Planned Battle Rating Changes (January 2026)

i hope the amx a-1a will finally move down a bit more
it shouldnt be higher with worse missiles and a worse gun than the tech tree one

Also disabling both of its turrets takes a huge chunk of its crew away

F8U-2 10.0 → 10.7

Flares, great missiles and guns, great flight performance. Completely ruins 10.0.

Vanguard does, but its only enough to justify being 0.3 higher than Hood.

KGV, dont think so. Rileyy is working on it I think

7.0 is much too low
7.7 is possible
but no lower
those 23mm guns are lethal

Pz IV H

3.7 → 4.0

This is a very strong 3.7, it should be moved upwards

As Gaijin seem to have forgotten about prop balancing, I would like to make a number of proposals, starting with the Yak fighters.

As you most likely already know, most Yaks are incredibly strong at their respective BRs, but I believe several of them should have their BRs increased.

First of all, the Yak-3e and Yak-3 are quite undertiered, and I would propose sending both of them to 4.7 at the very minimum, and possibly to 5.0 if Gaijin are feeling generous. I propose 5.0 as an upper limit on the basis that the 3P is still perfectly competent at that rating without feeling overpowered. What it gains in stopping power, it loses in a slight augmentation of mass, so I think having all of the derivatives of the Yak-3 at 5.0 would be fair, due to the fact that they would effectively become sidegrades.

The next Yak I would propose to be moved up to 5.0 is the Yak-9U. Again, incredibly strong at its BR, the VK-107 is an absolutely monstrous powerplant (but less ergonomic to play than the Yak-3 as it does require MEC to maximise its potential), and some of the less meta planes at that BR could benefit from seeing the 9U a little less often.

Finally, in the most egregious case of a Yak being undertiered, there is the Yak-3U, at the lowly rating of 5.7. While I understand its placement may be a reflection of ShVak cannons (and by extension B-20s) in the past being a shadow of what they are currently, it is time for Gaijin to take stock of the situation and deal with it accordingly. Something like a Bf-109 K-4 (more on the later 109s in a bit) cannot hope to win against a Yak-3U pilot who is even halfway towards being competent, and as they inhabit the exact same BR, this is a clear example of a failed attempt at balance (if, indeed, there ever was an attempt in the first place). As the 3U is almost perfectly tailored for the current lower-altitude Air RB meta, putting it at 6.3 or even 6.7 would not hinder its performance significantly.

Another plane I would propose to move up is the Spitfire LF IX. Like the 3U, it is almost a bespoke fit for the current air RB meta, and only really falls short on the grounds of its straightline speed not being exceptional. I believe anywhere between 6.0 and 6.7 would be fine for it.

I promised to mention the later Bf-109s (namely the G-6, G-10, G-14, and G-14AS). As they are effectively sidegrades of one another, with the major differences being which altitude their engines are tuned for, I believe all of the late Gustav variants of the 109 would be perfectly fine at 5.0. The K-4, in the ideal world, would stay at 5.7, but if the more oppressive planes at its BR do not move, perhaps taking the K-4 to 5.3 would alleviate some of its shortcomings.

Also send the BI to 7.3 I hate that thing with a passion.

I’m assuming Prince of Wales may be scuppered because she didn’t exist after 1941…?

Air RB
F-16A Netz
12.7–>12.3
Considering the fact the damn F-15As are going to 12.7 (this is ridiculous)
why the hell should what is basically a 12.3 block 10 with slightly better 9Ls be 12.7

ZSU-23-4M4

Ground Realistic

9.3 → 10.0

IRCCM SAMs, especially ones on a radar gun SPAA that has very good close range capabilities should NOT be seeing 8.3, or even 8.7s.

Yeah…

Get ready for one of the other 4 to be added as a premium

Why on earth is the F-15A moving down when it’s nowhere near the worst 13.0???

Apparently it’s worse than a MiG-29G, and on par with a MiG-29A.

Who decides this???

Vehicle: Netz & Netz (Mod)

Gamemode: Air Simulator

BR Change: 13.0 ----> 12.7

Reason: The Netz and its premium equivalent have an almost identical performance to the US F-16A which is currently at 12.7, with the only real difference being the Python-3 which whilst stronger in some respects to the Aim-9L, is not an IRCCM missile and so this leaves the Netz far weaker than other equivalents such as the Belgium F-16A or Gripen A that both have Aim-9Ms. Lowering both to 12.7 would be far fairer, especially with how compressed 13.0 is already.

F-8E 10.3 → 11.0

Identical to F8U-2 but adds AIM-9C and stronger wings, allowing it to turn even harder and engage targets from the front. Superior weaponry, RWR, flight performance to MiG-21MF (10.7).

so?? b29 is Lethal too its a superfortress its supose to be lethal, while in 8.0 i have died multiple times from f*cking AIM-7

Pz IV F2, Pz IV G,

GRB: 3.3 → 3.7

Strong Vehicles, Their lighter nature compared to Pz IV J, and higher Turret Traverse speed offset the worse armour, they should be moved up as they are very strong at 3.3

Su-24M

11.3 to 11.0

reason :

bad fligh performance while having r60m, basicly a su22m4 with less cms and 4 r60m instead of 6.
not to forget it cant go destroy bases as it spawn at 500kmh while fast plane like mig23 with spaw at mach and get all bases
