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

harriers are 9.7 already and they have less missiles and a worse flightperformance than the ayit.

9G’s are better than shafir 2’s and 9D’s, but i will take 4 great missiles over 2 slightly better ones anyday.

it literally had pretty much the best flight performance at tier and also countermeasures which makes you untouchable if you are aware of your sroundings

not really.
mig-19, ariete, f100, hunter f85a(the new one), f4d, every 9.3-9.7 mig-21, q5-early, su-7 all have better flightperformance than the ayit.

its going up because of its missiles, it should be 9.7 even if its flares went missing.

Some day the Harriers will hopefully be good enough to justify a BR increase, but at the moment, they are pretty mid in anything but 1v1s (bar the AV-8S and AV-8A’s large CM count, that gives them a lot of flexibility)

Mode: ARB
Vehicle: Wyvern
BR change: 4.7 → 5.3 or 5.7
Reason: Come on this should be pretty obvious. Absolutely insane straight-line speed/performance <3000m combined with good firepower and suspended armament that is similar to planes like the AD-2 at 5.7. If used as an airspawning fighter the Wyvern can singlehandedly prevent opponents from gaining sufficient energy to play against the rest of its team or outright kill large numbers of them. If used as a ground attacker it is able to wipe large amounts of tickets without the possibility of being intercepted (or instantly ending the game in <5 minutes if the map allows for it) or caught if the pilot has some awareness of how linear energy retention works. Britain at this BR range would have absurdly high win rates if the majority of Wyvern players weren’t so atrociously bad at the game.

World record was held by the ZA-35 for the longest time. It merely takes a fast vehicle, and YouTuber amounts of luck. Don’t be coy

Hmm, how is 4 missiles enough for anyone who doesn’t die within first minute of the match?

So that was a lie

Heres both the CV9030 and BMP-2, both take 4 shots to break the barrel, more if you hit down the barrel. They do the exact same damage.

So again the BMP’s have faster firerate and can break parts better, so either you again claimed some BS because you dont want the BMP’s to go up because you want to sealclub or you’re just a rampant liar which so far both are accurate

Mode: Air Realistic Battles
Vehicle: F-16 Netz / Netz MOD
BR Change: 12.7 → 12.3

Reasoning:Compared to aircraft of the same battle rating, the F-16 Netz/Netz(Mod) has nothing to offer, neither radar missiles nor IRCCM missiles. By this I mean that, even though it has Python 3 missiles, it cannot compete with the weaponry of the MiG-29, F-18C Early, and others. With that, I recommend that it remain in the F-16 A battle rating without advanced weaponry, meaning a battle rating of 12.3.

It’s 8.3 in GRB and it’s honestly one of the most fun tanks at that BR. It also helps that 9.3 usually gets sucked up in MM, meaning that you don’t see them that much.

or you could just move it up in grb instead of ruining it in air rb

M60A3 TTS (China)
DM33 → M774

There are existing, accepted reports that the ROCA M60 should have M774. I do not understand why the developers have chosen to add a shell that the ROCA does not operate when a historically-accurate option is available: Community Bug Reporting System

Ground RB: (Datamine)

  • F-16A-15ADF, F-16A-15ADF [ITA], F-16A-20 [CHN]: 12.0 → 12.7

nobody asked to touch F-16A-20 [CHN], China has no CAS fighter at 12.0 now 😠

So the BR changes are going forward as they are.

As usual, we all waste time giving feedback just for it to be ignored. And then they wonder why people despise them.

Air RB:

  • A-4N Ayit: 9.3 → 9.7
  • Su-17M2: 10.0 → 10.7

How flare-less turn-less Su-17M2 can be this higher than absolute powercreep A-4N Ayit!? Mirage IIIC is 10.0 by the way.
