Responding to Feedback on the Planned Battle Rating Changes April 2025

At this point, BR changes should involve a community vote if they aren’t going to disclose their balancing data in regards to implementation.

2A5 still not 11.7?

Also TKX, type81 and fuji need to be 12.0

Indeed, the whole tier 1 BRs for japanese coastal is illogical, nothing has been adjusted accordingly after the replacement of the reserve vehicle.

Moreover, why after all these years finally fixing B-26C BR to be the same as the B-26B in Air RB, but not doing the same for the F-100s and the F-84Fs in Air AB ? Same vehicles with the same equipment having different BRs across different nations is not a normal situation. I have alerted about this situation since years…
@Stona_WT could you please tell us if these issues have been forwarded ?

Or the Tornados

For the love of God don’t change the air simulator battle ratings again. The sim players are a nasty whining bunch, let them have it!

Yeah except the game is based on battle rating, which, in my head, would mean two vehicles at the same br have the same effectiveness in a match, one just trades some stuff for some other. Tiger 2 is the easiest to pick on because it has crazy good armor, gun handling, shells, smoke and also an almost 2 kd almost every month. Meanwhile you have t44 thats just sad at the same br.
And now we’re gonna have m4 that has practically no armor, alright gun handling (if we ignore how bouncy oscillating turrets are and the lack of elevation), decent pen and practically no post-pen at HIGHER br than the tiger 2 h. Which btw also get really good cas options and very very good lineup with it.
M26 is just sad at 6.7 imo i dont even wanna talk about that

Mode: Ground realistic

Vehicle: OTOMATIC

BR Change: 11.3 ->10.7/11.0

Reasoning: having only a quick-firing 76mm gun with he-vt at 11.3 and its not as good as other aa in it’s BR

Gotta love all of the feedback being completely ignored… AGAIN

Im not entirely sure why they even bother with these threads half the time.

Yeah and considering they already updated these BRs on dev we can easily assume further feedback wont be even looked at.

Honestly same. Like there seems to be little point to it. And…I don’t understand the lack of CM engagment. No one is following up with player concerns and confusion.

Yeah, especially when the changes being requested arent based upon personal opinion but clear fact.

Im glad the B-26B vs B-26C issue finally got resolved as that was a classic one, it took too long to fix, but its not alone. The clearest at the moment imo, is the fact the J-34 is 9.3 in SB but the Hunter F6 is 9.0 in SB. The F6 is superior to the J34 in every single respect and it just makes absolutely no sense.

Its problems like that, which just confuse the hell out of me and make me question whether the CMs are really forwarding every suggestion or whether the devs even care. Though this time round there was no SB changes at all, so maybe it was noted for next time, but that is a poor excuse in itself

You’re literally in the topic proving they didn’t ignore feedback.

You can say “They acknowledged feedback in a manner I disagree with.” instead and it be accurate to the facts.

The quick reload speed of all tanks in the TKX (P) and Type 90s lineup gives them an advantage in many situations where fire rate plays a crucial role

Which is literally the only redeeming factor whilst being worse in practically every other category, and that advantage is already being chipped away at constantly by giving reload speed increases for other MBTs in lieu of fixing their issues or decompressing the BRs.

Despite lacking a search radar and having to deal with the drawbacks of missiles with IR seekers, such as target acquisition distance, it has a second seeker mode and embraces the benefit of such missiles that have fire and forget capabilities.

Despite lacking in every category and having to go up against jets that engage from 10-20km away, despite being unable to get a lock on anything over 5km, despite not being able to detect anything, despite being unable to lock onto drones, or helicopters or jets half the time for whatever reason, and despite all your feedback, we still treat our statistics like the holy grail of data and ignore everything else.

Statistics mean nothing, it just doesn’t die as often as it doesn’t get detected as easily BECAUSE IT DOES NOT HAVE A RADAR AT TOP TIER.

The TKX (P) will still be able to be in the same lineup as the Type 81 (C), so its Battle Rating being raised doesn’t leave it without a lineup.

A single overtiered MBT with a single overtiered SPAA, what a stellar lineup.

Absolute clownery.

And the Yak-9K with the unrealistic APHE continuing to remain severely undertiered along with the KV-1B/E. Russian Bias strikes again.

Pantsir-S1 = 12.0
Type 81 (C) = 11.7
HQ17 = 11.3

The people who play this game would never do that.

It was enough of a hassle playing top tier Japan with an overtiered SPAA. Now the SPAA is bloody worthless. Time to scrap my Japan line-up.

Bloody IvanBoos again, I swear. Ruining this game along with Gaijin.

Cute flag. I’m still over 9000% right.

Given the sheer number of things that get brought up time and time again, such as the Tornado IDS BRs or the state of the British Phantoms. Its hard to accept any other conclusion than that they just pick and choose what feedback to record.

I would like to say, as a person who has been playing the Japanese tree after finishing my French, I currently do not have the TKX (P). I got both of my Type 90s and then went for the Type 10. Having been playing off and on, I am still halfway to the Type 10. My 11.3 lineup now must count on praying I get placed with a team with decent SPAA because I will have reduced air defense as I must go back to the Type 93, and the only aircraft I have at my disposal is the over-tiered F-4EJ Kai (I get it has a good radar and decent missiles, but no ground ordinance and I have the Mirage F1’s which have even weaker armament and should also go down in GB rating, specially since the CT still hasn’t gotten any of its guided munitions). If the EJ Kai got its AAM-3 I could maybe see why, and also why I think the F-15J should go even farther to 11.7 at least as, unlike the F-15A it has no guided weapons and is just, like the Kai, a bomb truck that has to go against the Tor-M1/HQ17, both ADATS, FlaRakRad, the Pantsir-S1, (I’m going to leave Italy out of this because lets be real), and both ItO. If you want to use it for Air Superiority and run “CAP” you also have to contend with enemy air defenses. (I also really hope that we’re getting AI AAA to help even things out.)

TL:DR Make A2A only aircraft with lower GRB ratings and cheaper spawns.

P.S. I also think the F-16 ADF GB rating should go down, probably to 11.3 like the F-4EJ Kai.
