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

oh well, guess I’ll have to find something else to spend those spare chickens on

Mode: Ground RB
Vehicle: Su-7B
BR Change: 9.3 → 9.0.
Reasoning: Compared to other planes with similar role, this one has NO smart weapons at all! It has only dumb bombs and S-24. The israely A-4E and Ayit at similar or lower BR have the AGM-62A TV guided missiles.
The fact that it also has only backwards facing RWR is not helping when it has to dive towards the enemy, since it cannot detect if its being locked up by radar SPAAs.
Plus it has the same issues as in Air RB - flies like a bus, no AAMs and flares.

idk in my experience Mig-21s aren’t really that scary, you’re right about having to throttle down significantly but thats mainly because of the direction the flares pop out at. You can out energy Mig-21s if you know what you’re doing

AIM-9L was introduced in the Peace Rhine upgrade, which also added countermeasures along with other changes. The “normal” F-4F is the post-Peace Rhine while the “early” is the pre-Peace Rhine. So yeah, all F-4Fs used AIM-9L eventually but only after an upgrade programme which is specifically modelled as a separate vehicle (a good decision)

Mode: Ground RB
Vehicle: Su-7BKL
BR Change: 9.3 → 9.0.
Reasoning: Same situation as the Su-7B. While it has 2 more bomb and rocket pylons, those are for the same type of weaponry as the previous model. Compared to other planes with similar role, this one has NO smart weapons at all! It has only dumb bombs and S-24. The israely A-4E and Ayit at similar or lower BR have the AGM-62A TV guided missiles.

Welp it was expected to see it go up in BR finally the Destroyer JDS Ayanami DD-103, I will not oppose it but.

With the change, please finally give it a destroyer damage model.

Currently as rated a frigate it’s quite prone to damage, as rated a frigate all secondary & tertiary batteries of enemy ships can target & fire upon it, with being rated a destroyer this would stop.

As hey what’s the point in having it rated a destroyer when called out in battle with the multi menu, having the pennant numbers visible (DD-103) yet at the same time rated a frigate in regards to the tect tree & in battle gets melted by Light AA fire from bots, (player bots), late WWII player ships while surcumbing to extremely high repair costs & ammunition costs mmm - 40 000 sl battles on a daily basis.

Mode: Ground Realistic
Vehicle: T-64B
Current BR: 9.7 → Proposed BR: 10.0

Reasoning:

Strongest frontal armor at its BR, comparable to T-80B. Stops most 105 mm and early 120 mm APFSDS (DM23, DM33) except weak spots.

Decent mobility (17 hp/t) and average reload (7.1s), comparable to other 9.7–10.0 MBTs.

Fires 3BM42 Mango (457 mm pen), able to frontally destroy 10.0+ MBTs like Leopard 2A4 and M1 Abrams, while the opposite is not the case

Overall performance is closer to 10.0 MBTs such as Leopard 2AV or Shir 1, with composite armor, stabilizer, and 400+ mm APFSDS, but no thermals.

Naval RB: L90509: 2.7 => 2.3

Inadequate at its battle-rating

Mode: Air RB
Vehicle: NF-5A
BR Change:10.7 → 11.0
Reasoning: better F-5E at lower BR

That still does not justify the clearly inferior other characteristics of the Kfir Gderot when compared to J-7D. I can outplay an A6M2 in the I-16 but the I-16 isn’t a competitor to the A6M2.

I rarely play it now because it gets thrown into 6.3 and 6.7 matches almost all the time.

Thats only against mig 21 pilots who dont know what their doing, which granted is quite a few of them. However, those games against the cunts who main them is pure agony in anything that isnt another mig 21.

wz can very easily manage at 8.0-8.7.
pgz-09 with its non-tracer rounds and no muzzleflash is way too broken still at 8.7.
if they made the mid air ahead explosions & muzzleflash visible to everyone and not just the guy using the pgz-09 it would be much more balanced.

Mode: Air RB
Vehicle: J-7D
BR Change:10.7 → 11.0
Reasoning: MiG-21Bis sidegrade at lower BR

However, the radar advantage of the Su34 cannot bring more benefits to the R77, while the J11A can bring more launch opportunities and better launch angles to the R77 within 20km through helmet aiming, and bring more convenience to the aircraft’s energy conservation, because they do not need to move the fuselage, only need to use the helmet to aim instead of turning the fuselage, which can maximize the benefits of high maneuverability of the R77 missile, which the Su34 cannot do

Naval RB: Primauguet 5.0 => 4.7

Game Mode: all
Vehicle:JAS39A, JAS39C, JA37Di, JA37Di F21, JA37D
Add: RB74 as AIM 9Li
Reasoning: With more options for Sweden most of these will end up being 12.0 or similar, something that the current aircraft are filling so adding the Li will increase the BR, make it realistic (Community Bug Reporting System) and add something to fill in gaps for the Danish or Norwegians planes to fill. The JA37C should also really move up and then there would just be huge gap followed by two planes and then huge gap, up until the J35J or others fill the gap.
With the JA37Di its currently the only 13.0 with amraams without an IRCCM missile. it also has the worst radar of the lot (its not bad just worse), its flight performance is somewhat sub par compared to a lot of other planes, although it is not quite the Phantom, the harriers can out turn and out sustain the plane with Viffing and the rest of the competition are just far greater in almost all cases. The Viggen also has a limited amount of missiles, 6 is below average and only 4 are amraams only beating the harriers.
With the Gripens it will make the stock grind far easier, especially the JAS39C, as competitors have better stock grinds
