Planned Battle Rating Changes (August 2026)

Ground RB

Sherman III/IV

3.7 → 4.0

This thing has excellent armour, and the best mobility among shermans in the game, and lack the hull MG weakspot

this BR increase would also bring it up to the same BR as its TT counterparts

Ground Realistic BR
BuccaneerS.2B
10.3—>10.3
At that time, in order to keep this plane at 10.3, you guys drastically nerfed the AJ168 missile—the magnification was only 3.53x, speed was reduced, and the explosive yield was significantly decreased (88.5KG → 53.5KG). The target lock distance went down from 12km to 6km. The man-in-the-loop is interesting, but it feels like chocolate-flavored poop. Apart from the man-in-the-loop mechanism, everything else is useless. Going to 10.7 is really unreasonable, and it’s very different from the J22M1A. No HD thermal imaging, one less man-in-the-loop missile, and the missile’s seeker performance is hugely different (3.53X vs. 8.1–24X). Could this really be only a 0.3 BR difference?

NOPE!, brother give it up this thing is not 12.3 worthy. Not in the slightest…

GBT 155

GRB

7.0 → 6.7

After the shell velocity of the GBT 155 was silently nerfed in the Heavy Cavalry update, from its original 940m/s to 684m/s (Same as the M109A1), it should get a decrease in its BR, now that its effective performance is worse.

Another argument for the decrease to its BR, is that you are decreasing the BR of the AuF1 in the same update, with the AuF1 having a shell velocity of 810m/s. The reloads of the two vehicles are also quite similar, 7.5s for AuF1 and 6.5s for the GBT 155 with aced crew.

Moving down the Tiger 2 to 6.3 as if the 85mm can pen it frontally is such BS

B52 8.7 - 10.0 with actually useful loadout and jamming

Welp, every tank that got APHE is now dead (especially the Churchill). Tho the Cromwell V might be good, as now there is room for a Sherman V in the tree.

What do you mean the Hummal is going down!?!?!? That thing steamrolled teams when I fought it.

And once again I’m pulling my hair out at seeing the name C2A1 (the name of a FAL variant). What’s sadder is that the file name for the vehicle is correct. If only Gaijin had it so names of the operator nation took priority. (related bug report) Community Bug Reporting System

Vehicle: F5E/F5E(China)
Gamemode: Ground Simulator Battles
BR Change: 11.3->11.0
Reason: At 11.0, A-7K and Su‑17/22 have similar ground capabilities. At 11.3,F4E are obviously superior to F5E due to its Aim7s and more AGM/GBU, F5E/T in Jap tech tree has Python3/Aim9P4, which is far more efficient compare to Aim9J/P. F‑5E has good flight performance but poor AAMs (no radar, outdated) and limited Mavericks, so 11.0 fits.

Ground RB - AMX-32 (105) : 9.3 > 9.0

With the Leopard 1A5BE going down, there is no reason for the AMX-32 (105) to stay at 9.3, since the Leopard is mostly better for everything.

Personally never been a fan of the ‘evaluation makes it okay’

Because otherwise it means everybody gets pretty much everything.

Yeah, they changed them to be basically MITL only guided, which is fine from a realism PoV, but they are so slow that they are usually always intercepted. The Jaaaaaag is the way superior CAS aircraft at the moment and it costs less SP

Or they can give it AS.37s and leave it at 10.7

Vehicle: Harrier GR.3
Gamemode: Air Simulator Battles
BR Change: 9.3 —> 9.7
Reason: It is currently the only Harrier at 9.3 for no clear reason. I believe this is just an oversight from the last time all Harriers were moved up.

A-4E (Early), IAF A-4E (Early), IAF A-4E (Early) Mod.

Realistic ground battles: battle rating 9.3 → battle rating 9.7

With the proposal of increasing the Yak-130 battle rating, personally I think would be fair to have these three vehicles affected as well, for comparison they standout in comparison with a useful radar warning reciever, may not understand most wavelength but it’s still possible to distinguish radar search ping and radar search and track and on top of that flare and chaff countermeasures to help. The american with access to five total air-to-ground ordinances, three AGM-12B and two AGM-62A is very effective, the IAF A-4E in comparison, being limited to a total of three air-to-ground ordinances being two AGM-62A ER and one GBU-8, still able to use the Aim-9B air-to-air infra-red missiles in its loadout, while also having a superior engine.

Mode:Ground Realistic Battle
Vehicle:M346FA
BR Change:12.3→12.0(or add GBU-53 /Spice-250)
Reason:The striker doesn’t own any Shoot and forget weapon,and the sniper is piece of shit,so it should add Shoot and forget weapon or get to a lower BR

Vehicle: Falcon
Gamemode: Ground RB
BR Change: 8.3 - 8.0
Reason: Loss of APDS round has nerfed its ability to fight ground vehicles other than light tanks. It is now significantly less effective than other AAs at the same br. It is closer to some 7.7 AAs like the PGZ88, ZSU-37-2 and VEAK 40.

Vehicle : F-16V
Mode : Air Realisttic
Change : 14.3 > 14.0
