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

XM803 9.0 → 9.3

Reason?
Too fast for 9.0, has good armor, and a good dart with a quick reload.

MBT - 70
&
KPZ - 70
(They’re the same tank pretty much)

Again like the XM803, they are too quick, have good lethality, good turret traverse, a good reload, decent pen.

No reason 8.3s should be able to see these tanks

24 seconds is with aced crews, which means the loader and commander are maxed, average players we find on the battlefield will still be running a 30s+ timer, which is still an extremely long reload for gameplay wise, there is a reason why IS-2 class is one of the most miserable vehicles to play even when it reload quicker than T30. By doing what is required to win the match, T29 is still a superior choice. I mean if you main T30, having a quicker reload timer will make you happier bro

Not for long, they’re trying to move the AMX-32 to 9.7

Bmp 3 9.0 → 9.3 is understandable.

BMD-4/4M 9.3 → 9.3
Because 0 survivability, less mobility than a Beglit, worse cannons than the Beglit, meanwhile it’s biggest advantage is it’s ATGMs that load in 4 secs, it only has 4 of them, and often they’re required to kill whatever your facing.

Also, the range finder + HE is terrible, it doesn’t range correctly, and often tosses the HE leagues short.

Long story short, the BMDs and the BMP are extremely similar, with their own sets of pros and cons, therefore they should all be 9.3

how is this plane at a higher br than the mig21 smt and f8u is beyond me

SIDAM 25 (Mistral)

9.7 → 9.3

This thing use only Mistral which is quite mediocre for SAM and 9.7 is too much for Mistral and SPAA that the main belt is HE only. And if it move down to 9.3 it can help most of the Italy 9.3 very well since 9.7 don’t have much tanks.

I mean the Rafale and EFT are just simply better than the Strike Eagles. However yeah you have a poont regarding the Su-30SM.

Define good dart lmao

bro you are wrong USA, GB, Italy, France, Israel have 5 sec Japan is the only with 4sec Sweden and Germany have 6 sec and only Russian and China tanks have a 7.1sec and the T-80BVM a 6.5 sec so its 7 countries with way better reload 2 with better reload and none with a worse one.

It’s actually a benefit to go up - more light vehicles to be found to eat.

Absolutely not.

Outragious claim. The BMD-4 is actively used to speedrun nukes within under 2 minutes.

Not even remotely a close comparison. Comparing a 57mm and 30mm + 100mm gun combo in that way is incredibly short-sighted.

The BMD-4 is faster than the BMP-3 with the same weapons and a faster missile reload time. The BMD could easily be 10.0 when IFVs like the CV9030/35 exist at 9.3.

Only if you’re firing at extreme ranges with the HE. The BMD-4 is not meant for sniping and using it for long-range artillery is unreliable. It’s a lightning-fast brawler.

They are not. The BMP-3 is inferior in every way to the BMD-4.

Yup. I don’t know why anyone would debate this change. All I’m thinking about is now I’ll have an excuse to use the T-64B and Khriz. BMD4, BMD4M, T64B, Khriz, various 9.3/9.0. Winning.

Mode: ARB
Vehicle: P-51H
BR change: 6.3 → 6.7
Reason: Incredibly dominant plane that warps the late prop brackets with its flight performance that can only realistically be countered by bad P-51H pilots, other comically overpowered planes such as the BI, or dogpiling it with jets.

The ZA-35 is more effective to do so, so should it be 9.7? It’s faster.

Oh right, the Beglit is borderline a crewless turret, the bmp3 / bmds aren’t lol, my mistake.

The BMD-4 is faster yes, NOT the BMD-4M (it shares the same transmission as the BMP3).

It’s a good joke that the bmds can be 10.0 to you but the cv9030 can be 9.3, the cv9030 has been known to tank a lot of damage, sure it could be argued to be 9.0, but it would clobber 8.0 light tanks.
You also forget, the cv9030 gets darts, the bmp, and bmd don’t. It’s called trade offs.

I’m glad you agree that the BMD-4 (Not the BMD-4M) is more powerful than the BMP-3, you’ve just agreed with me whether or not you realized it.

Yes the BMD-4 is better, but not as vastly as you make out.

T-64 is meh, and the Kriz is only good on a handful of maps, In very select positions/ situations. I’ve spaded that thing, the only thing that is worse is the Sturm S.

T-64 is made worse by the terrible, and extremely loud lawnmower engine sound

Mode: ARB
Vehicle: Yak-3U
BR change: 5.7 → 6.0 or 6.3
Reason: Another plane that laughs at the late prop bracket and dominates it with incredible UFO performance. Fits the <5000m furball meta with excellent climb, energy retention, acceleration, turn and top speed giving it options to deal with the vast majority of planes it can face.

I know. It’s a situational vehicle, that’s fine. My most memorable times in it are long-range heli snipes. I’m glad you agree that it’s silly to have BMD4 at 9.3, while the Khriz sits at 9.7, though.

Mode: ARB
Vehicle: Spitfire F Mk.22
BR change: 6.7 → 6.3
Reason: With the Mk.24 Spitfire and its 150 octane fuel moving down to 6.7, the Mk.22 Spitfire loses out on its slightly more forgiving matchmaking and is now strictly worse. When compared to the Mk.14 Spitfire, it gains small improvements that gives it more responsiveness at high speed, energy retention, linear speed and 4x Hispanos. However this all comes with an increase in weight. More importantly the Mk.14 sits at a far more forgiving 5.7 BR. As is typical of Griffon Spitfires, they all lose significant amounts of speed from radiator drag which is even more painful when having to face jets more often.

The bmd-4 can be a 9.7 it is the better vehicle. But the BMP-3 and BMD-4M do not share the mobility of the BMD-4.

But if we really want to get into it, the 57MM on the Beglit is far superior, not only does it get Proxy fuse, something the Bmps / bmds don’t. It’s 57mm is vastly better, breaking barrels, and tracks in far less shots than the 30mm the counterpart has. It also has good ATGMs, yes it has to be used stationary to fire the ATGMs, but the Beglit shares more in common with the 2s38, and not the bmd-4.

As you can clearly see the Beglit nerf, caused the bmp-3 / bmd nerfs.

I agree the bmp-3 should be 9.3, and so should the bmd-4m
