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

F104J 10.3→10.7
F104g CN 10.7→10.3
104j have more aim9J but at lower BR

Has an afterburner. Can’t be same BR as MiG-17AS

VT-5 11.3→11.0
VT-5 should remake it armor and should have BTA-2 at such a high BR but -5° and slow 5s reload when 90105 in only 10.3 and have a similar performance

how to explain cl13b and f86f40 at same br ?
same as sagittario 2 and ariete
not a excuse but only bias to F5

Thoughts on the EJ Kai going down to 12.0? It is better than the other 12.0 F4s but also not worth 12.3 considering the Hornet is the same BR. Yet another example of why compression is screwing certain planes.

Mode: Ground Realistic Battles
Vehicle: Lvkv m/42
BR Change (with correct slsgr m/483 HE-T shell and AP standard from AMX-13 DCA 40) (Bug Report Reference): Concomitant balance change without BR changes

Reasoning:
The Lvkv 42 currently uses HEFI and SAP-HEI shells from the L/60 gun, which could not be fired by the Lvakan 48 (L/70). Replacing these with historically accurate slsgr m/483 HE-T shells and the AMX-13 DCA-40 AP round fixes anti-air performance without changing ground vehicle balance. Ground penetration stays the same, so BR 4.7 remains appropriate.
This corrects the historical ammo bug reported by Mcpuff (link).


Mode: Ground Realistic Battles
Vehicle: VEAK 40
BR Change (with correct slsgr m/483 HE-T shell and AP standard from AMX-13 DCA 40) (Bug Report Reference): 7.7 → 7.3 (Recommended)

Reasoning:
The Lvkv 42 currently uses HEFI and SAP-HEI shells from the L/60 gun, which could not be fired by the Lvakan 48 (L/70). Replacing these with historically accurate slsgr m/483 HE-T shells and the AMX-13 DCA-40 AP round fixes anti-air performance without changing ground vehicle balance. Ground penetration stays the same. And due to very weak limited armor and poorly placed ammunition placement and a basic radar, BR 7.3 better reflects its overall capabilities.
This resolves the historical ammo issue noted by Mcpuff (link).


Edit: Response to feedback.
Edit: Made it simpler and more like the bug report.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

it shouldnt move. its at a perfect BR. the thing is so light any autocannon can destroy it. even AA’s.

Air Simulator

F-86K 9.3 → 9.0

Heavy, compresses heavily, lacking in flight performance vs other 9.3 subsonics

J35XS 10.3 → 10.7

(Up to) 6x AIM-9Js, decent radar and IRST, a mere 30kph slower than say… F-104G at 10.7, which it outmaneuvers in any situation. It is easily one of, if not THE top fighter at 10.3

JH-7A AIR AB/RB/SB 12.3→11.7 it perform like a F-111c but even slower
or add PL8B and PL5E2 as a historical load out

So we should send MiG19 down BR? It’s same BR as MiG21 as well?

It’s going nowhere.

So sweden loses their only 4.x SPAA/TD im gonna have to say no

J7E AIR RB 11.3→11.3
Add PL5C to balance the bad BR that is much too high for a jet with low ammo, low top speed and only 4 tailing IR missile

Decompression I think is the only solution, or giving it the AAM-3s it was in late service with.

Vehicle : Merkava Mk. 1 (USA)
Gamemode : Ground RB
Change : 9.0 —> 9.0 (no change)
Reason : Besides completely ripping apart the lineup, this vehicle doesn’t even overperform stat-wise relative to what it is (rare event vehicle which is mainly played by very experienced players) and misses alot of goodies that come with almost all other Merkavas (thermals, much better shell, great reverse) while it would only sit one BR step below the other early variants, esp. the 2B.

Ah, just noticed they do plot the data per month. For example, Leo1 winrate right now, lol:

Spoiler

Vehicle : Object 140
Gamemode : Ground RB
Change : 8.3 —> 8.3 (no change)
Reason : This vehicle is quite similar to the T10M and I don’t see any reason for this change, esp. since it is not equipped to go to such a high BR. If you actually go through with the change to 8.7, you better move the Object 279 to AT LEAST 9.3 since that vehicle is so much better in every way.
0.3 BR difference between these two vehicles would be a hilariously bad joke.

Ground BR need to be decompress. type90 +0.3 to type 10 is so absurd, leveling up the top BR can help game enveronment better.
