Planned Battle Rating Changes (January 2026)

Naval RB - Dupleix : 5.7 > 5.3.
It is the same class as the Colbert (that is BR 5.3), and while its slightly more armored,it has less gun and is also slower. It’s already one of the weakeast heavy cruiser in the game and should be 5.3 along the Colbert. It does not deserve to be at 5.7.

Understandable for AB, I’ve never touched it. But RB? eeehhh I’d doubt that

Mode: Naval Arcade Battles & Naval Realistic Battles

Ship: HMS Churchill

Change: 3.3 → 3.0

Reasoning: HMS Churchill is one of the most underperforming and weakest destroyers at 3.3 due to its extremely limited armament. Its sole 102 mm primary gun, backed only by mediocre AA weapons, leaves it severely underpowered compared to other destroyers at the same BR. Against 4.3 destroyers, it doesn’t stand a chance and is consistently outclassed. Lowering its BR to 3.0 would make it more playable.

Naval RB - L9059 : 2.7 > 2.3
This ship is pretty big but it’s armor is like paper. Turret rotation is pretty slow and can be tricky to use because of their positioning. Reload is slow. And last,the speed of the ship does not exceed 25 km/h. It would benefit to see his BR decrease to 2.3 where you can use it on a line up with the Aconit.

I would prefer they keep pushing reloads in the direction of faster, considering that there are indications of a 20rpm first minute for the Abrams, but it should stay at 5.0s for the foreseeable future. However, A1 is perfectly acceptable.

F/A–18E moving up to 14.7 is hilarious though I’ll give Gaijin that

ZTZ96
Ground RB
9.3 → 9.7

Similar to the T-72A and T-72M1, the ZTZ96 features respectable turret armor, decent mobility, and incredible firepower that is more on-par with 10.3+ MBTs. It also should not be facing vehicles in the 8.3 range, many of which are firing basic APDS, some of which lack stabilizers, and even some 8.7s.

F-111A

ARB

10.7 → 10.3

Changes:
Upgrade AIM-9B to AIM-9E

for 10.7 its got extremely poor flight performance, and AIM-9Bs are hopeless, AIM-9Es at least stand a chance

Vehicle: TU-4
Gamemode: Air Realistic
BR Change: 8.0 —> 7.0
Reason: Its a B29 with 23mm guns yes they are bigger caliber but they are less and the 0.50cals are deadly too

ZA-35 and XM246 don’t have APDS.
And the rest only get 40 rounds at maximum.

XM246 has probably been confirmed that it should have the APDS belts though.
And with the Swiss gun system, the dedicated APDS box on these guns make removing the APDS more silly than anything.

Falcon should move to 8.0 in ground RB after this change though.
AMX-30DCA IMO is fine cause its radar and guns make quick work of jets.

If reloads are meant to be used for balance, then they should be used for that. If not, time to give everything maximum possible reloads

Mode: Naval AB & RB

Vessel: USS Aylwin

Change: 3.7 → 4.0

Reasoning: Borderline impossible to kill for any 2.7-3.3 boats, also has better protection than its peers at 3.7 and has no obvious ammo rack weak spots. Roughly equivalent to the Erich Steinbrinck and Yukikaze

F-15 at 12.7? there’s zero reason why the 12.7 MiG-29s cant have its R-73s now lmao

I feel battle rating 14.7 (Air AB, RB, SB) it might not be for 4.5 gen fighter aircraft if gajin prepare the early 5th gen infrared Air-to-Air Missile

I’m of the opinion that decompression maximum battle rating to 15.0 or 15.3

I don’t understand that. Neither of them have supercharge at the minute do they?

Vehicle EFV
Game-mode Ground Realistic
BR Change 9.3 - 8.7

Reason - The EFV has practically paper thin armor and minimal penetration to be at 9.3, the Bradley is at 8.3 and has superior penetration, weaponry, and speed compared to the EFV.

Falcon looks to be one of the worst offenders at that range, alongside XM246.

T-34 (1940), T-34(P)

GRB 3.3 → 4.0

While worse armed than the other T-34s at 4.0, these T-34s are lighter with more mobility, and are OBSCENELY strong at 3.3
