The current Battle Rating (BR) system needs a fundamental rework. Currently, a vehicle’s BR is fixed based on its maximum potential performance, which creates a massive and unfair gap during the “stock grind.”
I believe that a system where the base capabilities of the vehicle remain the foundation of its BR, but the installed upgrades and chosen loadouts act as modifiers, would be much fairer.
It is unreasonable for a stock vehicle (missing key components like APFSDS, laser rangefinders, or competitive missiles) to be treated the same as a fully “spaded” one. Under this proposal, the BR would dynamically adjust—within a reasonable limit—based on what the player has actually unlocked and equipped. This would ensure a much fairer environment for those starting a new line, while still maintaining balance for players who have already completed their vehicles but face superior opponents in constant uptiers.
What do you guys think? Would this make the grind more bearable?
