Planned Battle Rating Changes (August 2026)

Its got best fox 2 in the game with sparrows.

You are sayjng the pay wall P sparrows beat this?
Not used them but very doubtful

Playing the A6M5, good lord, this should not be fighting jet fighters AT all.
While I am good at turning, I am a literal flying static object to everything that is boom and zooming. My heart is pounding in frustration, not enjoyment.

Cause half the stuff im fighting are 6.0, 6.3, and 6.7 and somehow 7.0s.

Results: I see them; I turn; they do not; I usually get screwed over.

This thing is 4.3 property like it was before, not 5.7. Makes you wonder if any of the WT Developers who do Battle rating changes actually play this country at its actual BR or go into custom battles and adjust as they see fit rather than how the game functions.

AIM-7P, in my opinion, way better than -7M/F variants due to IG.
The Hornets also have bigger SARH pool at the ARH/SARH BR-bracket.

For that, you sacrifice:

  1. Good flight model
  2. AESA radar
  3. AAM-3s

As for the British and American hornets:
4. Countermeasures

Against the F-2A which is just better

3 things that the Nighthawk never had.

What’s next? AIM-9Ls for the Me-262?

Nah, IRIS-T

AIM-9L for A6M5 actually since it’ll be at 11.0 soon

First is very doubtful to me. Second is limited by missile kit.
Third is not serious - that’s not the main weapon anyway. If that was possible, I would easily agree on that tradeoff. -7Ps and their number are quite equal to me for that.

When updated list

F-2A has the best flight model of 13.0

Literally nothing it fights can beat it in a dogfight (The only plane that beats it in a dogfight sits at 14.3 and 14.7)
As for air rb scenarios
Having actual energy retention is just so much better for extended missile fights or if you’re forced defensive

As if a mechanical radar is not straight up significantly worse than AESA bro

Don’t give them ideas

praying for a BR increase or decompression so that Fox 2 sparrow planes dont have to see MKKs and MK2s
Atleast if you got R27ERs you can generally just use the extreme speed and IOG+DL to bully even against Fox 3 players especially premium ones, but using 7Ms or 7Fs vs even R77s is just annoying.

Things like Phantoms or Viggens with fox 3s is whatever, the plane is in general so mid that once youre out of missiles youre somewhat out of options against gen 4s but a premium flanker with Archers and R77s at a pretty low BR to see things like F16A with 9Ls or such is just stupid

At this point, why not?

Not to mention it makes it very easy to “corkscrew” the AIM-7Ps

On a side note, I really wish Gaijin would bring “Bullet Hell” back

Just give historically available M833 rounds. Look, savage lol. I think it’s crazy that as a 10.7 with m774 going against 9.0 to 11.7 tanks that you can only side pin because of Gaijins choice of ammo.

F-2A ADTW would be so nice if we got proper decompression and the 13.0 flankers went to 13.3 like they should
Absolutely goated plane

I belive it could stay at 4.7 if they made it snap wings like it did back in the day. Its also historically correct. But right now it is a bit OP.
