Planned Battle Rating Changes (August 2026)

Vehicle: Premium Leopard 1 (120mm gun)
Gamemode: Ground Realistic
BR Change: 9.3 —> 9.0
Reason: This vehicle’s combat performance is identical to that of the Leopard 1A5; in fact, the penetration of the 120mm gun’s DM13 round is even lower than that of the 105mm gun’s DM33 round used by the Leopard 1A5. Therefore, its Battle Rating should match that of the Leopard 1A5.

Vehicle: Mirage 2000D-RMV

Gamemode: Air Realistic/Ground Realistic

BR Change: 12.7 —> 12.0/13.0 —> 12.7

Reason: RMV having same BR as F-15J is ridiculous, same BR as Mirage F1C would be fine. It’s not like Su25SM3 can use KH38 to shoot down planes in ARB.
In GRB it’s already perofrming mid, you need to sacrifice AASM for a gunpod so you have a chance to deal with LDIRCM helis.

Gripen E should get at least 120 c8 (sweden bought them couple of years ago, basicly export version of 120 D)
F 18C (first finnish one) has no hmd or c 5s could be 14.0

GRB
AJS37
10.7→11.0
With four fire-and-forget anti-tank missiles, the ability to carry anti-air missiles (albeit with a rear aspect), and even an afterburner, this is a pretty ambitious aircraft for a 10.7. I think 11.0 would be a more appropriate rating.

Both the TKX(P) and Type 90 are already significantly overtiered. They have weak darts for their BR and no meaningful armor, with their only advantage being reload speed, which is not a deciding factor in most fights.

If it would get its historically correct Engine mounted 15mm Mg 151.

The main issue with gaijin’s balancing is that they cater to the players with low skill.
That results in planes with a skill floor (or premium/squadron vehicles) being undertiered while ones that are easy to use (but not necessarily good) end up going higher.
IRIAF and Su-27SM are the perfect example of that.

Gaijin should stop catering to these people and instead focus on those who are either average or slightly above average

True, that plane should be one br step below the equivalents with HMD

Problem with 1a5 is that it’s not good enough for 9.3 and too good for 9.0

Then it should. By all the costs, it should not be seeing 1.0 planes.

Vehicle: Mirage 2000D

Gamemode: Air Realistic

BR Change: 12.3 —> 12.0

Reason: As JH-7 at 11.7, it would be fitted for 2000D at 12.0, both 2 IRCCM missile but better air frame

Vehicle: T-55AM-1
Gamemode: Ground Realistic
BR Change: 9.0 —> 8.7
Reason: it is gona be in the same br with Leopard1A5. It has worse mobility and armor that can’t protect it against DM33.

This will create a one core problem, the good plane/tank with high skill requirements became something exting because new players never gonna learn how to play this
For example the whole zero line

how likely do you think they will do that?

This and model it’s radar tail gun

best they can do is another copy-pasted premium

Moving forward, more sub-tree vehicles for Japan will naturally come to help bolster their ranks.

I think that it is very good at 9.3.
Edit: Well - It is pretty bad until it’s almost spaded.

G.91Y shouldn’t be going up in ARB when planes like the CL-13B and F4D exist at 9.0, and at 9.3 you have planes like the Su-7, F106, MiG-19s, etc, not to mention it would be able to see 10.3 which includes app aspect missiles it just shouldn’t see.

If you want to move the G.91Y up, there would need to be a lot of decompression with supersonics, otherwise you’ll just end up killing a fun plane for no reason.
