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

Did Gaijin really bump the AMX and AMX A1A up to 11.7 BR? Its previous BR was already bad enough, and now they’ve raised it even further. It’s a subsonic aircraft that carries six laser-guided bombs.

There’s a whole circus going on around the “Type 90.” Instead of at least keeping its battle rating two steps above that of the “Leopard 2A4,” the developers have, for some reason, pushed it even higher.

Type 90 (all) GRB 11.7-11.7

This tank is significantly inferior to the vehicles found at the 12.3 Battle Rating (BR) level (such as the Leopard 2A4M and the Click-Bait); even a 4-second reload time does not solve the problem. The gap in other technical specifications is too large, and it is clearly not in favor of the Japanese tank.

Gamemode: Ground Realistic
Vehicle: A10A late
Battle rating 11.3 > 11.0
Why is the A10A late going to 11.3 while the A7D is 11.0 its slower then the A7D and doesnt get guided bombs i am aware that the A10A late gets agm 65Ds but it shouldnt justify it being higher when the a10A late needs the 65Ds because it has no speed while A7D needs to get close because the 65As atleast the a7D has speed to evade while the A10 is a sitting duck

Gamemode: Ground Realistic
Vehicle: A10A Late
Battle Rating: 11.3 to 11.0

Why is the A10A late going to be 11.3 when the A7D will be 11.0? The a10a late is slower then the A7D and doesnt get guided bombs, i am aware the a10 late gets agm 65Ds while the A7D gets 65As but it doesnt justify being higher when the A10 needs better missiles because of its slowness while the A7D can afford getting closer to use the agm 65As because of its speed

Lowering the a10a early would be nice to but this post is for the A10A Late

Some extremelly ODD choices…why exactly are the F/A-18 going up in Realistic GB? With a mid or worse loadouts for GB, it just feels unneeded.

My bigger issues are the EMBT…like WHY!? EMBT has the worst trades of both vehicles a mediocre top tier round and a gigantic neck weakspot and you wanna make us believe it’s 13.3 material? Instead of being idk 12.3 where it would sit a more comfy br.

Tornado IDS SLE at 13.0??? Only 2 IR missiles, few HARMs and Brimstones…I’m sorry, but Brimstones are not that overpowered on a TORNADO AIRFRAME.

The BMPT is at the same effective BR, facing the same enemies. It has been brought up, but so has it’s competitors, and generally by the same amount. it has no need for a buff when it hasn’t changed and is still preforming fine

And why did they have to kill the A‑10A and kill setup 10.3 USA??? As usual, the balancing is not in favor of the players

The Yak-9UT being moved up to 7.0 in Ground RB is unreasonable. Although its 37 mm and 45 mm cannons can produce better post-penetration damage against ground targets, it is still a propeller-driven aircraft. At 7.0, it has to face more advanced SPAA and jet aircraft, putting it at a significant disadvantage in both survivability and overall combat capability.

The comparison with the Me 262 A-1/U4 makes this change even harder to justify. The Me 262 A-1/U4 remains at 6.3 despite having a 50 mm cannon with higher penetration than the Yak-9UT’s guns. It also has the advantage of being a jet aircraft, giving it a very different level of speed and performance compared with a propeller-driven fighter.

I am not arguing that the Me 262 A-1/U4 is overpowered or that it should receive a BR increase. The issue is why the Yak-9UT, a propeller-driven aircraft, is being placed at 7.0 when the Me 262 A-1/U4 can remain at 6.3 despite its higher cannon penetration and jet-powered performance. The Yak-9UT’s better post-penetration damage alone does not seem sufficient to justify such a significant difference in BR, especially when the higher BR exposes it to more dangerous SPAA and faster jet opponents.

Game mode: Realistic Battles
Vehicle: T-80UD
BR: 10.7–11.0

This thing’s got great firepower—a 6-second reload with 3BM42. The whole bunch got moved up, but this one just doesn’t move? That’s insane. If it stays where it is after the BR changes, it’s gonna be absolutely terrifying.

Yeah dude, lets just bump up the XM1s, to fight T-80UDs why not. And also spike carriers like the sWaTrgInf, and Freccia OWS. 292mm pen and the armor will do it just fine im sure.

Vehicle: Q-5L
Gamemode: Ground Realistic
BR Change: 11.0 → 10.7
Reason: It can only equip 2 laser guided bomb with 4 unguided bomb or 2 rockets.Only 2 laser guided bomb let it can NOT fight with VT1 roland ADATS and TorM1,and it’s hard to fight with osa-AKM,2S6,the flight performance also isn’t good.

Honestly looking at all of these BR changes NATO CAS is absolutely gutted for all top tier aside from maybe 14.0 exactly. Not to mention the poor F-15E no longer has a purpose since who would ever use it over the F18E

**KV-1/ZiS-5 **
**4.7→5.0**Realistic Battle
KV-1/ZiS-5 is the best protected tank at 4.7-5.0 and has better weapon and mobility comparing to Chirchill VII(BR5.0). The protection and mobility of KV-1/ZiS-5 are better than those of KV-1 m1942(BR4.7).

Credit where its due- GJ release this during the sale.

Going to hold off buying the premiums I wanted… days after I get the tank I was grinding months for (T72) its yeeted. I see all my other line ups are gone too so no point spending ATM

M1A2T

12.7 → 13.0

12.7 → 13.3

Its just a copy pasted M1A2 SEP but omly gets M829A2 instead of A3. Shouldnt be at a lower BR when its the same tank, if not arguably better

Tram It wasn’t exactly playable at 11.7 as it was, and now you’ll be facing Pantsirs.
