Planned Battle Rating Changes (January 2026)

Tiger II 10,5cm

Ground RB 7.0 → 7.3

It’s a direct upgrade over the T29 which is already a good 7.0 tank

If FGR.2 were to get AIM-9Ls, I could see it go to 12.3.
I know F-4EJ Kai is better but FGR.2 with 9Ls and SuperTEMPs would have a chance at 12.3

FG.1 with rear aspect missiles only and SuperTEMPs can stay then at 12.0, as is the case with its US cousins.

Vehicle: T-72B3A
Gamemode: Ground Realistic
BR Change: 12.3 —> 11.7-12.0
Reason: in all areas where it matters it’s the same tanks as T-72B3, adding APS to an okay tanks shouldn’t increase its BR by two steps…as all it saves from is CAS and not increases it’s capabilities against over MBT’s

F-15J with AAM-3 at same BR as MiG-29 with R-60M is crazy

and if they were all to move up?

Like can you really give me a reason why the M1A1 HC/Clickbait is 12.0 but the M1A2 SepV1 is 12.7?

Surely they should all be 12.7?

Just seems like US player stats are dragging top tier tanks down into lower BRs

Mode: Naval AB & RB

Vessel: AK-225

Change: 4.3 → 4.7

Reasoning: One of the best Cold War versatile boats that’s currently overperforming due to rapid-firing 30mm and 76mm cannons. They can shred WWII-era coastal boats with little effort and should be moved up.

It needs to move down BR even with the air spawn, if it loses its air spawn it should be 8.3, with the air spawn it should be 8.7

yes very frfr

yes, I can’t wait to play it

Sd.Kfz.234/2 Rank II → Rank III. It already moved up to BR 3.7 and germany doesnt have any other rank III Light tanks until much later.

IRIS-T SLM

Ground Realistic

12.7 → 12.3

There are multiple things wrong with the IRIS-T SLM (see all the open bug-reports).
While it is effective against aircraft, the effectiveness at intercepting munitions is abyssmal.
LMURS, Kh-39MTs and so on often slip by the radar, and even if fired at, the SLM just misses, resulting in a destruction.

The existance of LDRICM on most of the helicopters in Top-Tier make it even less reliable.

So either the issues with the SLM get fixed, or the BR lowered.

Did it secretly get buffed somehow? The Liscomb last time I remembered is fairly easy to ammorack at least with something like the PT-812

Vehicle: J21A-1/J21A-3/A21A-3

Gamemode: ARB

BR Change: 4.3 → 4.0

How can it stay at 4.3 for so many years?

ARB

A-7E 10.7 → 9.7

I bears the same missile as the AV-8C with worse flight performance. 10.3 is still too high.

Many of these changes (and lack thereof) are utter nonsense

Vehicle: FA/18E
Gamemode: Air Realistic
BR Change: 14.3 → 14.3
the super hornet is already a terrible plane, you are barely supersonic (slower than the F-18C Late in fact) which effectively turns you into a glorified A-10 with fox-3s in a supersonic lobby as you are unable to compete even against R-77s in BVR and have missiles with terrible WVR performance.
Not to mention the F-15C GE having a very similar kit and being just better as the airframe can go fast

Vehicle: Su-30MKK/MK2
Gamemode: Air Realistic
BR Change: 13.3 → 13.7,
Gamemode: Ground Realistic
BR Change: 12.3 → 12.7

Both of these premiums are among the best for their battle rating, with just the J-11A being around the same level if not better and completely outclassing every other 13.3
They are literally a MiG-29SMT with slightly worse radar and a better fm + missile loadout in air RB
Not to mention the F-16A having worse missiles, and less countermeasures being the same br as them? This makes no sense
As for ground RB, both of these are effectively an Su-27SM wish one less R-77 but two more KH-29s. At a lower br

Balancing these planes based on average player statistics is complete nonsense as everyone knows that premium vehicles have lower statistics than they should as they get bought out by a lot of new players who don’t know how to use them
Not to mention aircraft limited to fox-1s (sparrows mainly) at just .3 brs lower stand literally 0 chance offensively against them thanks to fox-3s letting them just push fox-1 aircraft with 0 fear of being pressured.

Gaijin, I highly suggest you actually play this game yourself, time and time again you make it very clear that you have never actually touched it yourself, nor have you learned why and how vehicles are balanced/unbalanced. It is incredibly sad to see what you are doing to completely destroy the balance of this game

Why?

Buc S1 is 8.7 with no airspawn, why is the Marut worse than the Buc S1?

The Falcon doesn’t have a radar and the DCA is a lot worse than the radar Oerlikons

If so then the su22m4 should go down as well since its kinda worse than the mig 27m and k
