Planned Battle Rating changes for April 2025

Mode: Simulator Battles

Vehicle: F-14B

BR Change: 12.7 > 13.0

Reasoning:

F-14B eliminates the disadvantages of the F-14A which are engines, low countermeasures, limited RWR and rear aspect missiles. ARH carriers will always be at an advantage over SARH carriers in simulator battles and the F-14B does not face any ARH carriers at 12.7 and below.

This plane does not sacrifice anything, it has good radar, missiles and flight performance. This is under tiered at 12.7.

I request the battle rating to be adjusted to be the same as RB battle rating.

Any plans to change GRB BRs for aircraft below Rank 6 before the end of the decade?

amx13 to 7.0, with only 200mm pen, great idea gaijin, time to give them apds then.
wyvern 4.7 can go straight (back) up to 5.0 where it belongs, since it’s buff it’s an extremely potent fighter.
q5 a/l 10.0 with no missiles, and subpar performance for their br, why?
h34 to 8.0, which one? The US, the French, both?
the rockets moved at t1 for hueys is a great addition.

Mode: Simulator Battles

Vehicle: F-14A IRIAF

BR Change: 12.7 > 13.0

Reasoning:

Fakour-90s need no introduction, they are the one of the best ARH missiles below 13.0. They are fast (gives very little room to react), maneuver well (cannot be dodged kinetically), have very long range (rivals R-27ER). These missiles are set on the tomcat air-frame which is one of the best air-frames below 13.0. This plane is under tiered at 12.7.

I request to adjust the BR of this plane to be as same as the RB BR.

Irrelevant, as there is nor 12.3 rotation anyway, so it de facto already IS 12.7.

What Sim Air needs is a rework of those rotations, with currently 3 BR’s which are never on top. For 13.3 it’s just sad.

KV-1B/E
Ground Realistic 4.0 → 4.3

With the KV-1S moving up it makes no sense for these to remain at such an atrociously low BR, and club any match which they are present in and still perform very good in uptiers

Mode: Simulator Battles

Vehicle: Tornado IDS ASSTA1

BR Change: 11.7 > 11.3

Reasoning:

This tornado doesn’t have anything of advantage in air battles compared to the 11.3 variants. They have the same bad flight model for air combat, same AIM-9L missiles, same cannons which do questionable damage. There is no logical choice in why these tornadoes are set at a higher BR.

It is my understanding that strike aircraft with limited air to air armaments and combat performance should get better armaments compared to the fighters of that BR. For example, they should get all aspect missiles when fighters have rear aspect missiles, IRCCM missiles when fighters have all aspect missiles and good SARH missiles.

At 11.7, all aspect missiles become a common thing among fighters. Mig-23s get up-to 6 all aspect missiles, Thai F-5s and Kfir C2 get Python 3. Mirages get Magic 2 with IRCCM in sim. You face fighters with long range SARH missiles and PD radars just a step above in BR.

Please reduce the BR to match the 11.3 variants.

F-14B needs to get it’s deserved AIM-9M.
It was uptiered to 13.0 in Air RB, where most counterparts do have IRCCM missiles
Especially considering how much BOLs are underperforming

Mode: Simulator Battles

Vehicle: JH-7A

BR Change: 12.3 > 12.0

Reasoning:

This strike aircraft only gets 4 IR Missiles (non-IRCCM) while the fighters at same BR get SARH / ARH + IRCCM IR missiles.

Furthermore, plane isn’t fast enough to outrun fighters, gun placement is awkward to get used to. This plane simply doesn’t make sense at 12.3 against fighters with much superior flight performance and armaments.

Please adjust the BR to 12.0.

Yeah sadly

Pls make type 69iia 8.7 and give it its dart

its beyond stupid how bad the situation is
the changes to Mohawk and Marne are fair ones, but at the same time it creates the ridiculous situation where a WW1 escort sloop is now just 1.0 below a 1940s destroyer designed with cruiser duties in mind

Is the Tigre HAC also supposed to go to 12.3 like the UHT? As they’re pretty much the same

Mode: Simulator Battles

Vehicle: Mirage 2000D-R1

BR Change: 12.3 > 12.0

Reasoning:

This plane is very limited in its air to air armaments to justify being at 12.3. It doesn’t get a useful radar for finding air targets, doesn’t get in-built guns and the external gun pod is placed in an unusual location and affects performance, only two IR missiles.

Ideally, this plane should be at 12.0 while the Mirage-2000D RMV should be at 12.3 for its passive IFF capability.
