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

Ariete AMV
12.0—>11.3 GRB
Reason: The Ariete at this day and age doesnt fit its current BR as the Leopard 2A7s is at the same br while being better in every way. Along with one of the worst ammo layouts
Remove DM53 and the 5 second reload if need be.

M1A1
11.3–>11.3
Remove 5 second reload: The 5 second reload on this abrams makes the IPM1 all but useless since it has the same reload and way less firepower in comparison

IPM1
11.3 → 11.0 or → 11.3
Reason: Currently it shares its br with the now better M1A1 since the M1A1 got a reload buff to 5 seconds while retaining better firepower and having an equal reload. The IPM1 currently would fit better to the 11.0 bracket

or just remove the 5 second reload from the M1A1 specifically and keep it 11.3

AV-8B+ (US/IT)
13.0>13.3
Reasoning: Moving ARH carriers up as part of decompression

Yep, agreed, none of the Abrams should have gotten 5 second reload. If they are going to use reload rate to balance tanks, then it should have kept 6 second reload like the Leopard 2A7s did

Yes, this patch famously moved almost exclusively the vehicles which didn’t need to be moved given their reasoning and almost exclusively forgot the ones that did.

Don’t let my suggestion deter you from making one @Morvran , the more suggestions on the same vehicle the better.

F-14A
12.7>13.0
Reasoning: part of decompression, 4th gen and ARH too

Yeah… Especially stupid when you look at Sim as well. The Hunter F6 (france) which has a better engine, better wing and 2x Aim-9Bs is the same BR as the Hunter F1. Whilst the J-34 a Hunter F4 (so Hunter F1 with more fuel) is 9.3!

WHY GAIJIN?! WHY?!

Challenger 2
11.7—>11.3 GRB
Reason: The Challenger 2 at this day and age doesnt fit its current BR as the M1A2 is at the same br while being better in every way except for thermals.

  • buff to ready rack (Should happen regardless)
    Or stay 11.7 with a potential reload buff again maybe :)

F-14A IRIAF
13.0>13.3
Reasoning:
Decompression plus the Fakours are still cracked

I don’t play sim, but occasionally I see the BRs and just laugh. Same thing with arcade

Challenger 2F
11.7—>11.3 GRB
Reason: The Challenger 2 at this day and age doesnt fit its current BR as the M1A2 is at the same br while being better in every way except for thermals. Also this variant is just more fat but still one of the better ones

  • buff to ready rack (Should happen regardless)
    Or stay 11.7 with a potential reload buff again maybe :)

F-14B
13.0>13.3
Reasoning:
decompression, mainly

50% of it is compression. Like realistically all of the 9.7 Harriers could be spread out over at least 2 BRs, if not 3. And the same is true for the Hunters…

But the other 50% is just Gaijin be idiots

Challenger 2 TES
11.7—>11.3 GRB
Reason: The Challenger 2 at this day and age doesnt fit its current BR as the M1A2 is at the same br while being better in every way except for thermals. Also this variant is just more fat and the ERA is supposedly a bit underperforming

  • buff to ready rack (Should happen regardless)
    Or stay 11.7 with a potential reload buff again maybe :)

SHar FA.2
13.0>13.3
Reasoning: decompression and moving ARH carriers away from 3rd gens.

Python 3s aren’t IRCCM.

There’s a 12.0 to 11.0 bracket in simulator. it won’t face Fox-3s. it’s the BR in which the F-4S rules with AIM-7F.

Wym? It’s got a worse kit than the F-4E?

I’d include “With buffs” in there as well. Its really hard to justify it not being the same BR as the F-14A at the moment.
