In sim Su-27/33 should be lowered to 13.0, same as RB. At the current state, no matter the br bracket, you are forced to face constantly fox-3. Sim isn’t the same as RB and having probably the best fox-1 doesn’t help at all.

Speaking of GRB I want to acknowledge that, while far from being perfect, the BR changes are a step in the right direction. Seeing the 2S38 and t80 go up alongside the t58 and xm246 is a start, and at least in my hope proof that gaijin is in constructive dialogue with the player base.
That gives me hope that further changes are possible and gaijin has an open ear.
That being said the balance of the game is far from being as good as it could be. I think that BR decompression is much needed. I have never struggled with matchmaking wait times, and yet it often feels as if the higher tiered vehicles clearly dominate matches.
The BMPT is a good example as it offers outstanding firepower and protection whilst being still fairly mobile. At 10.3 or 10.7 many tanks will have early and lacklustre apdsfs, and start stock with heatfs. Having to face relikt era makes the confrontation very one sided. Meanwhile NATO external composite armour offers barley any protection from 30mm apds.
I do not understand why the tt bmpt and the t72 bmpt must remain at the same battle rating? Keeping one at 11.3 but giving it Kontakt-5 instead of relikt, whilst bumping the other one to 12.0 could offer more variety and make the matchmaking fairer.
I understand that gaijin will only gradually nerf newly introduced vehicles, but releasing it at 10.7 was ludicrous. It is up to us, the players, to keep pushing for more change.
TL;DR:
Good but far from perfect changes.
BR decompression needed - 13.0 or 13.3
10.7 should not face full Relikt armor
Be patient but persistent with gaijin’s response to clearly overpowered vehicles (bmpt’s)

Just glad the Abrams weren’t touched/moved up.
Don’t worry, Bebrams is that pampered to it doesn’t have to fear any BR changes.
Click Bait and company is undertiered for the longest time and no one cares.

How did the Su-30MKK and Su-30Mk2 AMV avoid getting moved up? These things are menaces at 13.3. moving them up would have been a better solution then moving all the F-15s/16s down.

If i can somewhat agree with 2S38 nerf t80ud is just completely wrong. Ik it has good armor and apsfds but its worse in every other aspect. Comparing to other 10.7 tanks (leo2a4, kvt) its a lot less mobile (even if not counting backward speed), has some very sluggish both vertical and horisontal drives, and no thermals. Only logical way of moving its br is so it will be in a lineup with 2s38. Btw right now bmpt kinda balanced i think. Only logical reason for br raise is adding apsfds belt
funnily enough i find them to be really good, thanks to their low time to target and continuous tracking.
They pull like a brick though. Same with pl5e2
do they? geniunely asking, I havent really noticed any issues in that regard. sure, extremely close dogfight R-73 is better, but I personally never had issues with them.
Someone suggested at the previous BR change, that the BR difference of Hunter F.1 in GRB and ARB was maybe an oversight…
So I suggested for that to be corrected: Planned Battle Rating Changes (January 2026) - #735 by OliverXRed
Turns out that it probably wasn’t an oversight, but instead maybe on purpose, since the aircraft with only 4x ADEN cannons as it only weaponry, is more effective at killing ground targets such as XM803, Obj. 279 or T-62M-1 than it is as a figher aircraft. Otherwise why would a purely fighter aircraft have a higher BR in GRB than in ARB…
I seriously don’t understand, why there is the BR difference for it, where it is higher in GRB than ARB…

The premiums farm money and the tech tree gets an advantage. Profit squared for gaijin.
I’ve found pl8b and pl5e2 can only pull in for shots above 1.5ish km usually which makes it so that it’s super easy to pre flare.
While for r73 you can shoot them at almost any distance.
Basically every suggestion between 1.0 and 8.0 is ignored since 2 years ago. The moved a lot of stuff up and then stop the changes leaving low and mid ranks in a compression hell.

Yes, the fuel volume is only a few hundred kilograms less than that of the F16, but it’s 20 minutes less. Is that right? The F16 can easily reach around 1.8 Mach, and the fuel consumption of the 31F has also been exaggerated. This issue has been reported and submitted. China should also launch new missiles. The United States has the 120C, Russia has the R77-1, and China can launch the PL12A, but they just won’t do so

It honestly feels like pl8b and pl5e2 pulls worse than pl12 funnily enough
next time im flying out MKK, I need to see if thats the case first before passing any judgment.
@Stona_WT I forgot to ask, now that the devs are adding a radar to the Falcon to avoid dropping it in BR after removing the APDS belt, can we get an SPAA for 7.0 Britain? Ever since the Falcon moved up there hasn’t been an SPAA for 7.0 Britain and the Bosvark really is way, way out of its depth at this BR.
