Hi everyone! Here’s the list of planned Battle Rating changes for October. It includes adjustments for aircraft, ground vehicles, and ships.
In this round of planned Battle Rating changes, we’ve decided to raise the upper limits for the Battle Ratings of aircraft in Air and Ground Battles, as well as for ground vehicles in Ground Battles.

Finally the Su-30s are going up
su30s goin up told you guys
THANK GOD ITS HERE f3h has been hell
Nothing for lower BR tanks, what a relief,
won’t have to rehash my setups again.
Vehicle: Stormer HVM
Gamemode: Ground Realistic
BR Change: 10.7 —> 10.0
Reason: The large number of nerfs recently have resulted in the Starstreaks being even harder and more unreliable to use and appear to no longer even do consistent damage vs light tanks. Let alone the lack of any ability to deal with drones (recon or strike) or aircraft flying too close (within 3km). The hittiles also fly so erratically that hitting even aircraft can sometimes be total luck. The performance no longer matches the BR, and it needs a BR drop. The Rapier at 9.7 is a more effective SPAA in all regards.
Alternative solution: Add LMM Martlet Missiles. This would allow the Stormer to engage and destroy drones and increase its effectiveness against low and fast flying aircraft that the Starstreaks struggle to deal with.
Starstreaks also need an overhaul and long standing issues, such as the missing IFF/NCTR need correcting.
hold up we have 15.0
a-5c going up but not j-7d we deadass rn bro
decompression?
am i dreaming?
thank bvvd!
@Stona_WT is there a reason for the Me 163’s and Ki 200’s are still at 8.3, for what it’s worth they should be put down to 6.7 at least I mean they are higher than the Hawk T1’s can this be revised please it would be grateful
yay
Vehicle: Tornado GR1
Gamemode: Ground Realistic
Additional Change: Add ALARM
Reason: The Tornado GR1 lacks the performance to be 12.0 given what it will face, so it needs ALARMs to be competitive at this new BR
Vehicle: Tornado GR1, ASSTA1 & IDS (1995)
Gamemode: Air Simulator
BR Change: 11.7 —> 11.3
Reason: These 3 Tornado IDSs finally moved down to 11.3 to join their non-precision A2G equivalents in ARB, but failed to do so in ASB, despite having no meaningful difference in performance in that gamemode either. This is especially problematic when you consider that aircraft such as the Mig-23MLD and F-111C are both 11.3 in ASB and not 11.7 like they are in ARB. There is little justification for these Tornados to be at 11.7 even in ASB due to their guided weapons, but there is absolutely no possible reason to consider them “superior” to an aircraft such as the Mig-23MLD.
Finally Leopard 2K not lower than t-64/72 and sits at the same BR. Took long enough
Kfir canard to 11.3. Are they what did they somke? Moving the kfir but not the mig25!?
F16i to 14.0?
I get it it’s decomposing the bars but what is the point of moving everything if there is just holes
kfir canard air rb
11.0 → 10.7 , ok flight performance, 2 missiles, 36 fllares, does not belong at 11.3
Vehicle: Tornado GR4 & Tornado IDS SLE
Gamemode: Air Realistic & Air Simulator
BR Change: 12.3 —> 12.0
Reason: The Tornado IDSs are already extremely difficult aircraft to operate successfully due to the poor gamemode design of ARB due to being a ground attack aircraft. But these 2 operate at 0.7 BR higher than the RET8, the closest equivalent, due to the fact they have IRCCM missiles instead IR missiles, this increase to me seems highly excessive, especially when aircraft such as the F-16 only experience a 0.3 increase for the same change.
At this battle rating of 12.3, the Tornado GR4/SLE are pitted against far superior aircraft in most roles, including a wall of Fox-3 missiles, whilst the Tornado does have the defensive suite to handle some of these, the sheer volume will usually overwhelm your defences and there is little you can do against a competent player in WVR at this BR either. The closest equivalent aircraft to these Tonkas is likely the Mirage F1s, which operate at 12.0 with 2x IRCCM and 2x SARH missiles, whilst the 2 aircraft have their respective strengths and weaknesses, I would consider them largely equivalent in overall performance.
A2G performance of the Tornado GR4/SLE within either gamemode is in my opinion, irrelevant for these 2 airframes, because they perform almost identically in this regard to the 7 Tornado IDS aircraft currently at 11.3/11.7. In the future, they have the potential to be more effective with the addition of MMW Brimstones, which would enable them to more efficiently destroy AI ground targets, but I can’t think of any reason why even this would have any meaningful impact on their already increased battle rating. So A2A performance should be the only thing meaningfully considered for the placement of these 2 Tornados. Specifically their IRCCM missiles.
Since The Great Compression The BR has only become even more untenable, with aircraft such as the F-15A with 4x Aim-9Ms and 4x Aim-7M at only 0.3 BR higher than the Tornado GR4/SLE and now the Mirage 2000CS-5 at the same BR.
J-15 same as F-15cge and j-16 ?!
golden eagle being top tier is crazy
With every plane that suffered because of it
