Planned Battle Rating changes for April 2025

suggestion

Ratel 20
move up to 7.3

there is no business having a Milan missile carrier at the same BR as the tiger 2, this is ridiculously unfair for ww2 enjoyers

Mode Ground RB
Type 16P/FPS
9.3 → 9.7
Reason being the 8.3 vehicles this gokart can see are absolutely useless against it when it decides to never be overpressured and eats shells such as 130mm and survive with no issue.

Or once again put the IS-7 back to 8.0 GRB as it is nowhere near as good as once used to be due to current meta of light vehicles and autocannons.

But im sure everyone would cope if the is7 went down so hoping that the top end 9.3 will have the worst offenders go up in br.

You forgot about Israeli 8.7.

Its more likely they d add a new variant of the F-15 for all that as to avoid creating a notable gap in the tree

Sorry but this is ridiculous.

Big hard no.

We have the Harrier Gr7 for that.

One of the main reasons that myself and a few others wanted something like the Harrier T.10 (we originalyl wanted the Gr5A) was to add a Harrier II with 9Ls on the British TT as a direct equal to the AV-8B(NA). To give it 9Ms would whack its BR back up to an unfun BR

Given Aim-9Ms and 2x more BOL, it would just be 12.3 alongside the GR7

I agree with a lot of this, including the XM8. My comment from earlier included the XM8 and a bug report someone made pointing out that issue. Wish they would give it another look.

But also, if you were to lower the Skink BR for Britain, shouldn’t the same occur for US?

F-16A Block 15 OCU (Thai): 13.7 → 13.3 (if it keeps AMRAAM)

I agree with his opinion. That said, even if we assume its current loadout stays the same, the 16A OCU absolutely does NOT belong at 13.7.

Like the Belgian (French tree) F-16AM, this aircraft lacks HMD mode for its radar. However, unlike the F-16AM, it only has 45 countermeasures—making it one of the weakest jets at 13.7 overall. As the JA37DI has already shown, simply having a decent radar and AMRAAMs isn’t enough for being 13.7.

Now consider the F-16D: it doesn’t carry AMRAAMs, but it DOES have radar HMD mode and 180 countermeasures—and it sits comfortably at 13.3 (honestly, the 16D is far more capable even at 13.7). So if that thing is at 13.3, then the 16A OCU should be as well.

If entirely possible. Can everyone be given unlimited likes for the duration of BR Change posts. I’ve nearly run out and I cant help feel that some vehicles may simply fall through the cracks because they arent considered a high priority by the community who are nursing what likes/upvotes they have.

NGL I dunno why gaijin didn’t just add an older J-MSIP variant in the first place, there are ones they could’ve done that would just get the AAM-4, or even gave us different pre-MSIP ones for one with an AMRAAM one without, which would’ve been better so they wouldn’t have had to gimp the AAM-4 like they did. But instead they went straight from an AMRAAM capable pre-MSIP one to the most modern one, literally about the worst decision possible.

They separated them in the list for some bizzare reason. but good.

God knows, but likely they just wanted an F-15 variant equal to the F-15A and then later one equal to the F-15C.

Yeah, what I said with 2 different Pre-MSIP variants would’ve done that though.

Not really, the 8.7 AMX30s are still worse than the t-55A. gaijin somehow gave them literally the floppiest guns in the game.

Three, Buccanner 1 (the one from the event) has to go to 7.0 or 7.3 because the plane is trash, easy to be shot down
Maus reduce BR the thing is slow in everything, even a Jewish M51 destroys it (along with E100 please)
And planes ww2 (mainly jets) should be at most 6.0

I get where you are coming from. It just doesn’t make much sense to me having a harrier 2 just above the FRS1 when it beats it in every way (other than having no tracers) they need breathing space to truly shine

having a direct counterpart to the NA isn’t a concern for me honestly.

it performs a little worse than a GR7 so this can be our replacement for GR5 at 12.0 with a missile it actually used, aim 9L was obsolete by the time the harrier 2 had even first flown as the M was already in full service.
;

T10 has the chaff pod so I think moving it up higher would actually make it actually useful instead of a waste of time like it currently is

we still can get a gr9a with ASRAAM one day.

Suggestion: Move Puma VJTF, Namer 30, and KF41 to 10.7

All three vehicles rely on a 30mm autocannon, which can’t penetrate the side armor of most 12.0 MBTs due to ERA/NERA (e.g. Leopard 2 PSO, T-80BVM, T-90M, M1A2 SEP, Leclerc AZUR, etc.).

This forces players to rely on fire-and-forget missiles, which aren’t always reliable.

Many 12.0 MBTs also have spall liners and extra side armor, making the job even harder.

The Puma VJTF is also the only 11.0 in the German tree, making proper lineups impossible without jumping into 12.0, where it’s underpowered.

Putting them at 10.7 would make them more effective without being unbalanced.

You can make an excellent game, but you don’t do it because you don’t want to! Let realistic mode be realistic!

In ARB maybe, but in ASB its a world of difference.

At 12.3 it faces Mig-29s and F4F ICEs, making it rather hard to actually use it as a mud mover and a chore without the radar.

At 11.3 it faces Mig-21s and Mig-23s. and is an actually fun BR.

Its more a matter of gameplay differences rather than raw performance differences to the Sea Harrier.

Also the Gr7 should just get Phimat pod as well.
