Planned Battle Rating changes for January 2024

So Falcon joins likes of Gepard and ZA-35, things that have equal guns and radar, while being more mobile. Seems legit…

And why aren’t the F-15’s going to 12.7?

Not enough changes, all the F-16’s need to go up in BR if the ceiling is increasing.

Britain now has 3x 8.3s SPAA but nothing from 5.3 to 8.3 and nothing from 8.3 to 11.7 (stormer is so broken it doesnt count)

Its kinda insane.

Wait what?

What the hell. That definetly needs to move up as well.

Might partially be my fault lol, used it to grind SL with a crapload of boosters and a 5 K/D with some 70-85% WR

although it’s more or less good that it’s 12.7 the new top tier. I think more in my humble opinion that the new BR is up to maximum 14.0 there will be more room for maneuver for balancing both in tanks and in aircraft.

Move Wyvern S4 to 5.0. or remove it’s air spawn. This vehicle has ruined all 3.3-5.3 ARB matchs.

So T20 to 6.3 and A6M5 Ko to 5.3… why?

This smells like more “statistiks” based balancing.

Stop uptiering every SPAA that happens to be an effective Tank Destroyer, just nerf their AP belts

T20 and FL11 going up is…one of the decisions of all time. Peak examples of mediocre vehicles getting ignored by the average player, thus their stats go through the roof. Meanwhile the BatChat at 8.0 has me wheezing.

Type 81 (C) gets send to the shadow realm, no doubt for clubbing 2-IQ Su-25s, but the Strela gets a relative slap on the wrist.

Decompression for Air but not Ground that needs it just as bad at this stage. Nice.

I personally hope it stays at 4.7 (not for ARB, but because its the perfect CAS for a destroyer line-up in NRB)

I would vote for air spawn removal though. It doesnt need it (maybe at minimum a forward AF spawn, but not full air spawn)

Maybe no HMD

Yeah strongly disagree with the A6M5 Ko moving to 5.3…sure in the right hands they can be good aircraft but performance wise they are outclassed by everything they see even worse at 5.3

Downtier the kugelblitz to 6.7 in realistic. It’s not a 7.0 anti air.

The M48A2GA2 and Magach 5 should have the same br in realistic. Right now the Magach 5 is 8.0 and the M48A2GA2 is 8.3. Both have the same firepower. The only difference is that the magach 5 has a bit worse engine but gets era instead. Both really should be the same br
=> either the M48A2GA2 to 8.0 or the Magach 5 to 8.3

agreed, the fact that the strela only gets a little bump to 9.7 while having photocontrast is kinda annoying at this point

where is the F-15 variants in the sheet?
and the AMX50 changes to 8,0 make no sense

Type 81C should not be 11.0.
It struggles against helicopters enough at range especially when mountains counter photocontrast.
Not to mention the lack of radar, which hampers its performance in actually spotting and getting a lock, the game despawning planes occasionally (as per the anti-cheat) and overall hardness to spot in misty or low hanging clouds which account for a good portion of matches and finally the prevelance of guided munitions at higher tiers that if not spotted immediately will just end in your death.
A lot of the maps also arent suited for giving SPAA an actual good position that wont end up in getting sniped by the enemy team.

It should just be 10.3 instead. or on the contrary, make aircraft more visible to the naked eye.

yeah. removing wyvern’s air spawn seems reasonable.

I mean the A6M5 Ko was kinda very good at 5.0 given it has kinda a busted damage model.

So no suprise if the stats reflect that.

In thi case give it HMD, or BOL, or both

I put my multiple suggestions into different posts, because one shouldnt be a dealbreaker for people to like.
All realistic mode.

Softstat change suggestions:

Pz III Ausf. B-J turret speed to 14°/sec like the other Pz IIIs allready have, they are all hand traversed (so there arent any tests and its a soft stat by the human) they are all at low Br and even Reserve tanks. At the lower ranks mobility is key, pretty much every other tank has a much faster turret traverse as well as general mobility.
The Pz IIIs also have not much armor (14,5-30mm and the J 50mm) but are extremly limited by the turret traverse of 5.5°/sec (6.0°/sec for B) so they should be the same 14°/sec like the rest (which all have allmost the same traverse mechanism as well) And yes i allready made a bug report for the Traverse speed and it was forwarded/acknowleged.

Typo: The PB4Y-2 is currently 5.3 in realistic, not 5.0. Is it going to 5.0 or 4.7?
