Planned Battle Rating changes for April 2025

One last suggestion

Spitfire mk22
move down to 6.3

It currently has ZERO purpose other than being a worse vehicle to unlock the mk24 at the same BR

having it as 6.3 for its worse performance will make it worth using after the mk24 is unlocked

Air RB:
German IDS-Tornado
11.7>11.3

Reason:
It brings no advantage over the WTD or Marineflieger Tornado, yet is higher ranked in air than them.

Again, im not sure why an 11.3 aircraft is relevant to 12.0 aircraft, especially when there are far stronger 12.0 aircraft already there. Like the ADV, F-4S and to a degree the Mirage F1

Very much agreed, the ASA needs to be 11.3 and the S and S TAF need to be 11.0

Literally not what i said at all. I was saying the AMX-30B2s were overtiered. interesting.

Even without AHEAD it should be a higher BR than the gepard. it gets better penetrating rounds, a laser rangefinder, thermals, IRST and even adjustable suspension. I think with AHEAD it should probably be 9.0.

mig 29 with no r27er and added r73?

It has the same guns? Again the issue is it leaves the 8.3 lineup with nothing.

The sheer amount of bias in these suggestions…

But different and better ammo across the board. it’s also faster than the gepard with 21.1hp/ton compared to the gepards 18 and the aforementioned adjustable suspension. there is no way they should both be 8.3, even with AHEAD removed.

M1 Abrams
Mode: Ground RB / Ground AB
BR change: None.

Give the original Abrams the M833 round, the M774 pen and damage its pretty subpar to its peers at 10.7. Yes, the tank did use it. Besides there isn’t much difference in game between M774 and M833.

Nah, firstly the game shouldn’t jump that much rn, but also you’re forgetting a lot of airframes, like all of japan, which makes sense since this is a really big change and not something that would even be considered from a suggestion in a seasonal BR change.

Mode: Air Realistic Battles
Aircraft: BI
Change: 6.7 → 7.3

There is literally nothing props can do vs this aircraft. It is blatantly overpowered and should not be facing props at all.

Agreed, facing it in a Mig-21 while it being superior in almost every way is nuts

Are there any plans to look at the Ground BR ratings of the Japanese Air tree? The only reason I can think that the F-4EJ Kai is still 11.3 is because there is a plan to give it Mavericks, or that with the release of the F-2, it will be receiving ASM-2 which has a secondary anti-ground function, I believe. The fact that its supersonic, has a PD radar, and AIM-9L isn’t much of an upgrade in GRB over the 12.0 Phantoms that get to be 10.7. I could see an argument maybe if it also got AAM-3, 3 but the fact that F-5s with AGMs get to be 11.0 is a bit silly lol

I also feel that since the F-1 losts its computers does it really need to be at 10.0 in ground battles? Alpha Jets have computers, countermeasures, and some have better missiles and they’re 9.7.

Mode: Realistic Air Battles

Vehicle: Tornado IDS ASSTA1

BR: 11.7 > 11.3 (or 11.7 with AIM-L/i)

Reason:
Currently, the Tornado IDS is overtiered, with its anemic flight model, weak weaponry and air-to-air missiles, it faces threats which has no counter to and full uptiers are brutal. Its play style is no different from its premium counterpart, the WTD61, which sits at 11.3. Alternatively, the Tornado IDS could also receive AIM-L/i which historically uses and stay at 11.7.

The F-1 would also potentially get the same GCS-1 Guided bomb as the EJ Kai and F-2, if we’re talking about potentials from introduction of stuff next patch if anything it would move up.

Mode: Realistic Battles

Vehicle: M109G

BR Change: 6.0 → 6.3

Reasoning: When it was first added the M109G had lower velocity shell than the M109A1 and justified being a lower BR. Now they both fire shells at the same velocity and are also identical in all stats aside from the M109G being 400kg heavier which is not enough to warrant a different BR.

This is not true, the PzH 2000 received free NVDs without modification despite being 7.7 and was added well after the Fox. The 2S19 also received them when it was added last patch at 7.0. The same thing can be done for any vehicle below 10.0.

In my opinion, the AMX-40 shouldn’t be moved up. It’s basically a worse version of the Leo 2K/2AV in almost every way, and now it’s at the same BR. It also completely ruins the lineup it was a part of,
