Planned Battle Rating Changes (January 2026)

Side note I think I rather would have seen a BOL or HMD addition to the f15A and see it stay 13.0 or 13.3 after some decompression in the whole 13.0-14.3 region this one is kinda lackluster if I’m honest and downright confusing in other cases. why they refuse to just add an extra 1-2 full BR brackets annoys me( yes I know the reasons like que times and “higher quantity of unique aircraft to fight”)

Just realized this.

Mode: Air Realistic Battles

Aircraft: A-7E (Japan)

Change: 10.7 → 10.3

Reasoning: On the Planned BR Changes, the A-7E (USA) is to move to 10.3 from 10.7 A-7E (Japan) is identical and should be included and moved to 10.3. Do not forget this!

the t-80ud has nothing to do at 10.3, it sits at the same BR as the t-72b, turms and t-64b after br changes, which are wildly inferior. This thermal argument is not a valid point to keep it there, there are other exact same vehicles at the same br, where one lacks thermals, such as the MBT-2000 and al khalid, where the khalid has 3rd gen and MBT 1st, which is an equal difference as no thermals and 2nd gen.

I assume it’s because they’re gonna be adding some new missiles to the F/A-18E.

But yeah, it shouldn’t be top tier.

9X will save the F-18 trust

I still haven’t bought the F/A-18E, and I’m too scared to even try it.

your probably right lol

you know what I’m making this conspiracy theory now I’m guessing since the Israeli techtree is getting the best US jet next major update that the f18E is either going to get the 120D, from the file recently. I doubt were seeing the sm6 ones (I cant remember the name), until we get the block 3 or other similar missiles.

it would make sense with the J10 possibly getting the pl15 found in the files similarly.

I hope they go back and add it to some older fighters as well. Stuff like the F-16C.

We’ll see, I’m not looking forward to iir missiles myself

Neither am I, I think WT is more fun when it’s guns only, but I think the average player would disagree with me on that.

That one I will grind in a heartbeat though the current f16C is actually the most playable top tier jet for US right now its actually a non cancerous experience.

I love the F-16C. I’m surprised it’s aged as well as it has.

And the T-80UD has a better shell, sustained fire rate and survivabilty than most 10.7s

Same, its so good in all overall aspects that it still holds up even after nearly 3 years worth of major top tier additions, the F15s will always be my favourite though however with how there treated other than the A its sad to watch
