Planned Battle Rating changes for April 2025

Vehicle: ZTZ99A, WZ1001LCT, VT4A1
BR: no changes
Other changes: add Spall liners, reload time 7.1s→6.7s.
of course, 6.7s is a balance consideration. I always suggest improve autoloader mechanism, if change the type of ammo, reload time longer. if constantly reload the same type of ammo, reload time faster.

worst survivability and firepower made those 3 MBTs lack of tactic value, the difference of mobility in toptier is not that much.

a-5c
ARB
change : 10.7 → 10.3

there is no reason for this plane to be at 10.7, its slower than most planes of the br, you only get 18 CMs that for some reason drop in pairs now, the guns are horrible and compared to other planes of the br it sucks at the 1v1

Vehicle: Z-10
RB BR: 11.7→12.3
Other changes: add 8xCM502KG, TY90 heat time 4s→2s
CN TT doesn’t have a toptier heli, of course if Gaijin could add Z-10ME in next major update, this suggestion can be ignored

change: stay at 10.0 but gain PL-5B air to air missile (if it outperforms move to 10.3)

It would be 10.3 with Pl-5Bs, 10.0 would be too low in my opinion.

i realized after i typed

Vehicle: JH-7A
Air RB BR: no change
Ground RB BR: 12.0→12.3
Other changes: PL5C, PL8 → PL5EII, PL8B, add 4*CM704

CN TT don’t have any IR anti tank missile, but some of other countries have at least 16 KH38MT or 12 AGM65D in total, that’s unbalance.

Kfir canard
ARB
BR: 11.0 → 10.7
reason:
while the 2 9Gs are fine the plane lacks in the countermeasure deparment, also the RWR is horrible and the aircraft lacks an actual radar

Vehicle: ZBD-04A
BR: no changes
Other changes: fix tail external fuel tank explode issue, add spall liners

It doesn’t equip 750mm pen missile, APS04 can’t even pen M1’s LFP, it lacks of capacity to against MBTs in the front, which can’t compare with BMD4s, so it should be buffed from survivability.

P-51D10
ARB
BR: 4.3 → 4.0

reason: this aircraft is basicaly identical to the p51D20, the only change it has is a bit more HP when on WEP, its not a huge enough difference to explain the higher br

Mystere IVA (all)
ARB
8.7->8.3

reason: its worse than the sabres and migs, no energy retention, no speed, the guns are nice but you cant really use them

Mystere B2 (all exept sa’ar)
ARB
9.0 → 8.7

same as before, the aircraft is very mediocre, bad engine, bad energy retention, its a bad pack at 9.0

Vehicle: VT5
BR: Stay 11.0
Other changes: Fix basic armor protection, add BTA4 or DTC02-105

Since there is no evidence to prove the level of VT5 protection, let’s look for a reference in the game, such as the TAM2IP, which weighs 33 tons. TAM2IP actually added a circle of composite armor skirts around it, which was 3 tons heavier than the original TAM. However, they achieved hull side KE 40mm, turret side KE 45mm, LFP to UFP KE 40-100MM, and turret front KE 100-300MM. VT5 does not have any additional armor on hull sides. instead of it, VT5 can reach 33 tons because it actual install NERA on turret, so the turret front protection should far better than TAM2IP, at least can’t be pened by 100mm BR412D.

Looking for a slightly heavier reference, the Super AMX30 weighs 36 tons and does not have any NERA. It can withstand LFP KE 100MM, UFP KE 200MM, turret front KE 50-100MM, hull side KE 45MM, hull side bottom KE 100MM, and Hull rear KE 30MM. Where else can a tank of this weight be penetrated by 12.7 hits?

Oh but why ebr1954 is still in 6.7?
I think it’s better than amx13.

Mode: Realistic Battles.

Vehicle: Kugelblitz

Change: 7.0 → 6.7

Reasoning : Germany 6.7 dont’t have powerful SPAA & air force, they need a powerful spaa to line up, kugel after several version nerfed, it doesn’t worth at 7.0

Uhh… because it has great mobility (full speed forward and reverse), ERA making it hard to kill with HEAT, an APS making most ATGMs around this BR useless, laser rangefinder, thermals, and a dart better than DM23 105…

People really overvalue stabilizers, they only prevent you from rushing around corners and such. Sniping and flanking still work great.

And now it’s going to be a lower BR than the AM-1 and AMD-1 which is kind of insane. It was already a lot better.

I think Q5L should not go to10.0 BR,it is not better than mig21s.VT 5 go to 11.0 should add Nera or better apfsds.The amx 40 in 10.0 is a joker,leopard is better than it,except NVD

It’s only Generation 1 anyway so the quality is bad.

In my opinion Gen 1 thermals are so useless I never use them. They really aren’t justification for a higher/lower BR in and of themselves.

mirage 4000 Land warfare BR should go 12.0, because there is no fox 3. There is no thermal imaging pod, which is difficult to capture the enemy, and there is no full direction pd. GG Air combat BR should go 12.7, because there is no good radar, only 8 short hands FOX2
