Planned Battle Rating Changes (August 2026)

Right yep, sorry, I forgot that if you cant win a turn fight, you must be a lower BR. :P

I am dead serious, i Never said bring it down to 9.3 but it should be at between 9.7-10.3 or leave it at 10.7 but at least give the damn thing m900. I mean for fucks sake the T90A is .3 Br higher than it. also the T72B (1989) with Kontact 5 all over it is below it at 10.3

being essentially unable to kill an ariete is still not winning, and there are situations where you can screw up and get forced into a duel with some things
often the pilots own fault, but of course other things do affect the game

it will go faster, but its low end acceleration is a lot worse

g91y f4d cl13 mk6 super mystere f11f
these all have enough speed to catch it if missiles are utilized

Its not loosing either…

Go away, gain speed, come back in for another hit and run.

That may explain it then, but still, I would not consider eventual top speed all that important, if over the course of a typical match, you never actually reach those kinds of speeds.

Jaguar GR1 can technically hit supersonic, but it takes so long, that I think calling it a supersonic aircraft is semi disingenious and I would instead describe it as a very high subsonic aircraft

Most, if not all of those are all slower than an Su-7.

So? Run some rocket pods on the Su-7 then, missiles defeated.

Or just… turn slightly?

None of these have missiles much stronger than 9Bs if im not mistaken

So will the Cromwell V RP3 go up in Rank as well?

it would at minimum have to be like 6.3 to 6.7

A1E1 Independent

  • Arcade Battle BR: 1.3 → 1.0

  • Realistic Battle BR: 1.3 → 1.0

  • Correct gun elevation range (Bug Report)

Rationale
The Independent is huge, thinly armored, and has a gun that would already be considered meh by 1.0 standards. It’s got a decent reload and a few Nigels to spare, but those are the the only things it has going for it.

and still, never pick up the kill because if he doesnt want to die he doesnt have to

if you are not staying close to your top speed as much as possible throughout a game in really any jet then you will have some issues

oh no its an aa20 what ever will i do
and since you love it so much most su7s will be bombing and dont leave room for rockets
assuming it does run rockets then anything except the S24 add a hefty drag penalty

One source I have mentions there was a prototype of the Ostwind with 3.7 cm Zwilling (double) mount.

lmao deeply unserious suggestion

which, given the Su-7s can just base bomb with impunity, is fine.
Su-7B out earns premiums at that BR

Not necessarily, maintaining absolute max speed is basically impossible.

Wasting speed, sure, but you’ve got turn at some point, the question isnt necessarily about max speed, but how well you can maintain that energy and regain it after its lost.

Su-7s accelerate very well iirc.

Turn?

You can kill a base with 2x Napalm, and with diminishing returns mechanics, that might be the most rewarding thing to do.

I frequently run rocket pods on aircraft that lack flares (including subsonics at 9.7) because being able to defeat a missile that would otherwise instantly kill you, is more valuable than the performance I would have gained running nothing.

The main reason why the Su-7 won’t move down in BR, even if Gaijin was fine with letting those things bully 8.0s

Yup. Even in “fast” base bombers, there isnt really anything you can do to beat an Su-7 to a base.

Slow ones… You are screwed

pretty sure it mentions a vertical mount for that tho, so this one is wrong techinally.

With the exception of last month, the Su-7BMK (also 9.3) consistently kept a top 3 stop in the average SL per spawn leaderboard
The only difference between the BMK and the B is that the BMK has two more pylons to stuff either 2 extra 250kg bombs or some extra rockets under

So, it is safe to say that the Su-7B won’t be going down in BR lol

Yup. it moved up with a good reason

Exactly, it’s unfair that this fighter has such a high BR; almost all fighters at 11.0 are better than it (or maybe all?), and F-104S have 11.3 BR… Nonsense.

What’s more, the F-104G/S lacks EEGS and IRST; reports on this were accepted two years ago, but to this day they still don’t have the full capabilities they had in reality… It’s really sad how neglected and forgotten these fighters are :(

PS: And where are those iconic extra fuel tanks on the wingtips?.. :(

Oh no, a mid tank get’s a gimmick that rarely saves it
