Planned Battle Rating changes for April 2025

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.

Gepard/ ItPSV Leopard/Type 87/PGZ09/ ZA-35/ XM246
8.3–>8.7/9.0
These vehicles all utilise the 35mm Oerklion cannons and I never see them being used for actual AA. These SPAA are better at destroying tanks than aircraft and I’ve excluded the Chieftain Marksman from the list due to it being incredibly slow and so much less effective as a tank destroyer. The XM246 and ZA-35 should recieve the APDS rounds found on other vehicles with the 35mm cannons and move up, as around 8.3 there are quite a few light vehicles.

Mode: Realistic

Vehicle: Strv 103C
BR Change: 8.7 < 8.3

Reasoning: it can barely fight in its 8.7 BR thanks to its wonky aiming. that you seem to have given up on fixing. and you want it at 9.0? i will get dunked on left and right. its not fast enough or can aim quickly enough for it to be remotly usefull in 9.0. and its armor will be useless since everyone fires darts. please keep it at 8.7 or lower it to 8.3

So… When will that happen?

We’ve had 2x BR changes, and 2x Major updates since its been possible to add new SB brackets with the introduciton of 14.0.

and it still hasnt happened.

Also, they’ve been handled in BR changes every single time previously

I agree with the Up tiering of the Sabra Mk1 as it is more or less the same as the 120S from America just with slightly different armor.

As we have already said before (and previously answered you directly), there are no plans to remove HAC.

It was a real helicopter program developed with the French, with French weaponary and tested by France.

The French community directly requested and suggested this helicopter probably more than any other.

Vehicle: T62
Gamemode: Ground Realistic
BR Change: 8.7 —> 8.3
Reason
1- The armour is almost identical the the t55a,

2- The cannon may be superior in terms of apfsds but the versitility of the 100mm cannon having a better ammo selection balances this out. The sheer damage of 100mm aphe makes it viable enough.

3- The t55a also has a roof mounted .50 cal machine gun, something extremely usefull against light vehicles, spaa and helicopters, something very previlent at that br.

4- As well as all this, the t55am1 is the same br as the t62m1, they have the same upgrades, different gun (The t62m1 is far more superior to the t55am1 when compared to the t62 against the t55a) but sit at the same br. So why does the base T62 sit higher than the base T55A?

Mode: Realistic

Vehicle: Strv 103C

BR Change: Stay at 8.7

Reasoning:

  • This vehicle has only an added APFSDS shell compared to the other Strv 103s at BR 8.0
  • The Strv 105 at the BR 9.3 has the same APFSDS stock
  • The 103C has no turret
  • It’s front can be penetrated at this BRs without any problems
  • It takes 1 shot to immobilize it, making it completely open to enemy fire
  • Similar BR (9.0) vehicles have the same APFSDS statwise and also have a laser rangefinder as the 103C, with additional added mobility/versatility by having a turret.
