Planned Battle Rating Changes for February 2025

Air Realistic Battles
F-16A (USA)
12.7 > 12.3
Reasoning: Very low amount of countermeasures to counter R-73, Fox-3 and AIM9Ms
AIM-9L very under-powered for 12.7

That was proposed in the table

Gaijin, when the feedback and final changes thread is announced and I go into the table for it I better see a wall of red like this

Decompression is urgently needed, you knew it there and you know it now. Please, it is strangling the game.

Why is the IPM1 even at the BR it’s at isn’t it like a worse abram’s becuase of the 105??

Ground RB, XM-1(GM) 9.3 > 9.0. There is exact same vehicle XM-1 Chrysler that stays at 9.0 while XM-1 (GM) is at 9.3. It’s unfair. Plain and simple.

The MAA-1 is no better then the aim9L tbh. after 1.5km the aim-9L is way better :/
And targeting planes in dogfights with the LITENING pod for the eegs is a mess aswell :/

Vehicle: F-104G (all with flares)
Gamemode: Air Realistic
BR Change: 11.0 ----> 10.7
Reason: with recent airframe nerfs and compared to other 11.0 jets like the Mig21bis, the F104G is undesired compared to other options at 11.0 BR.

Leclerc (all variants) 12.0 —> 11.7
Leclercs have a big problem which is their round. OFL 120 F1 has barely any spall, the shell often disappears after penetrating the tank’s weak spots. Leclercs also lack armor compared to Leopards or T-80BVM/T-90M. Leclerc can get penetrated practically everywhere by DM53.
My suggestion is, either bring Leclercs down by 0.3 BR or give them DM53 so we could have actually usable round.

thats no reason to down BR a perfectly good vehicle. m18 is a very good vehicle at 6.0.

The missile and the bomb loudout is even worse then the amx 10.7 -.-

It is tho. I’ve played both m1a1 and type90 and trust me I’d chose type90 over anything at 11.3 - 11.7

Air RB, F-16A OCU, 13.7 > 13.3. If the barak II gets to go to 13.3 while being the same as the OCU but with better CMs and a HMD. I see no reason why the OCU shouldnt also go down (unless yall update it to the block 20 wich idk that would be fun)

leclercs fine where it is, doesnt need a german round either / there is no better round for it in existence

If you wann justify a better round wait for the embt, that ones can be justified to be given DM53

Vehicle: F-104G (Chinese TT)
Gamemode: Air Realistic
BR Change: 10.7 ----> 10.0
Reason: Having no Flares and recent airframe nerfs makes this jet in desperate need of a BR reduction. Can only take 4 aim-9j‘s compared to Japans F-104j with 6 aim-9j‘s. This jet has worse performance then the J34D with the same missiles and no flares at 0.7 BR higher with these changes.

Do you believe a stock vehicle is just as competitive as a spaded one? Do you think a stock IRIAF with two AIM-9Ps as the starter missiles is competitive at 12.7 or 13.0?

until you notice it has only 50° elevation.
sounds like a downgrade for me dude.

Air Realistic Battles
Mirage 2000-CS5
Keep it at 12.3

One of the most enjoyable planes in Air RB. Since it mostly gets uptiers to 13-13.3, it is one of the few planes that can handle its own on any BR.
Bringing it up to 12.7 will cause it to get non-stop uptiers to 13.7 which will virually make it unplayable.

Vehicle: IS-2 (1944)
Gamemode: Ground Realistic
BR change: 6.7-----> 6.3
Reason:It is obviously inferior to other 6.7 heavy tanks,it has many weakspots from any angle,while the gun is devastating if it does penetrate,it does frequently get caught on volumetric things (mantlets and such) ,and with the very long reload its quite sad

when the hell did you ever see me comment on this? are you fighting demons in your head?

Do you even read this forum? Have you seen ANY of my posts?

Existing lineups should definitely be considered when adjusting BRs imo, in ground of course, or else you get situations where some nations have a good tank at a certain BR but its a black hole and sucks to play because they have nothing else in that BR range to use it with
