Planned Battle Rating Changes (January 2026)

Vehicle: SU-30MKK/MK2
Gamemode: Air realistic
BR Change: ARB: 13.3 —> 13.7
Reason: These planes too good for 13.3, should be higher

Yep, with 99.99% of BR changes just being ignored most of the time, I got fed up with re-writing them constantly, so I just pre-wrote them. Also allows time to finnese the argument for each, Ive had people review a few of them, and theyve suggested tweaks

+1 (out of likes)

Ground realistic battles
AMX-30 S DCA
8.7---->8.3
Since it’s no longer going to have the apds it should be moved down in line with other 30/35mm spaa. Also considering that France currently has a huge gap in it’s spaa line between the AMX 10P and the DCA it would help if it was accesible a little earlier

Thing about that the planned ROF was 30 seconds but they actually never got that even with modifications they doubted 45 seconds was possible. But other ships have gotten planned ROF like the French got 7 RPM i believe on a light cruiser when IRL barely was able to hit 4 RPM.

If the bad guys are going up, why downtier the F-15A? also no dowtier for the F-14B? This single thing show how miserable the BR thing is.

T-80UD will stay 10.3? SIDDAM-25 will stay 8.3? No BR increase for 2S6 tunguska? F-18E as good a Rafale? No M833 for M1 abrams? AMX A1-A as good as an SU-39?

STRATEGIC BOMBERS (Tu-4, B-29 etc.) BR SUGGESTION

Ingame => REMOVED

Bombers have no place in Air RB and there is no counter-argument. I’d say let them have their own PvE mode but it’d be better to simply save some space on my hard drive. Also delete naval and save 50GB on the spot.

I love seeing CAS tears when it comes to finally having to face an SPAA that can invalidate their usual tactics. Sincerely, an RB player who has died to CAS more times than I care to count while playing a nation with ineffective SPAA.

GRB :
AMX-30 S DCA : 8.7 → 8.3 realistic battles
Justification: since it don’t have APDS anymore, it shouldn’t stay at 8.7. It has worse mobility than Gepard, it has a worse radar that don’t even has IFF, and now has less pen than the Gepard

I think cl13 could honestly be 9.0, but if 9.3’s were ever raised put it at 9.3. Ariete I can agree with that is arguably a plane of fiction with how it performs.

Vehicle: F-2A ADTW
Gamemode: Air realistic
BR Change: ARB: 13.0 —> 13.7 but give it ARH missiles
Reason: Premium and TT Viggen in Sweden with ARH and same BR. F-2A should be the same. Both with ARH, same br.

Understandable. I just wish they nerf it at low tier because that’s where it seems very problematic, and then buff it in this rating.

Honestly. 7.0-10.0 is just impossible to balance currently.

Joke take:
1- Don’t play it
2- It is historically accurate
3- Make a petition to ‘full removal of bomber/attacker from glorious fighter-thunder’

6.7 might be a bit too low, I think. I can agree with 7.0 instead if we think about those F-84B/F2H ‘zighters from Z-merica.’
Well, they called us Zombers before, right?

Suggestion:

Mode: ARB, AAB

Yak-141

12.7 → 12.3


Reason:

With the F-15 Earlies (A/J/Baz), moving down to 12.7, with 4x IRCCMs, and 4x SARHs, the Yak-141 is now substantially outclassed, as at the same BR it only gets access to, at best 2x IRCCM, and 2x SARHs. Additionally, unlike the F-15s, those IRCCM missiles are not dogfight missiles, but instead medium range missiles. Meaning that if you wish to take IRCCM missiles and dogfight missiles, it can not take SARHs. Or vice versa, if it wishes to take its best SARHs, you can’t take IRCCM missiles, as they’re on the same pylon.

I feel like 8.0 is the best to play. You abuse the postwar jets but you don’t have to go vs the trash balancing that starts at 9.3. Might contribute slightly to 9.3 getting uptiered almost always too. Why stock grind later f86/mig15 variants when you can just use the first one that’s best for it’s rating to get through that rank?

it technically doesn’t but the chasis is already increadibly stable so 8.3 is fine

I tried a few times recently to play stuff at and about that BR, gave up

Incredibly based take. As ARB is designed as a PvP mode, I se no reason for them to have a place in it when all they do is reward a passive playstyle.
