Planned Battle Rating changes for January 2024

please give me one reason why the japanese planes should go up in BR. Or give me one reason why i should pick a a6m5 over the a7m2. this is just getting crazy. only cause people have good stats with planes doesn’t give you the reason to nerf it. why we have the wyvern, xp50, ju288, p51h, not getting higher BRs, while they extreamly overperform? No we must ruin the fun of people who already play with a handicap plane.

This is what I think the BR change should look more like

This looks at mostly 12.0+. I didn’t put Israel F-16’s on here because no radar missiles.

I dont think the AV-8B+ needs to move at all currently, Radar is a small buff (in ARB) but same loadout but no BOLs as Gr7. Its fine at 11.7. If its get SARH/ARH then it needs to move up.

I wouldn’t move the F-15A up as its just a less fat F-4J/S at the moment minus the S’s HMD
C defo should go to 12.7 no question though
The rest of that looks perfect

you put smt twice

Does need to be nerfed twice :P

yes, I don’t think it should go up quite yet until AIM-120

My god people are delusional

Yep, at which point 12.3 along side Sea Harrier FA2 I think would be perfect (but would need A2G buff as well, like a gen 3 T-Pod)

oh yeah must have done something but I will fix it.

did it use one

You’re right its almost worse as half the missiles are non-functional
Thank you for reminding me
God bless high quality posters such as yourself

Possibly Sniper. But Im not sure to be honest. I dont know much about the Italian airforce. But im sure there are other “small” buffs it could get for CAS

Welp, no reason to play France anymore. It’s going to be a near constant uptiering to 8.7 with next to no viability against early long dart. Couple that with the nonexistent 10.0-11.0 and what reason do you the to play it beyond 6.3-6.7?

And the fact that the 2S38 isn’t on here going up to 10.7-11.0 is bonkers.

how are they not functional and don’t say sometimes they go the wrong way as that is the same for all radar missiles

For the same reason HSTVL isn’t going up: 12.0 doesn’t exist for ground yet.
And of course Strf 9040C being 2S38’s closest relative in War Thunder being 10.0.

Though I wouldn’t oppose 2S38 to 10.3 until ground BR decompression happens and BRs can raise to raise all 3: HSTVL, Strf 9040C, and 2S38.

Finally a revamp to the BR rotations in Sim, this was desperately needed, fighting against Su-27s and MiG-29s in an F-4EJ Kai was getting pretty tiresome. this is much appreciated by all of the sim community, thank you for giving us attention.

Its going to be glorious. The 11.7s have been gathering dust for a while now. Will be good to get them out again

I think the 11.3-11.7 bracket will be quite fun to fight in, its basically going to be Phantoms versus MiG-23MLD and J-8F. looking forward to getting a load of kills in the EJ KAI

Tornado F3/ADVs as well. Im really looking forward to it finally being playable
