Planned Battle Rating Changes for October 2024

[Stona_WT]

Hello everyone! Today, we’d like to introduce you to another round of planned Battle Rating Changes.

We’ve planned a number of changes to the current Battle Ratings for ground vehicles, aircraft, and naval vehicles. Among other changes, we’re also increasing the maximum Battle Rating of ground vehicles to 12.0.

Click here to see the table of planned changes

In order to properly and efficiently take on board your feedback, we’ll consider one vehicle change / request per comment in order to keep the flow of feedback clear for everyone and allow for better collaboration and comprehension of requests.

Note: Please don’t make lists — comments that contain more than one suggestion will not be considered. If you’d like to suggest more, please use the one-comment-one vehicle rule using the below template. You can leave more than one comment in this thread, there’s no limit to this.

Here’s an example template (per comment):

Mode, vehicle name. 8.0 > 8.3. Reasoning.

If you’d like to write more proposals and participate more actively in proposing changes, make sure to invite your friends and like proposals from other players that you agree with!

We’ll be reading your feedback on the planned Battle Rating changes, so please share your thoughts and suggestions! Make sure to read comments from other players and click on the ‘like’ button on suggestions that you think are most important so that we can see them.

No Air SB changes? Also the A-10C is ridiculous at current BR

There’s zero reason why A10C should be 1.0 BR lower than SU25SM3 in Simulator. It has way more ground ordinance, HMD with IFF, 2 more IRCCM missiles which are also invisible without the markers.

No A-10C changes???

The obj 906 at 8.0 is criminally under tiered, I feel as it could almost go up two brackets. 4s reload with 245 pen he filled round and stabilized at a br where a lot of tanks still don’t have a stabilizer. I never see that tank not do well

Obj 906 8.0 > 8.3/8.7

Holy sh*t:

[Strafenhoernchen]

Realistic JAS39A 13.0 >12.7 missing? f16 A MLU carries better missles and was moved down

[somebody_Else]

F-16A MLU doesn’t have aim9M’s

[markimash]

Feel like the US chaparral is going down because it hasnt had its smokeless motor for like 9 months

[Sahilku010101]

GRB, AGS. 11.3 → 11.7. Give it M900, it already (and still will) face top tier MBTs with a round that has less than 400mm of pen. Many other MBTs now also have 5 second reload, it’s no longer as special as it was before.

[jspene]

You had the chance to decompress top tier, put 2A7V, Strv 122B+, T-90M at the highest BR and give worse top tiers some breathing room

[kitsune_qq]

what about 9M for F-14B and 9L for F-14A?

[Rifes101]

Actually a decent change and nothing i would fully disagree with

[CorporalApollo]

Sure, then move them up another step.

[BOMBAY9997042]

(realistic) xm800T 8.0> 7.0 lack of adequate penetration (against targets from the front(in most cases)) at its planned battle rating even with apfsds belts

[Godvana]

GRB, 2S38 . 10.0 > 10.7.

This thing is just a blatant pay-to-win anti-everything machine. But hey, it’s Gaijin’s cash cow so it will never be given it’s appropriate BR. The fact it’s the same BR as the Puma is laughable, 57 mm with proxy rounds vs 30 mm…

The addition of the detailed modules was not a ‘nerf’ at all, as claimed it would be by Gaijin, considering that, at the same time, it got it’s ready-rack changed to be unlimited and it has a barrel that cannot overheat.

Enough is enough snail. It is time this thing gets the BR it deserves.

[jspene]

M1A1 AIM 11.7 > 11.3 the other M1A1s are getting M829A2, this will be stuck with KE-W which is much worse

[TyphoonCro]

Not much but it’s a start

[kitsune_qq]

well, with Flanker at 13.0 they will be fine as they already going up.

[BOMBAY9997042]

not that much worse, actually

[markimash]

Sea vixen is going up. Rip my beloved
