Planned Battle Rating Changes (January 2026)

Vehicle: F-5E (US/CH)
Gamemode: Ground Realistic Battles
BR Change: 11.3 ----> 11.0
Reason:

The american F-5E is currently at the same BR as the swiss F-5E which has a much better radar and thus has a much easier time finding enemy aircraft, and the thai F-5E/T which have much better AA missiles and ground ballistic computers.

It has no ground ballistics computers so it’s terrible at ground attack, and that even makes using your mavericks a chore since you can’t designate targets on your map and have to either find them on your camera or point your nose directly at potential SPAAs.

There’s also no reason to use it over the F-4E which is better in every way except for maneuverability and engine temp.

Weirdly enough I agree with the J-7D did most my of my china research before it got dropped down to 10.7 the missile might only be rear aspect but has exceptional performance in comparison to all IR missiles around that BR bracket that are non IRCCM.

Snail be trolling

F15s are getting a premium in the near future is confirmed. No other reason its at same BR as f16 netz. f16AJ… any other 12.7 in the game.

The 18E going up (probably the worst 14.3 even compared to non AESA counterparts) it is insane.

AIR REALISTIC

Spitfire LF Mk9 (all countries)

5.7 → 6.3

Insane climbrate and turn performance, on top of not really being bad at anything. Can deny the enemy team the altitude advantage they will NEED to fight it.

master of the bad takes detected

it is very much a helmet mounted display that in-fact displays various targeting symbology

6.3 → 6.7
air RB
P51 H5

straight nightmare fuel to face in a prop it turns very well and has lots of ammo for 50cals and has M20 APIT belts which are good way better than anything at 5.3 the gap in performance is absurd unbeatble for even some 5.7s planes like the 109 K4

USSR aswell?

Yak-15P

6.3 → 5.7

Very sad plane. It can theroretically achieve a higher top speed than most planes it faces, however its terrible climb rate means everyone can just dive on you and take away your speed advantage.

don’t they have a normal Mk.9, not an LF?

my bad it is 5.7 like the others, probably not labelled an LF

P-39 N-0 (USSR)
Air RB, Air Sim
3.0 → 2.7
Plane has same flight performance as US P-39N-0, but does not have access to full HE belt for 37mm and no 7.7 machine guns in the wings. There is no reason for USSR P-39N-0 to be higher BR than US one.

D.520 (Britain), D.521 (Britain)
All game modes
Rank II → Rank III

Why British Dewoitines lower in rank than the French ones? It is exactly the same planes, but in different tech trees.

should anything be done about the sabre dogs? also i’d like to suggets an intermediate spawn for coastal, something in between boats and destroyers just so that stuff like the syonan doesn’t take a thousand years to get to the battlefield while at the same time making sure stuff like M-802s don’t curbstomp the boats they’re fighting by getting a headstart


this is a HMS
what targeting symbology
might as well tape an X to a stick and mount it onto your helmet

ye, but its identical in performance

The tiger ec665 should be at 12.3 in ground because no way it’s at the same br of the mi 28nm and the z 10me
