Planned Battle Rating Changes (August 2026)

Is the real Ho-Ri a consideration for a future addition? Even if it’s not for a direct replacement now, since it would also be a vastly different vehicle, it’s an interesting piece of history you can use to clear up some common myths around the Ho-Ri.

Right now a lot of people seem to think it was only a mockup, even though that wasn’t even the final design. This can be resolved with the proper Ho-Ri in the future.

What are u talking about? People launches fox3 around 35-45km all the time in ARB, of course it matters

yea because it’s trash at all distances

i think the fakour 90 is so good is because 1: it is fast af, and 2: ~13.0 is a BR where planes with fox3 fights planes without fox3 so the ones without fox3 is stuck on the defensive and have no way to fight back from BVR distances

F2G-1

ARB & GRB

6.0 → 6.3

One of the best props in the games, able to easily climb to an altitude where it chooses the engagement. It is not on the same level as a P-51H-5-NA, but it is still better that a lot of other props at 6.0.

what about fix 12.3 and 13.3 separate fox3 plane from fox1

giving it a dart would give it the extra punch thats worthy of 8.3 i think.

I’d rather it didnt get it and moved to 8.0 but gaijin seems hellbent that its to be at 8.3, i think this is to give space for the addition of the LEP scimitars at 8.0 in later updates, they are in the files

We can also go look at other months

All are sorted by KS from highest to lowest

May

April

March

February

January

GBR
Rooivalk MKF CSH
11.7---->11.3
A large number of the 11.7 Apaches went to 11.3, this 11.7 helicopter should also be adjusted together instead of being forgotten

tbf that mustang is on par with the mk24 spitfire so should be at 6.7

to those who are afraid of this, don’t worry, the Char25t still at 8.0, so it’s definitely not going up :))

And anyone dying to a missile launch past 30 km genuinely needs to put down the game and take a break, because those missiles only connect if you don’t even try to evade and just fly in a straight line.

air RB
Seafire LF Mk.III

5.0 → 4.3

It has only ~30 hp more power, but is slower and overheats worse compared to the Mk.IX at 4.3

Do those launches kill anyone who’s actually paying attention?
No, launches from that range are a gamble to see how dumb the enemy is

Most 13.0 Fox-1 slingers will probably completely fiddle the IRIAF in a 1v1 fight

ya but in most games iraf can kill at least 3 just by fakours

Suggestion

Vehicle: Jagdtiger

Mode: Ground Realistic Battles

BR: 6.7 → 6.7 (no changes)

Suggested balance change: a modest reload buff.

Reasoning: the engine nerf from last summer has affected this vehicle way more than it has the Tiger IIs. Its now very limited mobility, combined with the glacial reload and the increasing prevalence of small maps in the map rotation, make its life a little harder than it was previously.

Recently, many low tier and mid tier tank destroyers have been receiving reload buffs to help them out a little bit, and the Jagdtiger would fit nicely on that list. With two dedicated loaders for the two piece ammunition in a roomy casemate, giving it a modest reload buff would hardly stretch plausibility.

Suggested reload buff: 23,6 sec → 19,4 sec, in line with T34 and Sturer Emil.

The Jagdtiger has two dedicated loaders for its two-piece ammo, because of this the reload should be faster than the Maus/E-100 and significantly faster than IS-3 and IS-4 with their cramped turrets and only a single loader.

The Sturer Emil loads similar ammo into a nearly identical gun in 19,4 sec with just a single loader.

(Credit to @Ghostmaxi for the last observation).

Because it’s fighting premium idiots 90% of the time
Have you played that bracket?
It’s almost entirely premiums

Well.
Still, I’ll continue arguing they should be put up.
Several others should be too of course, there’s outliers but I’ll argue that buying into a bracket where that plane stomps things that it should have no business facing is a bit too much.

All of these SPGs getting lower BR but the Sholef stays at 7.3? At least give it its LRF it is unplayable RN.

F-80C 8.0 → 7.7 in air realistic.
Infinite WEP bug was fixed recently, The performance is much worse now so it should go back down again.

Suggestion

Vehicle: M4A2

Mode: Ground Realistic Battles

BR: 4.0 → 4.3

Reasoning: The general decompression of this area is affecting most medium tanks in the BR range, but leaving the M4A2 untouched. It is simply untenable for this to be at the same BR as a Chaffee or a Pz IV J, and only one BR step above the M4A1. This vehicle is already a downtier monster. Most of the mediums being moved up will be rightfully prevented from bullying 2.3/2.7 vehicles, but they’re also being pegged to a vehicle that in its own right is a bully and a sealclubber. It should move up with the rest.
