Planned Battle Rating Changes (January 2026)

I’m assuming Prince of Wales may be scuppered because she didn’t exist after 1941…?

Air RB
F-16A Netz
12.7–>12.3
Considering the fact the damn F-15As are going to 12.7 (this is ridiculous)
why the hell should what is basically a 12.3 block 10 with slightly better 9Ls be 12.7

ZSU-23-4M4

Ground Realistic

9.3 → 10.0

IRCCM SAMs, especially ones on a radar gun SPAA that has very good close range capabilities should NOT be seeing 8.3, or even 8.7s.

Yeah…

Get ready for one of the other 4 to be added as a premium

Why on earth is the F-15A moving down when it’s nowhere near the worst 13.0???

Apparently it’s worse than a MiG-29G, and on par with a MiG-29A.

Who decides this???

Vehicle: Netz & Netz (Mod)

Gamemode: Air Simulator

BR Change: 13.0 ----> 12.7

Reason: The Netz and its premium equivalent have an almost identical performance to the US F-16A which is currently at 12.7, with the only real difference being the Python-3 which whilst stronger in some respects to the Aim-9L, is not an IRCCM missile and so this leaves the Netz far weaker than other equivalents such as the Belgium F-16A or Gripen A that both have Aim-9Ms. Lowering both to 12.7 would be far fairer, especially with how compressed 13.0 is already.

AIR SIMULATOR

F-8E 10.3 → 11.0

Identical to F8U-2 but adds AIM-9C and stronger wings, allowing it to turn even harder and engage targets from the front. Superior weaponry, RWR, flight performance to MiG-21MF (10.7).

because those SPAAs have APDS in their main belt
their
main belt
not a secondary one like gepard
their main belt

Pz IV F2, Pz IV G,

GRB: 3.3 → 3.7

Strong Vehicles, Their lighter nature compared to Pz IV J, and higher Turret Traverse speed offset the worse armour, they should be moved up as they are very strong at 3.3

Su-24M

11.3 to 11.0

reason :

bad fligh performance while having r60m, basicly a su22m4 with less cms and 4 r60m instead of 6.
not to forget it cant go destroy bases as it spawn at 500kmh while fast plane like mig23 with spaw at mach and get all bases

Looks fine to me.

when is the hawk 209 getting its extra missiles and other changes as accepted by the bug report system?

Anyways

Air RB
Q-5A/Q-5L
10.0 to 9.7, because of their lack of A2A missiles, and them being a side grade to a 9.3, they deserve a lower BR. They should not be the same BR as something like the Hunter F.58, or just below the J35XS or F-8U.

Nuke carrier from 7.7 onwards

B29 → B57

Tu-4 → IL-28

Now that both jets are 7.7 in GRB they should also replace the nuke carriers at these BRs

nobody tell him there’s a centurion with the same dart and lrf, but also ERA, very good gun handling, and actual somewhat plausible mobility at 8.7

VT5
Ground RB
Add BTA2 (DTC02) APFSDS

At 11.7, the VT5 is literally equal to or worse than the Type 90 in all regards. It lacks meaningful armor protection (which is fine) but needs to offset this with greater firepower, as its mobility is not appreciably higher than some of the MBTs it faces. Other improved munitions would also be welcome.
