Planned Battle Rating changes for January 2024

as the Swedish one doesn’t have 3BM46

Japan once again getting sent to the shadow realm BR-wise for having good tools against bad play- I mean Big Three mains…

Tan-Sam should stay where it is, to help keep ground RB to its name.

A6M5 to 5.3… Really ? REALLY?

Type 99 to 7.3… Not really THAT bad, given there’s not really a 7.0 lineup in the first place, but COULD YOU PLEASE AT LEAST MOVE THE TYPE 87 RCV (PROTOTYPE) DOWN TO 7.3 WHILE YOU’RE AT IT?! THAT THING DOESN’T DESERVE 7.7.

Yak-141 should go up to 12.7 and should get R-73

Why are French mediocre penetration autoloaders being pushed up and up in BR in Arcade? This is becoming beyond ridiculous.

Why is the T95 going up to 7.3? No way is it worth 7.3, especially when the T28 (The same exact thing, minus the outermost set, which barely does anything outside of armor) is at 6.3
If anything, it should go to 6.7. The only reason I don’t say 6.3 is because the Outer tracks only make the neutral steering slightly better, and can create an armor black hole, akin to the Panthers mantlet. Not to mention it’s still extremely slow, prone to being CAS’d, and prone to track and barrel torture. It can stay in 7.0 for Arcade, sure, that’s fine, but in RB it needs to at least drop to 6.7, not go up to 7.3. There’s nothing to really support moving it to 7.3 (250mm of pen doesn’t really matter when the angle performance sucks) aside from players who aren’t smart enough to either:
A: Shoot the cupola
B: Break the tracks and/or barrel, then flank it
Or C: Wait on it to fire, then attempt to rush it down.
And that is just a skill issue, the exception being for 1 if it has bushes on.

Also the T32E1 could stand to drop a bit, perhaps to 7.3, as the long 90 just isn’t well suited for 7.7, and that is the only thing aside from armor it has going for it. If APCR worked as it should, I wouldn’t include this, but here we are.

It should stay at 7.0, Jagdtiger should be pushed up there as well, and Ho-Ri Prod. should also be put there. All three have tradeoffs gun-and-armor-wise, Ho-Ri being the fastest with the middling gun and T95 having a great gun and armor but being the slowest while JT is in middle.

No no You need see rank VIII T 80 U (Sweden), i know T 80 U br 11.0 as the Swedish one doesn’t have 3BM46, but why T 80 U (rank VIII)

Ozelot should go to 9.3, like all the other IR SAM-Systems from other nations (Chapperal, Typ 93, PGZ04A, SANTAL, Machbet)

Strela-10 to 9.7 is a good change.

Edit: And Kugelblitz to 6.7

The Mirages going up is scandalous imo, the lack of missiles and their STILL nerfed state (ludicrous drag and still missing it’s real IRCCM performance for magics, as well as unable to pull it’s 50Gs with controlled constant use of dual plane) and lack of features (like missing MAWs) on top of a good but EASILY conterable FM they should NOT move up, at least not until MICA is introduced maybe in a nerfed state to at least get 6 missiles on the 5F…
Everyone knows that any F16/MIG29 with half a brain can delete any mirages by going for 2 circle engagements instead of 1 circles, on top of them being overperforming in 1 circle in the first place

No clue why its that rank mate

I still dont understand why gjn is using decimals and not simple integers. Why .0 .3 .7 ? Why not simply 1 , 2 , 3 … ?

Doesn’t it not hold as much missiles and have worse performance then a mig29

it goes up bc everything goes up, the ratio remains the same

Does this mean that if you take 12.7 aircraft to ground rb you will no longer face 11.3 enemies as it is today?

Probably not.

NO absolutly NOT since base MIG29 and no F16 bar the C and barak are moving out of 12.0

The Saggitario should not be 9.3, It’s only performant at 9.0 because people turn with you in that BR. Just like the A6M5 Ko. at 9.0 the Saggitario is already one of the slowest around, even in a downtier. To be honest i think the MiG-15bis is a better plane. The only reason planes like the saggitario, vampire, A6M5, ariete, etc are so ‘good’ is because bad players just keep turning with them. Only amplified by the fact that these planes are not on mainstream nations, so they don’t have a constant stream of bad players dragging down the statistics, like USA or USSR.

At 9.3 it would only be a much worse Ariete, which already struggles in uptiers against high G missile carriers and MiG-21SMT/MF.

If you utilize the thrust vectoring engines properly, it can beat nearly any aircraft it comes across. And yes, it only has four missiles, but that doesn’t stop it from being a very good aircraft.

Also the G.91YS NEEDS to go down, it’s been entirelly unusable for so long at this point
