Planned Battle Rating Changes (January 2026)

So is it a radar problem or a missile problem

isn’t that enough? :)

There are some good changes but still,
Though the 14.7-Rank XI is a good start, it will only help 13.3 aircrafts. 13.0-12.7 planes will face uptier even more frequently than currently (which is already awful) due to 13.3 not getting sucked in top tier games anymore; the same logic can probably be applied to 12.3 as well.
Su30mkk and mk2 are still at 13.3 which is ridiculous for an aircraft with 6 fox3 (or r27er/et) and 4 IRCCM fox 2.
r27er still overpowers other fox 1 by a lot which allows russian missile trucks to play how ever they want if they aren’t dumb.

They can be good, it’s just map dependend. And Freccia having what, 8 spikes ? Makes it pretty good.

Fact that the AMX 30 DCA is at a high br then the gepard is wild with this change

honestly this is just what happens with most rounds on the side of bmpt’s, although ags does 100% still need m900

I see but how do you deal with the spaa.

Not really when armor is your selling point.

ARB or GRB?

If we really talk about the strength of this thing, isn’t the BMP2M even stronger? The BMP2M can directly force its way through all MBTs from the front, whereas the 2S38 still needs to find a way to flank to the side.

Good one Russian Main, GOOD ONE

From what i’ve heard from people with it. Its basically spam them at anything and everything you see, and if the blood sacrifice you made prior to launch was good enough, you might get a few kills. You might not.

My experience with the Boxer has been much the same

10 Spikes, pretty good.

Honestly, I think this adjustment is worse than doing nothing. The F-15A is now 12.7, making existing 12.7 fighters obsolete, while the J-10C and F/A-18E are 14.7. Meanwhile, the F-15C GE and Su-30SM/MKM remain at 14.3. Does Gaijin even play WarThunder?

Yeah, its all nonsense

ASB lol

Mode: Air Realistic

Vehicle: F4F-Early (germany)

BR Change: 10,7 → 10,0

Reasoning: Its the only flaresless plane that sits so high. It constantly faces planes with all aspect IR missiles. It only has rear aspect 18G IR missiles to defend itself. It even has to face potent radar missiles which it cant defend without chaff.

Oh right, then, pretty easy.

I dont bother with battlefields or convoys, because… I just dont see the point, but bases and naval targets are stupidly easy between CCIP and CCRP. Even AFs are a doddle as you can climb super high really easily and use the bomb sight

14.7 IS NOT ENOUGH!!!

Battleratings are compressed to oblivion, and altrough +0.3 is something, that won’t change much overall.

Regarding the preliminary BR changes for AirRB:

1-Why keep the gripen E lower in BR than the likes of the J-10C?? It should share the same BR.

2-WHY move 13.0 F-15s to 12.7?? Are you crazy? They aren’t the best like the su-27 but they are way too strong for 12.7, considering the other 12.7 don’t move down. There are many 13.0 jets that are worse than the 13.0 F-15s. It’s outrageous to keep the F-14B or the belgian F-16A higher in BR than the F-15A for example.

3-Why F-16I Sufa remains at 14.0? Regardless of some 14.0/14.3 going up, it is at its core a 13.7 jet.

4-Why the squadron F-16 OCU doesn’t go to the same BR as the WORSE variant in the TT that sits at 13.0? If anything, the TT belgian F-16A could go down, or preferably move most 13.0+ up by a step to create some decompression.

I would give my BR changes recommendations, but with just 14.7 as top BR, most of them are not really possible to do because it would create different issues.
