Planned Battle Rating Changes (January 2026)

Naval

USS Aylwin 3. 7 > 4. 0

It got moved down for no apparent reason as it compares very favourably with Bagley that remained 4.0. It has fewer torpedos and lacks the shield on the fwd. 5" guns but also has significantly better secondaries. Other stats differ only slightly.

At 3. 7 it’s supposedly equivalent to starter DDs such as Germanys T22, despite having better guns (5in vs 4in), much more ammo, and access to HE-VT which more than compensates for the T22s extra 3.7cm secondaries.

its only makes the side from 38 to 50mm meaning at angle it still can be penned by majority of 3.3s cause they have around 90mms of pen or more

I’m an F-15 fan, but I think that the F15A to 12.7 is too far. Although im suprised the F-15J isn’t foldered underneath the F-4EJ KAI, especially with how big Japan rank 8 is now

Yes you can, if you are unable to notch or even multipath against a greater enemy you are NOT meant to be playing the BR.

Su-7 (ALL)

9.0 → 9.3

No Supersonic should be 9.0, there isn’t any counterplay for everything below or at its BR, and is a credible fighter threat, unlike Yak-28

Vehicle: AMX-30 DCA
Gamemode: ground realistic
BR Change: 8.7 → 8.3

Since the sole reason of its br raise previously was due to its fairly effective capability of anti-ground with APDS, while, it’s anti-air capability is absolutely abysmal due to Terrible radar , Fire control and no stabiliser.

I believe it is justified to reduce its battle rating due to It’s inferior AA capabilities compared to most SPAA around its BR range , while Having similar or slightly worse anti-ground capability now without the special 1 in 4 APDS belt.

Vehicle: falcon
Gamemode: ground realistic
BR Change: 8.3->8.0

Similar reason to Above, It does not have a radar and it’s only niche Was APDS Mix with its belt to provide a superior anti ground capability, Now that it is gone , It has no niche compared to every single same BR SPAA in anti tank warfare Wow, having literally no anti-air in this Br environment

Yak-9UT

Air Realistic

5.7 → 6.0

Very similar in performance to the Yak-3U but not quite as good. It’s still too strong for 5.7.

The F-15A/F-15J/Baz should not be going down in BR

Also, why is the Falcon not going in BR despite losing the APDS belt?

F-15J goes down to 12.7 and the F-2A ADTW has literally the same air to air loadout.

F-2A ADTW has AESA radar and better low speed maneuverability, but both don’t make it any better than the F-15J in the current state of ARB.

HMS not HMD

Absolutely not, it is easily in the top 3rd of all 13.0 planes. Moving it down would mean the F-14B, all Harriers, Gripen A, F-16A, and several other 13.0s would all need to move to 12.7 or 12.3 in order to make a premium not blatantly OP. It’s even better than the already OP F-18C earlys.

Mode: GRB
Vehicle: AB 205 A-1
BR: 7.7 → 7.0

Reason: With only 14 rockets and mini guns that do nothing to enemy tanks it has very little use, maybe give it scouting or something, because ATM its uesless.

it also laughs at downtiers and walks all over certain teams

Su-27, Su-33, and J-11 without Fox-3s are 13.0. Not saying I agree with the F-15 change but idk how equivalent I’d say they are considering they can carry 27ERs and ETs and more missiles in general.

Yak 3 (VK-107)

ARB 5.7 → 6.0

Very good plane, should be moved up

(DE) Turm III
RB
8.3 → 8.7

This is a extremely powerful with a tool for pretty much situation, along side a stabiliser, while yet sitting along side vehicles such as the Mars 15, T95E1, & T-55A.
The true issue here is compression in the 8.0-9.0 bracket and this is a good first step to fixing that.

It is either that or AIM-7P
fox-1 vs fox-3s .3 brs above is not a fair matchup in any way

All the 14.3’s going up while all the premium Su30’s (Su30MK2 AMV, Su30MKK) staying at 13.3 is crazy. I’m calling it right now that it should go up to 13.7 or it will dominate the 13.7 - 12.3 BR bracket

I have over 5 HUNDRED battles in the Antelope, this BR decrease is both not enough, and far too late.

Now that you’ve given every idiot and their inbred child access to “free” SPAA, the antelope is outranged in every single battle.
