Planned Battle Rating Changes (January 2026)

Ground Realistic

Yak-3U

5.7 → 6.3

One of the strongest fighters in the game for its BR, especially at lower altitudes. The thing is, most fights in the game, is being taken place at the lower altitudes, where it have the advantage. This is multiplied massively in GRB, since everything is concentrated on the small area at the ground, making it really effectively in GRB even though it have armaments against ground… The Yak-3U is the worst offender of the Yak-3’s, being near UFO like flight performance, easily outperforming other planes that are located at a lot higher BR.

Tier 9??? noooo please, more tiers does nothing but make grinding annoying

With less countermeasures and worse flight performance and worse sensors. It’s balanced.

removing the belt with a single apds shell from the falcon without moving it down in br is crazy but i can understand as it could really only fire HE, HEI-T, APHEI AND APIC-T ,
but only reason it is at the curren br is due to that belt removing it will make it suffer so it would be best to move it down to 8.0 or even 7.7

on the other note i still think the BMPT & BMPT-72 need to move up to 12.0 or maby even to higher br can under stand why they wont as no prem is higher than 12.0 for ground
as for why the br it is at it can go head to head with mbt and win 9/10 times just by spamming the auto cannon and then missiling them if the auto cannons dont kill them first iv even seen them at top tier and them to make the match one sided

you can one relock instantly and IOG hard carrys it and you also have to move the SU33 and SU27 are without a doubt the strongest 13.0s 8 R27ERs vs 4 AIM-7ms

which have worse pull worse IOG worse acceleration too

nothing at 13.0 that doesnt have FOX-3 aim 120s can beat you in BVR

Vehicle: T26E5
Gamemode: Ground Arcade
BR Change: 7.0 ----> 6.7 (leave at 6.7)
Reason: The T26E5 does not stand out in any particular way.
It has average speed and a rather weak gun, winning only thanks to its armor—but it has vulnerable spots that allow the E5 to be destroyed with a single shot.
At BR 7.0, it will play much more often against the IS-3 (7.3), IS-4M (7.7), and others that completely dominate it, because its 90mm gun is incapable of doing anything.

Perhaps it can; we should hope that they add better armaments that the SuperHornet can carry (aim-9x, AMRAAM C-7, etc.)

its flight model overperforms more than any other and while on full afterburn its as hot as a prop plane.

blatant OP vehicle shouldnt be so low

I dont think it ever used Aim-7P

Ground Realistic

Yak-9UT

5.7 → 6.0/6.3

  • maybe Increase dispersion of 45mm cannon and overheating

Like the Yak-9K with its 45mm cannon, that can easily kill any ground targets in 1 shot. At the same time it has a lot better engine, and a 20mm cannon it can use to engage other planes with.

Then again, the Su-30SM2 never used the N035 or AL-41 (At least AL-41 is planned unlike N035) but here we are.

it could but it feel identical to AIM-7M as no data link

Vehicle: H-75M
Gamemode: RB
BR Change: 2.0 → 1.7
Reason: Fixed landing gear is generally regarded as a sign of outdated and bad design, while H-75M is basically a P-36C with fixed landing gear. It shouldn’t have higher BR compared to P-36C’s.

Rooikat Mk.1D

Option 1

BR 8.7 → 8.3
While it has good pen and mobility, its spalling is extemely poor, there is little reason to take it over Vickers Mk.11

Option 2

BR: NO CHANGE
Reduce Reload from 6.7s to 5s

Offset the poor spalling of the Rooikats 76mm dart

Option 3

BR: NO CHANGE
Increase the spall of the 76mm dart
