Planned Battle Rating Changes (January 2026)

TWS+ is only for mechanical radar right?

Yeah I think so. At least all the planes I own with AESA radars have TWS ESA instead of TWS+. Iirc it was introduced to help with the ghosting issues of mechanical radars (not that it helped much).

Yeah, afaik there wasn’t a change really
It still feels like ass at top tier

No, its there for esa as well. It was to help with double scanning of all radars

I was mistaken. I always thought it had an AESA radar. Looking at it now, its Battle Rating is also set too high.

Buccaneer S.2B
AIR RB 10.7 - > 10.3

The A10 has AIM9Ls has a gun and good manoeuvrability. The Buccaneer ok it gets aim 9ls. But it has No guns, Not enough flares to resist 11.7 onslaught. Too slow and heavy and can never get a base due to it not being fast enough. This plane needs an air spawn and to be moved down in BR.

I would disagree here
It’s too slow to be manouverable in any way

Other than that I agree

it really doesn’t matter

At least it was bearable if your mechanical radar had the good NCTR.

The F-16I has no NCTR at all, so the game pretty much just told you “good luck and have fun figuring out which targets are what and which are even real.”

sex is very much not bad thank you

They should just make it so missiles dont show up in tws. Its impossible to sort through the clutter even with nctr

It’s possible to sort through
Just annoying
What they really should do is remove ai planes from EC maps
Or even normal maps
All they do is distract my radar so I can’t spot enemies

The A10 as a good ability to turn tight and get guns on or get a missle off, which is better than the buc can at least. Buc turns like a brick and can’t outrun anything at or above its br.

I started using my mouse to click targets on the radar hud lmao thats how bad it is. You can make it work with difficulty on modern radars but I just dont think its possible without nctr

All you need to do to defeat an A-10 is go vertical
It’s really not hard

Yeah agree, but at least it can defend itself with a gun. The buc really doesn’t have much going for it hence the comparison to a 10.3 A10.

it’s just a name that stuck
i mean, i don’t think turtles should go to war either

Venom FB.4
AIR RB 8.7 → 8.3/8.0

The Venom over the years has been increased in BR due to people turnfighting it and losing. It is now the same BR as the Hunter F.1 and Sabre F-2 and MiG-17 that all perform better than it. It should be lowered to 8.3/8.0 to reflect its performance.

If thet arent made for war how come they got built in armor

Vampire FB.5
AIR RB 8.0 → 7.7

The Vampire over the years has been increased in BR due to people turnfighting it and losing. It is now the same BR as the MiG-15 and MiG-15bis (ISH) and Sabre A-5 and Meteor F.8’s that all perform better than it. It should be lowered to 7.7 to reflect its performance.
