Planned Battle Rating Changes for February 2025

If it gets a downtier. It is unkillable and should never have gone down to 10.7 to begin with…the others should not be moving down either

f4c doesnt get aim 9d’s

Sd.Kfz. 222 (all)
RB
Reclassify SPAA → Light Tank

In-game, the functionality is identical to the Sd.Kfz. 234/1, but it gets rewarded with a cheaper spawn cost simply due to its classification. There is an established precedent that tanks are classified in-game based on how they are played, not based on arbitrary or historical nomenclature, so these vehicle should be designated as light tanks.

yea, but if gaijin considers lowering F16A br to 12.3, they should do it to the Netz too as there are a few players which play Israel Air and having a lil power creep at that BR with Python’s would be nice for those which grinded Israel

1200mm pen tandem missile isn’t enough for you?

This is nonsense - the D-10 performs close to the D-30 thanks to higher manifold pressure, the engine power output of a D-20 is not even close.

It does not, I believe I typed Aim-9Es and Aim-7Ds however I will check again thank you

ZBD04A, ZLT11
Switch research order from [ZBD04A → ZLT11] to [ZLT11 → ZBD04A]

Some time ago, the ZBD04A was raised from 9.7 to 10.0, but it still precedes the ZLT11 in the research tree. This does make the progression feel out of order, regardless of if we look at AB or RB battle ratings.

This is much better than what we have got and it’s what we should have by now

JH7 12.3 → 12.0 when the plane came out it was a worse Mig 23 ML and now after the FM nerfs of the Mig 23 its slightly better, it has the edge though with the missiles, but lacks a fox 1 option. 12.3 is obviously way too high of a BR. As it has a slightly better FM and better fox 2 missiles, I would put it at 12.0

I would propose to move the F-20A down to 12.0 in ARB. The F-20A is in every way a worse F-16A. The armament and flight performance are not comparable and the F-16A eclipses it in both.

A-5C 10.7 > 10.3

The Magic 1 isn’t enough to justify it being at the same BR as the J-7D which carries double of the same missiles with vastly superior flight performance and gun, the A-5C is pretty much a heavier MiG-19 with very few countermeasures (18) and abysmal cannons for air to air fights

Vehicle: S.O.4050 Vautour IIA
Gamemode: Air Realistic Battles
BR change: 9.0 → 8.7 (8.3)
Reason: Miserable in every way, Vautour IIA without any offensive and defensive armament is straight a way pointless plane to play and painful to grind through.

it does indeed it appears I misread it, my apologies (sometimes my brain decides to read 2 words at once and combines them lol)

XP-50 Should be 5.0 in Air RB. Since all twin engine fighters have airspawn in War Thunder i understand removing it, is not an option. XP-50 has sustained turn rate (21.5°/s at 40% fuel) higher than:
All Bf 109s Fs, Gs and K4,
all P-51s,
all F4Us,
all Fw 190s,
all Tempests,
all La 5s, 7, 9 and 11,
all I-185s,
J-21, A-21,
all Me-410, Mosquitos, Beaufighters,
all P-38s and more.

It’s faster at all altitudes (560kph at sl and 680kph at 8km), or has very similar top speeds as:
All Bf 109 Es, Fs, G2 and G6,
All P-38s except P-38K at 5.3 br.
All Fw 190 As , except A-8 ans F-8 being faster below 2km.
All La 5s, 7, 9 and 11 except La-7, 9 and 11 below 3km.

It has good armament, and excellent resposiveness to mouse aim. Combined with airspawn it’s much more powerful than most single and twin engine fighters up to 5.7 br.

Air-RB, SU-39 , 11.7 → 11.3
There is absolutely no logic on placing this plane , able to carry 4 AA missiles including r73’s with IRCCM to the same BR as planes such as the AMX A1 (11.3 premium) which carries only 2 missiles , without IRCCM , and has equivalent to worse payload . Either you bring the AMX down to 11.0 or keep the SU at 11.7

Air RB, F-20A, 12.7 > 12.3

  1. Weaker than F-16 ADF&Co at 12.7.
  2. Weaker than MiG-21 Bison at 12.3.
  3. Weaker than F-16A at 12.3 in the Aim-9L config.
  4. You promised to stop balancing vehicles by their SL income.
