Planned Battle Rating changes for April 2025

Overall Feedback:
Honestly, most of the BR changes here look really good!

One Suggestion I’d Like to Add:

  • Mode: Ground RB
  • Vehicles: KV-1E (USSR) & KV-1B (Germany)

The Problem:
These two tanks are extremely strong for their BR. They feature exceptionally good armor—arguably better than the Tiger I in some aspects—and a solid gun. At 4.0, they face many 3.3 and 3.0 vehicles that simply can’t compete. Most of those lower-BR vehicles struggle to penetrate them, often only having one small weak spot to aim for. Even vehicles at 4.0 have a tough time dealing with them.

Suggested Change:
Increase the BR of both the KV-1E and KV-1B to at least 4.3, matching their current BR in Arcade Battles. This would align them with other similar vehicles like the KV-7 and KV-1S, which are also being moved to 4.3 and rightly so.

Please consider reducing the BR of the Chieftain Mk.3. It’s way too slow and lacks a laser rangefinder and a good round to compensate, compared to the olifant mk1, which has an LRF and an APFSDS to make up for it being slow. and please consider adding an lrf to the chieftain mk5, as it had one irl.

100% needed

Gaijin has had almost two years to do that and hasn’t. It’s time for it to go. You can’t even get community managers to acknowledge it.

I’ve already put something on the chieftain mk3, its just not up to 8.7 standards.

It is reported, but those reports get ignored

Tiger HAC should not be able to use rocket pods
Tiger HAC should not have ATAS
Tiger HAC should not have HOT 3

While The Tiger UHT, has Reports from YEARS ago, fir Missing Outer pylon rockets, outer Pylon PARS, missing Mistral AAMs, all the atuff which the HAC got from day 1 (On live) while the UHT still waits that one day an dev has mercy and finally kills it :(

I’d like to suggest ammunition changes for the following vehicles, with battle rating changes if need be.

XM1 - M774 (or XM774)

M60A3 TTS - M833

Vextra 105 - OFL 105 F2 (This one would most likely need a battle rating increase)

Mode: Air Realistic Battles

Aircraft: Q-5A

Change: 10.0 → 9.7

Reasoning: Its 23mm guns are hard to use and compensate with bigger lead, and it’s not as fantastic as German and Soviet counterparts, which are still placed at 9.3. I highly believe it should remain unchanged at the BR of 9.7

No thermals

There are some legacy vehicles that were introduced before the changes to night battles and NVD. All new vehicles introduced at lower BRs won’t have NVD.

@Smin1080p_WT with the Strv 103 now fighting even more vehicles that 1 shot it can we expect it to finally get better pen since the cannon is longer than that if the centurion or is this gaijin just saying they dint care as they’re just ruined the only viable lineup after 8.0 and before 10.0?

Didn’t mean to reply to you btw my bad

Used to be

11.7 is already a little bit of a stretch but I can at least see the arguments, but 11.3 is German main cope damn.

then what about the luchs A2? (I love when gaijin has a set of rules for most countries, and another set for the UK)

Why can’t we expand night to NVD BRs? Such a waste of the switch and the existing super cool IR spot lights visual effects

Luchs A2 has TVD, not NVD

Sim changes are generally handled seperatly from the standard BR passes.

If XM1 gets M774 then it goes 10.0
