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

J11/Su27 (ASB) 13.3>13.0 they don’t have anything for this BR, no normal radar, no normal radiation warning system, just some more or less decent missiles, which can’t compare to the Fox 3 missiles.

Ayit at 9.7, Yak28 at 9.0 in ARB…ridiculous…

Shows me GJN don’t know anything about their own game.
Ayit only rely on it’s missiles. The airframe itself isn’t capable of fighting anything above 10.0.
The reason why it’s so successfull is the matchmaker, gives it a lot of downtiers, at 9.7 the matchmaker will give it a hell lot of uptiers making this plane worthless.
Another consequence will be all Sabres/Migs at 8.3 now have no counterpart at all except a silly Yak38.

Moving down the Yak28 at the same time makes it more curious. In a full downtier this plane now is untouchable and will ruin the whole battle, even without flares.

F-15E right now is the easiest to kill of the 14.0 aircraft, but yeah it should move up as well.

The F-16 ADF variants will move up because they’ll get Aim-120, and at 12.7 that would make them be severely OP.

Poor Destroyers with HE only (where you forced to use time fuze shells due to higher explosive amount), just why?

vehicle: Type-90

Mode: all.
Aircrafts:
1.SB 2M-103U
2. SB 2M-103 MV-3
3. Yer-2 (M-105) TAT
4. Yer-2 (M-105R) TAT
BR change: no.
Demanded action: reopen for research in the researching tree.
Reasoning:
All these aircrafts are historical, were produced in reality. They are already present in the game client (they do not need to be re-drawn and configured, the models are updated along with their “brothers”), sometimes even used by rare veterans of the game. They are not imbalanced or declared as “unique” crafts. The reason for hiding them in the upgrade branch (they are not premium or event ones) is no longer relevant, since the game has already implemented “subfolders” for similar vehicles/aircrafts. In ThunderWiki, these planes are displayed as independent units, without reference to vehicle chains, i.e. for those who research these branches, they will not become an obstacle for obtaining other planes, but many collectors would be very happy to receive them in their hangars.

I think this more than any other AA needs to go up, it is currently the best AA ingame with fire and forget missiles that hit far above 10km with IRCCM

Gaijin wont gut their cash cow

M8 LAC (US+CN)
Ground Realistic

1.0 → 1.3

the M8 LAC is much better than the majority at 1.0, and is comical to think it is the same BR as everything else there, this is also comical when you compare it to vehicles suchg as the SARC Mk.IVa which are 1.3 and worse than the M8 LAC

the US M8 LAC is a cut and dry case with moving up in BR, However this is not the case with the Chinese M8 LAC due to it being a reserve

currently I see there are 2 options

A: Remove the .50 from the M8 LAC, as it will then be in line with other 1.0s

B: Move to 1.3 and remove the Reserve status, and place the T-26 in a system similar to the M-51, where you can spawn it 3 times without backups until a suitable alterative reserve is found (Possible Vickers 6-Ton (Mk.E) or M2A4)

(Air RB) Mig 21-f13 9.3 > 9.0 — plane has 60 round on canon. 1 canon. 2 r3s missles. bad dynamics, it is losing speed fast. for example Lightning f.6 are on same br but it is more dynamic has more ammo and better rockets

Literally nobody asked for this apart from couple of delusional people whose entire argumentation is “US has F-14A as SARH slinger at 12.7”
This is just outright murder of the F-16ADF.

A Bomber that’s rarely ever seen with only 50 rounds in its gun with somehow ruin games lol
No it won’t.

Don’t quite agree. Use it quite often, and find it at least in some aspects equal or better than the Roland: 8 missiles ready compared to 2, missiles are faster.

Only disadvantages I see compared to Roland is 2 less total missiles, and less powerful warhead. Its crew cabin can be a disadvantage, but one that can very well be worked around…

Why are you guys killing the 11.7-12.7 sim EC bracket? Honestly I hate these BR changes because it just ruins all my load outs. We need SL compensation at least for all the crews we have to retrain. Why don’t we get SL returned for training on BR changes or have a better crew system where you just pay once for the training. Every BR change is a nightmare it’s such bad game design on a principle level

Mode: Ground Realistic Battles
Vehicle: TTD
BR Change with new reload: 10.3→10.7

Reasoning:
The TTD has a different first-stage ammo storage than that of the previous Centurion based Olifant. Having a similar ammo storage as the Abrams series tanks, a 6 or 5 second reload would better reflect the tank’s “improvements” over the previous series of tanks.

Aircraft: F-16A-OCU

Mode: Air Realistic Battles

BR change: 13.7 → 13.3

Reasoning: With the addition of AIM-120 to ADF and MLU variants this have no real advantages over them and should be lowered in this mode.
