Planned Battle Rating Changes for February 2025

Did they change the flight model? I tried looking it up, but most posts I’ve read said that the D Baraks flight model was mostly the same as the C Baraks

The F-104S shouldn’t (and in fact isn’t) moving down to begin with

Same should go for F7F-3 then which is basically the same thing but with different ground loadout

Air realistic battles , Hunter F6 Great Britain. 9.7> 9.3 .

the fact the F104, mig29, J35D now, arietes, yak38s all sit down at 9.3 while the hunter F6 sits at 9.7 is absolutely disgusting. While at the same Br as the F58 which is arguable better than half the 10.0s right now is madness.

Needs to be individual not lists.

I agree with either the F58 going up or the F6 going down, but both are not needed

i am very much coping yes.

Air Realistic Battle , F-4F Phantom II Early (Germany) 10.7 < 10.3 . No flares ,No all-aspect missiles, No radar missiles . No guided weapons for Air-Ground . Flight performance very similar to the American F-4C Phantom .

Having used both extensively they the F6 could drop down while the F58 went up.
It is literally better in every single way. and 8.7s stand very little chance against it.

ill make it into individual posts now thank u for that man

Air realistic battles, Hunter F1 Great Britain. 9.0 > 8.7

the jet massively under performs at its current BR now , and the likes of mig17 and F86 that were on par with it are now substantially lower than it.

Is the single best hunter in game, fantastic engine, great avionics, good missiles, RWR and counter measures, all for 9.7 makes it an incredibly potent jet especially in even a partial downtier.

mostly the same but the finer details are a little worse.

It’s a case of

  • when compared to shit the F-16’s already beat, the Barak D isn’t really losing. But when compared to other F-16s directly you notice the differences.

But the main reason is the weapons. Derbys are just stinky, and the C gets AIM-120s

thats allready in game as a premium from an even in 2016

Fair.

I don’t think moving it down is ideal, but alas, Gaijin can’t be bothered to decompress the BRs, so I suppose in the sake of balance (even if its just balancing the F-16s against eachother) this is acceptable

well yeah, that’s what i mean. If F7F-1 is to go down in air, so should F7F-3

I never understood the hype behind BMP-2M.
Yes, it’s mobile until you decide to reverse. It has simply terrible gun depression that even curbs will mess up your aim.

In order to take HE-VT you have to sacrifice 50% of your missile load on the missiles that you might not even use in a match. If you decide to do that, you’ll have to waste a missile and wait 20-26s in order to load another missile type.

to be fair relative to the 13.3s we have it’s not really anything crazy. but yeah we need decompression

Isnt that one of the only ATGM launchers that can fire on the move?

Where most others are denied that capability even with Primary sources stating it could do exactly that

thing used to be an unbalanced monster before ATGM flight changes. Now its biggest gimmick (firing atgm’s on the move) is not really worth.

The advantage is the ability to immediately react. If I go round a corner in something like the Desert Warrior and see an MBT. I have to slam on the breaks, come to a complete stop and then fire. BMP-2M can just fire without even slowing down, making them both a harder target to hit quickly and able to react far faster.

It also has a better gun than a lot of 10.0/10.3 IFVs

ARB: Yak-3U 5.7 → 6.0

Excellent climber, great turn fighter, good controls at all speed, great armanent, v. good speed at low alt, good speed at 5000-6000m, flies just fine without a wing.
It can fight and win vs anything in 6.0-6.7 range with sole exception of BI (it’s broken and no other plane can fight it either). Vs Spitfire Lf Mk IX at similar energy it can run away without issues, and out-energy it soon after, while Spitfire bleeds energy like crazy, overheats, is much slower and has worse armanent.
The only downside is low rip speed.
