Planned Battle Rating changes for April 2025

A tank faces stronger vehicles in an uptier, shocker.

I guess we are also going to move the M1, T-80B, UD/DU1, Challengers down to 10.3 along with the Leopard 2s for the same reason?

Or is this another case of “not my tanks, not my problem”?

Same goes the other way around. Every decent player I know or see online has at least a 2-5 K/D in it at 9.0, which is not all due to skill lmao.

Yes, because in the current BR system, they do not belong to 11.7

Not true. Also the 279 already stomps 9.0, can 1 shot lolpen almost everything it faces and probably most importantly it’s BR range is 8.0-10.0, not 9.0+.

Mode: Air RB

Vehicle: J-7D

BR Change: 10.7 → 10.3

Reasoning:
Horrible airframe and always face against uptier opponents with CW seekers (F-4E(J) and Mig-23) that leaves it in extreme disadvantage high up, and has no all aspect missiles.

cannot have base bombing as an alternative grinding route due to gaijin refusal to give it napalm bombs

It can constantly get to bases first and you don’t need IRCCM missiles if you play it right (not as a fighter)

Rip to:
2.3 (became 2.7 and the B1bis doesn’t have a lineup)
3.7 (Amx-13 went up, leaving the arl and other 3.7s without a backup light. the amx is also overtiered, and should be 3.7)
4.3 (ebr and amx-13 dca unfairly went up)
6.7 (amx-m4/amx-13 are going to 7.0)
7.3 (amx-50, Amx-13-90, and the aml-90 all went to 7.7)
8.3 (amx-30 dca went up because balancing AA on how good it is as an aa is beyond the snails capabilities)

Just because it’s a premium it doesn’t mean all premium vehicles should share the same BR. TURMS is nowhere close to 2A4.

Mode: Air RB

Vehicle: Super Mystere B2

BR Change: 9.0 → 8.7

Reasoning:
A plane with supersonic speed as its selling point, somehow always compress at transonic speed which makes it too slow to dodge even Aim-9Bs. It’s only selling Grace is access to napalm bombs.

It doesn’t even go supersonic at normal combat altitude!!!

It’s airframe is even worse then strike aircrafts like the lansen

Igla at 9.3 is inferior to the Stinger.

No

Vehicle: AMX M4
Game mode: ALL
Change: NO CHANGES, leave it at 6.7

It is just a bit better Panther (A,G,F). No rangefinder, no gun stabilizer, no APHE just APCBC solid, no NVD, no smoke grenades launchers, no 0.50 cal or 20 mm cannon, it doesn’t even have a smoke shell. It is just plain tank with autoloader gun which loads projectiles slightly faster than Tigers II on ace crew (7.5 vs 6.7 s).

If you have already decided to move it to 7.0 just give it 4 second reload - make it a tank with true autoloader.

STOP MAKING FRENCH TANKS UNPLAYABLE. GERMANY AND RUSSIA ARE NOT ONLY NATIONS IN THIS GAME.

Mode: Air RB

Vehicle: Kfir Canard

BR Change: 11.0 → 10.3

Reasoning:
9.7 missiles (AV-8C) at a 11.0 BR.

Only two of them!

The missiles are also horrible in a way that they aren’t CW SARHs that can frontally attack enemy planes with a lower chance of escape (since it requires notching which is relatively complex compared to just popping a flare)

Horrible double flares, low CMs, no IRST (hello J35XS!), radar serves no purpose other than annoying teammates, garbage DEFA guns inferior to 20mm miniguns, slow acceleration with bombs and not competitive enough against the most speedy base bombers (the only thing the plane is good at).

Against the uptiered opponents, such as Mig-23, F-4S, Mirage F1s, the plane itself is a exercise in frustration, especially with IRCCMs, that basically put an end to base bombing and laughs at dogfighters that show 1cm of their engine intakes.

F-4EJ at same BR has 4x CW SARHs, 4x similar IR missiles.

I need the ozelot in the 9.3 lineup 🙏🙏🙏

Mode: Tank RB

Vehicle: M1A1 HC/Clickbait

BR Change: 11.7 → 11.3

Reasoning:
The Abrams series tanks does not benefit from the strong hulls of late Leopard 2s (such as 2A7). All in all it is just a inferior Leo 2 (late).

the M829A2 is a excellent shell, but it doesn’t give that much benefits considering the weak spots are the same. It may give an edge against earlier Kontakt 5 Soviet tanks but that’s all. Maybe remove the A2 shells or something.

Vehicle: N1K1-Ja
Game mode: RB, SB
BR Change: 5.3 → 4.7

The (almost) slowest fighter at its BR. It turns quite OK, but Spitfires, Yaks do it better. On SB F4U4-B (BR 5.7) just wipes a floor with this plane. It has 4 cannons (2+2 gunpods) with only 100 bullets for each. In my opinion Bf 109 F-4 or G-2 are better planes than N1K1-Ja (much faster, comparable maneuverability, comparable firepower with gunpods), but they are placed whole 1.0 BR lower.

N1K1-Ja would be very interesting plane if we could demount gunpods. With additional ~ 20 km/h top speed and even better maneuverability it could stay at 5.3. Now it is just another aircraft which nobody plays and you very very rarely see it in battles.

The J-7D is perfectly fine at 10.7 its almost to good for the 10.7 already 4x PL-5Bs are insane for 10.7 the next plane with a similar missiles is at 11.3.

The J-7D is already dominating in a downtier to 10.0 or even 9.7. Planes without flares at 10.0 can be killed at extrem long ranges. + i has the flares and the easier to aim 25mm.

If the Br of the J-7D gets touched it should go up instead of down.

Mode: Tank RB

Vehicle: Challenger TES/OES

BR Change: 11.7 → 11.3

Reasoning:
Sad, unplayable sake of garbage that is a giant target to CAS, since it can only camp. You’d expect a tank with WW2 style HP/ton ratio to be heavily armored …it’s hull is worse armored than some WW2 tanks and is even more easily one shot.

A5C

ARB

10.7 → 10.3

It is an aircraft that does not belong to the 10.7, being inferior in almost all aspects compared to other 10.7s, 10.3 would be a better BR for it and to compensate, remove magic1 (the main reason why the A5C went up to 10.7)
