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

Because it has less countermeasures?
45 on the ocu vs 120 in the 16C

Then don’t use AIM-120C if you prefer the AIM-120B. Nobody’s forcing you to use the better missile if you don’t like it. Hell, it’ll decrease your repair costs to not instal that modification!

It’s not a matter of preference - the 120B is objectively better.

I’m just saying that having the 120C isn’t a reason for the F/A-18 to have a higher BR

Entirely dependent on context.

C5s are better above 10km and when fired at a target in rear-aspect as they can be fired much further away / chase for a lot longer.

The optimal strategy would be to take both. Im too lazy for that on the Typhoon though so just run C5s

Mode: Ground Realistic Battles
Vehicle: Jagdtiger
BR Change: 6.7 - 6.3
Barely moves as it is, with power reduction would be almost unplayable considerind tons of HEAT shells on 6.3-7.7. No reload, no mobility, questionable armor, no protection against planes. Overall, in comparison to Su 122-54 for example (which also has HEAT on 6.7 and much faster reload) is almost useless in almost any battle.

Mode: Ground Arcade Battles

Vehicle: AUBL/74

BR Change: 6.7->6.3

Reasoning: it already suffers at 6.3 because it has no armor, mediocre damage and the tirret bounces off wildly. Putting it against more heavy tanks will make it unusable.

Mode: Ground Realistic Battles
Vehicle: Valentine 1
BR Change: 2.3 - 2.3
Much worse armor than Matilda has, basically the same stats in every other aspect, no reason to put it on 2.7 to face 3.7 whatsoever.

Mode: Ground Realistic Battles
Vehicle: AMX-32
BR Change: 9.3 - 9.3
This tank is basically Leo A1A1 L/44, just with 20 mm added, lousy spaced armor on current BR completely irrelevant. No reason for this tank to face Leo 2A4 and even more T-80 in uptier.

Challenger 2E
12…0—>11.7 GRB
Reason: This challenger suffers from having the lowest penning round in top tier and a 4 round ready rack.
however the major shortcoming of being slow has been remedied on this variant and i would assume it would be roughly equivelent to the M1A2 if not slightly worse

buff to ready rack (Should happen regardless)

Mode: Ground Realistic Battles
Vehicle: KV-2 (all 3 of them)
BR Change: 3.7 - 4.0
Considering new realoading time and deadly HE, it’s too OP to face 2.7, where some tanks (like British or Italian) still have guns from 1.0.

It is easier for me to skip the changes that are bad and just say the ones that are good.
GRB:
Su-25BM 11.0 → 10.7
Su-17M2 10.0 → 9.7
F-4C Phantom II 10.0 → 9.7
Yak-28B 9.3 → 8.7
All of these are good changes.|
Sabra Mk. I 10.0 → 10.3 , reluctantly this is a fair change.
PGZ09 8.7 → 9.0 , this is fine but it needs it’s actual depression angles.
(Object 140, ZA-35, XM800T) 8.3 → 8.7 , these are all good. I stand firm that the XM800T still needs to be removed from the game.
ZSU-23-4M4 getting Igla-S is good but move it up 9.3 → 9.7.
Moving both groups up to rank III is good.
All the reload buffs and debuffs are good.
While sad, if the King Tigers losing h.p. is historical then it’s fine.
Everything else for GRB is a harmful change and genuinely shouldn’t be added.
Genuinely horrendous. It’s a sick and twisted joke.

weird thing is… the Su-30 is still a better performing aircraft than the F-2000

like, at this point i think the issue might be with the matchmaker preferring to put italy with the worst performing countries, because the f-2000 is currently the 2nd worst 14.0 winrate wise, only ahead of the F/A-18C (american one, not the other ones)

it’s honestly quite incredible

this is a dumb question but how much better is Igla-S over the current Igla that the ZSU is carrying?

Would be busted at 6.3. I love the bloody thing and the mobility is going to change much. Your still going to be one of the slowest things to the battle.

pgz09 move to 9.0… The fuck are we supposed to use after 8.0!!!
And why isn’t the itpsv moving up to 9.0 as well, it’s where it should be.

object 140 8.7, why, it doesn’t have a laser rangefinder, have no composite, and a 100mm gun.

amx32 at 9.7 despite having terrible engine and basically nothing much going for it compared to what sits at the same br, and even lower.

As for air battles, it’s very simple: WHY ARE THER VAUTOURS STILL 9.0!!! The yak 28 B is at the same br while being supersonic and having FLARES. Do your job correctly gaijin, and manually move the vehicles that are off-meta because their stats aren’t representative…

One of the worse br changes yet.

ps: great thing to change the reloads, but you should change the brs accordingly, especially for the pv kv2 that is now 6.0 seconds and is tno longer balanced by its reload.

Posts with multiple vehicle suggestions are discarded by Gaijin. Have to make separate posts for each vehicle suggestion.

Challenger 2 Black knight
12.0—>11.7 GRB
Reason: This challenger is very much one of the better ones however it still suffers from the same things as the standard Challenger 2 but this time it comes with a Hard-Kill APS system which has caused the increase in br

  • buff to ready rack (Should happen regardless)

You have to ask?

You already know the reason.

its an improved missile, looks like a better seeker, larger warhead, longer range, and other improvements

F-104s.ASA 12.0>11.7 (preferably 11.3 but i think it should be done a step at a time).

It has an RWR that only tells you if your being locked, not direction nor launch warning i dont think. It is an F-104 frame facing mig 29s and such when all it can get is 4 9ls and a vulcan or 2 9ls and 2 aspides. (My tornado is at the same br with twice the missiles as well as a gun). That paired with the mediocre radar makes it more of an 11.7.
