Planned Battle Rating changes for January 2024

Please explain how you come up with these changes.
They make little sense to people who actually play the game.

I’ve read for a while and can’t find anyone else mentioning it

PLEASE make the Strela 10.3-10.7, that thing is just too powerful at 9.3, and at 9.7 its missiles fly circles around the joke that is the Stinger K, atm I’d say the Strela is easily the most dangerous SPAA in the game for how many you face vs how few Type 81s you see… in one game, you might see between ~0~ and ~1~ Type 81, if you face Russia you’ll face at least 2-8, as they’re so cheap to spawn, and so murderously efficient, that they’re an “Must Have” in ALL Russian lineups from 9.3 upwards… facing a Strela in 8.7 CAS is just unwinnable as that thing can lock and kill anything but an Israeli A-4E miles before the Strela is in any danger.

(TL:DR make Strela’s BR higher as it is just TOO POWERFUL at below 10.0-10.3. anyone can show you that the Strela can comfortably fight against 12.3 jets as the missiles are borderline immune to flares)

(ALSO APOLOGIES FOR DELETING AND REPOSTING! for some reason I somehow replied to someone when I didn’t mean to)

XM8 9.3-10.0 could need a M833, since its a good tank but needs a better round to fight back in a lot of scenario

Strela AA needs to be at 10.0 its missiles having optical and IR tracking allows it to reach far out and deny a lot planes a chance at its BR a chance to engage in combat

Pz.W. 42 2.3 → 1.7 especially in an uptier there are enemy you cant even (or very hardly) destroy as the rockets only have 27mm penetrarion, on top of that the vehicle is just so painfully slow.

pr.56 going to 5.3? Are you sure gaijin? I don’t think 56 can compare with Atlanta or krasny krym.

I feel like the sagittario shouldnt be the same br as the ariete as its engine preformance is already really poor for its br while it can compensate for it with turn rate and guns it will be outran by every other aircraft in an uptier and in a lot of cases even in a downtier making it kinda useless

Pffff Strela move to 9.7 just up 0.4 br lol sure anything that make Russia main’s life easier meanwhile type 81 go to 11.0

LMAO… Are you joking?

Dear Gaijin devs, the VERY best idea about every BR changes (or every changes in general) would be to add the reason of proposed change (with sources if in vehicle change, as we have to in bug reports) - change my mind.

For example:
Vidar 8.0 → 9.0 RB, good mobility, good armor vs low calibres, very good HE round with 9kg tnt on top with great thermals and laser range finder makes this vehicle point&click, so we dicide to move it by 1.0 BR.

Btw. That’s my proposition btw. Vidar at 8.0 BR is a monster which is sealclubbing whole 7.0-9.0 BR, tbh even 9.0 is low for this vehicle, but that would be a good start.

Source = their own internal statistics

So let’s public them.

Gaijin says thunderskill is not reliable source so let why they don’t let us see their own statistics then.

Soo Are 2S6 gonna be 11.0 too like Type 81 because 2S6 Have radar and 32G missile ??

They don’t need to.

J6K1’s RB is too high. It does not have an excellent engine like the Spitfire MK22 and MK24. Moreover, consider the performance of the Spitfire at 7.0. It’s hard for the J6K1 to do better. Therefore, the J6K1 should rightly remain at 6.3.

I’m not satisfied with the changes. Moving France’s lineup from 7.3 to 7.7 was I think a very good decision, but moving it from 7.7 to 8.0 is not really a very wise idea in my opinion.

Also could you please consider moving KF41 Lynx from 10.7 to 10.3? It is just simply not strong enough compared to other vehicles in that BR.

So don’t use it as an argument. Also what’s the problem to public this?

It’s like using sources in bug report without uploading them aka “trust me bro” xd

Simply put, gaijin wants trustable data since they are the ones making changes. You are not making changes so you don’t need the privilege of internal statistics.

Wow, Leopard 2A7V/122s is still 11.7? Clearly they should go to 12.0

To offer my thoughts, the move to make air 12.7 is great! But now they should also make ground 12.0! Especially with new vehicles such as the 2A7 that are absolutely superior to ever other tank in game.

Some complaints:
T20 should stay at 6.0, the tank is a glass cannon, and it’s gun isn’t even that impressive at its own BR.

J-8F shouldn’t move up to 12.0, as it’s still outclassed by many 12.0 jets such as the F-16A and Mig-29, and offers no advantage, all while lacking BVR capabilities still.

Finally, 12.7 on air, can we now finally get su27 locking over 10km range possible.
And why in he**, a plane that can lock and has ok radar missiles is staying in 12.3 ?
