Vehicle: Hunter F.1

Gamemode: Ground Realistic

BR Change: 9.0 → 8.7

Reason:
The Hunter F.1 is currently at 8.7 in ARB, but somehow this plane that is an pure fighter with only 4x30mm ADEN is at a higher BR in GRB than in ARB.

It is an aircraft with NO armament made for ground attack, and it is higher BR in GRB than in ARB.
It has no bombs.
It has no rockets.
It has no missiles.
It has no counter measures.
It only have 4x 30mm cannons with a maximum pen of 37mm.

The only targets it can take out, is realistically SPAA, however that requires that it gets the jump on SPAA with radar, and it is at the BR where it has a high chance to also face off against SAM.

There is no real logical reason for it to have a higher battle rating in GRB than ARB.

Heavy tank no.6 6.0 > 5.7 (lacking add on armor, and smoke launchers, which are useless, block gun depression. It also is the only 6.0 tank for its br.).

so you assume they will get all the things right this time when the br changes are live…, a bit optimistic.
then you also got the problem that it is still very good in this br with probably the best/2nd best non irccm missiles.

VRCC/ Centauro I 105 R 9.7 → 9.3
This vehicle has for a long time been a relatively bad vehicle, good in mobility, but not much else. Its survivability is rather poor as it’s a light tank, but its gun handling isn’t much better. Its 6.7 sec load is a bit bad for it as well. Then with the addition of turret baskets, one hit pretty much anywhere to the vehicle typically results in the inability to fire back as usually your transmission is also destroyed.

Aubl 74 / HVG reload buff 5.0 secs → 4.25 secs (only logical If 120mm cannons can reload in 5.0 seconds, it doesn’t make sense how / why a 60mm cannon loads in 5.0 seconds. Lending itself to being one of the worst reloads for one of the worst cannons in the game).

This tank is already really really bad as is.

Su 30mkk and mk2 are still at 13.3?

Damn it was even accepted a year ago.
@Smin1080p_WT Can we get this moved along? It was already accepted and would allow the XS to play confidently in a BR where its performance makes more sense. (I say this as a J35XS owner as well.)

AMX 50 (TO/930) 8.0 > 7.7 (being slightly faster, with less armor and penetration than the somua, with a APHE round, it never made sense to move this to 8.0 after its battlepass ended, as 8.0 and up it struggles to fight a lot of vehicles if they’re stabilized, well armored, etc.)

the br range is generally just compressed
you have Buccaneers higher than this thing in br, and the early A10s etc
Su 25BMs like 11.0 with R73s

its just not a good br generally but a radar missile for fighting basically the same opponents anyway is very useful, especially for sim

Vehicle: Ki-94-II

Mode: Air Realistic

BR: 6.0 to 5.7/5.3 or even lower
ki_94_2 (1)

A rare event plane from 2016, barely used anymore. Why? Just because it is rare, or does its abysmal performance play a part in why its almost never flown nowadays? Similar to the Ki-87, it is a late war high alt interceptor featuring decent performance only at extreme altitudes, whilst suffering from subpar performance at anywhere else. Whilst it features good guns, it doesn´t climb well, isn´t partucularly fast, nor does it turn well, making putting its armament to use a challenge.

Equally, its stats according to statshark from the last six months are abysmal:

February 2026:

November 2025:
Screenshot 2026-04-22 163617

October 2025:
Screenshot 2026-04-22 163633

Keep in mind this thing is only .3 beneath the P-51H whilst being inferior in basically anything at and around its BR, and fighting Jets regularly. Likely the snail just forgot about it as it barely turns up in their stats due to never being played. For the last six months it hovered around between slightly more than 1000 Battles (1182 Battles in December of 2025) and slightly above 3000 battles per month (3362 in October).
Just because it gets played rarely nowadays shouldn´t mean it gets forgotten in an almost unusable state.

Naval realistic / sim

Scharnhorst 7.3 → 8.0
This ship has been a menace to naval for the longest time, being one of the hardest ships to kill in the game thanks to its armor scheme.
Its armor can reach over 1000mm RHA, and is next to impossible to ammo rack.
It’s “downside” is it’s weaker cannons, but it’s a mystery how this didn’t get pushed up in BR since all you really do is crew kill it.
If you brawl in it, you’re unstoppable.

Naval realistic / sim

Gneisenau 7.7 → 8.0
Having similar armor properties but boasting better cannons, it’s strangely low in br.
This vessel vs. 6.7s is quite literally a loss for the enemy team.

Why are we MCM’ing, crutch mechanic

oh

thread nuke went off

It is

Vehicle: T-72B3A

Gamemode: Ground Realistic

BR Change: 12.3 → 11.3-12.0

ussr_t_72b3_arena_m
Reason: It has no advantages in performance compared to the T-72B3 (with the UBH modification), and the presence of APS does not provide improved protection against the most common hazard.

true, you could decompress toptier to br 18.0 with no problems.

yes, its not the best, but I accepted the bad airframe good missile tradeoff there.

True

ELC bis

GRB 6.0 —> 6.3

Along with the BR increase, I propose add an optical rangefinder in accordance with these reports:

VDM still going up :( at least it’s in air RB only.

Very surprised to see so many ground vehicles around 3.3-3.7 going up a step in BR. If we could have decompression instead of different compression that would be great.
Happy enough with PzIV going up to 4.0. I like the PzIV and it’s pretty good for 3.7 so it feels right. But i would like the H and J to be moved back to rank III with the BR increase.
