Planned Battle Rating changes (table updated 04.08.2023)

Why is the VFM going up to 9.7 and has absolutely no thermals. Or any redeeming quality to justify its br movement. Its literally a Leo 1a1a1. Now at 9.7. Id suggest give it thermals. Or move it back to 9.3

Type 90 lineup should not meet 12.0 CAS, tank must go 10.7 into lineup with AH64DJP

New to forum and idk how to edit. But i would even say to move the vfm5 to 9.0. As like i said before. It is a CARBON COPY of the 1a1a1 which would now be at 9.0

I support everything that’s going up.
9.7s that were deemed as good as the ex-9.7s that went up earlier this year.

This is great decompression.
M60 AMBT getting to be the same BR as TURMS-T as it should be again.

Some feedback regarding reload rate changes:

I noticed many of the platforms based on the T-54 are receiving a rate of fire increase, likely to compensate for their lackluster stats.
I am wondering why the same isn’t being done to the M60 series of vehicles, they currently hold quite poor performance relative to their Battle Ratings and could use any help they can get.

The Chinese CM11 already showcases that a buffed reload rate for a M60-based vehicle is possible.

True I now have to suffer even more in that Chinese junk called the qn506 that i wasted too much time getting

Type 89 is not being nerfed in BR.
This is BR decompression, so its relative BR is mostly the same.
However, it should’ve been 8.7 for a couple years now IMO as someone that uses it.


@EternallyEternal

Because this is BR decompression, so both AMX-30B2s go up.
Which I support as someone that uses them.


@Necrons31467

I support that.

The Re.2005 serie 0 definitely shouldn’t move up, it already struggled a lot at 5.7, at 6.0 it would be straight up unplayable

I get that, but the B2 has no reason to be moving up as well, the BRENUS is a good upgrade over the B2, improving defenses, though thats debatable seeing how IRCM and Chemical only ERA are kinda moot points.

yeah people can’t tell the difference between BR decompression and BR nerfs lmao

and yet the community asks for decompression when they cant even differentiate it.

AMX-32 105 to 9.3? That means normal AMX-32 will be same br with better gun, armor, mobility and same reload. Could’ve been avoided by giving 105 better reload than 120 as literally presented in the devblog. Devblog that promised similar armor and powerplant to 120 version that are also not there. While those cant be changed if historical documents prove otherwise reload can be buffed.

I think reload buff would somewhat fix that issue and will add the choice you very much directly mentioned in devblog that isnt present in game.

Wyvern in sim to 5.3 is nice change but where is the realistic battles change? I think many people will agree cold war turboprop shouldn’t be 4.0. You cant even compare its power to other 4.0 attackers.

Ki-49 IIb Late getting down in sim to match the non Late version br which is identical is nice. They should have same br in arcade tho too since they are the same vehicle pretty much.
Theres also Yer-2 (ACh-30B) (l) that you should lower in sim since early version also doesnt differ in any way and probably more examples like that.

Tanks with cold war weapons below 6.7 not touched also surprising. you can use this update to push some of them a bit up. Some of them are tragic in other ways so can stay like type 60 atgm. Amount of naval changes also quite sad.

at this point i will not even try to explain it anymore… re2005 to 6.0 not even talking about the fact that italian props are all 0.7 too high

Change 2S38 BR to 10.3 or 10.7, still best vehicle to able to pen top tier tanks.

Please for the love of God and all that is holy, DO NOT TOUCH THE IS-6, DO YOU NOT REMEMBER HOW MUCH IT SUFFERED AT 7.3??? We have a balance right now Gaijin, please dont ruin it…

T-54 (1949) and Leopard 1 going to 8.0, Why at 9.0 they have to face tanks with apfsds rounds, laser range finders and stabilizers. I thought these tanks were lowered just because of this issue. Gaijin is once again making the same mistake by compressing the top br brackets without moving the very higher battle ratings further up. All of the vehicles that have HEAT-FS, apfsds, laser range finders, stabilizers and thermal imagers should’ve been moved up including top tier 11.7 vehicles

I get what Gaijin is trying to do, and it’s largely a good move in my opinion, but the US T29 being moved to 7.3 BR in Ground makes me scratch my head. I mean, it struggled at 7.0 as it was. Now it’s going to struggle even more. If anything, the T29 probably should have gone down to 6.7 in RB.

Some of these changes are ok but why are cold war vehicles being compressed? We need to stop WW2 vehicles from fighting cold war as much, but not by making cold war the new compression chamber

the Leopard 1 has been blatantly OP for years now

While i like most of the decompression, now that mid tier has been decompressed, after high tier was decompressed. High tier is now compressed again, and because of this i would auggest moving high tier up again by ~ .3 to a max of 12.0 for grb
