Planned Battle Rating Changes (January 2026)

Cant comment on that I am a humble 9.3 ground player so I dont know what kind of balance shenanigans go on those brs

Too many vehicles at 8.0-9.0 BR suffer from extremely toxic SPAAs that shred everything head-on and farm nukes. So what’s the solution? Decompression - yet no one seems to talk about decompression. Instead, most players just want to nerf the few good tanks rather than buff the weak ones by global rebalance and decompression.

I’m sorry, but are you somehow trying to suggest that moving the T-80UD up isn’t a form of decompression?

Vehicle: JAS-39E Gripen
Gamemode: Arcade, Realistic, and Simulator Air Battles
BR Change: 14.0 -----> 14.7
Reason:

The Gripen E is not only one of the very best dogfighters in the game, it also has one of the best secondary armaments and amazing avionics. It doesn’t make sense that an F/A-18E is at a higher BR than the Gripen E.

Right, but not in situations where for example Leopards 123 or Christians have already taken key positions and broken the timing. In those cases, the match turns into a shooting range and ends within minutes.

yes, and rafale should be 15.0

I’m talking about global decompression that affects entire tiers.

The Rafale is already going to 14.7, but the Gripen E is just unfair when it’s not at top tier.

right but moving the T-80UD up is still decompression. and needs to happen.

well you see. Less engine power and one less amraam than the ef surely makes it fair for it to fight 13.0 rn :)

Then let’s just put it at 1.0 so it’s definitely not facing too good enemies.

So the Chinese T-80UD/BE at 10.7 gets second-generation thermals and the same armor, the British Bhishma at 10.7 gets second-generation thermals and T-90 armor - but the T-80UD is expected to stay at 10.7 without proper reverse speed or thermal sights. Makes sense, right?

It still doesn’t have a reverse or gun depression

Most ways that matter include reverse gear of which the T-72/T-90 have none and gun depression that they also lack

FV214 Conqueror

BR (GRB)
7.7 → 7.3

Changes:
Remove its ahistorical Stabiliser (Report)

Without its stabiliser it will be a straight up downgrade to the M103, and is already inferior to its preceding Caernarvon

Stuff M103 has better (some significantly better)

47% higher horizontal speed (16.3d/s vs 24d/s)

Solid shot, a HEAT shell (better ammo selection)

Same reload,

More mobility (a lot lighter (over 10 ton with Conq’s add on armour) with similar engine power)

a .50 cal which helps with the higher number of lighter vehicles at the BR

I’d argue better sights too

Better breech armour

Multiple smaller things that if i listed i would just be being petty

All for the tradeoff for better HEAT protection on the turret, which won’t save you against most HEAT anyway, and the Hull is just as weak to it, before considering the breech, and a Marginal increase in speed (which is inconsequential)

No, what doesn’t make sense is why an MBT-70 is seeing a T-80UD, Chieftain, if they insist on moving it up, ZTZ-96, or an AMX-32 105. also go to bloody Specsavers if you can’t see without a thermal sight, also considering I said moving it up to 10.7. furthermore the Bishma moving up is another topic. I don’t care if the T-80UD is useless for a couple of updates, but 9.3 cannot suffer like this any longer.

Are you insane

i play a lot of low tier britain, bad reverse speed is not a real problem

what part of what he said was insane?

It shouldnt have a stabiliser and is overall worse than the M103.

7.0-7.3 would be fine for it as its APDS sucks

without the stabiliser it would be fine at 7.3

The Conqueror won’t go down and likely stay at 7.7 without the stab if you know anything about Gaijin
