Planned Battle Rating Changes (January 2026)

Official News, Development Blogs and Updates

Vehicle: Su-30MKK/MK2
Gamemode: Air Realistic
BR Change: 13.3 → 13.7,
Gamemode: Ground Realistic
BR Change: 12.3 → 12.7

Both of these premiums are among the best for their battle rating, with just the J-11A being around the same level if not better and completely outclassing every other 13.3
They are literally a MiG-29SMT with slightly worse radar and a better fm + missile loadout in air RB
Not to mention the F-16A having worse missiles, and less countermeasures being the same br as them? This makes no sense
As for ground RB, both of these are effectively an Su-27SM wish one less R-77 but two more KH-29s. At a lower br

Balancing these planes based on average player statistics is complete nonsense as everyone knows that premium vehicles have lower statistics than they should as they get bought out by a lot of new players who don’t know how to use them
Not to mention aircraft limited to fox-1s (sparrows mainly) at just .3 brs lower stand literally 0 chance offensively against them thanks to fox-3s letting them just push fox-1 aircraft with 0 fear of being pressured.

Gaijin, I highly suggest you actually play this game yourself, time and time again you make it very clear that you have never actually touched it yourself, nor have you learned why and how vehicles are balanced/unbalanced. It is incredibly sad to see what you are doing to completely destroy the balance of this game

I can compare them just fine regarding guidance and INS/memory. Even moreso the 7P carriers as they have better radars as well.

1121

Its fair enough to say its not good at 13.0 but 11.7 aircraft should not have to fight it. Better to move up Fox-3 Aircraft than move it down.

1122

If the 2A6 has to be 12.7 despite having Gen 1 thermals compared to the 2A7s Gen 3.

Then M1A1 HC and M1A2 can be 12.7 with Gen 1 thermals compared to the SepV1’s Gen 2

XM-1 (GM)

Ground RB
9.3 → 9.0

The XM-1 (Chrysler) is at 9.0 and is better in nearly all ways, including acceleration and armour.

I think 9.3 is fine for the Khalid.

1125

Why are you comparing it to only one aircraft, try competing with su30mk and f2a adtw, uptiers can go up to 14.0

1126

Vehicle: F106
Mode: Air realistic
9.3->9.3
Absolutely ludicrous performance at 9.3. People just look at the bad missile it has and call it trash when it mostly farms anyone if the player is competent because of insane speed and turn.

It pains me how the F-15I gets no SPICE-250’s and the F-16I gets no extra SPICE-250’s.

Sweden gets more SPICE-250’s on their top CAS plane than the nation that made it and actually uses it…

10.0 is a bit too high for 30mm APDS though, it is very prone to shattering and lacks the necessary penetration to compete

1130

If it gets the 16 spice250 then the br change its ok.

But doesnt look the sufa gonna receive it soon.

1131

Vehicle: F/A-18E
Gamemode: Air realistic
BR Change: 14.7 → 14.3(14.0) or give it AIM-120-C7
Reason: The F/A-18E one of the worst aircraft judging by top speed. While Rafale C3 climbing to 6k with 1900km/h F/A-18E barelly reach 1400. And while most launches aim-120-c5 from start with rafale gives you kills, launch from F/A-18E at 1400 most time dont give you anything.

AIM-120C-7 is literally an AIM-120C-5
this will change nothing

Object 279

AIM-120C7 = AIM-120C5.

The F/A-18E should just be 14.3 or 14.0 and the F/A-18C could be 13.7

The F/A-18E is literally arguably worse than the F/A-18C for Air RB.
