Planned Battle Rating Changes for February 2025

oh god! We need decompression, not another compression! I’m tired to play 9.3 planes almost constantly against 10.3 planes and you wanna add even more planes to this pool.
Move planes UP not DOWN

Nou :(

Ground RB
KF41
11.0>10.7
Reason: No unmanned turret, low spike ammo, vulnerable to .50 cal, ineffective APS

F-14 IRIAF
Air RB
BR: 12.7 > 12.3
Reasoning:
It doesn’t have that good performance for it airframe & missile, to give it 13.0, and when other jets around are going down, it is better to lower it.

Just comparing with L-62, for AMX the APHE is the largest advantages, which can easily kill panzer IV or T34 by only one shot

Air Realistic Battles Ayit 9.3 > 9.7/10.0
At a mere 9.3 the ayit carries 4 almost always unavoidable missiles with good range along with flares which is extremely unfair. It is quite nimble for an attacker and doesn’t rip its’ wings after the changes last year. Regardless of it’s turning/speed it is simply too good at third partying with its missiles. Every player I’ve seen using this vehicle has a very high kill/death ratio for good reason.

They literally just moved it down from 13.3 because it was god awful…

Mirage IIIE
10.7 → 10.3

Worse or equal to the MiG-21SMT, Bricky airframe and only 3 missiles, logically should go down alongside the MiG-21’s.

Blame compression. Ion is right in the long term, the issue is short term gaijin thinking they can lower everything to 13.0 and it’ll be fine.

realistic, kfir canard. 11.0 → 10.7. reduces frequency of games with MiG-23ML’s with radar and missiles on the J-band which the kfir simply cannot detect (no radar pings, frequent deaths without any way of knowing or countering the missile). there still will be games with full uptiers but the mix of uptiers and downtiers will make playing more engaging. thanks in advance.

Yeah if you actually get a downtier, again it has no lineup so the people using it are either uptiering the LVKV to 5.0 or are upteiring their 4.0 tanks to 4.3 and now 4.7, it completely removes any form of usable spaa from the 4.0 lineup by making it 4.7 where nobody will use it.

T-62, ground realistic
8.7->8.3
Reason:
The only good thing about this is the 3bm3 round that only penetrates 15mm more than the 3bm25. Sure 3bm4 has good penetration against sloped armor, but at the same time it likes to “ricochet” if the armor is sloped more than 77°. It also doesn’t have range finder and smoke grenades, so it’s on par with the T-55A. The lack of heavy machine gun is also disadvantageous.

I don’t agree with this. The Tzefa B is indeed better than the helicopters you listed, but i think those helicopters should rather go down in BR rather than having the Tzefa B go up. The reason is becasue it lacks any kind of CCIP, and it’s missiles have a maximum range of 3.75km. This range is however a bit misleading because it is VERY hard to hit a moving vehicle at that range due to how much the missile starts to wobble uncontrollably at around max range.

Not to mention, the Mi-24A and D both have better missiles (4km, less wobble), full CCIP for everything AND countermeasures, and both of those are at 8.7.

lahatut moved up to 9.0 from 8.7? are you kidding me? You rarely see anyone playing it, it has no guns only tow missiles which dont even one shot most tanks and you get no ballistic computer for its 14 stock hydra rockets. stock grinding that thing is a pain already, and youre about to make it worse! not even mentioning the fact that isreal doesnt even have a 9.0 lineup.

Panther D
RB
5.3 → 5.7
With the later Panthers moved up to 6.0, the Panther D has the space to move up to 5.7. Compared to its Panther peers, it has the best mobility, and its only downside is the slow turret traverse. As a vehicle it can perform on the same level as the Tiger I, and is superior to all contemporary 5.3 medium tanks in all aspects besides turret traverse.

AIR RB F4J (US TT) 12.0>11.3 At its current Br the F4j has a few things going for it, HMD PD radar but those facts even when spaded are out weighed by its drawbacks: Its HMD makes locking targets difficult, Its Gun pod is absolutely horrendous and has a very low ammo count, Its missiles (aim 9 D) are not suitable for 12.0, its maneuverability is subpar to anything else it faces. overall the F4J Is basically the f4S without the slats and better weaponry yet its at the exact same BR.

yea i agree, i really dont understand why they moved the j7d down and left the kfir at 11.0

Apparently yes

Stupid players with a side of $$$$.

The J-7D needs to be 11.0.

VK 30.02 (M)
RB
5.0 → 5.3
Similar to the Panther D, it outperforms the contemporary medium tanks at its BR, with the exception of its poor turret traverse. It wields incredible firepower, which is totally overkill while facing tanks of the 4.0-4.3 range, and in return is frontally impenetrable to most of those opponents as well. Medium tanks in downtiers should not behave like heavy tanks, they should not be nearly frontally invulnerable.
