Planned Battle Rating Changes (January 2026)

Vehicle: A2D-1
Mode: Air realistic
7.0->6.7
It can’t compete with the 7.0 jets. While it certainly outclimbs them its maneuverability is very poor and it gets outran by all of them. It’s hard to do a lot if people don’t take climb stall bait when you’re above them

Air realistic

F-35

10.3 > 11.3

Vehicle has too many countermeasures and is a fighter with strike fighter capabilities also swedish bias it should go up since its too strong.

Vehicle: MiG-29G
Gamemode: Air Realistic
BR Change: 13.0->12.7
since it is one change per message

Literally what do I need to say about this plane, its equivalents are the Su-27S and Su-33
Both of those vehicles are vastly better in flight performance, avionics and have more of the same missiles
There is absolutely no reason for the MiG-29 to be at the exact same battle rating.
It is one of if not the worst 4th gen fighters for dogfighting, has SPO-15 with low countermeasure count and just two long-range (although good) Fox-1s with R-73s letting it carry 6 missiles max (2x Fox-1, 4x Fox-2 or 6x Fox-2)
Compared to Su-27S which has up to 6 of the same Fox-1s allowing for 4 R-73s on a vastly better airframe with 98x large caliber countermeasures
Then with the Su-33 there are up 8 of the same Fox-1 with 4 R-73 and while it has just 48x Large caliber countermeasures, it has a digital RWR which lets you reliably identify enemies and notch fox-1s or fox-3s.

Not to mention both flankers having significantly better fuel amounts compared to the MiG-29, able to carry more fuel than the fulcrum (including the fulcrum’s fuel tank) easily, letting them fly around longer in a match

What new flight model? The flight model is currently performing very closely to the manuals.

It is nothing more than a dream to expect it to improve by any amount except in thrust which is artificially reduced.

Funny. Is that all? I thought you were going to raise the Battle Rating for Ground Forces as well. All these changes are just ridiculous. Right now the entire Russian tree is simply an overpowered, completely unbalanced mess. You need to raise the Ground Forces BR to 13.7 and spread out the top-tier SPAA. If this is everything you planned, it’s just laughable and disappointing. I expected much more serious balance changes.

And if anything, the one that could’ve been raised in BR in that case should be the Golden Eagle.

Naval Air

Ye-2 (late)

4.3 > 4.0

Too big and slow to get near most naval targets, a sitting duck for anything with VT (or even TF at closer ranges). At 4. 3 you are much better off taking a PE-8 and lobbing a FAB5000 from afar if you want to suffer.

Ground Realistic

Mi-4AV

8.0 → 8.3

While it have one of the worst flight models in the game of helicopters, it still have access to ATGM that have a range of 4km. This means it has the ability to stay out of the effective range of even radar SPAA and being able to shoot ATGM at them uncontesed, makes this really powerful.

good thing Aim 7P is on more than 1 plane thats not a premium OH WAIT

I keep thinking it’s the actual F-35 and I get so confused every time 😭😭😭

Lowering the BR of the F15 A is a terrible change.
The F-18A and F-18 Early already cause enough damage, do you want to destroy even more the 11.7-12.7?

Bro the change of t26e5 is only in arcade battles

IRIAF does not need IRCCM. F-14B you might have an argument but definitely not the IRIAF with Fakours.

no it will not, you literally cannot compare ER to 7P as the ER is easily stronger
might as well compare a hydrogen bomb to a coughing baby

Nah bro we cater to premium tarts at 13.3, screw everything else

The F15-A going down to 12.7 is totally justifiable, AIM7MS are unreliable and the radar is so bad, at a BR where you get shot by fox3s 50km away that is not fun at all to play with

Dutch F.6 being at the same 9.0 BR (with the performance of a UK F.6 at 9.7) is just diabolical. :D

yeah its complete fine at its br

  1. Why the F-16I Sufa its going ub in BR if it only has 8x250kg + 2x1000kg IR glide bombs and NO missiles? In no way its same as the JAS39E. Even weaker than Su-30SM. Also they need to put in a lower ground br the Kfir C.10 considering its very limited air-to-ground arsenal.

  2. The downtier of bombers was a good move right there, good job. But still they need destructable airfields so they do not stand in the match useless, let them help their team to make enemy bleed tickets at bombing.

(PD: APDS on falcon and amx its bc of balance or bc it was ahistorical?)

its a radar missle so the swiss one iirc
