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

This post was flagged by the community and is temporarily hidden.

Vehicle : BMP-1 (All)
BR change : Keep it at 8.0, do not lower it to 7.7.

A vehicle armed with 300mm pen HEATFS and 500mm pen SACLOS ATGMs doesn’t belong facing WW2 tanks.

We should be decompressing here, NOT compressing! Most decompression changes are great, and then there’s suddenly these compressing back :/

The problem with fast firing heavy cruisers is that they demolish everything but battleships

they renamed it from MiG-35S to MiG-35 for a reason.

Vehicle: Bf 109 G-10
Gamemode: Air Realistic
BR Change: 5.7 —> 5.3
Reason: Worse in every way than the Bf 109 K-4. Low play count.

Vehicle: Bf 109 G-14
Gamemode: Air Realistic
BR Change: 5.3 —> 5.0
Reason: Low perfomance. Only a 0.3 BR lower than a much better Bf 109 K-4.

These two changes combined give a clear progression to the G-6 → G-14 → G-10 → K-4 line up in both perfomance and gameplay.

The T58 going up to 9.0? well RIP to it.

Vehicle - F-18C (Sweden)
Gamemode - Ground Realistic Battles
BR Change - 12.7-13.0 instead of 13.3, or keep at 12.7

Reason - The Swedish F-18C lacks any ground ordinance, so it is only useful for air defense. even for that it is worse than the same-BR F-18C MLU and other nations F-18Cs, lacking 120C-5 missiles.

better prepare for su57 with 42 CM (and LDIRCM) then

That is literally what this feedback thread is for

It’s not even in the game so why care

i literally have no idea, i cannot think a single reason that plane should be moved to 11.3 unless its secretly getting 9Ls

This is absurd. How is this decompression? Are people playing 6.7 not suffering enough? BMP-1s are perfectly fine at 8.0.

I understand and welcome BR decompression, but to jump the Golden Eagle to 15.0, when its airframe, acceleration, and radar are shortcomings compared to the sm2 and typhoon, makes no sense. Having a lot of missiles does not make a plane top tier when comparison with the current 14.7s shows it’s not competitive. jumping from 14.3 to 15.0 is a pretty big jump, and something needs to warrant that. I’d welcome the change if the golden eagle gets at least an acceleration buff.
Also, putting current planes at that rating makes one question how they will fit things like the f15 EX, Su-35 etc into it(assuming they’re actually going to do that). Unless they don’t really make those specific planes much different from the current top tier, which would be a bit of a let down.

So long story short, I agree with decompression, but I specifically don’t agree with golden eagle jumping 2 BRs to be 15.0 unless it is getting a buff.

Turms 3 not going up with the T58? Jumbo 76 to 6.0, Jumbo 75 to 5.0, m26 to 6.3?

I am confused.

Merkava Mk.4B and Mk.4 LIC are 12.7, where they belong at their current state when compared to a top of 13.3, yes…

But then, Merkava Mk.4M, only because of Trophy, is 13.3, like the Leopard 2A7s…?

Back in the day, you made all Merkava Mk.4s be Top BR because you said that “Trophy didn’t change much”; but now, you think Trophy changes enough to claim that Merkava Mk.4 deserves TWO BR steps higher than all other Merkava Mk.4s only because of Trophy…?

Please, fix this. Merkava Mk.4M should be 12.7 along with all other Merkava Mk.4s. Trophy in no way increases this tank’s capabilities to such a degree to warrant such a difference in BR.

Still waiting for an FSP with 120C-5 and ASRAAM…having another one in Treble One scheme would be nice.

Vehicle : A-4E (Early) (USA)
Gamemode : Ground Realistic
BR Change : 10.0 => 9.7

a lot of people will think this is an hot take, however if you actually put your thoughts on it, the A-4E only has 2 GBU’s that has to be dropped well within the effective range of SAMs it will face and Bullpup missiles that can only be manually guided one at a time, by keyboard towards the target. Not to mention that the flight model of the A-4 leaves a lot to be desired, you could spawn a 8.0 jet fighter and kill it with little to no resistance from the A-4. it has to drop all of its ordnance to even have a chance of winning a dogfight, this plane is not 10.0 worthy.

Literally this. Also I’m still sad the Pennsylvania paint scheme is wrong/bugged - Community Bug Reporting System. I wish they’d fix it :(

Soyuz : 8.7 > 9.0 ( both )
Iowa : 8.7 > 9.0 ( both )
Yamato : 8.7 > 8.3 ( arcade battle )

Reason : soyuz and Iowa is no match for anything else we have in this game rn, Yamato it just bad, since u always rejected to fix Yamato hull HP it’s good reason to put Yamato in arcade battle at 8.3
Yamato can die by shooting at random place in just below the main deck.
Any ai shooting at her, hurt the Yamato hull so much, till u can just die by randomly HE spam causing the Yamato got unsink lost within 10 min and losing only few crew ( what a insane ship )

Vehicle: VT5
BR channge: No change
Modification: BTA2 APFSDS
Reason: DTW2-105 is not enough at its current BR. This round has really bad post pen damage and low penetration compared to other 105mm light tanks even at low BRs. Either give it BTA2 APFSDS or reduce its BR to 11.0
