Planned Battle Rating Changes for February 2025

All Ground Modes

M4A2

4.0 → 4.0 Change: Move to Rank III

The M4A2 should not have been moved down to Rank II. Although I understand wanting to folder vehicles, this one I believe made no sense as it was drastically different from the other M4s in the series. Also, the M44 and M19/42 are Rank III, and they are 4.0 as well. I see no reason why it cannot be moved back up to rank III.

Air RB, F-104G (China) 10.7>10.3
Reason: It’s only 0.3 BR lower than German and Italian counterparts for lack of flares while Japenese F-104J sits at 10.3 while having 2 more missiles but almost no air to ground weapons. Both J and Chinese G variants seem to be balanced to one another and should occupy same BR. 0.3 BR is too small to compensate massive disadvantage which is lack of flares at this rank.

Do 217 J-2 (Ground and Air) 2.3 → 2.0 it is simply a J-1 (2.0) with the only difference beeing having an useless radar and changing the camo from black to white with black spots.

ZSU has worse (and less) missiles.

Their motor burns out pretty quickly and they turn into a slug.

Thanks I’ve edited the post, I was suggesting a change for the UK & Thai harriers, figured I’d chuck the American ones in as well, despite not having them to check exact stats.

Plane - A-1H
Mode - GRB
Br - 6.3 → 7.0
Its ordanance level at its current BR is absurd, 40 Zunis can basicly wipe an entire team by it self, its quite rare but when I do see it, it will get 10-15 kills

grb z19e and z19 11.3 > 11.0
the z19 should not be the same br as the ka50 with much slower missiles and only 6km range while the ka50 has 8- 10 km missiles

Tank Realistic Battles, Desert Warrior (GB), 10.0 > 9.3. Vehicle has anoying gun with bad penetration (Dardo`s shells, but Dardo has much quicker gun), bad ATGMs with uncomfortable control, bad guidance drives according to another Light Tanks at this BR, poor speed and accelrate time.

What are you talking about? Unlike the same gun on the AA vehicle, its in a cramped 2 man turret here, you CANT physically reload a 36 round drum in 1 second.

Pz.IV F2

3.3 → 3.7

Generally nearly all the long 75mm armed Pz.IV can use a BR increase, since they have the performance to be able to. While they do require more skill since they are more of a glass cannon compared to T-34’s or M4’s, they have a gun that have better penetration.

Man don’t get on my back like that, as i said:

Blockquote This Mirage sits in the awkward/over-compressed spot of planes that can either shred other planes or get shredded

it is my favorite plane and i played it a lot recently, and most of the games were 12.0-13.0 which i find really well balanced that way. Because even if the 2000Cs5 is a very great plane, air realistic gamemode makes it that as long as your weapons are on par with other players weapons (which is the case for 95% of 12.0 - 13.0 planes), if you are positionned well you can kill any other planes.
I am not saying that it is fair in 11.3, but thats a br compression problem and getting the mirage 12.7 would not change anything other than ruining it.

Do 217 N-1 (Ground and Air) 2.7 → 2.3 it is a Do 217 J with radar a little bit stronger (but also heavyer) engines (1430 hp to 1580 (150hp more)), changes the 20mm Mg FF/M to Mg 151/20 which are also heavyer (but fire the same rounds and) and has on paper a tiny little improvement in climp (5,9 to 6,8 (0,9 more) and such but because its also a good tat heavyer flyes even worse.

Same goes for N-2 2.7 → 2.3 its even worse as it changes the (useless anyway) small bombload and the 2x only def 13mm Mg 131 for 4x 20mm Mg 151/20 in Schrägemusik position which really is only dead weight and also changes once again the camo from Black to White with black spots.

And move the Do 217 N-1 and N-2 in front of Ju 88 C-6

Air RB F-86F-2 8.7>8.3 while its cannons may be extremely good at destroying enemy aircraft, they come with flaws such as low ammo count, low accuracy (when stock) and almost immediate overheating/jamming; therefore I believe that the f-86f-2 would benefit greatly from a reduction in BR that way it may have a greater survival chance aginst fighter that have better performing guns and even A2A missiles

Ju 87 D-5 (Ground, not shure About air) 3.3 → 2.3 It has worse bomb load than the D-3 (no 1000kg bomb, and less 500 kg loadouts (no 3x 500kg bomb loadout), while also the flightperformance doesnt change and the very aquivalent plane,
the Il 2 Mod. 1941 with 2x 20mm Shvak and 2x Shkas is at 2.3 (while also having a wider arrangement of explosives, such as Bombs and rockets) And even the mod 1942 sits at 3.0

Pz.IV H

3.7 → 4.0

Generally nearly all the long 75mm armed Pz.IV can use a BR increase, since they have the performance to be able to. While they do require more skill since they are more of a glass cannon compared to T-34’s or M4’s, they have a gun that have better penetration. The Pz.IV H should also get an increase in rank, so it can be used for daily missions.

Switch the Ju 87 D-3 and D-5 folder with the Hs 129 B folder, to have all Ju 87s in a row.
