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

It only loses to the 27ER at range in the SARH category.

Your loss that you cannot use an AESA radar beyond locking people (just ignore the completely superior target-spotting ability that it has)

“having spent time playing the very best 13.0 my verdict is F-2A ADTW can’t beat the very best 13.0” lmfao

VT4 should STAY at 12.3 or even move down 12.0 with the ZTZ96B so it has a lineup. No way a slow tank, with ONLY FY2 ERA should be the same BR as the ZTZ99A with its FY5 ERA (even if its just for turret)

you know AESA has other meanings than just TWS, right?

the radar is practically impossible to notch, and AIM-7Ms are more than enough at the BR with their buffs.

And im sorry but AAM-3s are arguably the best IRCCM missile in game aside from the magic 2

and to top it all off with a lovely cherry on top, youre in a better version of the viper airframe

I’d argue it is the best irccm. Magic 2s are great and all, but the IRCCM only works rear aspect. Meanwhile AAM-3s work on the side aspect (which is more common) and it’s also the longest range of the small fox-2s

Hawk H-75A-2
h-75a-2_finland

  • Arcade Battle BR: 2.7 → 1.7

  • Realistic Battle BR: 2.7 → 2.0

h-75a-2_finland
Rationale:
This plane has a legacy BR that needs to be updated.
It’s honestly more so a QoL change than balance change.

It’s placed at a MUCH higher BR than the H-75A-4 despite being the exact same thing with a worse engine. Its current BR placement only serves to arbitrarily discourage marketplace sales.

it should be, but every AESA is pretty much as notchable as every other radar. only difference is reacquisition time.

this is unfortunately a con of how gaijin models radars
all PESAs have a comically slow scan speed compared to what it should be irl, and AESAs are just really fast PESAs (by really fast i mean just a realistic PESA scan speed)

makes it so AESAs have the same downsides and operate the exact same as a PESA, just try to pretend its different by making it faster

Hello gaijin!

I would like to kindly ask for the Super Étendard to go up to 11.3 instead of 11.7. Both of the current 11.0 French tanks are being moved up to 11.3, and marooning this plane a step higher would really hurt it for little reason. It has to rely on slow, laser-guided munitions which can be tricky and dangerous to lay compared to a lot of the FNF at its battle rating. I do not think removing one of France’s only high-tier lineups is a good idea. Personally (and i think this is a pretty well-agreed-upon statement), the Super Étendard is much more fun to fly than the Jaguar and it already has to make seriously tough decisions with its payload. I mean, come on, it’s unique and iconic—I want to use that one!

Mode: Ground Realistic Battles
Suggested Change: 5.0 → 5.3/5.7
Rationale:
This vehicle recently received the bomber buff. With it’s 50 RPG on the 45 mm NS-45s and Three 1000 kg bombs, it is completely unfair for it to be facing early 75 mm armed Shermans and Pz.IV series vehicles. Moving this vehicle to 5.3 or even 5.7 would be the minimal nerf required for it.

OR

Mode: All modes
Suggested Change: 5.0 → 5.0 (Remove 45 mm APHE)
Rationale:
Another possible solution is to remove the 45 mm APHE. By doing so it is limited to 3 nerfed bombs and APCR shells. Then it would be a moderately upgraded He 219 and could stay at 5.0

Not really? In a hardlock, the radars are similarly easy to notch. This has nothing to do with scan speed.

(This is not to downplay the myriad other features PESA/AESA has that makes them so much better than mech radars in game)

Mode: Naval Arcade Battles
Suggested Change: 3.7 → 4.0
Rationale:
Sits at the same BR as the MPK Pr.201K/M while being better in every way. Self explanitory really

Mode: All modes
Suggested Change: 6.7 → 6.3
Rationale:
Compared to the much better P-51H, the J21RA is lacking for the BR and should be moved down or given 13.2mm HMGs

The J21RA also has a worse engine than the A21RB by almost 200kgf but sits at same BR

Schütze 3.0 → 3.3.
Naval battles (both realistic and arcade).
If Baleno goes to 3.7, this thing which has exact the same effectiveness due to fast-firing Bofors 40/70 has no business at 3.0.

Mode: Ground Realistic Battles
Suggested Change: 4.7 → 5.0/5.3
Rationale:
It’s not that much worse than the Tu-1, with roughly the same firepower(20mm instead of 23mm), and slightly worse bombs(FAB500 vs FAB1000), but is much more maneuverable and can easily wipe out entire lobbies after the bomber buff. Moving to 5.0/5.3 is only fair

Please move the Malaysian A4PTM Down to 9.3? Its lack of CCIP/CCRP and ballistics makes doing any type of groundwork in nuclear escalation impossible.

Vehicle: BMD-4 Family
Game mode: Ground RB
BR Change: 9.7 to 10.3
Reason: They are more then capable at 10.3 and if they remain at 9.7 after the BR decompression they will be overpowered and destroy the battle rating.

Vehicle: BMP-3
Game mode: Ground RB
BR Change: 9.3 to 9.7
Reason: Needs to move up with the 9.3 line up to 9.7. It would save 8.3 tanks from facing it.

The Golden Eagle definitely doesn’t belong at top tier!!! It under preforms.

Vehicle: G8N1
Game mode: Air Realistic Battle
BR change: 6.3 → 6.7 or roll back damage models
Reason: No clue why nobody talking about but, gunners are insane as Tu-4 and they got omega buffed in damage model changes.
