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

9Ms probably would already push the F-16A MLU to 13.7 based upon the F-16A OCU. If the MLU, which also has a better radar than the F-16A ADFs also got an increased CM count, it would 100% be 13.7 material.

The F-16A ADFs might be able to retain 13.3 due to having a much weaker radar than the rest, but it would be close.

I assume the F-16D retains a 13.3 BR due to the increased mass of being a 2 seater and the much weaker nature of the Derby

“Protection is only better against HEAT on the front, overall their armor is similar.” Up to heat including all auto cannon rounds. Which neither the puma nor KF41 can shrug off

Yes

I’d be fine with moving it up to 13.7 if it also received HMS, like the F-16AM and F-16A OCU (even though the OCU having HMS is ahistorical).

As for the F-16A ADFs, those lack HMS in reality, so they should definitely remain at 13.3 for the reasons already mentioned.

I’m also aware that the F-16D has HMS while sitting at 13.3, but given that it’s a heavier variant, the weight offsets the advantage, so I don’t have a major issue with it.

Then why don’t you play F-16C? You know what verities is?

China doesn’t have the F-16C yet, and unfortunately, I don’t think it’s possible to stop the F-16A ADF from getting its AIM-120s. They appear determined to go through with it.

China have tons of other choices and can you count aircraft in 13.3 for me how many of them compare to 13.7? And why do we need more similar aircraft? And you guys keep telling it copy and paste? Like that?

I love how the OCU can get ahistorical HMS but the worst 14.0 in game cant lmao

I want it to be the Real OCU not this Frankenstein OCU you can look at here

Ive been wanting real gripens for years so best of luck to you on that front cause Gaijin definitely doesn’t care.

I’m not one of those people who complain about “copy-paste” vehicles. I don’t really care if they’re similar. I’m only concerned with making sure aircraft like the F-16A MLU, which is getting a BR increase, remain relevant in today’s meta.

I don’t really mind if it stays at 12.7, but I’m doubtful because of Gaijin’s decision. To me, the sensible options would be either 13.3 with AIM-9M and without HMS or 13.7 with AIM-9M and HMS.

Uh maybe only MLU is ok for this case but Other ADF I think they should be at 13.3 but AIM-9M is not really need at all if add AIM-9M they should move up to 13.7 and F-16C is already there.

And the lack of historical evidence for the change.

if they make the chinese mlu stage 2 upgrade it would basically be the 13.7 french f-16, which both should get radar hmd btw

also french f-16 should get scorpion hmd

How about no?

Is it “nerf everyone” except Britain season now?

why is the super entendard at 11.0 then???

Sounds more like a skill issue

lol straight crazy. Anytime I see the namer, seems like it’s invincible to whatever I can fire at it, but the freccia? Only kills me when it catches me off guard.
