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

BOL chaff is 1/4 the mass of regular CMs. It should be equal if not slightly stronger

Devs just don’t care… They care about selling premiums more then about their players…

Im not arguing that, just parroting what I vaguely recall one of the tech mods saying, hence the AFAIK.

I know. But they did care enough to give swedish 30mm tracers a year or two ago so it cannot be that hard to change a couple damn parameters to make the french 20mm usable.

BOL chaff is incredible weak actually

let me go bother gunjob and get back to you with results, i feel that will be more productive than defending point i only vaguely recall.

I think the j8f deserves irccm missiles, the f4f has 4x irccm and 4x arh missiles at the same br. Although j8f has better fm, I think it’s a decent trade off. Although f14b atp is so dead, I think gaijin can just add f14d with 9m or just give it 9m, it’s just so useless at 13.0

Yeap, there is one more problem… 90% of players don’t care about minor nations like France, Italy, Japan and others. They only care about Germany and USSR with USA and don’t even think about other nation. So why the devs must be worried about 10% of players neither…

I mean just go back to saying they addwd tracers for swedish 30mm. Sweden is a minor nation and they got tracers so the ground strike aircraft became usable.

Why cannot france get the same treatment?

Oh I know. It’s because it’s France and french mains don’t deserce anything nice according to gaijin.

Maybe you are right here, but anyway… Gaijing won’t going to do anything unless it’s something about main nations… I will repeat myself, leclerc was bugreported years ago and bugreport was accepted years ago but nothibg change… Why? Coz noone care…
What we even about, mate, we still don’t have random maps…

Well, it had seperate Chaff Dispenser like Mirage 2000, that will be more something than BOL.

And also, honestly, I don’t mind putting F-14B up to 13.3, hell, the US don’t have 13.3 aircraft anyway. Just give it AIM-9M so it can be more competitive, its top speed also sucks making F-14B a flying brick when you turn too much.

Indeed. To be honest I don’t even know why this thread is still open. It’s literally the longest running BR change theead.

I don’t think f14b should move up to 13.3 even if it got 9ms its radar is too horrible. The 14d can be put there

Coz Gaijing doesn’t care about this one…
┐( ̄ヘ ̄)┌

I want someone at gaijin to justify the BR of the 11.7 tornados or the 10.0 Q-5s, or the F-104S ASA without relying on their efficiency metric

What makes those planes worthy of that BR in RB?

Also good luck facing an Su-7 in your vampire lmao, why is gaijin just compressing 7.0-10.0 even more. There are even worse 9.3s that can move down instead, but instead they choose a fast attacker played by a bunch of bad players.

Yeah the vampire has no business being 8.0.

And I spaded 2 of them so I onow the struggle. Even in downtiers you can sometimes barely do anything because you just have no speed.

why is the F-15E and F-15I RA’AM exempt from being pushed up to 14.3? they are just as oppressive as all the other planes being pushed up, just not as prevelent

They are not as good as the vehicles being pushed up. All they can do is BVR, they lose almost every fight when an enemy gets close. Good early game presence, decent mid game presence and absolutely abysmal late game performance

Vehicle: F-16 Block 15 ADF (USA)
Gamemode: ARB / AAB

BR: 13.3 >> 12.7 with AIM-120 deletion

Reasoning: USAF started upgrading their Block 15s before the service entry of AIM-120 missiles, therefore equipment of AIM-7 Sparrows are realistic, unlike the Italian leased ADFs. Considering the existence of other F-16 variants between Block 15 ADF and Block 50, there is no need to move the vehicle from 12.7 to 13.3 with an unnecessary modification.

Eh… I think it does at close range. But plenty of BOL carriers in SARH BRs
