Planned Battle Rating Changes (January 2026)

nobody tell him there’s a centurion with the same dart and lrf, but also ERA, very good gun handling, and actual somewhat plausible mobility at 8.7

VT5
Ground RB
Add BTA2 (DTC02) APFSDS

At 11.7, the VT5 is literally equal to or worse than the Type 90 in all regards. It lacks meaningful armor protection (which is fine) but needs to offset this with greater firepower, as its mobility is not appreciably higher than some of the MBTs it faces. Other improved munitions would also be welcome.

mans speaking straight facts right there

Panzerjäger I Ausf.B: Add 4,7 cm Sprgr.36 (t) (HE round) it has no MG and the HE round has 180g TnT/Np.10 Filler, which without higher TnT equivalent already is 10g higher than the 170g overpressure minimum.

because its played by luddites, in either case it has no business being 0.7 below the other T-34s for a somewhat worse gun, and better mobility

Sherman II
Ground RB
3.7 → 3.3

The Sherman II has all the same weaknesses as the standard M4A1, which the addition of APCR will not fix. While the APCR is a nice bonus, it is by far not the primary round used with the Sherman II, and thus should not be the cause for its raised BR. The APCR could be removed with no consequence.

Also no moving up in BR of T-58?

Tbh, I’d rather these things get the extra KH-25ML on the inner wing pylons, the Kab-500Kr, and the KH-25MT.

Also their RWR prolly has more bandwitdh irl than we think.

They are about as good as the M4A1 75mm that is also 3.3

from 7.3 its better the me262 are deadly against b29s

So just like any other vehicle at that BR ?

The Sherman II doesn’t have the weak edges

XM246

Ground Realistic

8.3 → 9.0

The Gepardy vehicles have been far too strong for far to long now, both with overperforming APHE, and radar gun SPAA facing 1940s and 50s planes. Sane should apply to the rest of the Gepards.

Wouldn’t send it all the way to 10.0 straight off, but it should definitely go up. The Imp Chap is 9.0/9.3 depending on the version, and some of those have caged Sidewinders only. As opposed the Shigla, with guns, radar, Iglas, the lot.

Definitely 9.7 lowest.

it’s still a cast hull

Why is the F/A-18E going from 14.3 to 14.7? It’s already bad at 14.3, worse than 14.0 JAS-39E for example.

Barely anyone plays it and the stats are horrible. What’s the point of decompressing an underperforming aircraft?

It can’t even defend itself against the weakest props it can see

They should probably keep the F-15 where they are right now and give the F-14A AIM-9Ls and the F-14B the AIM-9M

These two aircraft have been left in the past and have been forgotten because every so often a plane cluelessly dies to the AIM-54
