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

they don’t want to make it spaa bcs it will get otomatic treatment and if not it will rise question of why otomatic is ammo nerfed, i doubt 2s38 carry like 99% apfsds like most people do irl and i dont think u need to limit the ammo for other vehicles like it too

Tornado IDS ASSTA.1
11.7>11.3
Reason: lack of flight performance and lack of advantages over the MFG, WTD in ARB (guided munitions aren’t significant)

I think most people can agree arb max BR should be 15.0
13.0 sucks for most jets, and it will still suck even tho stuffs going to 14.0
12.0 needs separation from almost all 13.0 jets, and same for 11.0 from 12.0.

Bring more br decompression so that more planes can have a better chance of doing something, rather than getting wrecked by something with better flight performance, weapons and technology.

I dont think it does. At least I remember gunfighting my way to a bomb in both the British Jags.

12.0 is an too much, it shouldnt face fox 3’s all the time, 11.7 is perfectly fine for where the a-10c is.

Also SdKfz 234/2 (TD) is left out of the BR change and should be included.

Remove or move Magic 1 modification to rank I-II.

Again, at 10.3, the plane without a missile is almost useless.

Mode: Air Realistic Battles
Vehicle: F-14B
BR Changes: 13.0 → 13.3
Reason: Give F-14B AIM-9M, it’s still one of worse aircraft in 13.0, it has been powercrept by the new Fox 3 meta, if ADF Series can be given new life with their AMRAAM, so does F-14B, Phoenix is no more as meta as now especially Phoenix is the only missile that don’t have angle gating, so chaffing once can permanently decoy the missile.

as a counterpoint, only having subpar sparrows and sidewinders against, rafale, EF, etc. just isnt it. I tried to spade the baz yesterday and it was misserable, you are outmatched at all ranges and all you can do is bomb bases. Although i agree that the F15 shouldnt face 12.0, neither should it face current 13.7+

Vehicle: Pokryshkin’s P-39N-0
Game Mode: Air RB
Change: 3.0 to 2.7
Reason: US P-39N-0 is at 2.7 and Pokryshkin’s P-39N-0 is the same plane, but slightly worse everywhere. It has no choice of belts for 37mm, so it is stuck with 50/50 AP/HE ammunition (it is not a bug, apparently), has no .30 cals in the wings and at the moment is at a higher BR than US one.

I didnt initially include the MLU in my list of Tonka Changes above because its still WIP and has the potential to get the buffs needed to justify being 11.7 over the 11.3 Tonkas.

Just the devs hate the Tonkas

Should have AIM-9L(I) tbh

Mode: Air Realistic Battles
Vehicle: Bf 109 Z-1
BR Change: 4.7 → 4.3

This vehicle is the same BR as the Bf 109 G-6 whilst having far worse handling and manouevrability, and a similar climb rate. The top speed is a slight improvement, but it is still nothing special. 4.3 would be a welcome breath of life into this unique and rare vehicle, whilst keeping it balanced.

You cant decompress by moving things down. There is only 1 way things can move and after trying to play 12.0 and getting uptiered every single match to 13.0 . this really needs to be done

Only 0.3 increase to top BR is crazy.

The US didn’t export the different belts for the 37mm during the war, and it actually should only be HE as the US never sold the AP belts so its technically balanced as it has something it shouldn’t.

counter arguement; add F-14D instead so we get all the updated weapons such as AIM-7P and AIM-9M without uptiering the F-14B any further
