Planned Battle Rating Changes (August 2026)

you dont need to blow the thing out of proportion


2.0 K/D is still very strong, its a strong vehicle but i dont think it ought to be over 5.0

I don’t think other German tanks getting reload buffs is going to notably effect the Hetzer’s performance. In an actual engagement, with any non-German tanks, nothing has changed.

Maybe something a bit less harsh, around 6.5~6.9 sec like the T-34’s, would be an acceptable nerf.

5.0 is too low as it will still face 4.0s.

These battles were all played at 5.3. Excuse the excessive Japan, the announcement of the Ho-Ri being removed has temporarily made Japan a major nation.

Oh no a Merkava mk2 shiver me timbers

really cant use current matchmaker as the baseline as japan was allergic to making good tanks (hence why they cope with fake TDs like the HO-RI)

ive never seen a 38t be a real threat tbh. doesnt take much to dispose of them

Surely they are working hard on coming up with better changes that don’t create more compression

This one

LAV-AD is nearly double the speed of the machbet, has a stabilized 25mm over the non-stabilized 20mm, more penetration, Rocket pod or a secondary stinger launcher.

The M103 has HEAT-FS

Also, how is that one relevant for the T26/T29?

Bruh

How can you even think this.

The only logiical answer to moving the t26 to 7.0 is to sell more t29 premiums.

Make everything people have fun with mid

Doesn’t really effect its SPAA performance.

Neither should be facing early post-war jets.

  1. that was a joke
  2. the world doesn’t revolve around the T26

does actually as you can reposition to avoid CAS youre currently unable to combat or reposition to be SHORAD for the frontline.

Game revolves around premiums while the vics arround them suffer is whats at play

Su-7B 9.3 → 9.0, air realistic

Vehicle: Daimler Mk II
Gamemode: GAB, GRB, GSB

Suggestion:

  1. BR 1.3 > 2.7
  2. Rank I > Rank II
  3. Add Scouting
  4. Add reversible gearbox
  5. Add multi-barrel smoke grenade dischargers
  6. Update the internal model

Reason: Daimler was one of the primary recce cars of the British Army from 1941 to the mid-1960s, and is is done a considerable disservice by being portrayed just as a Rank I light tank.

where are my smokes, Summer?

When compared to the SdKfz 234/2 Puma, the humble Daimler has a lot of similarities;

  • Both vehicles are equipped with a reversible gearbox, allowing full-speed travel in both directions.
  • Both vehicles were equipped with multi-barrel smoke grenade dischargers, with Daimler receiving them post-WW2.
  • Both vehicles are equipped with a small-calibre, high-velocity gun. Puma has an advantage in penetration, while Daimler has an advantage in reload speed.

Between the Harry Hopkins (not the vehicle’s real name) and the SARC Mk VI (6pdr) there is a sizeable BR gap, into which the Daimler could quite happily slot. With Scouting, smoke, and the mobility advantage of its historical reversible gearbox, an improved Daimler could be a real asset.

Bonus round;

Even if not equipped with the 2 pdr Littlejohn attachment, the Littlejohn’s 2 pdr APCNR ammunition (2 pdr SV Mk I or Mk II) could also be added to Daimler for an APCR equivalent.

They just forgot to include it in the spreadsheet. There will be changes, but they’ll just implement them without consulting us and without giving us any say in the matter. There’s no way to discuss what we can’t see.

At the very least, we could include a brief note in the main text stating that there will be no changes to Air Simulator battles.

It’s because newer players don’t know how to fight it. A good player can wipe out an entire team in a downtier. People need to learn the tank’s weak spots. You can knock out some of the crew by shooting the cupola, and it works especially well with the Russian 85 mm.

Blame the German players for this thing going up in BR.
