Planned Battle Rating Changes (January 2026)

same RWR and radar as the MKK

That’s… an interesting decision.

? R-27Rs have lower range than AIM-7Fs. Mainly in part to the insanely high drag profile.

Well, you see, MiG-19 also happens to have one of the best accelerations and climb rate at it’s br. So there’s not much choice.

no, literally nothing besides R-73 and one more minute of fuel due to slightly modified engines (also bitching betty over the Russian one)

Vehicle: F-4J
Gamemode: Air Simulator
BR Change: 12.0 —> 11.7
Reason: Despite its advantage in long-range combat due to the AIM-7F missiles, the American F-4J pays for this with significantly degraded flight performance compared to the British Phantoms. Their radar systems are comparable, and their close-range missiles (AIM-9G) are identical. Moreover, the British FG.1/FGR.2 possess superior dynamics, climb rate, and are equipped with more countermeasures and the same RWR. In close combat, this negates the F-4J’s primary advantage. Considering all these factors together, I believe these aircraft deserve to be at the same BR.

CRV to 10.0 lmao

Well, you’re right, they can leave both standard F-14s at 12.7 or leave the F-14A at 12.7 and the B at 13.0 but give them better missiles so they can be competitive

I don’t know, maybe giving the F-14A the AIM-9L and perhaps the AIM-7M, and the F-14B the AIM-9M; if they give the B the Sparrowhawk upgrade, maybe also the AIM-7P, but the most important thing is that they fix the AIM-54s.

Vehicle: Su 30 MK2 AMV and Su30 MKK

Gamemode: Air Realistic

BR Change: 13.3 to 13.7

Change: none

Reason: Fighter jets like the F-16D, MiG-29N and SMT, JF-17, and F-16 MLU/ADF are light fighters with 6 missiles; they are rated 13.3 because they are too weak to be rated 13.7 and have a low payload. Extending that line to the Su-30 is madness.

If I had to completely overhaul the changes for top tier Air RB, it’d look something like this honestly.

(MKI is meant to be MKM oops)

They should be 13.0 if the F-15 was also 13.0

If the F-15 goes down, so should the Flankers

No it doesn’t

if spike worked its 10.3 but right now its just a badger with a usable turret

Its not the worst 10.7 spike launcher lol no its fine

Also for all the grouping I’m seeing here I must need to clean my glasses because I can’t seem to find where the folders are for the blatantly copy and pasted Eurofighters? It’s just an AESA. That barely warrants having to spade the plane again much less grind the whole plane out again.

AIM7M doesnt have data link so you cant TWS lock them at range so you can use full range of the R27R1 and the F15 cant thats why AIM-7P is so op on the premium

MKI is meant to be MKM oops

the flankers absolutely should not go down
flankers dominate every br they are at
why the hell should they go to a lower br

MKV has a better rwr,

But it’s heavier, has the same A2A loadout, same radar, same engines…

But at this point if the F-2A ADTW is considered undertiered then basically every 13.0 is Mirage 4K Su-27/J-11 Fox 3 Viggen F4F ICE list goes on with the exceptions being 13.0 harriers and maybe just maybe Gripen A. (We are all aware that 12.3-13.3 feels somewhat hyper compressed at this point)
