Planned Battle Rating changes for April 2025

P-51H5 6.3 - 6.7

Best prop fighter in the game yet only a bit higher than the planes it counters.

PUMA VJTF: 11.0 → 10.7 (GRB)

Poor gun, unreliable and limited amount of missiles, and no lineup at its BR. It may have superior survivability compared to the light vehicles around its BR, but it doesn’t compensate for its inefficiency at killing stuff.

Mode: Air Realistic Battles

Aircraft: Ki-84 Hei (JPN)

6.3 → 5.7

The only difference between this and the other Ki-84s at 5.3 and 5.7 is the guns in the wings. The 30mm Ho-155s it gets have been HEAVILY nerfed and are lacking in every respect, with damage barely exceeding that of the 20mm Ho-5s it also has in the nose. Should be moved to same BR as the Otsu with its 4x 20mm Ho-5 loadout.

No lol

Bad zoom and no thermals.

Pz4G 3.3 - 3.7

Gun shreds everything at its BR and the armor isn’t too bad either. It’s near unstoppable in a downtier.

Just rename it to T-80BV and everything is good, no reason to remove TVD

AH-64D 12.0 → 12.3
AH-1Z, and MH-60L → no change in BR

But add the HEAT and HE-PF warheads to the APKWS
The hellfire L would be way too much of a buff but right now these helis really struggle to keep up at topteir due to how slow the hellfire is

Yes makes it untouchable OP again?

Seems you like to play unbalanced game.

I’ll just leave this here. 150+ people agreed with me last time.

Air RB - F-14A IRIAF 13.0 > 12.7 Because unless you’re buffing it this patch, it’s not equipped to fight its new matchmaker. I think a solution of adding the R-73E it was successfully tested with and allowing it to use all 6 Fakour slots would be beneficial. If deemed too strong for 13.0, remove the R-27R-1. I also recommend looking into possibly buffing the radar/RWR, as even with its missiles, there are certain standards for 13.0 aircraft that the F-14A airframe from the 70s cannot overcome with the Fakour-90 missiles.

Mode: Air RB

Vehicle: F-15E/I

BR Change: 14.0 → 14.3 or 14.7

Reasoning:

Upgrade the radar from AN/APG-70 to AN/APG-82(v)1.
Why? Because the current radar is underwhelming for its BR.
The aircraft also struggles in dogfights even with the AoA button due to airframe limitations.
It doesn’t have proper dogfight missiles either.
Plus, we’re using a late version of the F-15E, so the upgrade makes sense.

ARB
EF-2000/Typhoon FGR.2/F-2000A

14.0 → 13.7

Reasons: Bugged Radar which does barely work
FM is beyond awfull (My F-4F ICE turns better)

Pz 4H 3.7 → 4.0

Same reasoning as the G but it’s stronger.

Why on earth are the Q-5s going up??? They don’t have any missiles, and can’t break Mach 1 at sea level, and they only have 9 flare pops. The L is also objectively better than the A. Do not move them.

Yet another overtiered Chinese plane now.

Didn’t the regular HEF rounds get their fuzes fixed? Still, JP props need all the help they can get.

I do not agree, I think the Javelin is a good plane that performs well at 8.3, it has good guns with high cadence and good acceleration, if we remove the Sabres and MiG-15 that clearly should be at 8.7 minimum, it would be similar to the case of the F-104

Mode: Air Realistic Battles

Aircraft: F9F-2

Change: 8.0 → 7.7

Reasoning: The F9F-2 is somewhat of a struggle bus, as its flight performance is underwhelming compared to the F9F-5 and F9F-8. It closely resembles the F2H-2, which sits at 7.3, and shares very similar flight characteristics. Additionally, the F9F-2 struggles even in a support role, as it is easily outperformed by MiG-15s and Sabres in sustained dogfights.

Can we at least get the L23A1 in this thing now that it’s 10.0?

Sherman III/IV

3.7 → 4.0

It’s a sidegrade to the M4A2 with better mobility but slightly worse armor. It’s much better than the 3.7 Shermans
