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

Even worse, is the Tiger 2 P BR staying the same after the nerf??? i Killed Tiger 2P with KV1 way back in the historical events… And i wasnt shotting at him to make a bounce turret trap, or any kind or weird shot like you have to do against IS3/IS4… I killed it hitting the main turret armor…

Meanwhile the biased sweeden tiger isnt getting any kind of hammer…

Jagdtiger should get reload speed decreased, if a T29 can reload in less than 20 seconds, a Jagdtiger can too with a way more spaced turret and 2 loaders…

And several sources states that it could reach 41kmh… and 38kmh sustained, NOT 34KMH

The Koln and Lubeck now have to routinely face heavy cruisers??? The Z4 is definitely not good enough to go to 4.7. The Z46 and Z47 don’t even get SAP and they’re being put at 5.0?? The Yugure, a downgraded Fletcher that doesn’t even get torpedoes needs to be at 4.7?

Which brain damaged idiots decided on these BR changes?

Mode: Air RB
Vehicle: Tu-4 (all variants)
BR Change: 8.0 → 7.3

Legacy BR rating. The Tu-4 regularly faces IR and even SARH missiles, against which it cant do anything.
On top of that, a lot of attackers have air spawn, which are treating the Tu-4 as a SL pinata.
The bases and bomb targets are also very unrewarding. The plane is so slow, that anything else reaches the bomb bases before you.
As such, you are left trying to survive long enough so the bases can respawn (5mins) and you can bomb something.
Should go down from 8.0 to 7.3, or to 7.7 at the very least, so it would face much less IR/SARH missiles.

Mode: Air RB
Vehicle: B-29 (all variants)
BR Change: 7.0 → 6.7

Legacy BR rating. In a better, but similar position as the Tu-4. Does not face SARH, but has chances of seeing IR missiles.
On top of that, a lot of attackers have air spawn, which are treating the B-29 as a SL pinata.
The bases and bomb targets are also very unrewarding. The plane is so slow, that anything else reaches the bomb bases before you.
As such, you are left trying to survive long enough so the bases can respawn (5mins) and you can bomb something.

moving the F-16s with sparrows to 13.0 I might be able to understand. but moving them to 13.3??? they are already not as competitive compared to other 12.7s so why move it to such a high BR where it will most likely see top tier regularly?

you didn’t see the “receiving AIM-120A” note did you

It’s actually really easy to rationalize this change. You need to give Gaijin money to obtain BMD-4s and 2s38, while Begleitpanzer is regular tech tree vehicle and therefore doesn’t get premium bias.

Mode: Air RB
Vehicle: F/A-18A, USA
BR Change: 12.3 to 12.7 BR

It’s ridiculous that this high performance gen 4 aircraft is allowed to bully medium performance gen 3 aircraft without PD radar or large numbers of CMs. AIM-7F (7M and P are functionally identical in kinematic performance, DL capability does not matter when fighting gen 3 aircraft without ARH) blows every other missile barring R-27E out of the water and it’s coupled to an airframe that wrecks all gen 3 aircraft easily with a top-tier capable radar. Anyone defending this clearly undertiered bully is out of their mind.

Ohh great another BR change post were we all piss into the wind as nothing we ever type ever gets sorked on.

Looking at the NF changes most make sense yet some are just daft.

Like can you not keep increasing the Peacock class Corvette BR for five minutes yet the more devastating Project 204 Corvette remains 3.7 for years now without change.

You might as well give it four hundred more 3" shells (similar to how the Type 143 received extra shells) if it keeps going up as 115 shells doesn’t last at the rate they’re expended in battle.

Also why change the place in the research tree? now it looks even more dumb as it going Motor Gunboat, Frigate, Corvette not gradually small, medium, large.

Now to see the pitiful Peacock class as an end of line vessel vs the Type 12 ASW Frigate is hilarious, it would be like seeing a Mirage III after the Mirage 4000 or a T-64 after the T-90M, it just doesn’t make a single piece of bloody sense.

An that after the fact the Peacock class & Type 12 are in fact bluewater ships not these poxy coastal vessels as the game calls them.

Thus:

Peacock class Corvettes (Both) 4.3 to 4.0

Reasons as above, also keep the trees as they’re as nobody will effectively grund the corvettes now after you which out the Frigate to be lower in the tree.

Mode: Air RB
Vehicle: Su-7B
BR Change: 9.3 → 9.0
Reasoning: This plane has NO AAMs and NO flares. Flies like a bus, yet its BR is full of other planes with AAMs. At a full uptier to 9.3, it faces A-10s with AIM-9Ls, versus which it cant do anything, but hope they are afk/blind.

They are getting AMRAAM as per the CM chat thingy

Mig 21 bis 11.0>11.3

No super sonic, especially a mig 21, with all aspects should be seeing 10.0s who dont get flares. It was fine at 11.3 and it should move back up.

I’d have hoped the Gripen A received the same treatment

Mode: Air RB
Vehicle: Kfir Gderot (“Kfir Canard”)
BR Change: 11.0 to 10.7 BR

Clearly inferior to J-7D in both performance, CM count, missile performance and count, yet is higher BR. Ridiculous. PL-5B and PL-7 are both superior to AIM-9G and J-7D can have double the number of missiles. Kfir Gderot also suffers from a lesser strain of “harrier disease” where it has a portal to the sun instead of an engine. Against even rear aspect missiles, flares require 75% throttle and deceptive maneuvering to function. Not so when compared to J-7D.
