Planned Battle Rating changes for April 2025

finally someone who tells the truth

me,an italian main:
FIRST TIME?

No.

Please don’t forget the other F-15s that are outside of the US tree. I get that things with good radar and speed can be strong CAP in GRB, but these planes, and the F-16 ADF, should have lower GRB ratings to provide for anti-air for lines-ups.

Stirlin B Mk III

ARB & GRB

4.7 → 4.3 / 4.0

The Mk III is near identical to the Mk I, but somehow that justfies a BR difference of 0.7, instead of them being same BR. It is not even because they have any difference in armaments.

There is no reason to play this thing over the Stirling B Mk I. You get an aircraft that is 0,7 BR higher for no increase in flight performance, defensive or suspended armaments.

Mk.4 sabre and A-5 sabre are the same plane +50kg or so. The visual model is wrong, they both have slats and no all flying tail.

Venom FB.4

ARB & GRB

8.7 → 8.3

It is a jet where all its main way of fighting is turnfighting. The thing is, at this BR, most people knows that turnfighting is not advantageous, so it happens in a blue moon.

It can be powerful, but it plays about the enemies making mistakes, therefore it is not an reliable aircraft to play. Unlike its little brother the Vampire, it does have some engine thrust, but when i have to fight things like MiG-17, A-4B, GR.91 or CL-13, it just isn’t enough engine power.

SAAB-105G

GRB

8.3 → 8.7

Very good flight performance in regards to climb, and maneuverability. Combined with it having CCIP, it easily is able to get multiple ground kills with its bombs, and at the same time, being near untouchable. It is also able to equip 30mm ADEN gun pod that works as a very effective armament against both air and ground.

8.7 is probably not enougth 9.0 is more fair but that is a good start

Pbv 501

GRB

6.7 → 7.3

It is a BMP-1 more that a whole BR lower. Its cannon, is a fast firing cannon that shoots HEAT that have no major problem dealing with enemy vehicles at around 8.0, but somehow this are 1.3 BR lower that its counterpart, just because it doesn’t have an ATGM. At the same time it also have very good mobility, so it is not the mobility that is the reson for it being so low BR.

Again, comparing it to the BMP-1, the only difference is that it doesn’t have an ATGM launcher, it just doesn’t make sense why this is so low of a BR.

FV102 Striker

8.3 → 8.0 & Add spotting

It is part of the CVR(T) family, where the R quite litterally stands for Reconnaissance. It is a scouting vehicle, that doesn’t have the ability to scout. At the same time, it is like an alternative to the Swingfire vehicle, since it trades the ability of being able to be hull down for a lot more mobility.

there’s no reason that the 1B and 1E should stay at 4.0, when the worse KV-1S and KV-7 are going to a higher BR. and that’s before you consider that other tech trees have equivalent heavy tanks at 4.7+ and above already.

You reason like that, but you haven’t played a single battle on any of the strv 103
And I tested it yesterday on 9.0 it hurts any BMP kills me in the forehead.
And tanks at full speed shoot at the silhouette and explode ammunition

I’ve been riding them since they were introduced into the game and I understand perfectly well what they can and can’t do

It’s an interesting point you’ve made because to some extent you are right, in downtiers 8.7 tanks are very dangerous and anoying opponets but we must not forget that the majority of the games we play are usually uptiers or miduptiers. I am sure that 8.7 tanks will underperform in the 10.0 environment.

it would be logical if absolutely all equipment above 8.3 would go 0.3-0.7 higher at once and not some separate cluster then yes there would be division but this way a disabled class of equipment is created from the best BR
what is the difference then between suffering 7.7 and the future 9.0
Destroy what is good on average in favor of what is not always bad?

bro… why the hell is marne going to 3.3… it has garbage guns and a sad crew count, its even worse the the litchfield which is at the same BR as it and doesnt cost as much as a cruiser, and thats considered the worst destroyer in game.

Ok, use it dumbly then and cry “Russia suffers”.

I think it’s pretty clear the wheeled vehicle he is talking about is the vextra. It’s OFL 105 F1 first appears at 8.7.

It can’t without the alphas also going up. they have better flight performance and loadouts at 8.7. They’re all also in the bracket where RADAR AA is introduced which already severly degrades CAS performance.
