Planned Battle Rating changes for April 2025

Forgot to mention prior
A-7E 10.7 → 10.0 (for air, ground BR can remain as is)
It’s subsonic, loses all speed in a turn and doesn’t have very good armament. Yes it can bomb bases but it’ll be very slow doing so and won’t get to any bases before the rest of the team.

At Strv 103, when the BR was 8.3, I wrote a bug report that the reload is actually 2.5 seconds according to the documents, to which the answer was that the reload is a balanced value and if it is reduced, the BR will be raised.
Since then, the BR of Strv 103 has been raised twice, but they cannot give the reload as it should be.
They change their boots in a jump and nothing more.
103

Not a mistake.
The reload speed is a balanced value (even for automatic loaders) and is adjusted at the discretion of the developer.
The developers know that these machines had a higher rate of fire.

edit: took a better picture


i took the picture just as the heli despawned. it despawns on the test drive map after flying to the right and the respawns.
it actually reaches a farther than 4km, but i couldnt get any more distance in the test drive map.
if i had to quess, its ~4.5km against a still target.
much better reach than sidam or even zsu-23.

from the files.
““attackMaxDist”: 2500.0” the max range of the shilka is 2500m.

TBH even with magic ones the plane is still great, the guns are decent, not as bad as the 23mm on the soviets but not as good as say the 20s on the US planes.

the magic ones are still fantastic missiles.

I reckon without the magic 2’s it would be 11.7 easy days.

Its got a great top speed, good retention and has actually a decent radar to be fair, the MTi works on it really well.
The 530F’s are ass in ARB but ive had about half my kills in sim with them.

The RWR isnt actually that bad at all, if you know how to use it.

ive bet F18s with it in sim, 530F VS AIm7F.

“attackMaxDist”: 2500.0" thats for the ai. so ai wont attack from farther than 2.5km with the shilka

Ehh. Id still be hardpressed to consider it superior to a Tornado IDS or F-4E with 2x Rear-aspect IRs. Maybe if it had 4 or like I said, half decent SARH it would be higher, 2x Magic Is even on an amazing airframe, would be hardpressed to do much at 11.7, even if it was only facing 11.7/12.0s

No one wants night vision on it… we want the THERMALS that it can use.

You know, like the Weisel, which is 7.3, or the Marder which is 8.0 or countless other vehicles that are NOT 10.0.

Obligatory “Do you need to be a chef to know the food is rotten”

Why don’t you want its BR to be raised? Afraid you can’t seal club with the plane anymore?

As OP the BIas is in different scenario, its more of a game breaking vehicle in SQB and that thing sells for the price tag of 300 dollars, tbf i want it banned in SQB and its still OP but the number is so low it doesnt matter

did every version have the better firerate?
it would be fun if they gave the higher br strv 103 the 2.5s firerate and put it at 9.7 or 10.0.
it would still be very situational, but also very powerful when it works.

Type 90 is pretty in line or arguably worse than the M1A1 at the same BR.

If you move up the Type 90 you also have to move up the M1A1, but Gaijin won’t do that because it would prove something they don’t want to accept.

Please lower the BR of the Kurnass 2000 in Air RB. It’s just not competitive in the current meta, only having access to IR missiles slightly better than the Aim-9L at 12.3 while the enemies you face have access to much more powerful Fox-1 and Fox-3 missiles.

i agree with you here, but gaijin would probably prefer to wait a while because of the somewhat recent turret ring nerfs to LEOs & abrams.
imagine the amount that the usa mains would be crying if they raise it now.

its funny how the m1a1 is a direct upgrade to the ipm1, but both sit at the same br. raising the ma1a to 11.7 would finally give a reason to use the ipm1 again.

true

also hiii

yes, but actually shooting beyond 3km results in the shells self-destructing

why not 15.0 right away, it’s so easy to operate (no)

Top tier jets moving to 13.0 for GRB is great win.

But we also need to move peak BR for tanks as well. Top tier tanks should be 12.3.
11.3-11.7 br is always pulled into 12.0 matches. Brs from 11.0 suffer when uptiered which is most of the time.

Certain helicopters need to be bracketed. Too many of them too much BR and SL requirements.

Vehicle: Z-9WA
BR: no changes
Other changes: foldered under Z-9W
Essentially the same helicopter, with tigers being foldered I can see the same done to the Z-9s.
