Planned Battle Rating Changes for October 2024

Ground Realistic: M26, M26 (T99): 6.7 → 6.3

The M26 and its T99 variant sit at the same BR as the M26E1, T26E-1 and T26E5. All three of these vehicles are far superior, having either better armour, firepower, or both whilst having similar mobility. The M26 and M26 (T99) are far more comparable to the Tigers and Panthers of 6.0 than the Tiger IIs and T34s of 6.7.

13.0 at the lowest.

And also the worst 13.0 at that point 4 ARH with 9L’s and mid flight performance would make it doa. It needs to not exist until gaijin deconpresses more or adds Danish and Norwegian F16’s to help fill the lack of vehicles at 12.x+

The J-8F only has 2 Fox-3s with 4 fancy AIM-9Ls and worse FP than a viggen so second worse

Air RB F-5c 11.0 >10.7 The fact that the F-5e, the much much better version is in the same Br as the c variant is ridiculous. Please make the 0.3/0.4 gap between these two aircraft exist again. The F-5c suffers in 11.0

i agrea, with the part about it going up lol, but it needs its red tops fixed. If an f104 can dodge it even with its new fm just by rolling then its not nearly good enough. If they fixed the red tops it would have all aspcet missiles against super sonic and after burning jets as well as the old fm with the new range. All that combined would make it a 9.3, maybe 9.7 worthy jet. My best jet is the sea vixen, i grinded the entire british tree from rank 4 with it in about a week. What im pissed about is gaijin constantly fucking our missiles and jets just to leave them at brs that are either far too high or too low and people complain about it.

Huh, nice catch wasnt sure of its loadout so thanks for the headsup. Regardless vehicles like that just dont have a good place in warthunder, especially without HMD or good flight performance.

Yeah that’s what I put in my JA-37D post but with all the f-16s moving down to 12.7 I wouldn’t be surprised if they put the viggen at the lower br

Yeah unfortunately the HMS in the J-8F is IR missile only :(

Honestly if a viggen gets within 3km of a f16 they are cooked, they cant outrun or turnfight with F16’s its literally a losing match even they cant radar fight since idk but the vuggen seems to lose lock to chaff from the front ir Skyflash just decides to forget how to missile.

Why do Leopard 2A4M and M1A1 AIM both still have KE-W if M1A1 HC gets M829A2 and Leopard 2 PL gets DM53?

Viggen has no HMS so you’re kinda screwed regardless.

Time to get a Time Machine and convince them to put a HMS on it

Or get gaijin to actually decompress BR’s. Tbf they could add RB28 (cope but i can only hope)

Wym doa the ja37d is already in the game. The Ja37d may also be able to get the rb74m so it would only buff the plane. The plane already faces top tier planes in a up-tier. Also Sweden needs more ARH carrier aircraft.

It already faces f-16s also the sky flash is so horrible that’s why it should get the rb99 and possibly the rb74m. Has good rwr, radar, and cm count.

Because it never mounted RB74M? It makes more sense so get RB28 since its domestic. Besides gaijin is more likely to add the JA37Di as a prem. As for DOA 13.0 with the new BR changes it will be worthless.

Also good RWR? Thats a joke right? The JA37D is alright but if i wanted to play another BnZ fighter id go play the F.3, the JA37D has its place where it is now and the Di should be added to carry ARH when they decompress everything, for now id rather we get a Danish/Norwegian F16A, and the DK/NOR F16 MLU. They would help bring in more diversity for top tier and their combined vehicles could really fill out the 5th air line sweden is missing and help fill a ton of gaps considering gaijin didnt even try to do that with Finland considering its one of the poorly represented subtrees added.

Ground Battles, Pantsir S1. 11.7>12.7. This vehicle outclasses all other SPAA at its same BR right now.

Ground Battles, M1A2 SEP, M1A2 SEP V2. 12.0>11.7.
T-90M, Leopard 2A7V, 122B+, have better armor, firepower, and spall liners. There’s no way the Abram’s are as good as those tanks in game…

Ground Battles, A-10C. 12.0>11.3. There’s no way the slow A-10 which can carry 4 Mavs (should be allowed in game to equip 6 with the T-Pod.) should face advanced ARH A/A missiles and the Pantsir.

Ground RB, Ariete PSO, (11.3 → 11.0), this tank not so long ago recieved weight fix, now it weights 57 t with stock kit and 59 t with PSO tipo 2 kit. It makes the mobility of this variant worse than for other Ariete tanks. At the same time addon armor only adds insignificant protection of sides, which can only help in some situations against autocannons. The frontal armor profile is still the same as on Ariete (P) at 10.3 (10.7 new), which is already weak for that br.
Comments: reload rate remains unchanged, DM53 is changed to previously available CL3143.
PS: currently there is no need to force this tank to stay at higher br as the Italian tech tree already have enough top tier tanks in a form of Ariete AMV and 2A7HU. While there is still place for future additions (Centauro 2, AMV PT2 and etc).
