Planned Battle Rating Changes (August 2026)

Spitfire Mk 22

ARB & GRB

6.7 → 6.3

The Mk 24 as it currently stands, is at a good BR, however the performance Between the Mk 22 and Mk 24 is so quite big, since the Mk 22 don’t have access to 150cc Octane fuel. This means this doesn’t really justify the two planes having the same BR.

Lower the BR of every Spike singers as long as they are not working and main armament is from 8.7

Not 'OR’imo ,it should be ‘AND’

G.91Y going from 9.0 to 9.3, who is the clown thinking this is warranted? The compression around these BR’s is already ridiculous, but now the fact it’ll have to deal with 10.3 supersonics and all-aspects now. What has the G.91Y got that puts it on par with the performance of Mig-19’s, F-104’s, Lightnings, F-100’s?

Whoever is responsible for balancing the Air RB brackets is absolutely out of touch. I can’t speak for Ground RB, as I don’t play enough of it, but jesus christ, absolutely delusional.

P-51H-5-NA

ARB & GRB

6.3 → 6.7

From what most people say, this is the best prop in the game, but it is somehow only at 6.3, while there is other fighters that is at a higher BR that it. The Mk 24, currently sits at a BR of 6.7, while performing similar to the P-51H.

Is that last months stats?
Keep in mind the sales just happened and the newbies kicking down the average stats was also probably planned by the devs.

Ground RB

Harrier GR.7

12.0 → 11.7

It has no CAS advantage over the Harrier T.10, and lowering its BR will allow it to be used with the 11.7 lineup, and not overlooked by the Griper, Tornado GR.4 or Typhoon in the 12.7 lineup

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
