Planned Battle Rating Changes for February 2025

I’m tired boss. Gaijin only ever looks at numbers. If I ask the devs, they probably don’t even know how many bombs it carries

Equally worse.

I’d personally be fine with it. These vehicles would do just fine at 8.0, the guns they mount were practically designed to fight this sort of armor. If they struggle a bit more, it’d be only fair. WW2 era heavies shouldn’t have to face these things.

ARB, FFA P-16. 9.0 > 8.7. Direct Comparison to similar 8.7/9.0 vehicles, not good at anything - average-to-below average - other than payload, no countermeasures.

Air RB. F-14A IRIAF. 13.0 > 12.7

The F-14A IRIAF will be outclassed/out equipped by nearly every opponent it faces at 13.0.

Imho you gave the explanation for the high BR - veteran players.

The MM at its current BR places it often either vs US or German dominated teams and they score rather easily kills vs Me 262, F-80 & Co - at least up to 7.0. So if you have them in your team it is worth to protect them as they play similar to F 24 Spitfires more than often the decisive factor in the very few close matches.

From my pov gaijin is trapped in their way of thinking that increasing BRs of aircraft would reduce their efficiency.

Whilst this works in general - it does not work for good turning aircraft - as long as there is no real SBMM in place players tend to turnfight when under pressure, no matter what they fly.

With increasing the BRs gaijin simply increases their turning advantage - so in order to kill the efficiency they need to decrease the BRs to have more well turning enemies to fight them. Another example: Re 2005.

GRB. XM800T. 8.0 > 8.3.

Overpowered at 8.0.

Why not? If the planes with no RWR launch warnings can dodge fakours like you said, you can also simply dodge R-27ER, AAMRAM, MICA in F-14. Those missiles also have giant smoke trails

ARB. F-20A. 12.7 > 12.3.

ABSOLUTELY outclassed by everything at it’s current BR, this vehicle is desperately needing a BR adjustment.

Well do I have a surprise for you…

Air RB/GRB. Mig-23BN (Germany). 9.7 > 9.3

While this recommendation is the one I am most on the fence about, it has no countermeasures and no offensive air capability what-so-ever / with moving the Mig-21’s to 10.3 - I believe the situation warrants further evaluation of this vehicle.

NVM… Stockholm corrected me.

Do you mean 12.7 to 12.3?

Fun fact: ‘F8U-2’ is already on 10.3 at ARB.
Crusader which is on 10.7 is ‘F-8E’

MiG 23 ML Air Realistic 11.0 or 10.7
Constantly gets uptiered to 12.0 and has to fight against phantoms or even f14s almost every game. Very difficult to get any success against these very powerful aircraft.

Sounds like skill issue.

IS-2 1944 Ground Arcade and Realistic 6.7->6.3
Is at the same BR as the king tiger, which outclasses it in almost every way. Is 2 can only pen KT at close range in the front of the turret while the KT easily kills is2 from several km away
