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

1.0 br increase because…? Provided The vehicle carry the 4 agm65a, no countermeasure, no guns, and only aim9j to defend itself i dont think it would be moving up more than 11.0 and i hope is was just a mistake as the only think i can thing that justify this 1.0 br increase is a MASSIVE buff.

Please fix it

TPK 6.41
Ground RB 5.7->6.0 or 6.3
The TPK has 80°/s Horizontal, 48°/s Vertical, six crew members, and powerful firepower. I don’t understand why its BR is lower than that of the R3 T20

XF5U-1
USA
Air Realistic Battles
5.3 → 4.0

XF5U-1 is probably the most borked addition to Warthunder, maybe in its entire history. It got the wrong engines, wrong guns, too high drag, too poor energy retention, and it’s made of paper mache

At 5.3, there’s not a single matchup it wins. Everything outruns it (except MAYBE a Zero), everything outclimbs it, and its stupid easy to energy trap.

Even at 4.0, it will still be outran, out turned, and outclimbed simultaneously by a large portion of planes it faces. The few that aren’t outright better in all three, e.g the Zeros or Do 335s, will still hold their own sizeable advantages over it.

Vehicle: JA37C
Gamemode: Ground Realistic
BR Change: 11.0 —> 10.3
Reason: The August 2026 BR change saw many CAP aircraft get a BR reduction, but the Viggen C did not, resulting in it being the same BR as the Viggen D and other much stronger aircraft such as the Tornado ADV. Therefore its BR should be reduced to a reasonable level, 10.3 would place it alongside other reasonably comparable aircraft such as the Phantom FGR2

Requested change, Mystere IIC: 8.3 > 8.0 in Air RB

Reasoning: Flight performance is only very slightly improved over the 8.0 Mystere IIA (which is an already quite mediocre 8.0 plane), it should not be the same BR as the 8.3 Mig-15’s and F86’s which vastly out perform it.

The 30mm Defas it has got nerfed a while back and now are almost as slow as MK108’s, the turn rate is pretty average and so is the acceleration, the top speed is also not that great when compared to many of the other 8.3’s.

Considering the F86A5/CL13 MK4/Mig15/La15 are all 8.0 there is no reason for the Mystere IIC to be a higher br than those planes hence my suggestion for it to move down to 8.0.

Please move this plane down so it can be at its proper BR and also be worth flying again since it would also no longer see the 9.3 uptiers into supersonics.

If it wasn’t obvious only python 3s at 12.0 is not a good time

Vehicle: Lynx AH.Mk.1
Gamemode: Ground Realistic
BR Change: 11.3 —> 10.7
Additional Change: Remove AGM-114B Hellfire
Reason: Britain has a notable gap in its heli tree, with nothing between the 9.0 Wessex and the 10.7 Lynx bar a single SQV. This gap would be ideally filled by the Lynx Mk1.

This then also makes for an ideal reason to add the AH.MK7 with Hellfires at 11.3, to replace the Mk1.

noticed something, why is the xm246 on here twice?

Wait so what lineup is the AJ37 supposed to go with now?

Yea no, even gaijin knows better here

Really good changes, best we’ve seen in a long time
Here are a few things i would add/change:
M4A1 (76) W to 5.3
M4/T26 to 5.7
Hummel to 3.7 or 4.0
Leopard A1A1 to 9.0
Tiger II (Nr.1-50) to 6.7
Raketenautomat to 8.3 or 8.7
DF105 (both of them, as well as CLOVIS) to 8.3 or 8.7
M48 Super to 9.7
Leopard 1A5 to 9.7
Object-906 to 8.7
Object-685 to 9.0
2S25M to 10.3
Vickers Mk.1 and Cent Mk.10 to 8.3
Olifant Mk.1 to 9.0
I am not sure if anything else needs a change, there probably is something i haven’t seen but it’s ok
Consider giving the T-64A the extra armor plate on the UFL, the smoke grenades and HMG the 1981 model had and give the 2S25s their autoloader models please. Again, great set of changes, glad we are doing them!!!

Should move german f4f early and chinese f104g down since they don’t even have countermeasures at BR 10.7. You know what that means? 11.0we have plenty of r60ms, all aspect???

A mig 21 bis that upgrades to pythons does not deserve to be 0.7 higher, like what?
Having 0 radar weapons/irccm at this rating means you must be really good in other categories, and it isn’t

It would have been even funnier if the BRs were also different

No they don’t, for the F-102 to carry this thinks they were modified, no such think happened in the Greek one

11.3/11.0 → 11.0
This plane ALREADY underperforms at the current 11.0/11.3 BR and the lack of actual long range guided munitions make this plane USELESS on uptiers, so now your telling me it makes sense to trow this plane on the current full uptier for it ? It is LITERALLY the oposite people specially me have been talking about this plane for YEARS, this is absolutelly ridiculous and at the minimum it should NOT even be considered
