Planned Battle Rating Changes (January 2026)

imo the IS-2 is fine, it can punch through basically whatever it wants at the cost of being fragile and having a long downtime. Its a tank killer, and its good at that. I guess you could argue that the super pershing also exists, but thats technically also .3 higher, so, i think the IS-2 is fine as is, and any reload buff would need to be met with a .3-.7 uptier depending how much

minor nations are on average better than majors in player skill.

kindly clear off if you want to be an ass. youre proving to be of no worth to conversations ever

IS-2 1944 vs super Pershing guy.

You better hope you only ever 1v1 things, because you won’t ever have a chance otherwise.

Also, thanks to the recent Tiger rework, they eat the 122mms and 100mms from Russian guns fairly often now.

super pershing is also a fat lump that can be crippled by anyone with a shot to its elevation mechanism.

the IS2 hasnt got a “free cripple” spot so its much more practical. moves as fast as mediums do too.

pretty good 6.7 tank as is

That’s how you respond because I disprove you as per usual. Neat.

You have to do one vehicle suggestion per post otherwise they will ignore it completely

hes not wrong, as someone whos grinded all of american top tier and german mid tier, and i have friends who have chinese, british, swedish, and japan done, i can say this much;
minor nations tend to have much more people who actually played the game before, or atleast people who have higher levels, more experience, or are even just have more common sense
major nations have MUCH more “hold w and left click at bad guy!!” (hence how infamously smart american mains are at top tier, and how dumb BMPT players are and still winning)

tldr; its not a 100% statistic, but its not so much minor nation players are above average, its more that they are average, and major nation players are really really really dumb

Is it possible to dislike a comment? This guy doens’t seem to keep his ideas in mind for long enough to finish an argument. I.E the Chieftain 900 is claimed to be just a quicker Mk. 5 as he complains about the Mk. 5 lacking features of more advanced Chieftains. Get a grip, man.

no its literally a mk5 with a more powerful engine. thats all the 900 was

the mk5 is missing the LRF that makes it a chieftain of mk5 specification.

the mk5 we have in game is of the spec of a mk3/2. its just flat out wrong currently

I know chiefs.

When i talk about tanks, especially british ones, Ive often read their manuals and spent a good period of time researching them

there are some advantages imo, like the IS-2 having arguably better armor (from volumetric and weird angles), or that it doesnt have the vertical drive outside of the gun, but then again the IS-2 is technically 6.3, which does account for its longer reload.

I’d have to disagree with you on this one. I have it and it really isn’t as good as it seems

one thing that should be changed in this regard (and this applies for all manual loader tanks) is making the base reload faster even if the maxed reload speed stays the same, if it’s frustrating with a max/expert crew imagine a new player with only a few points in reload, it starts at a base reload of 27 seconds.
That could be a good way to make it less annoying to play without affecting the balance.

Now they get to face the T80UD. Absolutely fantastic, W move gaijin

im for that. Crew skills make performance variation too extreme.

My level 130+ crewslots will always beat a new players level 30 and its by far too much to be fair at all.

Its also taken me almost 4 years of mostly playing one nation to get to that point. Its stupid

im fine for things to be better from grinding towards it but not by such a major edge

honestly crew training especially in reload is such a dumb concept. Notably at top tier you need to spend millions of SL to get a 6.3s reload on most NATO tanks, or 5.3 on the abrams, while russia and japan get a 6s and 4s reload right out of the box, or like you said at lower BRs where the IS-2 needs to wait almost half a minute, while an experienced player with much more skill can shave a good 7s off that just because…hes been here longer? The whole crew system needs to be reworked imo, because its just not fair

Air Realistic:
Mirage 2000C-S5: 12.7 → 12.3

The new proposed BR change for the F-15A is very problematic for multitude of vehicles including the Mirage 2000C-S5.

  • The Mirage 2000C-S5 lacks an MPRF mode like the F-15A which would provide stronger tracking for SARH missiles.

  • The F-15A has twice the amount of SARH missiles as the Mirage 2000C-S5

  • The F-15A has better flight model than the Mirage 2000C-S5

  • The F-15A has twice the amount of IR missiles as the Mirage 2000C-S5.

As it stands, it cannot be the same battle-rating as the F-15A.

Why are you talking about the IS-2 and not the 1944?

reloads arent even the worst bit.

Repair times are insane for low level crews.

a friend of mine plays not ver often, his repair times are double mine for the same damage.

I win repair races 70% of the time from this variation and its not fair at all

1944 has significantly better armor and a DSHK, which i think a well armored tank with the best MG in game, a point and click boom stick, and pretty fair mobility isnt a bad deal
