Planned Battle Rating Changes (October 2026) — Aircraft and Ground Vehicle Decompression

Vehicle: M26 Pershing
Gamemode: Ground Realistic
BR Change: 6.7 → 6.3

Reasons : Capabilitie wise its the Counterpart to the IS-2 (1944) and Tiger II (Nr. 1-50) (bouth of them also go down to 6.3 aswell)

Also it would fit much bedder BR wise with the other Pershing Variants and how one is the upgrade of another: 6.0 Shershing (M4/T26) → 6.3 M26 Pershing → 6.7 “Super Pershing” (T26E1-1) + “Jumbo Pershing” (T26E5)

Yeah, I missed that initially. Though still. AGM-65Bs for the new BR is kinda insane. Given the A-10A late has 6x AGM-65Ds at 11.3

Vehicle: F-16I Sufa
Gamemode: Air Realistic
BR change: 13.7 → 13.7(no change)
Reasoning: While the F-16I does have advantages over the other F-16 variants at 13.7 in MAWs/countermeasure count, the other variables in play like FM, radar, and missile quality/count are all the same. Similar to the J-15/16 and Netz/Netz(Mod), I don’t think having a maws/more countermeasures should qualify a plane to sit at a higher BR than its over variants without having additional advantages elsewhere.

EC 665 Tiger HAP
Changes: 10.0—> 10.7
Proposed: stays at 10.0

Theres literally no good reason for it to go up that far, this thing literally only has hot 3 missiles, they travel at 250m/s and only have a range of 4,3km. How is this fair that it needs to fight against 11.7 vehicles now?

ZSU-23-4M2
Ground RB 7.3->7.7
The ZSU-23-4 is a beast — it has a stabilizer, 70°/s Horizontal, 60°/s Vertical, very strong firepower, and belts that never run dry. Its AA performance completely outclasses other SPAA at its BR.

it’s literally just an F-15C but with better camos and AAM-3
I know

Anything changing for Air Sim brackets?

Raising top BR to 15.0 would mean that the fourth rotation has five BR’s in it instead of the normal four…

Air realistic
A21RB
6.7->7.0
Forgotten very strong little jet that’s good at turning compared to other jets, fine acceleration, an air brake to partially mitigate it’s wing rip problem, and solid firepower
Even though the wing rip makes its top speed limited, it seems fairly capable when comparing to other 7.0 jets

Okay fair.

Forgot that was event too.

But still.

Out of the Jaguar GR1, A, E and GR1A. its the storngest of the 4.

Black Prince should go down too then
152mm of armor sure, but it is extremely slow

I agree that all these changes for the Hawks in GRB is a bit crazy, I agree w the Hawk 200/RDA being lower than the 209 but 11.7 and 11.3 are insane…

Su-7B, Air realistic, 9.3 > 9.0
It is very underwhelming since the S24 distance fuse was removed and the aircraft needs help it should go to 9.0 to be competitive. it is also worth noting it is worse than F3H.

have you played the cent? Like at all? Its great at 6.0 and it would curb stomp 4.7 vehicles. If you want to stat pad with a vehicle just say that.

IJN Chidori 3.7 > 3.3

Objectively worse than IJN Syanon at 3.3. Fewer gun’s, and extremely restricted arc for the rear mount. In return you gain around 10kts speed, which still leaves her slower than most competitors, and a meagre 2x torpedos. The trade off just isn’t worth the bump up.

Hell nah, we don’t need any of the mach 2 guys going down. They’re already way too annoying as they are when you’re in a 8.x
If anything they could go up, their sheer speed is a huge advantage. Certainly not down

Softstat change suggestions:

Give the He grenades to the 5 cm KwK 38 L/42, the Sprgr.38 has 200g Fp.02 and Np.10 with an TnT aquivalent of 256g thats more than enough to Overpressure enemys.
To the Pz III Ausf.F and J and Pz.Sp.Wg. P 204 (f) KwK 38

Softstat change suggestions:

5 cm KwK 38 L/42 Aced Max Crew Reload Speed of currently 4.0 Sec lowering to 3.0 or 3.3 Seconds (the fastest). It is a good/mediocre gun, with good Penetration (80mm) at relatively low Velocity (685m/s), but even the fastest reload is 4.0 Seconds.
For comparisson the other guns of similar Performance and size have much faster reloads with, including 1 and 2 men turrets, while the 5 cm KwK 38 L/42 (on Pz III Ausf.F and J as well as Pz.Sp.Wg. P204(f) KwK), it also has a Dedicated loader (and on the Pz III Ausf.J even nerfed by a Ready rack):

37mm M3/M5/M6 guns 2.9 Sec
75mm M2 3.3 Sec

45mm 20-K 2.9 sec (on T-80 even 2.5 sec)
76,2 mm 1902/30 4.3 sec
76,2 mm KT-28 4.0 sec

4 cm QF 2 pdr 2.8 sec
4,7 cm QF 3 pdr 3.0 sec

5,7 cm Type 97 3.3 sec
4,7 cm Type 1 3.3 sec

4 cm MAVAG 41.M 40/51 2.8 sec
4,7 cm 47/32 2.9-3.0 sec
4,7 cm 47/40 3.3 sec

4,7 cm SA 35 L/32 3.0 Sec (with Dedicated loader, without 4.0 sec (1 man turret))
