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

Vehicle: Vautour IIN(C)
Gamemode: Ground Realistic
BR Change: 8.0 —> 9.3
Reason: Vautour IIN(C) carry air-to-ground Nord (AS20 and AS30) that are Manual (MCLOS) guided and can easily curb stomp any SPAA around 8.0, the only SPAA that can go up against it is the Chinese WZ305 with its proxy shell. Vautour IIN(C) outranges every single SPAA around 8.0 by a long shot, and it can easily outrun enemy fighter around the same BR.

It’s especially horrid in Squadron Battle, the Vautour IIN(C) gets air-spawn and can just bum rush the enemy airfield and kill the enemy fighters before they can even get off from the runway with air-to-air Nord (AA-20). Even at 9.0, the Vautour IIN(C) performs just fine right alongside the Sea Vixen F.A.W. Mk.2. Gaijin you don’t even play your own game and it shows. And since nearly all SPAA around 8.7 are moving up to 9.0, the Vautour is going to be even more oppressive than before, which is ridiculous.

Funnily enough, the tech tree Vautour that gets only AA nords (Vautour IIN(M)) sits higher at 8.3 than the premium one that gets A-A and A-G nords + dumb rockets & bombs.

Why is the Vautour IIN(C) only at 8.0 in GRB? - Game Discussion / Realistic Battle - War Thunder — official forum

Now take your time and do a list from non communist versions.

Vautour IIN(c) france

Ground Realistic

8.0 → 8.7 / 9.0

It is better in almost everything than the tech tree one, it shouldn´t be the same br.

So many issues with this. The SPYDER and the NASAMS 3 being the same BR after decompression is crazy.

You moving goalposts after being caught making wrong takes isn’t my issue to solve.

G-LYNX 10.7 => 11.3
Lynx AH Mk1 10.7 => 11.3
This doesn’t make any sense, Lynx shouldn’t be on the same BR as Tiger HAD or Tigre HAD-E. Lynx has extremely poor optics and gen 1 TVD which significantly limits its capabilities.

Please separate the 2 vehicles into separate messages because they won’t count it as feedback if it’s 2 in one. I highly recommend keeping the MiG-25 as I suspect that’s what most people who liked your comment agreed with.

Not really, 1 plane ( yes forgot it exists there) what has ir’s on future 13.0 , and being only communist plane on it.
And hard capping AA’s on 13.3 , is still hitting terribly hard on communist side.
And even you cant deny it.

Object 279

Ground Realistic

9.0 → 9.3

It is a very powerful tank, that also needs to be moved up with the other 9.0 vehicles that gets moved up.

If this is not moved up together with the other 9.0 vehicles, it will become stronger because there will be less vehicles that can counter it effectively.

Because it should nto have been top tier to begin with ? It’s worse in every single way compared to most other competing (keyword here) top tiers

Doesn’t change that you were wrong on your initial claim. You going “but NATO has this” doesn’t change that.

Absolute baller changes, well done!

Issue is that ground is capped for some reason on 13.3 instead 13.7 or 14.0 as planes.

Vehicle: Helicopters (Rank 6-7)
Gamemode: Ground Arcade
BR Change: Raise the BR to 13.0 max

Reason: why is heli arcade BR still 11.0 max and not 13.0 max, and PLEASE, make a BR sep for Heli PvE for Rank 7 from Rank 6, FnF helis are constantly robbing every single target until none is left behind for other players

Suggestion

Vehicle: Jagdtiger

Mode: Ground Realistic Battles

BR: 6.7 → 6.7 (no changes)

Suggested balance change: a modest reload buff.

Reasoning: the engine nerf from last summer has affected this vehicle way more than it has the Tiger IIs. Its now very limited mobility, combined with the glacial reload and the increasing prevalence of small maps in the map rotation, make its life a little harder than it was previously.

Recently, many low tier and mid tier tank destroyers have been receiving reload buffs to help them out a little bit, and the Jagdtiger would fit nicely on that list. With two dedicated loaders for the two piece ammunition in a roomy casemate, giving it a modest reload buff would hardly stretch plausibility.

Suggested reload buff: 23,6 sec → 19,4 sec, in line with T34 and Sturer Emil.

The Jagdtiger has two dedicated loaders for its two-piece ammo, because of this the reload should be faster than the Maus/E-100 and significantly faster than IS-3 and IS-4 with their cramped turrets and only a single loader.

The Sturer Emil loads similar ammo into a nearly identical gun in 19,4 sec with just a single loader.

(Credit to @Ghostmaxi for the last observation).

Still doesnt change the point of that post.
But keep talking .

You mean this one?

which is incorrect? You moving goalposts doesn’t change facts.

Vehicle: JH-7A2

Gamemode: Ground Realistic and Simulaltor

BR Change: 12.3 → 13.3 13.0

jh_7a2
Reason: It has combinations of air‑to‑air and air‑to‑surface missiles that are comparable in power to the MiG‑29M/KR and inferior to the Su-30MKK/МК2 AMV and Su‑27SM.

That makes zero sense by the way, they would stay exactly where they are

Some time ago, they buffed the reload speed of the Sturer Emil btw.
