Planned Battle Rating Changes (August 2026)

Vehicle: Su-30MK2(AMV) & MiG-29M(9-15)
Gamemode: Ground Realistic
BR Change: 12.3 —> 12.0 (both)
Reason: both lack thermal imaging for AGMs and are restricted to TV‑guided ordnance, which puts them at a clear disadvantage compared to other 12.3 aircraft(They are alomst blind!). Since the F/A‑18C(Early) was just moved down to 12.0, these two jets should logically share the same BR.

M247
9.0→10.0
I think the M247 is better than the LAV-AD, XM975, and other SAMs. However, it really depends on having the M822; without it, it’s pretty much the same as the ZSU-37-2—excluding the radar—so it’s a tough call. I wish they’d make it a system that dynamically adjusts the BR.

Vehicle: Mirage F1C-200
Gamemode: Air Realistic
BR Change: 12.0 —> 11.3
Reason:This vehicle is completely unplayable at its current tier; it lacks a good radar and RWR, and its SARH missiles are terrible—with the exception of the Magic 2s, of which you can only carry two. The only way to be effective is to try to destroy a single base. It has absolutely no capability to face vehicles at its own tier or the tier above (13.0), as the survival rate against Fox-2 or Fox-3 missiles is practically zero. A rebalance of this vehicle is absolutely necessary.

No, Su-30MK2 has a better CAS loadout than the Su-27SM at 12.7
It should be 12.7, not 12.0 or 12.3

Su-30MK2 shouldn’t even be the same br as the MiG-29SMT in air rb anyways

well if premium su 30s go up and 27 sm, they can be 13.3.
they have hmd, irccm IRs and sheer missile count over all othert 13.3s (mostly f 16 adfs and mlus)
way better than being same br as gripen A…

SM gets Kh-31PD and AD tho

lol.
the quality of ordinace on the su-30s puts them miles above other 12.3 cas planes.

more Kh-29s
in fact, more guided munitions overall

theyd need to increase the top br first since they dont add new top premiums without increasing the top br

Vehicle: Re.2005 serie 0
Gamemode: Air Realistic
BR change: 6.3 → 5.7

What does this plane have at 6.3? Good turn radius, good ammo count, bad climbrate, bad turn rate, slow speed and compresses earlier than most planes that it can face. If this had the single best turn radius and turn rate at the br it is at we could say this plane has something to reliably work with, however at 6.0 the Spitfire LF Mk.IX has better turn radius and massively better power to weight ratio, also at 6.0 we have the Zeros that have much better turn radius and every other turn fighter will outclass the serie 0 in p/w meaning your only real chance to win a fight is to hope they do not climb optimally and do not go in any kind of sustained fight. Because of the compression, low top speed and lowish rip speed, the Re.2005 serie 0 will also not be able to exploit the rare occasions it has an energy advantage meaning that it has no real chance to engage other planes with better p/w and/or higher top speed. The only turnfighter that will lose to a Serie 0 is the Ta152 H, but has an airspawn and it’s 0.3 br lower (but the Ta152 will not compress that badly and has better rip speed and MER meaning it will be able to easily dive away).
To simply put it: the Serie 0 has no right to be at 6.3.
At 5.7 the Re.2005 serie 0 would still be one of the slowest and worse climbing fighters, but the gap between it and other fighters won’t be as big as at 6.3. If you still think the plane would be too strong at 5.7, I’d like to invite you to fly with the Spitfire Mk.IX: that plane as a remarkably similar flight model to the Re.2005 at 4.7 (with this br changes). I don’t see how the Re.2005 being 5.7 could break the game if the (virtually) identical plane doesn’t do that one whole br step below.

Ground RB
Sweden Sherman III/IV 3.7-4.0
He has a 500HP engine,the maneuverability is far superior to that of other Shermans.

So jap.and UK props getting standard BR increase like every update

I wonder at this point if every change is to help russia. Once again theres no negative BR changes for russia…

increasing BR of the zeroes is insane, literally NO A6M should be above 5.0, and maybe even lower I’d argue.

There is a hard cap of 13.0 for planes without Fox-3s
We need decompression so that hard cap can go higher

Then they go up

arguing for compression (moving vehicles down in br) will not fix anything, just make it worse

shouldn’t even be at 9.0 but still dosent make the point moot as theirs more annoying CAS aircraft at 11.7 than even that thing and gameplay is different

Didnt say that tho?

Only said those stats are skewed by arb which is shown with a10c - most obvious example. Seems like assumptions are your speciality given you dont even own a6e.

It has its advantages and drawbacks. Also its not just laser its tpod with thermals and huge fov which lets you guide missile while going away from aa. Also it doesnt suffer from tickrate and lod bugs which happen to mitl munitions. You would know that if you ever played mitl carrier or tram.

Didnt say so, only stated that players dont bother thinking and get killed easily.

And su25t cant output multiple kills as quick as f4e, doesnt stop it from being one of strongest 11.3 ground pounders.

That explains a lot. Then bring Corb here so I can speak with him, person who actually plays those planes. Instead of making assumptions.

A7m1 has gone from 5.0 to 5.7 in 2 updates… wild

Vehicle: JA37D
Gamemode: Air Realistic
BR Change: 12.0 —> 11.7
Reason: directly comparible to the MiG23 MLD with 2FOX1s + 4all-aspect FOX2s loadout. The Viggen has better radar and better IR missiles yet losing to the MiG on RWR and SARH missiles, while the two having comparible airframes (faster and more powerful MiG versus a more nimble Viggen). There is no reason the Viggen has its BR one step higher.

ARB
Q-5L
10.0 > 10.0
Give him A2A Missiles

Yeah exactly. Why does the E5 need to go to 7.0? It would make sense if they did decomp - but the E5 has no reason to fight 8.0 tanks at all. Zero.
