Planned Battle Rating Changes for October 2024

Ground realistic, Somua SM. 7.7 > 7.3
Well, let’s talk about the French…The Somua SM should have a reduced BR and in the French tech tree and is not alone (Lorraine 40t, AMX-50 TOA100…). The main problem is that the French autoloader is inadequately blindly sent straight up and disadvantaged to 7.7, without taking into account the other specs of the tank in question. Compare for example the Somua SM and the Tiger II (H). In terms of armour (both have a hull front of 150mm), speed or gun power, they are pretty much the same tank. Somua SM has an autoloader, but Tiger II has better projectile. The two tanks are still separated by a significant difference in BR 1.0. I don’t want the Somua SM to have a BR of 6.7 either, but 7.3 sounds fair (the mighty American T32 is also at 7.3). Plus the reality in the uptier is very cruel for this tank. If the Somua SM at 8.7 is supposed to fight the Soviets like the T-55AMD1 with stabilizer, APFSDS and missile protection, that seems absolutely insane and unreasonable to me. The fact that tanks at 6.7 experienced decompression and were relieved is great, but moving some tanks to 7.7 (French, Centurions etc) without further higher decompression was ill thought out, ill considered and short sighted. Please correct this oversight and think about whether some tanks should go back to 7.3 after all, or please at least consider further decompression around BR 8-9. Thanks.

RB.Re 2005 reduce combat rating 6.0>5.7 (analogous to spitfire lf 9, but worse)

The penetration ability of the Stug IIIa and Panzer IV F1 and previous makes them kinda hard to be reduced.

Those are great tanks overall.

RB.bf 109 g10 reduce combat rating 5.7>5.3, because we have bf 109 k 4 with the same combat rating, but with better characteristics

11.3 fighting non flare capable 10.3 10.7 11.0 is fair to you when the 9M you carry does have no smoke?

No way you can keep tracking of every A-10C when you’re already in fight with 2 MiG-21,…

The A-10C is too low BR, and should get up by 1 step.

AB,RB,SB - 2S38 - 10.0 > 10.7 - That vehicle has everything at this battle rating. LWS,LR,Apfsds and he-vt. Tank killer, plane killer, heli killer, drone killer… That vehicle can kill everything at that br. This vehicle needs to be raised. Effective against everything.

I know thats premium vehicle, You want to sell this premium vehicle but needs a nerf.

RB, J6K1, 6.7 → 6.3
This vehicle has absolutely not business being at a higher BR than the P-51H.#
This is one of the most extreme cases where the majority of players are very experienced and thus push the stats to much higher values than the plane could achieve in average hands.

Seems like skill issue as i’m playing the slower Mirage 5F which is perfectly avle to reach bases, bomb them and dogfight any aircraft at it’s BR.

To be honest, a Delta aircraft is not for everyone as many forgot the key feature of it

You need to plan route and stay away until bases respawns.

AIM-120 aren’t going to be any lower in BR wise, at least for an aircraft capable to launch them at high speed.

Same have been done with Magic-1 and -2 for long time (still done today, with Magic-1 unable to go lower than 10.0 and Magic-2 under 12.3)

GRB、Pantsir S1 、11.7 > 12.0, It was so strong that made other SPAA seems like a rubbish。

Oh yeah. However some of the Mig 21s at 11.3 were way too high of a BR. I might just be bad at the 21 BIS but that thing seems to suck at 11.3. But that doesn’t mean it should go down like it is now lol

@Stona_WT : when can we expect to see a first approach of Feedback approval/disapproval on this matter.

To see what Gaijin is ok with what we told, and eventually contest, feedback more depending on the integrated feedback?

This would help to avoid some spam commentary, and get people to work all around together.

I can notch, fly below 50m AND spam chaff and still get killed by a AIM54/Fakour-90 by it hitting the ground and it blowing my wing off from 50-100m away. Fox 3 shouldn’t see non fox 3 capable planes.

Realistic. AH-1W (Both USA and China). 11.0>10.7 .don’t move them up in BR, let them stay at 10.7, they are basically the same as G-LYNX, A-129CBT and all the others who will get moved to 10.7.

Vehicles without thermal should not be 9.7 +

I dont know the rocket science used to the BR changes (because its clear its not applying what was mentioned in the past) - but some technological limitations should have been considered.

(RB) Leave A5-С on BR 10.3. it has a small number of flares, only two rear-aspect missiles, lacks any maneuverability - it flies “on rails”, and has a rate of climb with the dynamics of the current aircraft. already leave much to be desired.
Many players recently bought it at a discount (on the day of the People’s Republic of China) and you immediately nerfing it looks like a mockery.

Welcome and happy first post.

Formalities aside, if they were clear about what the change entailed originally then we wouldn’t need to speculate.

What has me concerned is that it’s listed as only effecting the Fox, not the Warrior, which uses the same gun, or a couple other vehicles that use the same shell in different guns.

Now this could simply be an oversight, but the fact that the Fox is known to be a controversial vehicle in its own right, moreso currently than any of the other vehicles this could effect, makes me think it might be an arbitrary, reactionary, and inconsistent change intended to nerf the Fox without changing its BR.

If this is, as listed, a genuine recalculation of the shell itself then it should effect more than just the Fox. If they want to effect just the Fox then they should change its BR, which I do not want them to do, but would find it the lesser of two evils if those are the options at hand.
