Planned Battle Rating changes for April 2025

Mode: Air Simulator

Aircraft: MB.5 (UK)

4.7 → 5.7

Excellent speed, firepower, visibility, and ease of use thanks to contrarotating props. Its rarity is the only factor keeping it far below comparable aircraft like the Typhoon Mk Ib/L, Tempest Mk V, and Tempest Mk II which all boast similar speed, maneuverability, and firepower.

JH7 12.3 → 12.0 when the plane came out it was a worse Mig 23 ML and now after the FM nerfs of the Mig 23 its slightly better, it has the edge though with the missiles, but lacks a fox 1 option. 12.3 is obviously way too high of a BR. As it has a slightly better FM and better fox 2 missiles, I would…

yes please

Rooikat Mk1D 8.7 → 8.3

If it stays at 8.7 the dart should receive the long rod spall pattern. Right now it’s a 2kg dart that does less damage than autocannon APDS.

Mirage 2000CS4 12.3 → 12.7 if the Cs5 is now at 12.7 and doing okish there. Its basically the same plane - Maw but with a better CM drop pattern, as the Maw is useless in Air RB anyways and the Mirage 2000 Cs4 is a menace in the current MM, it doesnt make sense to leave that one there

T55 on 9.0 is ridiculous

Ground RB, VBCI-2(MCT-30), BR 9.7→9.3, The Bushmaster 30mm machine gun is not powerful enough for this BR. I don’t understand why the BR of an armored vehicle equipped with this machine gun is higher than the CV9030FIN, like the Japanese ICV(P) and RCV(P). At least the BR should be the same.

At this point just move the Tkx(p) to 12.0 and give it Type 10. Then it can be a proper part of the top tier lineup instead of sitting alone at 11.7

Either that or let Japan keep it’s lineup at 11.3 by not changing the Tkx(p) and type 81c

With the introduction of 14.0. It should be possible to add new Sim Brackets that accommodate 12.3 and 13.3 properly within the sim brackets.

It is ridiculous this is another BR change with no proposed SIM changes and especially no new Sim brackets.

Here is my proposal for new Sim brackets to be introduced this update

Vehicle: Tornado F3 Late
Gamemode: Air Sim
Change: 13.3 —> 13.0
Reason: It moved down in RB. When the ICE moved down to 13.0 it moved down in both gamemodes. It is unplayable vs 14.0s and there doesn’t seem to be the new brackets expected this change to accommodate 14.0s properly into sim

Prefered solution Add a 13.3 bracket and move the F4F ICE back to 13.3

Vehicle: Hunter FGA9
Gamemode: Air Sim
BR Change: 9.7 ----> 9.3
Reason: Whilst it is stronger than Hunter F6 (France) as it has slightly better engine and the Aim-9Es, it is massively outperformed by the Hunter F6 (Britain) and there is very little reason to ever use the Hunter FGA9 currently. Given it is also a very rare premium these days. I do not believe it would cause any issues at 9.3. It is also especially weak vs the supersonic aircraft that are all currently located at 9.7.

Aircraft: Ki-43-III Otsu (JPN)

4.7 → 4.3

Excellent maneuverability, but the speed of a fighter several BR steps lower and very limited WEP time. Enemies have to basically throw themselves at you to get kills, however I recognize that if you get close to someone they’re as good as dead.

Mode: Air Realistic Battles

Aircraft: B-29A-BN

Change: 7.0 → 6.7

Reasoning: The B-29A is very vulnerable against lethal jet fighters, as it cannot defend itself effectively with all its 0.50-caliber HMG turrets. Please consider lowering its BR slightly to allow it to face propeller aircraft more often.
