Planned Battle Rating changes for April 2025

It was more of a return to the regular Ko or Hei. That was the case with a lot of the Japanese improvised interceptors

When did they stop allowing people to take their low BR tanks to above 10.0? I’m fairly sure I saw an M18 in a 11.0 match yesterday.

you sir, are cooked. 4.0 is perfectly balanced, as all things should be.

100% agree, +1. Removing AMRAAM from the OCU and lowering it in BR would easily let them add the F-16A (e)MLU next update if they really want an F-16 with AMRAAMS for the Thai subtree (Which is what they should have done in the first place honestly)

they didnt

Mode: Air Realistic Battles

Aircraft: f18 late (USA)

Change: 14.0 → 13.7

Reasoning: This plane is too slow for a 14.0, I was against this change before, but thinking about it, maybe it would be better for it to be a 13.7, it doesn’t compete with the f15E/I, EF or Rafale.

We know Gaijin will not decompress top tier. We know this is akin to asking for the moon. Or for anyrone else get a Pantsir equivalent. But dropping a jet to a BR it was already at and was originally fine existing at, now thats easy. Like unbelievably easy. And we can move the A-10s and Su-25s back down too since that was another asinine change.

And it’ll make anything else a pain to play because you won’t be able to climb, and you will always have to defend, putting yourself at a severe disadvantage at the beginning. This is partly the fault of air RBs game design, where you need to rush to the middle in order to be effective.

It doesn’t help that Fakours are insanely fast, and are on a good airframe.

I don’t understand even a little bit why other then bias against French players again… is the AMX-40 going to 10.0 .
It has very bad gun handling with a max turret Horizontal speed of 25°/s and 6°/s Vertical on an ace crew and FIX 10x Zoom .
No Autoloader , 6.7sec Ace Reload
No Armor at all , even in a full downtier at 8.7 EVERY Heat/Apds/APFSDS shells go right through it from the front either your Turret or your Hull .
The APFSDS Shell has bad/mid Penetration 394mmMax/214mmMin while at 9.7 the SABRA Has 589mmMax/313mmMin (Better than the Leclerc Best Shell AT 12.0 ! Might i add .
And worst of all at 9.7 it was the only MBT of your Lineup which means that now the AMX-40 will be alone with no lineup at 10.0 and your 9.7 lineup will only consist of light tanks… Amazing .
KEEP the AMX-40 at 9.7 (even at 9.3 it wouldn’t be a broken tank)

Preventing all aspect missiles from facing Sabres/Mig-17s and similar stuff is not an asinine change.

Mode: Air Realistic Battles

Aircraft: F16 OCU

Change: 13.7 → 13.3

Reasoning: 30 countermeasures, no hmd is a block 10/15 f16… Why is it in the same BR as F16C Block 50? Since it has everything worse than Block 50.

Maybe if they had recieved the air spawn Gaijin said they would get alongside the BR change, Id probably agree with you. But they didn’t, so it was indeed an asinine change.

I understand if the T-55AM 1 gets sent to 9.0 thats reasonable but the T-55AMD 1 will not be good at 9.0. Drozd is nice but most vehicles you will be encountering will be shooting darts and 400mm+ HEATFS .

Mode: Air Realistic Battles

Aircraft: F16 AM

Change: 13.7 → 13.3

Reasoning: Same situation as OCU but with more countermeasure, Why is it in the same BR as F16C Block 50? Since it has everything worse than Block 50 without hmd zzz

Vehicle: T62
Gamemode: , Ground Arcade , Ground Realistic
BR Change: 8.7 —> 9.0
Reason
1- tank of ww2 of 7.7 do not need too see this monster

2 blunders which already exist don’t make another blunder good.

I am well aware and understand how you tomcat-enjoyers love tomcat, and it now has a terrible time against the F-15E

But, sending it down to 12.7 is making it dominate everything again and makes 11.7-12.7 dead.
bc full uptier match (12.7-13.7) does not happen much because there are just too many of 14.0BR jets, which magnet everything below.

I know the current F-14A IRIAF is meh now.
But sadly, keeping a single plane dead is better than keeping the whole BR radius dead.

We need something better than ‘just send it back to 12.7’ for the solution.

Mode: Air Realistic Battles

Aircraft: F104 S and F104 S TAF

Change: 11.3→ 11.0

Reasoning: This plane is by far the worst plane in the game after the nerfs, at least reduce its BR so it can try to be playable.

Mode: Realistic Battles

Vehicle: AMX40

BR Change: 10.0-> 9.7(No Change)

Reasoning: AMX 40 has no armor nor penetration(394mm is almost the lowest) in BR 10.0, espscially when it’s in uptiere battles. Furthremore, this disintegrate the French 9.7 lineup, resulting the four only French vehicles in its VII rank distributed in 3 different BRs, which is very unreasonable.

The Fox after the turret nerf going up seems very unneccesary and the FV4030/3 going up makes the rapier going down pointless and removes any reason to buy the FV4030/3 being there’s no decent line up for it at 10.0 and 0.3 of a BR higher is much better vehicles

Mode: Air Realistic Battles

Aircraft: F104S.ASA

Change: 12.0→ 11.7 or 11.3

Reasoning: this f104 is only 0.3 br away from a f16A, that’s crazy
