Planned Battle Rating Changes (January 2026)

Those are 10.7 due to 6x GBU and a good flight model. AMX A-1A should not be 11.0 however.

Only real men play the F16I Sufa with conformal fuel tanks and max fuel.

Sea Venom FAW.20 (→ Sea Venom FAW.22)
AIR RB 7.7 → 7.3 or / 7.7 → 8.0/8.3 (And give AAM)

The Venom over the years has been increased in BR due to people turnfighting it and losing. It is the worst performing Venom in game due to the increased weight due to the advent of the nose radar. The options are lower it to 7.3 where it has a chance due to performance, or push it up and give it its AAM.

Vehicle: Tu-4 (all variants/nations)
Mode: Air RB
BR Change: 8.0 → 7.7
Reason: This thing is using a legacy BR, last changed probably 5 years ago.
It regularly faces full uptiers to 9.0, where it gets insta killed from 2-5km away by IR or SARH missiles. Its super slow, facing jets that fly 2-4x times as fast it. It should go down at least to 7.7, preferably to 7.3.

Aircraft: F4D Skyray
Mode: Air SB
BR Change: 9.3 → 9.0
Reason: There was no reason to bump it to 9.3 where it´s useless. It´s facing stuff like the Yak-38 with 4xR60 missiles. Now that the Shenyang F-5 is going to 9.0 (where it belongs) this one should as well.

The difference between falcon and xm-800 is that the falcon can still kill enemies just fine without apds
While xm can’t do anything at all

Falcon is also an SPAA, not really to kill tanks.

I’m afraid I might run out of fuel like that. I think it’s safer to play the F-16I with CFT + max fuel + all 3 drop tanks.

Raise the battle rating of all top AA guns starting at 12.3 by +0.3. If you don’t want to change the matchmaking where 11.7 constantly ends up at the bottom of the list, then you need to raise the battle rating of these AA guns. Because everything from helicopters to airplanes with a battle rating of 11.7 is just fodder for them.

Since the German Mi-8TB is going down to 8.0, maybe its time to change the Starter heli for Germany as the Mi-8 will be lower than the SA 313B Alouette I

to defend themselves from the cruelty of life

Vehicle: Su-24M
Mode: Air RB
BR Change: 11.3 → 11.0
Reason: for whatever reason, this is actually igher BR than the MiG-23M, while having only 4xR-60Ms (when spaded), NO tracking radar, only search radar, flies like a bus, possibly even worse than the Su-17M4. Having MAW and better RWR does not warrant higher BR. Its just really bad experience to fly it, especially when facing AIM-7F/Ms.

Having Bhishma levels of mobility at 10.7 is quite lacking if you ask me. Even 10.3 Challenger is faster than you, not to mention other 10.7s like 2A4 or M1.

Vehicle: B-29 (all variants/nations)
Mode: Air RB
BR Change: 7.0 → 6.7
Reason: Legacy BR, havent been changed in a while. Not competetive at all at its own BR, if uptieried is DoA. Barely useful at full downtier.

M10C “Achilles”

Ground BR: No change. Lower reload speed to 5s.

With the recent changes due to the M10’s with the US 76 getting a 5s reload, it is only fair they do this for the Achilles since both vehicles have identical performance outside of the gun they carry.

Once again, monsters don’t have stats like these.

Rooikat Mk.1D

Ground BR: No change. Lower reload speed to 6s.

Rooikat Mk.1D has always suffered from damage issues. It has always suffered from having a NATO standard reload for a 76mm gun, which can hamper the vehicle with follow up shots. It currently sits at 8.7 alongside the Vickers which has a better gun and ammunition, while having the same reload speed to boot.

Ferdiand and another Germans stuff were moved up in the past with similar or even worst stats. Game need more decompression and keep this thing vs 5.7 vehicles is absurb. If Gaijin want keep this in 6.7 HEATFS and APDS should completely removed.

Im always surprised that they even modelled the Gunsight weakspot

another “fun” miss modelling is the CR1/CR2 hulls, Gaijin have it so the flat section of hull roof around the driver tapers in, instead of remaining square

In game

Hull IRL

And they still have better stats, so they should be moved up again if you’re about to move up SU-122-54.
Also, I’d like to see a proof of your claim.

Lol what.
6.7 TD having worse firepower than heavies at that same BR without anything in return. Makes no sense at all.
