Planned Battle Rating changes for April 2025

Char25T

8.0 to 7.7

The char25T should go back to 7.7 for a number of reasons, one it faces many opponents that are technologically superior in nearly every way. Such as the T55s and XM803s that have kinetic penetrators exceeding 300/350mm while the char only has 200mm APHE, no stabiliser and no laser rangefinder. It was never overpowered at 7.7 it was able to be taken out by alot of tanks at 6.7 and its round was able to be stopped by most armour configurations at 7.7, being at 8.0 made it fight more advanced tanks while being inferior itself. I understand its speed and reload was a factor but that was its only upside. Please let us have it back. It was great to use it since it was one of the only tanks in France 7.7 to have a APHE round.

Guys, a reminder please to stay in topic for this thread for battle ratings.

There are plenty of other topics on the forum and throughout to discuss other elements, suggestions or issues without derailing this topic for others trying to follow along.

Thank you

Vehicle: MiG-21SMT
Gamemode: Air Realistic
BR Change: 10.3 —> 10.7
Reason Undertiered at the current rating, where it can use it’s great flight performance, plentiful countermeasures and undodgeable missiles against way worse aircraft with no flares.

nah its okay to move it up. i regularly get 10 kill games with it, its only downside being its armor. moving it up really only ruins your full even 8.7 line up

sorry

There is also no lineup to play it with except the AMX 30

Mode: Simulator Battles

Vehicle: Su-27SK / J-11 / Su-33

BR Change: 13.3 > 13.0

Reasoning: The inferior avionics of the early Su-27 series (poor RWR, poor radar) make it unviable in the current Sim matchmaker, as currently, these jets will always face 13.7 and 14.0, which makes these planes obsolete as there is no reason to fly them out as opposed to the Su-27SM or the J-11A/B.

Here we go again. Another attempt to save heavy bombers.
Air Realistic Battles
Tu-4 (all)
8.0 → 7.0
At its current BR Tu-4 constantly meets planes, that are way faster and often armed with air-to-air missiles. Tu-4 can’t win matches or play effectively, because if enemy team ignores you, you’ll never get any kills. Also, there are many fast planes with bombs and airspawns on close BRs, that can reach bases much faster, so bombing on Tu-4 is also worthless.

Mode: Ground Realistic Battles

Aircraft: AMX-40

Change: 10.0→ 9.7

Raising the AMX-40 tank to 10.0 is unacceptable. Compared to the Leopard 2K, its sight magnification, protection, and turret rotation speed are all significantly worse. The AMX-40 should not be raised in RB, or at the very least, it should receive some buffs.

Whats this “everything better” you speak of

J7W, air RB
BR: 6.0→6.0 but give its airspawn back, or move it down to 5.7
Being an interceptor in-game, it lost its airspawn a while back. There’s honestly no reason for it, as its flight performance is rather poor compared to counterparts such as the hornet, who has an airspawn.

You are not the only one and it’s because:

A) someone has already posted the reports
B) I asked that it be kept on topic. These reports have nothing to do with the topic.

Vehicle: M1 Abrams
Change: M833
Abrams is currently having a hard time with just M774 APFSDS. M774 is not enough to deal with 10.7+ targets. So M1 Abrams should receive M833 to make it playable again.

It will also ruin the 9.7 lineup which is the only good one France has at high tier

T-64B and Sabra were contemporaries at 9.7. One moved up to 10.0 and other one didn’t which brought up this discussion in the first place.

Try playing the game maybe ?

But i like getting nukes in the yak9ut…

Tbh though i dont really see them that much, grandted i dont play alot of 4.0 ish br but i do play around 5.7 every now and again and i dont really see them spammed as much.
