Planned Battle Rating Changes (January 2026)

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.

XM800T - remove DM63 belt. So you want to nerf falcon and 30 dca by removing apds belt. Then how about removing dm63 from xm, which NEVER used them btw.

The AMX and AMX A-1A should accompany the Hawk to 10.3

We bug reported this about a year ago and got told “Ammunition is added to a vehicle for balance, not a bug”

Wait Sufa doesnt Have NCTR? CAPTOR-M suddenly isnt uncontested king of dogwater radars at top tier lol.

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.
