Planned Battle Rating Changes (August 2026)

whatever
you know which plane I meant

Vehicle: F-15C Golden Eagle
Gamemode: Air Realistic
BR Change: 14.3 → 14.7
Reason: Good AESA radar on a plane with solid flight performance, however this combination with access to 12 fox 3 missiles is far too excessive for 14.3. Facing 13.3 aircraft which don’t even have AESA radars, nor HMS (in some cases), nor fox 3 missile counts exceeding 6, nor the flight performance, nor countermeasure count to handle this plane. Even one of the best non premium planes at 13.3 being the F-16a MLU cannot compete against this plane, it doesn’t even have enough countermeasures to notch 12 individual fox 3 missiles, in addition to the fact that the Golden Eagle can just shoot down all 6 missiles of their opponent and still have 6 missiles left. This plane also sits at the same BR as the F-16V and F-16CM PoBIT which have half the missile count, fewer countermeasures, worse radars, and worse flight performance in all areas that matter, besides dogfights which are exceedingly rare at this BR.

F-14 IRIAF isn’t even that good man

Vehicle: VT5
Mode: Ground RB
Change: 11.7 → 11.0
Probably one of the most over BR tanks that we have in the game. I dont know why this thing should be at 11.7 while not offering anything special for that BR. Lackluster shell, mobility that is very similar to MBTs on and around its BR, no special optics or features that make it stand out apart from it being a light tank. The tank either needs to go back to 11.0 where it would be in a great place or if you dont want to change its BR it has to receive changes to make it more viable on its current BR, such as a new shell and/or improved reload

Mode: Air RB
Vehicle: B7A2 (Homare 23)
Recommendation: BR 4.0 - 4.0 (=keep your BR proposal, but modify base HP)
Reasoning:

I am one of the few pilots using the plane as base bomber as it guarantees a base kill even in full uptiers to currently 4.7 with just 8 (out of his 10) 60 kg bombs.

With your new proposal a base kill in full uptiers is simply impossible as the base HP increases significantly from 4.7 to 5.0 making the plane in its role as base bomber and for scoring mission score (grinding events) useless.

So i kindly ask you to ensure that the current small bomb bonus will be adjusted so that the 10 x 60 kg bomb are killing a base. Thanks in advance!

Regarding the usage as fighter: Most of my matches are full 4.7 uptiers anyway - and they are manageable. 5.0 brings just the I-225 with insane high-alt power as interesting “new” opponent - everything else is manageable.

Aircraft: F-16ADF
Air AB BR Change: 13.3 → 13.3
Reason: While this aircraft’s strength lies in its excellent radar, it compensates for this with lower weapon and CM capacity; therefore, the current rating of 13.3 strikes a good balance.

A6E TRAM going to 11.0 might be the most underrated change here

ah yes, increasing compression instead of decreasing it.
just what we needed…

raise the max br in ground and raise everything above in br instead of mass lowering br’s.

now it could hunt rafales

Vehicle = Leopard 1A5, 1A5 (Italy), 1A5BE, 1A5NO2
Gamemode = Ground RB
BR Change = 9.3 → 9.0
Reason = Incredibly overall versatile tanks; firepower, depression, optics, thermals. No business at 9.0.

Would it be possible to consider re-adding the Flakpanzer 341 to the tech tree? Its level of completion surpasses that of many naval vessels, and the richness and reliability of its historical documentation are far superior to its replacement, the Ostwind II.

Vehicle: M4A3E2 (76) W
Gamemode: Ground Realistic
BR Change: 6.3 → 6.0
Reason: if the T20 is getting nerfed then you got to buff something from the 6.3 lineup to balance it out because then the 6.3 lineup will be very bad I hope you take my suggestion into account thanks

Ground RB

Tortoise

6.7 → 6.3

It really isnt good, add gets consistently one shotted through the cupola, or straight up penned frontally


Alternatively, Fix the Tortoise’s armour thickness

yeee balancing based on win rate and KD is definitely an unwise decision.

airframe maybe not the best but Fakour are the best BVR missile in the game btw, speed-wise anyway.

Vehicle: Strv-103C
Mode: GRB
Change: BR 9.0 → BR 8.7
To the best of my knowledge 103C currently has the worst time-to-aim out of all 9.0 and 8.7 vehicles, between lack of stabilizer, lack of turret and horrible vertical traverse rate. Its survivability is nonexistent outside of one specific situation: perfectly head-on and perfectly hull-down (otherwise it instantly loses ammo rack through the side or transmission through the tip of the wedge).

The mobility is average for 8.7-9.0 tanks, on the slow side forward, but with good reverse. The shell is bog standard for 8.7. In terms of firepower, it is exactly the same as SK-105 (which, however, has a turret and the light tank utility kit), slightly better than O685 (but only as long as you ignore that one being able to use APHE, and that’s also a light tank) and massively worse than PTZ89 (which is what a 9.0 TD should be like). What, exactly, does 103C offer that makes it 9.0-worthy?

We’ve since added the Type 99 and 75 SPGs as tank destroyers for Japan. With the Type 99 being both the same BR and class.

There are no more direct replacements available that directly match the Ho-Ri.

Vehicle : F-16A OCU (JPN)
Mode : Air Realistic
Change : 13.7 > 13.3
Reason : Unlike F16AMs it lacks extra countermeasure pods that you can sacrifice your missiles for. It’s more akin to the F-16A ADF from the US Tree. IR HMD is too situational to be useful. Simply make no sense that it’s the same BR as the superior F-16C

Yakovlev Yak-130

Realistic ground battles: battle rating 9.3 → battle rating 10.7

Realistic air battles: battle rating 9.0 → battle rating 10.7

Arcade air battles: battle rating 9.0 → battle rating 11.0

Adding the missing R-73 air-to-air infra-red missiles and wing-tip countermeasure pods would substantially improve the airplane gameplay while using its existing weapons and increasing the battle rating to a more fairer. Yakovlev Yak-130M still distant and crucial information to compare between this improved version and the current Yak-130 still scarce and I doubt we’re seeing it anytime in the soon future to add as a new vehicle.

Except that the YS should be 9.0 with the Y, neither plane belongs at 9.3, you are right that nords are better than 9B’s without flares the Y and YS do not have the flight performance for 9.3. Even if you have insane flight performance like in the MiG-19S it still only takes one player with good missiles to focus you down and ruin your match.
