Planned Battle Rating Changes for February 2025

Yak-3(e) 4.0 - 4.7 ARB.
it’s Yak-3 with 1 less MG. It mops the floor with any other 4.7 plane anyway, it is way faster than Japenese and German planes of similar BR, it’s way more maneuvrable than anything it can’t ourun. Climbs great. Has good high speed maneuvrability and the guns are excellent.

Since when did I say historical matchmaking? I dislike historical MM and I mostly run modern tanks at WW2 BR to piss off heavy tank mains. You still did not understand that when I say the 2S38 would be 11.3 since the BR changes of 2023 december if it was a TT vehicle, which was meant to denote that the vehicle being premium was held back from its actual potentials played by wallet warriors and rather less skilled ones?

Yak-3 4.3 to 4.7 ARB.

It’s extremely strong at 4.3, much stronger than any other non-premium fighter at that BR, having excellent speed, guns, climb and maneuvrability. Anything it can’t outmaneuver it can outrun with ease. And usually also out-energy. 4.7 is a good spot, above Fw 190 A5, G.55 S0 and Bf 109 G2 that have no business trying to fight this thing.

This definitely doesn’t deserve to be at the same BR as Gepard 1A2.

RB
R2Y2 (all versions) - 8.0 - 7.0 for v1 and 7.3 for v2 and v3.
The rationale is that the days of imbibing are over. The aerial spawn was selected (v1 still requires bombing bases for camouflage), the guns were flown, the br was raised, and the br of the opponents was lowered. At the moment, all 3 cars are on 1 br with Korean War vehicles, which they are inferior to in literally everything. The Keyuns can’t help but catch up/run away, and outmaneuver the opponent. All they have is some kind of turn (and then only b2 and b3), in which they wildly lose speed and become logs, from which they simply run away.

It’s already 9.7 in GRB.

Vehicle: F-16A OCU (Thailand F-16)
Gamemode: Air RB
BR Change:13.7 —> 13.3
Reason: lack of HMD/HMS, weak engine(F-16A engine), lack of Flares/Chaff(only 15+30), don’t have MAWS(Not like the F-16AM [Belgium]), max 6 AAM Slot

Increase the ground BR to 14.0 please…

The compression is painful.

F7F-1
Mode: Air Realistic
BR: 6.3 > 6.0

F7F is outclassed by comparable aircraft like the Ki-83 and Hornet. Both of these superior aircraft are 0.3 BR lower. The F7F-1 should be placed at the same BR. It would still have inferior performance, but its ground ordnance would justify sharing the 6.0 BR.

6 fakours may be stretching it unless you’re moving it up to 13.3, that way it’d be a bit more balanced (not fully) against aircraft with R-77s and Aim-120As, it would be very interesting to see how it performs against Rafales, F-15Es and the Eurofighters that have much better missiles, radar and flight performance

RB F-20A 12.7 → 13.0 - give AIM-120 x2 as a loadout option.
Reasoning: the Premium Viggen has proven that these are not a problem gameplay wise. It was fitted with everything to use the 120’s and was planned to, which is the same justification used for the Yak-141.

F-80C is fine at 7.7. The problem is all of the Sabres and MiGs that were dropped too low.

Previously, this thing could only see MiG-15bis & F-86F-30 in a full uptier. Now it can see a MiG-17PF. That is absolutely ridiculous.

Problem with the F-20 is that it gets immediatelly outclassed by the F16 however with 2 fox-3 missiles, it should be somewhat more worth using it especially with its amazing flight model but yeah I agree, F-20 does need some sort of buff to help it compete against F-16s and other top tier aircraft but 13.0 means you’d face eurofighters and rafales

Not only sabre, mig15, The F80C is too slow and the mobility is not the best, I am even sure that it will can against sea Meteor and SU11, which are 7.3

Air RB:
Yak-141 12.7 → 13.0 - give R-73 and R-77 options.

This would help add 13.0 lineup variety to russia.

And it has neither flares, a gun or is supersonic.

That’s not stretching it whatsoever. That should be standard. Fakours aren’t Aim-120s. They’re worse.

R-73 would be fine at 12.7 but the R-77 would make it 13.3.

If the F-20 were to get Aim-120s, it would get a double rack of them in place of the Sparrows. So 4x Aim-120.

Any battle rating changes that don’t include a BR increase for Top Tier is just moving around compression and compression is bad, m-kay.
