Planned Battle Rating Changes (January 2026)

less of an issue if APHE wasnt just a death ball.

Vehicle: T-72B3 ‘Arena’ (USSR)
Gamemode: Ground Realistic Battles
BR Change: 11.0 ----> 11.3 or 11.7
Reason:
While it is true that this vehicle lacks the ‘T-72B3 UBH’ upgrade, making it slower and less armored than the tech-tree T-72B3, this does not justify moving an 11.7 BR tank down to 11.0.

Gaijin has already established a precedent with the T-80U and T-80UM2: event or special vehicles equipped with APS (Active Protection Systems) often maintain the same BR as their tech-tree counterparts, even if they underperform in other specific areas. Furthermore, the T-72B3’s performance is far too superior to be placed at 11.3, as it would be grossly overpowered compared to vehicles like the Merkava Mk.3 or M1A1 at the same Battle Rating.

Therefore, the planned buff to 11.3 for the T-72B3 should be reverted, and the T-72B3 ‘Arena’ must be adjusted to 11.7. Keep in mind that the T-80UM2 remains at 11.7, despite being equipped with the ‘Drozd’ system, which is objectively inferior to the ‘Arena’ APS.

PL-12s do not have the best range
do not try to tell me something that isn’t true
if you want range the AIM-120C-5 is in that spot
then R-77-1 and AM-120B

Su-30SM2, Rafale C F3, Rafale M F3-R
Air RB
14.3 → 15.0
Because 14.7 is not high enough for these monstrously powerful planes. The F/A-18E is NOT an Su-30SM2 equivalent.

He is right tho. Go to statshark and check the missiles out. Unless you are firing from 30km+ out the a/b reaches the target faster and better while having more pull

Mode: GRB
Vehicle: Wessex HU MK5
BR: 9.0 → 8.7

Reason: Due to increased size over the Wasp it is much harder to dodge SPAA, the stats refelct this as its KDR is 0.41 vs 0.78 for the Wasp.

Which doesn’t exclude the fact that Su-30MKK and Su-30MK2 is performing far better than any other vehicle in their battle rating and lower, Su-34 in other hand do have a decent airframe and very good radar but is far from effective as Su-30MKK or Su-30MK2.

I didn’t mention the F-16C for a reason. It and planes like the Gripen C don’t need an increase.

Actually no, AIM-120C-5s while having longer range have a longer time to target, and overall are worse than 120Bs in all other aspects within 30km.

T72B3 is going down to 11.3.It is such a wrong idea to implement

IPM1 equivalent onggggg Russian bias is NOT real

It gives it an extra 10km of range in-game. That is the only noticeable change it gives (which is not an impactful one, as you’ll never engage a target at those ranges). Furthermore, 120Cs perform worse than 120Bs and 120As; this is why Gaijin was later forced to give it Derby missiles.

F16A ADF

13.3 → 12.7
removal of AIM120A and put back where they belong as they cant move up with the Su30s without more missiles as there to good to be 13.3 to bad to be 13.7s

It should get IRCCM Missiles like virtually every other 13.0 if it gets moved up.

The F15A at 12.7 is too strong. it should remain at 13. and raise everything 13.0 and above. bring the max to 15.0. we have too many aircrafts already.

The F2 ATW and the premium SU30s are undertiered. bring them up

The plane is better than the J-11A which i think should also go up in br. Fox 3 slinging flankers should be at 13.7 minimum

Naval

HMS Saumarez 4.3 > 4.0 ***’

Any attempt to manoeuvre causes her to heel over excessively preventing accurate offensive fire, assuming you can even see the target at this point. The only way to use effectively is therefore to broadside in a straight line (or by standing still) which makes you a big target.

***alternatively fix her and keep at 4.3!?!

Solid Proposals by Gaijin. Am surprised. The only one I could think to include or that I would like to see is for a decrease in the chance in fighting 6.7 Tiger IIs in my 5.7 Shermans. So perhaps:

Ground Realistic Battles:
M4A2 (76) W - 5.3 > 5.0
M4A3 (76) W - 5.7 > 5.3

I don’t know the viability of increasing the Tiger II to 7.0. I don’t see the Tiger II struggling as much against say an 8.0 M60 as the 5.7 Sherman does against the Tiger II.

Either or but whichever seems more fair.

T72B3 is not good at first.But this thing has UBH kit

ELDE98

12.0 unfolded → 12.0 folded with ITO90M

it’s an already lackluster of an AA, it’s a useless bloat to the AA line of sweden and putting it in a folder would help who is grinding the AA line as both Ito and Elde are 12.0
