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

Mode: ARB
Plane: Mirage IIIE
BR: 10.7→10.3
The 3E is noticeably heavier and less agile than the 3C (10.0) while sharing the same missile kit
This is to include an RWR and countermeasures, alongside a very slightly improved engine.
However, .7 BR for some countermeasures and a directional RWR, while taking the flight performance hit, is not justified. It should sit at 10.3 alongside the 3S, which has a superior radar, RWR and radar missiles, whereas the 3E has much better IR missiles.

Mode: ASB
Vehicle: Seafire LF Mk.3
BR change: 5.0 > 4.7
It is not any better than the Spitfire F Mk9, could probably even go to 4.3

no lmao. Not even close. The best bvr missile in the game is r77-1 or mica em. 120s are some of the worst fox3s in the game

Please lowe the F-4F early’s BR to 10.0. Maintaining a BR of 10.7 with just the AIM-9J without countermeasures is too harsh.

Considering that the F-1 and F-104J, which only have AIM-9J, are at 10.0~10.3, it is quite unreasonable.

Vehicle: Haruna,Kirishima,Kongó
Mode: all
Rank: all to V or VI

Reason: as of righ now only the Kongó sits at Rank VI while its sister ships Haruna and Kirishima are Rank V for no reason and sharing the same BR.
Therfore i propose that either Kongó moves to Rank V with a RP reduction or its sister ships move to Rank VI so all of them are in line.

This just Bugs me that their Rank is not the same despite beeing basiclly the same Ships since either option could help with the Naval grind for Japan in Form of a RP reduction or less ships needed for Rank VII if you got one of the event ships.

Mode: ARB
Plane: J7D
BR: 10.7→11.0
The J7D has absolutely bullied 9.7→10.7 for months now. It should NEVER have been moved down from 11.0, where it sat alongside the bis.
The J7D is a MiG-21MF airframe with an upgraded engine, and is fitted with the Magic 1 and PL-5B, both of which are extremely potent rear aspect IR missiles.
I believe the J7D is just as good as the MiG-21bis (11.0) and so should sit at the same BR.

And it has no AESA radar or any hyper-maneuverable Fox 2 at it’s disposal

who even planned these changes? like begleit but not 2s38 and bmds and bmp 3? mostly german and chinese vehicles get nerfed?PT-16/T-14.mod at 11.0 that can get uptiered to 12.0 is a joke it has no armor unlike the 2a4 it has the same round as the 2a4 no thermals and only thing special abt it is maybe mobility and autoloader no way it should face top tier mbts by being bscly a leo 2k but with autoloader also i dont get the tiger II nerf if the sla report only shows some engine pictures and the normal tiger II report you cant even access due to a error also MSC at 11.0 is a joke aswell and why does the amx 32 go up? starting to feel like people who make these changes just look at the vehicles on paper and not play them.

Mode: Air Realistic Battles
Vehicle: F-14A IRIAF
BR Change : 13.0 → 12.7 (12.3 with change)

Subpar missiles and avionics compared to planes even it faces in a full downtier. Flightmodel and acceleration lack too. Completely undeserving of 13.0 compared to planes of the same BR.

Suggested change: Remove the Fakour and R-27R1 from the aircraft and rename the model to “early” and later reintroduce a late model.

I’ll have to test it out.

Saying this with certainty is a bit naive.

Only way to solve compression is to push things up and then create additional BR steps.

why is the MICA a good BVR missile???
It’s between the AIM-120C-5 and R-77-1 for extreme range, and the R77-1 has a very slow platform

Ozelot was always better than SAM ZSU.

And what’s the point of it then, dude?

Mode: ARB
Plane: J7D
BR: 10.7→11.0
The j7d might be the single most undertierd plane in the game. It has arguably the best non irccm missiles of its br and even the entire game. It has no reason to fight flareless planes in downtiers nor should it be grouped with the rest of the 10.7s

so what this ends up being, is a regular tomcat-A?
Just to introduce a different F-14A IRAIF later?
This makes no sense.

Significantly harder to notch. Arguably on par with the AMRAAM at 20 km shots

Mode: Air Realistic Battles
Vehicle: F-14B
BR Change : 13.0 → 12.7

Subpar missiles and avionics compared to planes at it’s own tier. Completely undeserving of 13.0 compared to planes of the same BR.

Suggested change: Give it the Aim-9M and fix the Aim-54C Phoenix missile to it’s true statistics.

pretty sure it’s the same, the smaller fov doesnt really do anything

just go cold… Sure the MICAs are harder to notch but they’re very good WVR and slightly lackluster BVR
Slightly worse than the AMRAAM B at 20km shots (TTT) , the best WVR missile in game.

For extreme bvr the r77-1 is better but sub 20km mica just has the upper hand with the better seeker
