Planned Battle Rating changes for April 2025

GRB, 2S38 10.3 → 10.7/11.0.

Ah mobile IFV with a big autocannon that can penetrate MBTs as well as double as a great anti air with its proxy rounds. It is an anti everything vehicle.

It does not compare performance wise to competitors at the same tier like Puma, Namer, Strf 9040C and performs a good bit better then them.

Every single time it gets brought up that the 2S38 should receive a br bump with the last one even getting 176 likes, but it doesnt get addressed

Zusammenfassung

Yes it did get a “nerf” in the sense of the internals getting modelled more, but it was just as much a buff cause it now has an unlimited ready rack with a gun that doesnt overheat

It should finaly get its br bump it deserves

Mode: Air Realistic Battles

Aircraft: Spitfire LF Mk9

5.7 → 6.3

The LF Mk9 is also one of the most dangerous fighters at 5.7, with THE BEST climbrate at this BR, very strong firepower with currently the best 20mm cannons below jet tiers, and a turn rate that is UNMATCHED apart from a few A6M Zeros and the A7M Reppus (which are significantly worse in every other way).

apart from the “money” problem, i’d love to finally see that tank get a BR raise.

both Pumas and the Namer should be lower and 2S38 could easily be 11.3

Sorry for my misunderstanding.
You were talking about how it performs in arcade and i was thinking about realistic.
I dont play arcade much so i dont know about situation with japanese planes.

Mode: GRB

Vehicle: Panzer IV H.

BR Change: 3.7 to 4.0 and move to Rank III.

Reasons: Simple, is very good for 2.7 tanks. and is more needed in rank 3 so whit this changes all wins.

Mode: Air RB

Aircraft: B6N2 Model 12

2.3 > 2.0

It’s a B6N2a with weaker defensive weapons at the same BR. While it could be problematic due to potentially being able to outspeed most biplanes, it also doesn’t have much of a reason to have to deal with 3.3 planes. Plus, for Ground RB lineups, Japan only has the D4Y1 and Ki 109 at 2.0, so the B6N2 could provide another option to that bracket. Not to mention, it makes the progression between the Tenzan variants smoother, going from the B6N1 at 1.7, to the B6N2 at 2.0, and ending with the B6N2a at 2.3.

Aircraft: F-104G (China)

Game mode: Air Realistic

BR change: 10.7 → 10.3

Reason: It’s the Starfighter without countermeasures, with only 4x AIM-9J and a bit better engine in comparison with F-104J. This jet should be a sidegrade to F-104J, not the downgrade due to higher BR.

  • Su-17 and 22M3:

  • Su-17 and 22M4:
    all variants should go to 10.7

Q5L/A 9.7 They do not have missiles for attack, and their only attack weapon is two 23mm short barreled machine guns, which cannot survive at 10.0BR

JH7A Give the IRCCM missile, there are already a large number of IRCCM missiles at its location, and JH7A also requires IRCCM missiles for self-defense

J8F The reason is the same as above

shenyang F5 9.3→9.0 Gaijin It seems like I’ve forgotten

Ground RB, AMX-32(105), BR 9.3→9.0, It has no armor to block the shells of its opponents, and its maneuverability is incredibly poor at 9.3. Acceleration is slow, turret turn is slow. It should not be in the same BR as the AMX-30 Super.

AMD-1 honestly needed to be moved up.

Mode: Ground Realistic Battles

Vehicle: F-16C

BR Change: 12.7 > 13.0

Reasoning:
If all the top dogs of CAS(Rafale, Su-30SM/34, EFT) are going up in BR so should this plane as it has similar capabilities in GRB.

So what you are saying is “it’s the exact same, but gets apds at 5.0, so put it at 4.7 with the worse one”

Mode: Ground Realistic Battles

Vehicle: F-15E/I

BR Change: 12.7 > 13.0

Reasoning:

Mode: Air Realistic Battles

Aircraft: Eremin’s Yak-3(e) (USSR)

4.0 → 4.3
Compared to the regular Yak-3 at 4.3, it only loses one .50cal and is a little lighter. This is not enough to warrant what is arguably THE BEST 4.3 fighter to be moved down to 4.0, especially as the ShVAK (its main source of firepower) is untouched.

OK Gaijin, now what about the APHE slugger? YaK-9’s shouldn’t one tap Tigers, should they?

Theres little to no difference between them. They all should be 7.3 tbf.
But at least Ki-200 gonna be slightly less useless at 8.3 - still no clue why its not at same br as german me 163 with 30 mm (since they have both inaccurate 30mms) that its still kept at same br as one with 20mm but whatever its something japan rarely gets much needed br decresess. 👍

Now fix japan ww2 ground brs :D
