Planned Battle Rating Changes (January 2026)

not in war thunder, its missing the top pen round

I see… thought it had the same armement as the earlier 9040.
Was it always the case ?

AMX-30 S DCA
Ground Realistic
8.7 → 8.0 due to the new change.

What do you mean the T-64B is going to 10.3 and the T-80UD is staying at 10.3 as well???

no he is wrong it doesnt have the higher pen dart

the aim-7M has 5 degrees larger seeker gimbal over the aim-7F

Yep. Sea Harrier FRS1 operating as an emergency CAP from Atlantic Conveyor during the falklands ran a minimal load of fuel to allow for Vertical take-off. Whilst it was expected for them to be able to make an intercept, it was unlikely theyd be able to return to the cargo container. So they were only going to launch as an absolute last option

8.0 rather. It’d be far worse than the Gepard at 8.3

Ground RB
Luchs A2
Change: Either folder it into the wiesel or remove it’s thermals and move it down to rank IV at 6.0/6.3 br.

As it currently is the luchs is one of the most usless vechicles in the game because the wiesel simply outperforms it in every regard. Moving it down in rank and br would also fill the light tank gap between the puma and buldog

Ah I thought so

put the max br to 20.0

I can’t tell if you guys are meme’ing or what, but keeping the F-15C GE at 14.3 is laughable and BUMPING the F-18E up to 14.7 is absolutely tone deaf. To even suggest that the super hornet is on par with the Rafale, SU-30SM2, and Typhoon(AESA) is beyond insanity. If anything those two planes need to be downtiered. BOTH of them should be at 14.0. There is absolutely ZERO justification for why they’re 14.3 to begin with when they’re the worst performing 14.3 in the game with the worst missiles at high tier. You all still haven’t fixed the 120C-5, which by the way is supposed to have improved off-boresight capability, and you want to keep the GE at 14.3 and even bump the super hornet to 14.7? You all have either lost the plot or this is some serious meme’ing. The fact that you’re even serious about bumping the super hornet up is just beyond laughable.

i hope the many cv90 chassis that are missing it’s IRST receive it soon
it is one of the standard things in the FCS

True, changed.

Vehicle: Fw 190 A-4
Game Mode: Air RB / Air Realistic
BR change: 4.0 to 3.7
Reasoning:

The plane is basically a one trick pony (BnZ & BnRun) and gets outperformed by most 4.0 and 3.7 fighters. The plane has two main strengths:

  1. Lack of severe high speed compression combined with with a very good dive speed for BnZ
  2. Very good high speed agility (with flaps) which allows them to hit enemies trying to dodge a head-on

Seeing (and fighting) this aircraft almost daily it is imho obvious that the plane is a pure support fighter in Air RB. From a neutral perspective the majority of their kills are 3rd party kills whilst diving into furballs - or the results of full committed head-ons.

The current BR of 4.0 looks justified if you assess just the burst mass (which is quite impressive) - if you observe how they perform vs highly popular BR 3.7 fighters it seems obvious that any P-51 C or Ki-44 II are better suited to play the role of a fighter in Air RB.

  • As written in another post in this thread - the ability to bring guns on target is decisive, and not how many guns you have. So even if we put the fact aside that the MG 151/20 (and ofc the 2 MG/FFM) has currently the worst ballistics of all 20 mm cannons within the game, the flight performance in general puts you between a rock and a hard place.
  • So if you try to get above 6 km to be somehow safe from from the omnipresent Ki-44s and Yak-3s you get caught by a plain P-51 C (with its dozens of premium brothers) or any 3.7 P-47 which are both faster and are able to kill you with a few AP-IT hits.
  • At least in theory the Fw 190 A-4 has a superior roll rate, but imho the average wt pilot is unable to use this advantage.
  • Just to be complete: The artificial engine nerf added by gaijin some time ago made it even more complicated to make the plane successful.

So from my pov the rather poor global stats for KpS and KpD are no accident - the plane needs a lower BR.

(GRB) Spyder AIO 12.7 > 11.3 — Until 4x aesa radar, optical lock (with ability to slave/launch P5 without radar) and i-Derby ER being implemented, this is Tor-M1 level of spaa. If said problems gets solved, move Spyder back to a 12.7. Also fix overpressure through hitting radar. How comes Tor or S1 can tank hellfires but Spyder getting overpressured like there is no tomorrow?

Show me at least one spaa of this BR that can’t shoot down a plane flying straight past it from 4 km away, unaware of even being attacked.

Love to see the Canberra’s having a chance now as CAS at Ground Realistic.

I see the F-111C proposed to lower it’s BR in Ground Realistic too, which is fair compared to the USA F-111F, but maybe revising it’s air realistic BR would be appropiate. Missing it’s AIM-9M in real life and generally weaker engines (versus F-111F), and a very slow air spawn speed makes it overtiered for it’s capabilities. With fewer loadout options as a base bomber, this attacker jet is rarely ever used.

Because soyuz existed and Britain’s navy never did… Er. 🥴

T72B3
“11.7-11.3”
Please then
T72B3A
12.3-11.7 the active protection system isn’t like black night where it intercepts darts so I see no reason it should be 12.3
Also Strela (all)
10.3 → 10.7
Tan Sam
11.7 - 11.3
Please gajooble it may not have a line up but its not that good for 11.7
