Planned Battle Rating Changes (January 2026)

Harrier would be too strong due to CCIP + Helipad Airspawn but the Hunter wouldn’t be as much of an issue

chieftain mk10 and 900 going to 9.3 feels very unfair.

There are a lot of tanks at 9.0 that more than match the mk 10 and 900.

The leopard A1A1 and OF40 MK2A and XM803 (my beloved) have equal or better turret laying and are more mobile.
The Taiwanese M60 TTS and T62M1 have better firepower and equivalent mobility and same-ish armour (one with composite one without) and about the same turret laying capabilities.

There are more 9.0 tanks that I consider better than the mk10 and 900, the TAM, the ZTZ88s, even the M60 TTS in the USA tech can do the ESS thermal trick.

That might actually be all the 9.0 tanks in the game oops, well I guess it makes my point.

Please don’t move the Mk10 and 900 up, the Mk10 is gimmicky and entirely map dependant, the 900 is better in that it is more useful generally but I wouldn’t take it over any of the 9.3 British tanks meaning it would be like a 4th spawn meaning in practice I’d never likely use it in a lineup at 9.3.

Thanks for reading my rant , kay bye.

its the same APHE as the Rarden, i.e. basically worthless against anything with side armour, you can get lucky and pixel hunt a weak-spot but eh, not worth it.

YAK-3U
5.7->6.3

blatantly op at its br cause how strong it is can out dogfight most things and can out energy what it cant out dogfight

Ngl Most Aircraft based APHE belts are abit OP-

You should either reduce the explosive damage on the Belts or Reduce so its not more than like 1 APHe Round in the Belt and have the rest be AP rounds-

I know The russian 45mm and japanese 30mm belts are abit OP

Guys, no one talking about how the 2S6 Tuguska is untouched. How is this thing 10.7 meanwhile the best SPAA eveyrone have is a Roland 3 which struggle to hit a maneuvering heli?

Japanese 30mms arent nearly as much of a problem because of their low pen and high dispersion

Mode: Air RB
Vehicle: Yak-3
Recommendation: BR 4.3 to 4.7
Reasoning:

  1. Armament:
    The too low BR of Yak-3s made sense in the pre-real shatter era as the damage output of the 20 mm ShVak cannons was (historically correct) very weak.
    The changes of real shatter and adding things like adjusted ballistics made the 20 mm ShVak a very potent weapon - easy to use thanks to very flat ballistic curve and center mounted.
    You can actually outrange any plane with German MG 151s in a headon at high speed - thanks to way better ballistics and thanks to the not processed bug report regarding MG 151s, as the self destructing mine shells explode after travelled distance and not after 3 seconds (which would be historically accurate).
  2. Flight performance:
    If you compare the climb rate up to 5.000 meters with current peers you might find out that just a few planes (like Pyoerremski, 109 G-6 or F8F) are able to get to co-alt before the merge - otherwise your team has to rely on fighters with interceptor spawn to push them low. Seeing that most of Air RB fights takes place at the sweet spot of Yak-3s (= 4 km alt and lower) the 4.3 BR is a joke as outperforms as a whole (speed, climb, turn) almost anything - (except Spits and JP planes) due to superior energy retention. A plane which saw combat in September / October 1944 should fight contemporary aircraft of the Luftwaffe (their sole opponent until August 1945); the currently way too low BR is just the result of poor pilots (similar to most US fighters).

Don’t bother with high tier naval. Use 5.7 British ships, HMS London and HMS Invincible. You also have HMS Glorious but 15 inch guns at that BR are kind of useless.

Very rarely did I get uptiered. I spaded HMS London in 20 games with 48 kills and just a single death.

What about the 9UT? Same 45mm, Even better plane.

Idk lol i have had a really good time with them lmao

M2K-5F most likely gonna benefit from 14.7 decompression, looking forward to playing that one.

GRB :
H-34 (france) : 8.0 → 8.0
Loadout Change : give it its 4 AS-11


Reason : This thing is bad, like a whale. If it stays at 8.0, at least give it competitive armament. It only has 2 AS-11 ingame while the IRL one could carry 4 AS-11

what br is it a right now

5.7.
I keep it in my lineups until 7.3 and its still potent.

Kfir Canard 11.0- 10.7

No radar. Blind to J-band RWR. Faces J- band every game. The worst experience in war thunder

i just use HMS belfast as its my favourite warship in game. no intrest in going near the fake russian ships of alternate universe bias

Would instantly be thrown to the side for HMS Cavalier but shes not here yet

Vehicle: MIG 29 G
Gamemode: Air realistic & Ground realistic
BR Change: ARB: 13.0 —> 12.7 GRB: 12.0—> 11.7
Reason: The mig 29g is completely outclassed at 13.0 by vehicles such as the base Su 27s, which have 6x the number of r27ers while having the same number of r73s. If we are moving down the f15as, we should move some of the current 13.0s as well, espicially the ones that do not have access to fox 3 missiles. The mig 29 g also does not have a good rwr, making it quite obsolete fighting against fox 3s. The mig 29 g should also be moved down in br in ground realistic battles, as it lacks good CAS capabilities while having a terrible RWR.

Leclerc MSC: 11.0 => 10.7

Offensive wise it’s decent, but the lack of survivability has been an issue for a while already … and has only been amplified with the arrival of BMPTs penetrating it everywhere

Weapon:
RB74
Give IRCCM
It should have it and 4 of its users are in need of it
JA37D would need to be moved up in br to compensate
