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

yeah, that was right around the time i was spading it

This doesn’t matter. The F-4E was strictly superior to every jet u mentioned except the FGR which it was essentially a sidegrade of

Good question honestly.

Mode: Air Simulator Battles
Vehicle: Mirage IIIE
BR Change: 11.0 → 10.3

Reasoning: The Mirage IIIE is functionally a much heavier IIIC with some flares. The 45 countermeasures it gets are not enough to justify it being 0.7 higher than the IIIC while having significantly worse flight performance, especially when planes like the F-4E are 10.7 while having nearly 3x the missile count, flight performance comparable to the IIIC, better avionics, better radar, and better radar missiles and CMs. The Mirage IIIE is functionally a sidegrade to the IIIC, and should be the same BR as a result.

Even back then, when it had 30% of the buffs it has now, it was still strictly superior to the others in most regards. Nowadays, it is OVERWHELMINGLY superior to anything at 9.7-11.0.

hope not

Very well then.
On the other hand however, the A 32A might be an aircraft that should potentially recieve a lower BR, at least in ground.

I remember on the old forum how someone mentioned why the A 32A wasn’t moved down was because of the Sabre players complaining that it was too good (or was it too fast?). But since there’s seperate BRs now for ground and air, then maybe it’s time to bring it back to 8.7, ground wise.

I had a bunch of fun in the f100 I played it enough to get the camo skin for it

Hello, would you guys consider moving the F-2A ADTW from 13.0 Air Simulator Battles to 13.3. The reason being is that it’s missiles specifically the AAM-3 is too good along with its flight model because, its already similar to an F-16, it’s maneuverability is insane. Not many airfract can beat it at that battle rating and they don’t have an easy time doing it either. In addition it’s loadout of ground munitions makes it versatile and a common pick for Air SB brackets that are at 12.3-13.0. At this BR bracket not many planes can defeat the F-2A ADTW which makes the plane an uncontested monster that people when put up against it will usually leave the match because there’s nothing you can do. I would love if you considered this change as an Air Simulator player we usually don’t get any attention.

P.S. There’s still a bug for carriers in Air Simulator Battles where spawning on them doesn’t work and you will be over the ocean and sink in the water and landing on them will not repair and reload you.

Mode : Air Realistic
Vehicle : Sea Hawk Family
Change (FGA.6): 8.0 → 7.7
Change (Mk. 50) : stay at 8.0
Change (Mk.100): stay at 8.0
Reasoning: The new BR changes suggest the German and Dutch versions of the Sea Hawk are on par with the F-25/30 Sabres and the MiG-15bis!? If the ‘Korean War era’ BR changes from last year are not going to be undone (which is a big mistake IMO), then the Sea Hawks should be scaled relative to the early MiG-15s and Sabres.

At this point, moving vehicles to another BR is like moving homeless people to another city - you aren’t solving the problem, you’re just creating a problem somewhere else.

We need a larger BR range!

Everyone I’ve talked to is OK waiting a bit longer for matches, if the matches are fairer.

Flying against planes 2x your speed, or fighting tanks you simply can’t pen is BS!

The difference is the rapier can hit a target with ez, the rolands is like try to guide a drink friend blindfolded along a tightrope with them falling off.

Moving the Sea Hawks isn’t the answer. The simple fact is that the Sabres and MiG-15s are too low in BR, not the lower planes being too high.

if its getting aim 120s it should

Mode : Air Realistic
Vehicle : Yak-3U
Change : 5.7 → 6.0
Reasoning: Insane acceleration, climb, and maneuvering energy retention for its BR. More comparable to 6.0 aircraft.

why are you touching the BR of AMX-32 ,VFM.5 … and the worst thing to touch is PT-16/T14 putting it in the same group as the Type 90, T-90A… that doesn’t make sense… I hope you change that…

Yes the BR “ceiling” is too low decompression is needed for most BR over 8.0

they are not touching it
