Planned Battle Rating changes for April 2025

So how would the F-15J be any different to the F-15J(M) if the F-15J got Aim-120s?

Q-5A/Q-L Air RB
9.7(10.0?!!) → 9.3
In AIR battles It’s a worse performing Mig-19 without missiles that has a handful of flares. That’s it.

they are literally moving up the AM-1 too

The F-15J(M) is the newest F-15J variant outside of the F-15JSI, in the future it’s going to recieve stuff like the AAM-4B/AAM-5B, as well as a potential IRST pod it could carry. This, along with the fact the plane is already gimped in several ways (Missing a MAWs system, AAM-4 significantly underperforming), will mean the F-15J(M) is going to end up raising in BR substantially, likely by the end of the year.

Sherman 2/M4a1 sherman
either move M4a1 up to 3.7 or lower sherman 2 to 3.3, they are identical tanks in separate trees the BR difference is illogical

Harrier T10
Move up to 12.0 Give it aim 9M missiles to give distance from the tech tree and squadron sea harriers

Upgrade to full options export vehicle specifications with the electronic turret traverse so it wont be mediocre at 8.0, facing XM800T which are fully stabilised and infinitely faster in gun handling is not the fairest fight at all

I think 9.0 is too high.

8.7 seems more reasonable.

Keep in mind that it doesn’t have a LRF, nor does it get good APDS (unlike the Chieftains).

I wanted to comment with some suggestions but im honestly so done with this… every time and i mean EVERY time they change the BRs more than half of the changes are just out right horrible and the rest are arbitrary and pointless. Its so clear the devs just look at numbers they think somehow mean anything and base everything on that while actually having no experience in the game, the ignorance of the devs in game design is astounding and witnessing this for almost a decade now is getting really exhausting

reduce to 7.3

unpleasantly sluggish and poor handling for a 7.7 scout and cant survive MG fire

GRB:
Tornado IDS MLU (RET8)
11.3 → 11.7

Reason, has much more guided bombs as option (3 times more than the 1995/ASSTA1 at the same BR) while still having the chance to get the Correct pods wirh MAW the RET8 normally Carrys

Or, leave the RET8 at 11.3, but move the ASSTA1/1995/GR1 down to 11.0

GRB:
Tornado IDS 1995
11.3 → 11.0

Reason:
Unlike the GR.1 or ASSTA1 who have LJDAMs or PG500 and so on, the 1995 has just its 4 GBUs without any other guided weapons

move up to 7.3

there is no business having a Milan missile carrier at the same BR as the tiger 2, this is ridiculously unfair for ww2 enjoyers

Mode Ground RB
Type 16P/FPS
9.3 → 9.7
Reason being the 8.3 vehicles this gokart can see are absolutely useless against it when it decides to never be overpressured and eats shells such as 130mm and survive with no issue.

Or once again put the IS-7 back to 8.0 GRB as it is nowhere near as good as once used to be due to current meta of light vehicles and autocannons.

But im sure everyone would cope if the is7 went down so hoping that the top end 9.3 will have the worst offenders go up in br.

Remove apds and move to 7.7 to fill SPAA gap

You forgot about Israeli 8.7.

Its more likely they d add a new variant of the F-15 for all that as to avoid creating a notable gap in the tree

Sorry but this is ridiculous.

Big hard no.

We have the Harrier Gr7 for that.

One of the main reasons that myself and a few others wanted something like the Harrier T.10 (we originalyl wanted the Gr5A) was to add a Harrier II with 9Ls on the British TT as a direct equal to the AV-8B(NA). To give it 9Ms would whack its BR back up to an unfun BR

Given Aim-9Ms and 2x more BOL, it would just be 12.3 alongside the GR7

I agree with a lot of this, including the XM8. My comment from earlier included the XM8 and a bug report someone made pointing out that issue. Wish they would give it another look.

But also, if you were to lower the Skink BR for Britain, shouldn’t the same occur for US?
