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

So why would the Kurnass go up if its inferior to the Netzs?

Greek one never had any of them and they are not compatible as they were required modifications to be added

Merkava 2D → Addition of M428 Sword

It just needs new ammo with the new br

Mode: Ground Realistic Battles

Vehicle: Centurion Mk.1

uk_centurion_mk_1
Change: 6.0 → 5.7

Reasoning: The turret frontal armor of the tank has long been only 127 mm, not 152 mm, which makes it vulnerable to most guns at BR 6.0. The vehicle’s survivability is low, as 3 out of 4 crew members are located in the turret, and any hit to it often results in the tank being destroyed.

The gun has good nominal penetration; however, due to the use of sub-caliber and solid-shot rounds without explosive filler, it deals poor post-penetration damage. The high rate of fire is further limited by the 5+1 round mechanic, which negates its advantage in combat.

In addition, the tank’s mobility is unsatisfactory - its maximum speed is only 36-38 km/h, which does not allow it to maneuver effectively on the battlefield.

Taken together, these drawbacks indicate that the Centurion Mk.1 does not fit BR 6.0, and lowering it to 5.7 would be a more balanced solution.

So everything above like 8.0 is going up by the same amount, meaning there is actually very little change again…

Vehicle: Hawk 200
Gamemode: Ground Realistic
BR Change: 11.3 —> 10.7
Reason: The Hawk 200 could be best compared to something like the A-10A in the US for CAS in GRB which currently resides at 10.3. Whilst the Hawk is faster, the A-10A compensates by having a far larger weapons load and defensive suite. In maximum A2G configurations, the A-10A can field 6x AGM-65B, in addition to other rockets or bombs, and still carry 2x Aim-9Ls and 480 CMs. The Hawk 200 on the other hand, currently at 10.7 could only carry 4x AGM-65B, a single unguided bomb, no AAMs and only 60 CMs, substantially weaker, especially if also compared to the A-10A Late which exchanges the AGM-65Bs for AGM-65Ds and 4x Aim-9Ls currently at 10.7. Whilst the Hawk is the faster airframe, the differences in loadout more than mitigate this difference.

At the same BR as the Hawk 200, is the Hawk 209, with 4x AGM-65Gs and 2x Aim-9P-4s. A substantially stronger CAS and fighter aircraft

Mode: Air Realistic Battles

Aircraft: Me 262 A-1a, Me 262 A-1a/Jabo, and Me 262 A-2a


Change: 7.0 → 6.3, 7.0 → 6.3, and 6.7 → 6.3

Reasoning: These were the world’s first mass-produced jet aircraft. They have poor maneuverability and take a long time to build up speed, which means they can only rely on their velocity - something that is rarely achievable at BR 7.0 (where they very often face 7.7 and 8.0). In addition, they are equipped with a very specific armament: four 30 mm MK 108 cannons with extremely poor ballistics.

It should also be noted that at BR 6.0 there is already the Me 262 A-1/U4, armed with the 50 mm Mk.214a cannon, which offers far superior ballistics and aiming performance, and yet it does not cause any balance issues.

Mode: Naval Arcade & Realistic Battles

Ship: RN Zara and RN Pola


Change: 6.0 → 5.7

Reasoning: One of the longest reload times for 203 mm guns among its counterparts, weak damage from their 203 mm shells, low accuracy of the same 203 mm guns, lack of torpedo armament, not the best armor.

J-15T
15.0 → 14.7

This plane should not be top tier, at least until ECM is added.

sorry but what? I am talking about the AIM-4A and AIM-4C/D, you did not need modifications to mount these as they are the initial and only AIM-4 variants the F-102 carried
