Planned Battle Rating changes for April 2025

I don’t say or think this lol.

I do have far more games than most people, correct?

Do I have the most games? No.

Take it as you will though.

I agree

The Shvak 20mm are weak, taking typically 4-6 hits to kill a single plane.

Also, for some odd reason, the metal wings with spars only… can catch on fire… yup… brilliant.

There is also no air target belt, its fuel capacity means you have to be super cautious.

It’s best trait is being an energy fighter, but your controls lock out after 450 mph. And I mean lockout you best hope you can slow down.

BI 6.7 → stays 6.7

Amx-13 at 7.0?? Seriously? That thing has worse pen than the m41 and yet the bulldog gets to be at 6.3?
a tank with no armor and 202mm of pen at point blank does not deserve to be 7.0
AND THE AMX M4?? that thing is just a king tiger with no armor & he filler, only good things about it is mobility and penetration

Both those vehicles were fine at 6.7

now my 6.7 lineup will be able to meet m60s, magachs, t54’s, atgms, helicopters, strv103’s, rocket slinging vehicles and mid-cold war era mbt’s.

Also, if the M551 and the XM800T are being swapped, does that mean if I get the XM800T before they switch I could avoid having to get the M551 entirely, as I could just continue from the Xm800 after they swap?

Oh I do.

So you have an opinion over a vehicle you don’t own and do not know how to control? Classic…

It would be completely unfair to move the AMX-13 and AMX M4 to 7.0 unless the overperforming German 6.7 lineup is moved up first. Balance should come before arbitrary BR changes.

Define “much better”

if you can properly use your fast reload, it is more useful than merely 30-40mm more penentration.This is why french BRs keep going up.same reason as the japenese MBTs.

Why hasn’t the Fujin Training Unit received a BR increase? With a 4-second reload, it has overwhelming firepower against lower-tier opponents. Its rate of fire gives it a level of suppressive capability that’s simply too strong for its current battle rating.

Yes it is mobility is important in this br range and considering the magch 5 is slow and heavy it cant move up to face kpz 70 and t72
U can ask for the m48a2ga2 to go down it makes more sanse

I partially agree

I would say that the way Gaijin has already “nerfed” this plane was precisely in the sense that it is an extremely complicated plane to play for average players, you rarely find a good BI in your matches.

Could you change MiG-27 label to “Striker” since there is no longer an airspawn for striker aircrafts in top tier, there is no longer need of MiG-27 still labeled as “Fighter”.

And also, consider Tu-4 BR to 7.3, and YaK-23 to 8.3

Mode: air Realistic Battle

Vehicle:JAS 39 C(all)

BR Change: 13.7 > 13.3

Reasoning:JAS 39 C carries too few active missiles—only4—which significantly limits its combat capability. Furthermore, its radar performance is comparatively outdated among NATO aircraft currently sitting at a 13.7 battle rating. Its poor thrust-to-weight ratio and sluggish acceleration render it incapable of effectively contending with other aircraft of the same or higher rating. Its battle rating should be lowered accordingly.

Mode: ground Realistic Battle

Vehicle:JAS 39 C(all)

BR Change: 12.7 > 12.3

Reasoning:Similar to the suggestion I made earlier, the JAS 39C suffers from a weak engine, resulting in a poor thrust-to-weight ratio. When heavily loaded with air-to-ground ordnance—such as four AGM-65Gs—its manoeuvrability drops significantly, making it difficult to evade incoming active missiles or ground-based air defences. Moreover, its air-to-ground loadout directly conflicts with its ability to carry active missiles; when fully equipped with AGM-65Gs, it is limited to just two AIM-9Ms for self-defence. This places it at a clear survivability disadvantage compared to other aircraft at 12.7, and its battle rating should therefore be reconsidered and potentially reduced.

Magach 5 trades a bit of acceleration (2 HP/t) for much better armor against HEAT which is widely used at 8.0 and 8.3. It’s one of those undertiered Israeli vehicles no one talks about.

Imagine the hunter F6 being capable again man.
cant believe it sits at 9.7 while the mig21 for USSR can sit at 9.3, ro the mig19 at 9.3

the sraams aren’t even an excuse cause they have for a missile next to no range at all

No offense but the Type 81C does not make any sense to increase it’s BR. Yes its a fantastic AA but it gets no Radar or other form of counrering long range guided missiles like what it already faces from helicopters and planes. The updated BR will toss it into an even worse bracket.

Again its a fastastic AA, but entirely depends on your ability to see and launch your missiles at targets without any form of assistance. A player that knows you’re up and scanning can easily sneak by and hit you with a guided missile, etc.

Genuinely don’t see this as any sort of positive addition when it just hurts japanese 11.3 ground, a relatively popular battle rating to play.

Please do not make this change.

Mode : Ground realistic battles.

Vehicle : T64B

Br 9.7 > 10.0

Reason: the T64B has good optics, though lackign thermals. Decent speed and mobility bar the reverse rate for the 9.7 BR.
On top of this it has effective composites and of course the 125mm 3BM42 which is a good round even for 10.7 tanks.
The fact it stays at 9.7 while all the other 9.7s have moved to 10.0 is quite strange

(shir 2 included which has access to a round with over 70 penetration more.)

Yeah… Or for me in SB…it being the same BR as the Hunter F58 with CMs and 0.7 BR higher than the Belgium F6

Already commented on it, but forgot to mention, the Type 81C only gets a lock range of ~6km. Literal 9.3 missile AA (Santal) while worse in Gs, has the same lock range.

Does an AA with the same lock range as a 9.3 vehicle belong at 11.7 even if its missiles are fanstastic? Not to mention that same 9.3 AA has an actual radar for giving a heads up for vehicles?

Again, please don’t raise its BR, it genuinely does not deserve such a change.
