Planned Battle Rating Changes (August 2026)

Have you played around 8.7 lately?

Any nation that isn’t the US is currently experiencing considerable frustration, to put it lightly

air rb

a6m6

5.3 → 4.0

bad engine, bad speed, no armor, all it can do its turn, this planes are bad and should be moved down a whole br bracket

Air realistic
Ki200
8.3->8.0
The most common misconception is they can “get across the map on barely any fuel”, yet people still don’t realize they are slow and extremely vulnerable during this and have to reactively accelerate once an enemy gets near.
Lowered rating instead of airspawn will keep it as a unique fighter and not a airspawn abuser.

Besides the 75MM sherman, moving down IS-2 from 6.3 to 6.0, Tiger 2 not H version and IS-2 1944 to 6.3 while you have tanks like the M26 Pershing stuck at 6.7 with mid armor and decent gun seems like unfair treatment since IS-2 1944 and Tiger 2 has better cannons with 200+ RHA pen and better protection than the Pershing. the IS-2s and Tiger 2 are just fine at the current BRs they are at or move M26 Pershing back to 6.3 like what makes M26 Pershing 6.7 and these both IS-2 1944 and Tiger 2 1-50 lower br than it?

I have a proposal. Give ONE of the Phantoms AIM-9L and keep it at 12.0. The other ones can go down to 11.7 as the way it is

AIR SIMULATOR

Su-11 7.0 → 7.3

Direct upgrade to Su-9 (7.0) with much stronger engines (approx. 1.5x thrust, that’s a LOT). In Air Realistic it went up not so long ago, it should follow suit in Air Simulator as well.

a6m3 mod 22

4.3 → 4.0

zeros have bad flight performance for their brs and should be moved DOWN instead of up

Su-27SM is NOT worth 14.3 and on par with F-15E 💀💀💀

Edit: MB i looked at air, but its not even the strongest 8.7 ground. It also gets 1 popped all the time by 8.0 tanks

I would agree with moving M26 down to 6.3.

oh boy, mig 25? (best 11.0 by far)
also if you move xs up aspide carriers and f 4e need to gu up as well

Vehicle: M60A3 TTS (USA)

Change: given M833

Reason: all other tanks of similar type and performance, including the Chinese M60A3 TTS at the same BR, have DM33 or DM63 ammunition. It should be noted that M833 compared to DM33 still falls short in performance, but this is still a better option than M774 and would bring the M60A3 TTS closer to parity with its counterparts.

same

it should already be 14.0 long time ago

Air realistic
J7D
10.7->11.0
Pl5 is a noticable upgrade over stuff like r60, being extremely fast and having large range. It also has internal flares so no pod for drag unlike the mig21mf/smt. At 11.0 it will be same rating as bis, bis having up to 6 missiles but j7d having 4 better ones, and somewhat less engine power.

Vehicle: XM8

Change: given M833

Reason: The light tank is a more advanced evolution of the CCVL which in game uses M833. It should have at least the same ammo as its earlier design, but in truth it would have been capable of firing M900 given that the XM8 was built in the 1990’s when M900 was also produced. I think giving it M833 is a more than fair addition to the tank.

Nah, Su-27SM is just fine where it is. It has a terrible radar and basic R-77s over 77-1s.

That wouldn’t make any sense because no. 74 Squadron’s F-4J(UK) entered service in 1984, when the AIM-9L was already the standard short-range air-to-air missile. On top of that, it’s the weakest British Phantom in the game, which only strengthens the case for giving it AIM-9Ls.

If both aircraft receive the AIM-9L, the F-4J(UK) still won’t outshine the FGR.2.

Aim7e2 and apside have such limited range you can generally see them being fired at you. And yes I also agree the mig 25 should go up.

With your logic gaijin should just move every Russian tank down in br to stomp everything else too. Notice how all of the vehicles you list are Russian? But type 90 must go up? Insane man, Russian mains can’t be pleased with much. Only one or two of the br recommendations I can maybe agree with.
