Planned Battle Rating changes for April 2024

Sb2u, tbf-1c, ju-87 r2, v-156, wirraway, b6n1, v-11, hawk III, ba.65, b-17

all are very solid ground attackers and some are better than the bb-1

yeah no

Only the TBF has a chance with the 50 cals and the 2000lb, or the SB2U-3, both of which are 1.7 and at best sidegrades to BB-1

basically all the things listed are a side grade, because they are the nations equivilents, the su-2s just dont move in br due to the fact no one plays them, a common curse for foldered vehicles and their balancing methods at gaijin that use the algorithm.

in terms of payload/ armament/ speed the v-156 is better in every way except speed, so no i can confidently say there is nothing special about the bb-1 coming from someone who has played all the low level attackers that i just listed, in truth they are mostly samey and blend into one with the exception of the stuka and the b6n, one for its fat bomb and the ability to out turn everything if you know a few tricks, and the other because it flies like a fighter

It would indeed. It’s why I’m a tad on the fence about Harrier Gr1 and Hunter F6 balance. Because the difference between what they are like Vs what they should be like is so huge

they are nowhere near all sidegrades, they are all inferior, none fo them have a millimetre accurate bombsight attached to 2 500kg bombs, and the fact its not too bad at manoeveing and not that slow for 1.3, with an excellent turret gunner

The Leo 40/70 has essentially zero armor for most of the crew, what do you mean?

Poor Italy , the only good line up now is gone
Now they need to use G91YS to CAS and this thing don’t even has RWR and any countermeasure
Now I know why only 1% player plays Italy

Me with my spitfire will be fighting Mig-15’s? I hope not. Just put my spitfire at 6.7’s.

The R2Y2 is noticeably slower and less durable than other jets. Its BR in RB needs to be lowered from 8.0 to 7.7 or 7.3.


The Ki-200’s BR is too high at RB. It’s very strange that a WWII aircraft is being tracked by post-war missiles. Also, the Ho-155 II update has made its ammo belts less powerful, so more rounds are needed to kill an enemy than before. It needs to be decreased from the current BR 8.7 to BR 8.3.


The Ki-84hei’s cannon has been weakened, just like the Ki-200, so it should be lowered from BR 6.3 to BR 6.0 in RB. Also, the BR of this aircraft is 7.7 in AB, which is obviously higher than other countries’ single-engine reciprocating aircraft. The BR in AB should also be lowered from 7.7 to 7.3 or 7.0.


The Type87RCV and Type87RCV(P) have unreasonably high BR settings.
In particular, the Type87RCV is at BR9.0 even though it does not have a heat source detection device or sufficient armor. It is clearly inferior to armored combat vehicles of other countries. It should be lowered to BR8.3.
The Type87RCV(P) is set to BR7.7 even though its main armament is the same as that of an anti-aircraft vehicle with a BR5.3. Also, since there are no other Japanese vehicles at BR7.7, the options for using it are narrowed, so it should be lowered to BR7.3 or BR6.7.


The J7W1 has poor climbing ability, poor turning ability, and inferior cannon ammo capacity compared to other nations’ interceptors in the same BR range. I think the BR should be lowered from 6.0 to 5.7 or 5.3, or the BR should be kept the same and the match should start in the air. Spawning in the air would make sense, especially since the plane was developed to intercept bombers.

Yup, that was easy done, maybe they should hire you.

Perhaps they would get some actual work done. xd

both are open top with bassically no armour thickness where it is on the turret, though the Leo 1 hull is suprisingly strong at these low BRs

Swedish T34 to 4.0 big nono
Amx Ghibli to 10.7 big nono
the other changes seems right to me

literally god’s work, i hope they listen to you

m18 black cat gets treated like all the other m18’s raised to 6.0 but it didnt get the engine buff like others
nice reasoning

Move M1A1 to high tier or nerf its shooting rate

Move M1A1 to higher tier or nerf it!!!

no they don’t see it as much because its not a premium that gets spammed by every Chinese botter and friends. And there is the problem. premium,spammed+ bad aim.
Those swedish ifv’s are better than the 2S38 in every aspect other than rewards.
And don’t come to me with “oH tHeRe is A FuEl TanK”. Its 3 sardines lined up next to each other that will be one hit killed by any tank round placed properly.
Every other argument u managed to bring up is the same bs.

I have the 2S38, fought against it many times in my Italian and German tanks and IFV’s, and I don’t see this OP undertiered problem people whine about.
There have been many forum threads and reddit posts about “oP 2s38” and not once did the bandwagoners manage to make any reasonable argument.

It might make sense if 10.7 BR for ground RB mode only

I assume BR for ground RB separated from Air RB & Air SB in 2nd major update

I personally don’t buy what Gaijin says about “increased queue times” if they do something like I’ve shown.

I believe any increase in time to queue will be immediately offset by the enjoyment that comes from less compressed matches, might make players return and therefore increase the playerbase.
