Planned Battle Rating Changes (January 2026)

Vehicle: USS South Dakota
Gamemode: naval realistic
BR Change: 8.3 → 8.7
Reason: Having better armour than her 8.7 successor, her only weakpoint is slow 16’’ gun, though it is still better than most 8.3 battleship guns.

That’s not what I asked a Puma could also easily penetrate a tank with APDS on side armor

Vehicle: Su-17M4/Su-22M4/Su-22M4 WTD61
Gamemode: Ground Realistic
BR Change: 11.0 —> 10.7
Reason: in its capabilities it’s quite similar if not slightly weaker than Su-25BM and should be at least same BR as it.

Doesn’t stop me from suggesting that it go down. It should not be 10.7 in air. Especially when you have the Su-25K at 10.3.

this is a joke

F/A-18E with that BR adjustment give it F414-EPE to compensate being the most sluggish at 14.7

We talk about the round not the armor

if you drive into this in something like a hstvl you basically can only pray they dont notice you lol (hstvl is ,7 br higher)

its better than the XM800T since you can’t kill anything stock with that, they should remove the HVAP stock and just give it DM63 from the get-go, I mean you can’t even kill an IKV-91 frontally ffs

Vehicle: AGS

BR change: Move it down to 11.3/11.0

Reasoning: It’s just a tracked M1128 minus the good M900 shell idk what it’s doing fighting BVMs and 2A7Vs with a shell with just ~350mm of pen, unless you are a sharpshooter you may as well be cannon fodder. But I digress, it’s only ever used by people who actually know their stuff…

Add L23A1 and the engine upgrade

Yeah… maybe we need to start playing as badly as the Americans do, and we could have the Tornado F3 at 11.3

Give it its HEAD or stingers to push it up till armour doesn’t matter, they can add GLAADS or something at 8.3 to compensate

Vehicle: J-10C
Mode: Air RB
Change: BR 14.3 - > 14.0
Reason: It doesn’t have the flight performance to make use of the kit, it’s just not competitive against Eurofighters, Rafales or Su-30SM2s. It’s significantly worse than most current 14.3 planes.

Alternatively, a version with WS-10B may resolve the issues.

I’m a little bit disappointed in these br changes. There are so many vehicles and brs that need attention that have just been ignored or have even in some cases been shafted even harder. For example: The Phantom FG1, it’s at 12.0 and in this current matchmaker it consistently fights 12.3 and 12.7, in my experience it actually performs quite well against other jets at its own br, but this happens soo rarely that it might as well not be a factor. On top of that, these br changes will make it fight jets like the F15 even more likely, a fight I have only managed to win once out of hundreds of games.

And instead of doing things that would help br compression like mass increases of br to give room below them, they increase the br of the only “viable” chieftains? I get that having a dart + laser + good armour + stabilizer is a bit crazy against 8.0, but it’s not deserving of putting it as the same br as the KPZ 70 or T64A.

Chieftain mk3/mk5

Ground RB
8.7 → 8.3

chieftains are in an awful position rn, they’re as good as the m60a1 AOS but at a higher BR, and it’s just as protected- m60a1 not having the LFP weakspot and can work from any position without having to be stuck hull down -, but both are slower and more sluggish than the m60 AOS. it’s absurd to have them in that br when the olifant mk1 is at 8.3 with m111 darts and a laser range finder

Ground RB 9.0 → 9.0

It should stay at 9.0. In what world is this equivalent to the Magach 7C at 9.3?

Nope we get the Frs.1 at 11.3

I don’t even know how it’s that high considering its kit and flight performance.

Granted I think I’m the only one who plays it.
