Planned Battle Rating Changes (January 2026)

No

It is good enough and the ammo box will fix its biggest issue (limited ammo)

It would be nice if it got its S570s tho

It does have the same Merlin 66 engine

Worst AESA radar for the BR as well.

I use AAM-3 and they are pretty effective, more than AIM-9M for sure, but the thing is you rarely get to use them, while enemies keep you long distance. You can’t really make any kind of BVR in this thing, as you will be put at defense till you lose all chaff, not being able to push back because of how AIM-7 bad is against any ARH or R-27ER threat. It is actually the heaviest single seater F-16 in the game, more wing area give it good maneuverability at low speeds, but compresses hard once near Mach 1.

I believe the 18e is the worst top tier aesa and it should remain at 14.3 too

Why on earth is the Cheiftain 900 going up to 9.3 when it is worse than the Khalid in almost every way??

Id still describe that as more like HMS than full HMD that will display aircraft information such as airspeed and altitude.

Though its an overall very grey area

F-100D

Ground Realistic

9.3 → 9.0

The F-100D could be a pretty good CAS plane, if it wasn’t for the buggy CCRP and being the same BR as SAM launchers.

NF5A needs to get a engine nerf tho lowkey cause from what ive seen the engines on it some how out perform the F5E models in certain aspects which is crazy

lower BR than F-14 is crazy

ARB TOPs 15.0

yes but these guns never say RARDEN APDS.

remove the APDS so they are more of a real representation and move them down a chunk to fill SPAA voids

AIR REALISTIC/GROUND REALISTIC

R2Y2 V1 8.0 → 7.3

Worse than Su-11. Worse than F2H-2. Worse than F-84G. Slow, with relatively weak engines.

Mode: Naval AB & RB

Vessel: M-17

Change: 4.3 → 4.0

Reasoning: Basically worse than the M-802 in every single way. Worse survivability, secondaries and overall, just why? Besides sharing the same main armament I feel like it has no real reason fighting the Blag and Moffett swarms.

Have you tried driving the Chieftain Marksman… that alone probably handicaps it at 8.7 at most, and the god-awful radar limits it also. 9.0 is an overkill reaction.

i see why they did it but F14A needs to go down same with the B

Mode: GRB
Vehicle: UH-1B Japan
BR: 7.7 → 7.3

Reason: While getting double the rockets is nice, it is still incredible hard to use the Heli at its current BR, with it only having a 0.27 KDR.

Future premium. Only thing that makes sense.

ADF is 13.3
