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

I noticed the M1A1 HC (tech tree) is going up in BR. Assuming the changes are being made this month, does this mean that the research cost of the M1A1 HC is going up immediately?
This would stink because I am so close to finishing research on it right now.

It is unclear what the adjustment to the rating range was, considering that the aircraft is currently rated at 12.3 and not as changing from 12.7 to 12.3.

Here I’ll follow the same line of reasoning as before: in the simulator, this aircraft isn’t all that great, so I’d think that reversing the values would mean moving from the 12.3 range to 12.7. And the initial MiG-29s would remain at 12.3. I’d like a more convincing and technical explanation if that’s the reasoning.

I really want to believe that the typo was from 12.3 to 12.0 and that FRANCE won’t lose a fighter in the 11.7 to 12.3 range just to make the initial MiG-29s look better. There’s no way to defend you here, Gaijin.

i mean, technically the t72b also has pen going for it, since 440mm of pen is very good for 10.3 as it can slice through even the most armoured parts of mbt’s at the br. But like i get what you’re saying; it just feels very weird and awkward for it to be such a br difference between the two tanks, especially because on paper they’re rather comparable - armour, pen and spall (and good he) vs mobility, agility and responsiveness

i dont think its the absolute worst, but its up there. i love it for some reason, and it seems to be doing well stats wise, but thats kinda how unpopular vehicles are. people find out its bad, so they dont play it, leaving only people who like it for whatever reason and do way too well in it, and since not many others are playing it, they can raise the stats of it.

Vehicle: Harrier GR7
Game Mode: Air Arcade
BR Change: 13.0 —> 12.7
Reason: It is a subsonic attack aircraft that lacks SARH missile capability, as well as any glide weapons or cruise missiles. It is currently placed at a Battle Rating dominated by supersonic fighters equipped with ARH missiles, which makes it unviable to use. For comparison, the Harrier T10 is at 11.3, with the only difference being the missiles (AIM-9L on the T10 vs. AIM-9M on the GR7).

That’s literally for anything at that BR with just few exceptions of T series (because they have nothing else but armor going for them) and 120S, IPM1’s.

Okay but where are the premium Su30s and why are they not 14.0? This is some utter crap man. The Su30s have ruined top tier.

Also, as a side note, BRING BACK CLOSED BRACKETS FOR NUCLEAR ESCALATION. EG 8.7-9.7, 10.0-11.0, etc.

T80UD T72M2 BR : 10.7 → 11.0
Reason: Their performance is very competitive at 10.7, and the vehicles within their range have all improved BR. There is no reason not to improve these two already strong vehicles

T72B3(Arena) T90A ZTZ99Ⅱ-Ⅲ BR:11.0 → 11.3
Reason: Since Leopard 2 and Abrams have both been upgraded to 11.0, their BR should also be increased

T72B3 BR: 11.3 → 11.7 or higher
Reason: Basically the same as above
All in RB mode

My dear Olifant mk1 why should i play you are buy the new datamined one when at 8.7 i can just use a leo a1 in a betther lineup

CLAWS should be 12.3 and carry only aim 9x

Only going up one tick while most things go up two is an effective buff but I would be happier with this if they added the AHEAD ammo and lock-on its supposed to have.
Also the 9040B is going up too but the ct-cv 105hp isn’t.
Those three were a lovely lineup at 9.7 that’s broken now.

Same old story.You have been working on eg your english 10.7 lineup for years(premiums included) and than it is destroyed in a second. I was fed up after the BMPT desaster and took a long break,but now i think this break will last forever. Thank you for nothing!

Good tank, wrong br, in my opinion it’s basically improved leo 2a4, so it should be 11.0 or 11.3 maximum

11.0-11.3 is diabolical for the Type 90 lmao.

Seconded, already made this suggestion and we need to make noise about it, the AH Mk1 should not lose its current lineup with the chally 2s because of starstreaks, which haven’t been buffed, let alone be good in a long time.

And 12.3 is going to be Ka-52 territory which is ridiculous comsidering the starstreaks have a shorter range than vikhrs and require significant exposure to kill the kamov

And at 11.7 it’s one of the worst tanks because of uptire every single battle, weak shell, gen 1 thermal, almost no armor and slow turret rotation + it’s one of the worst lineups because of garbage spaa and no cas

Counterpoint: 4s reload means it’s amazing regardless of BR

TKX(p) needs to go back into that lineup however, makes no sense to be 0.3 higher due to thermal quality alone

Why is the Ariete’s BR being raised ? If anything , it should be lowered . I’m currently playing the premim Ariete Certezza , and i honestly don’t understand why its BR is so hight. Its armor is on par with the Type 90,its mobillity is inferior to the Abrams, and the ammunition storage has zere protection - leading to frequent ammo rack explosion . Most other tanks have some form of ammo protection , while the Chelleenger , T 90, T 80 might lack it , they at least compensatee with strong armor and other advantage . In my view , the Ariete is a weak MBT in the game - it simply doesent offer enought advantages over other MBTs . Therefore, i believe its BR should be lowered by at least two steps, rather than being raised even further . Both the premiuuum Ariete and thee rest of the Ariete line shouuld have some cllear advantages over other popullar MBTs, but right now , i seefar more downsidees than upsides. Even the top-tier Ariete sits at 12.3 , which goes to show its not exactly a top performing tank - especially when other nation have their primary MBTs at 12.7 . And yes , we did get the Hungarian Leoaprd , buut thats a completely different tank , we’re talkimg about the Ariete here .

1 second reload speed difference doesn’t suppose to give you +1.0 br
