Planned Battle Rating changes for April 2025

True, only larpers use APHE instead of APDS or darts at 8.3 and above, but I guess this is off topic.

Mode: Naval RB

Vehicle: USS Des Moines

BR Change: 6.3 > 6.0

Reasoning:
Bad armor, bad shell room and magazine placement making it easy to ammo rack.
Firepower inadequate for the battle rating and versus Battleships and Battlecruisers

GRB
Radkampfwagen 90
10.0 → 9.7
Reason:
Sure it has good mobility, BUT No Thermal, No LWS, Paper armor and an aced 6.7 reload with just DM33

totally agreed 200/100 comment

Mode: GRB

Vehicle: AMX-40

Change: Leave it at 9.7

Reason: There’s literally no 10.0 lineup for France, what the hell is it gonna do alone?
Also its round would be insufficient to deal with targets in uptiers.
This nerf is just completely uncalled for.

Bo 105 PAH-1
9.3 → 9.0

Currently it’s worse than the PAH-1A1 in every way but at the same BR. And it’s even worse than the Tzefa B which is at 9.0.

From 9.3 to 9.3?

Merkava 1 and 2 armour is definitely better than the Leopard 1, AMX-30 and the like.

Mode: Ground Realistic Battles

Vehicle: Merkava Mk.2D

Change: 9.7 > 9.7

Reasoning: The Merkava Mk.2D is a durable vehicle due to its armor and module layout. However, it is not excellent when looking at firepower and armor, and does not perform as well as a BR 10.0 deserves. I suggest that this vehicle should not be changed from BR 9.7.

REMOVE APHE. I think that’s pretty self-explanatory.

9.7 → 9.7?

That means no changes to the BR

Ah okay, so you are just referring to the currently planed BR move of these vehicles

Compared to those vehicles, the Merkava would certainly be slightly better armored. However, both Leopard1 and AMX-30 have excellent mobility instead of armor. On the other hand, I would say that Merkava does not have superior mobility and is less survivable.

Least biased US main.
Lol. No.

Thats simply everything up and US down, thats dreamthinking, not helpfull for ballancing and also wont ever go through.

Mode: GRB

Vehicle: Type 81 C

Change: Leave it at 11.3

Reason: Sure the missile is nice and all, but it’s still a radarless system with only gen 1 thermals that sucks at engaging helicopters (with no AA alternatives to deal with them).
It’s a system with pretty serious hard limits, it’s fine where it is.
