place because of how much of a menace it was vs 8.0s.

With Napalm, CCIP and its speed, its easily the strongest base bomber at 9.3

bombing is irrelevant it should be 9.0

3537

No CCIP but I agree it was taking all the bases from the 8.0

3538

Bombing is irrelevant in a strike aircraft???

Okay… wierd take for a ground attacker…

But then why should be it be a lower BR than the F-104A?

Its still one of the fastest aircraft at 9.3, with a decent FM.

If it had 0 guns, maybe, but it does actually have guns

It is the fastest aircraft up until 10.0 I believe

Vehicle: F2H-2
Gamemode: Air Arcade
BR Change: 7.3 —> 7.7
Reason: This plane is too good to be 7.3. It has very fast acceleration and regularly outspeeds the F-84 (while it is not flying in a completely straight line due to terrible acceleration).

Ah woops, it has rocket and gun CCIP, misread the wiki

3543

yeah? its a fighter anyway. just because it has bombs doesnt mean you need to use them

besides its not even close to the fastest 9.3 at any meaningful altitude
ranking goes like F-106 > F-104 > J35A > MiG-21 where the F-106 is like 25% faster than an su7 at low altitudes

3544

The Su-7B series is a fighter-bomber, so a strike aircraft

3545

Why should a supersonic fighter bomber (that many supersonic fighters at 9.3 struggle to catch) be below 9.3?

Actually it has ECM (you can even see its sensors on the model, two round things below the tail part of the fuselage), it just doesn’t function in WT.
