Planned Battle Rating changes for August 2025 (updated 16:00, 15.08)

It was one thing when the BMP-3 had a fairly low BR and then yes, it would have been a threat, but now the BMP-3 has the reloading of tanks from the 1940s in battles against equipment from the 1980s

what ? It has an autocannon bro thats what you are supposed to use. The atgm is the secondary which can take out tanks frontaly as a get out of jail free card.

F-15J(M) Changes

BR 13.7 > 14.0

I believe this change should ONLY happen if the F-15J(M) receives IRST and MAWS. The F-15E/I being the same BR as F-15J(M) despite being faster, better acceleration and IRST is criminal. Not to mention it has a plethora of A2G capability- which isn’t all that useful in ARB, but allows for F-15Es to destroy a lot of the AI ground troops.

GIving the F-15J(M) IRST would allow for it to be close to the F-15E in terms of capability- but having a better close range IR missiles, being lighter and better in close range.

Giving the F-15J(M) access to the J/APQ-1 MAWS would allow it to use its speed to escape other aircraft without having to worry about missiles from the rear, or not be snuck up on.

I do not like the changes that have been made towards the F-16A ADF, F-16AJ and the Italian F-16A ADF. I do not want the AMRAAMs (AIM-120 missiles) to be added and I do not want them to be at battle rating 13.3. ;D

Thank you very much :D

XM800T uptiered and moved after the M3 Bradley? Yikes, what even? This thing has a 20mm autocannon that only pens 66mm at most with its top belt and no ATGM, compared to the Bradley which does have ATGMs and a larger, much more penetrating autocannon. I don’t see why this should be after the Bradley, not unless it’s being reconsidered how similar autocannon only vehicles are balanced in general.

The BMP-3’s automatic cannon is approximately 2 times worse than that of the BMP-2.

F-16AJ is not getting AMRAAMs, only the ADF (US + ITA) and Chinese F-16A MLU

Agree
Light tank in 11.7 just like CV90120 have near 600mm penetration and 5s reload.There is no reason to let ags get 522mm penetration.

HMaS Fremantle (3.0) → (2.7) [Realistic]

This ship at best is nothing but a sidegrade to the HMaS Arrow found at 2.7. It is essentially a bigger Arrow with 3 .50 cals (controlled by AI) instead of the 1 by the Arrow.

Can somebody tell me why I should even bother crewing the MSC if its pushed up to 11.0? Like seriously? France’s 10.7 lineup wasn’t even FRENCH until the MSC came along and now its back to being only Leo 2s from the Netherlands. I might as well just skip straight to the production leclercs.

Because the German vehicles are too cool and many people like them, it has resulted in these vehicles having a very high KD.
Another point is that they hate Germany

That shit is diabolical. Gaijin can’t decide whether vehicles should perform under historical circumstances or under ideal circumstances. My favorite 6.7 vehicles get an engine nerf due to wartime constraints yet the Yak-9K gets a bullshit APHE round for a cannon that IRL would break the airframe.

Given my luck, the next update will bring back the brittle armor debuffs that were removed because Gaijin decided to balance vehicles based on ideal circumstances.

No. Artificial stabilizer nerfs should not be used to balance vehicles. Stabilizers should be kept realistic to how they perform in real life, and the XM800T’s stabilizer would NOT only work at low speeds.

USS Newport News 6.7 to 6.3 in realistic and arcade battles.
Reason: ship lacks adequate anti-air, armor is lower compared to other heavy cruisers, and is overall more of a sidegrade to its 6.3 counterparts in the United States. Furthermore, this ship struggles especially when facing 7.7 vessels such as Scharnhorst and her sister.

dude the bmp3 is the best light tank of 9.0 if you cant make it work then its massive skill issue sorry

Could just leave the ADF (E) in a folder with the F-16A and have the F-16A ADF (L) be out of the folder. That seems the most realistic without looking odd. Or you can just make it a triple folder like the A6M3- which ironically the BR gaps fit this criteria.

4.0 > 4.3 > 5.0 is the same difference in steps as 12.3 > 12.7 > 13.3.
