Planned Battle Rating changes for April 2025

No one is talking about France and I hope the DEVs think about it a little
1- There is no reason for the AMX-M4 to be 7.0, it has a very long reload time, continuing at 6.7 is already ideal
2- The Char 25T should have its BR changed from 8.0 to 7.7
3- If they are going to increase the BR of the AMX-M4, they should go down from the Lorraine 40T 7.7 for 7.3 because you very weak armor

Mbt T-72B 10.3 → 10.0

Air RB: Kurnass 2000 (12.3->12.0)
It only has IR missiles without IRCCM…It should have a lower BR than F16a

Its fine, it has better armor than the TURMS after all

I was using all the different modes and none of them lock.

Medium tank AMX 50 (TO90/930) 8.0 → 7.7

Uh no? I’m not talking about the 1989. Also neither the 89 or the B have a thermal

Which AA? because none of the 9.0 or under kill it at range

Vehicle: JH-7A
BR: 12.3 to 11.7 in ARB, 12.3 to 12.0 in ASB
Other changes: none
Being a dedicated CAS aircraft at 12.0, the planes has two PL-5Cs and practically two more PL-5Cs, and it is at the same BR of a literal hornet. It is better than the IDS tornado in dogfighting, which is much overtiered as well. In GRB fine otherwise with its CAS weapons, though two more Kh-29s would sure be welcome.

  • If the AMX-M4 at 7.0 would already be terrible against 8.0 (this game only exists uptier), imagine the AMX-13 that penetrates so little. It NO makes sense for the AMX-13 to be 7.0

Oh cool.

Just keep nerfing Israel’s already bugged and mediocre Merkava tanks further. Oh, and while your at it, you also seem to be Nefing the Namers again despite them being nearly equal to the 2S38 and BMP-2M.

Great Going.

Merkava 1 will suffer again after this ridiculous BR adjustment

Vehicle - Strv 103C
Mode: Ground RB
BR: 9.0 > 8.7 (revert planned change)
Reasoning: The Strv 103C is already struggling at it’s current BR. The earlier versions at 8.0 are fine because they can somewhat rely on their armor against APDS and other earlier AP shells. Against APFSDS and more powerful HEAT-FS, it’s completely powerless. This problem is only worsened by the fact that pretty much every vehicle at 9.0-10.0 has full stabilisers, lightning fast reaction time and much more powerful cannons, while the Strv 103C has to stop before you can accurately aim which means it has a MUCH slower reaction time.

Even if the Strv 103C survives the first hit, it’s very likely that either the gearbox or the engines (or both) gets hit, and the aiming system is rendered completely powerless, i.e. there is nothing you can do to retaliate. Speaking of engines, all of the Strv 103s have two independent engines. Even if one is destroyed, the other one can function completely independently, something that is not modeled in War Thunder. Oh, and it doesn’t even get thermals, something that many other MBTs are starting to get.

Vehicle: 2S38
BR: same
Other changes: 24 rounds of 3UBM22 per game maximum
Still enough to knock out a handful of MBTs(and, 24 ZTZ99s if the aim is good), since it is a dedicated SPAA IRL, might as well make it be played like one.
I suppose this is the best way to balance it. Without ammo crates it also requires to get on a cap.

Strv 103s are a weird mix bc in 8.0 a well placed strv can be the best weapon for a skilled gamer, but the 103C just gets lolpenned by darts, idk what to say but keeping it at 8.7 is probably good

I really wish they would look at peoples lists. I made a pretty dedicated list on why certainly vehicles should move to certain brs.

It already suffers. It shotguns spall like crazy, has tons of armor holes, and now one of the only good lineups are fucking gone. Reduced to atoms.

The Sabra is going to 10.0, so no more lineup for it.

The Merkava Mk.1/2B is going to 9.7 despite being no better than other 9.3 tanks and now it’s getting ripped from the 9.3 Magachs, so there will be no more lineup for them.

Are we really at a point in this game where we genuinely think the Merkava Mk.2 is remotely capable of fighting 10.7 MBT? Really?

Israel has literally 0 lineups now between 9.3 and 11.3. This is disgusting.

Vehicle: KF41
BR: 11.0 to 10.7 in GRB
Other changes: none, or two extra SPIKEs
Its essentially a worse PUMA or NAMER due to its manned turret. It is enough for its job but statistically inferior, the manned turret is essentially the problem.

There needs to be another round of BR decompression for both Air and Ground.

In Air, many subsonic jets formerly in the 8.7-9.3 range were moved down during last April’s BR changes, and now totally outclass the vehicles around 7.3-8.3. Aircraft like the MiG-15bis or F-86F-30 should absolutely not be facing aircraft like the Meteor F.3 or Me 262 C.

While these late 1950s subsonic jets will struggle to fight supersonic aircraft and missile carriers, this means that aircraft that are outperforming them should move up, rather than moving these aircraft down to face easier opponents. In this situation, all aircraft starting around ~9.3+ (e.g. Yak-38, F-104) should be moved up in BR, and the total BR ceiling raised to 14.3 or even 14.7.


In Ground, there is a similar situation around the same BR. The transition from the end of WWII (around 7.0) into the 1960s (~8.3-8.7) happens far too rapidly, and this means that many vehicles with vast differences in capabilities (e.g. stabilizers, HEAT-FS, APDS) are forced to face each other in completely unfair engagements. A particularly bad example of this compression is the T-54 (1949) and Type 69, both of which are at 8.0, despite the latter having advantages in a stabilizer, laser rangefinder, and APFSDS. The Type 69 should not really face 9.3 or 9.7 vehicles, as it’s not that much better than the T-54, but it is ridiculous that they are at the same BR.

To resolve this, all tanks starting from around ~8.0/8.3+ (e.g. Type 69, T-55A, M60A1, Type 74(C)) should be raised in BR, and the total BR ceiling raise to 12.3 or 12.7.
