Updated Planned Battle Rating Changes (April 2026)

Vehicle: Churchill Crocodile

Change: Add M61 APHE - outstanding bug report here

Reason: The large reshuffling of the 2.7-4.0 is the perfect time to address the completely anemic performance of the British 6pdr and OQF 75mm by giving them their historical APHE ammunition.

It’s going down. Not up. It fluctuates sure, but generally it’s not doing so hot.

Why doesn’t the Yak-3E get its BR raised from 4.0 to 4.3?

If you needed a filler between the Strv m/42 EH and Strv m/42 DT

Btw the E100 reached an all time peak of 5.23 KDr.

Using a vehicle that only tournament winners get and trying to use it as a analogy for all the other vehicles in the game sure is wild.

So you think the E100 is okay. But the French vehicle is OP…
Yeah okay sure… you’re firing on all cylinders clearly.

You continue to be rude to people just trying to have reasonable argument, sounds like you are the child here.

And maybe you should get good at the game before being so rude.

M24 Chaffee

  • Reload Speed: 6.5 s → 5.6 s

  • Add T45 Shot (APCR)

  • Add M48 Super Charged (HE) (Bug Report)

  • Correct missing driver dual controls (Bug Report)

us_m24_chaffee


Rationale:
The Chaffee is a decent vehicle that deserved to go up to 4.0, but it should receive some small buffs to allow it to retain effectiveness in uptiers now that it will be consistently facing more well armored opponents. The rate of fire can be slightly improved to between that of the Sherman and Pz.IV, and it should be able to use T45 HVAP, much like the M4A2 at the same BR.

The addition of dual controls would allow the hull machine gunner to drive the vehicle when the driver is knocked-out. This is a completely historical feature, carried over from the M5A1 Stuart, and was present in all standard M24’s from beginning to end of production.

Aircraft: Ta152C-3

Mode: Air RB

Proposed Change: 6.3→ 6.0 - 5.7

Reason:
Terrible maneuverability; increased difficulty in attacking due to the MG151’s reduced muzzle velocity; and worse climb performance than the P-51H and other aircraft of comparable class

The irony here is I am good at the game lol.

You and others are rude all the time, don’t act like you aren’t.

Lastly, you and I have very similar stats lol. Telling me to get good XD. Look in a mirror.

  • Vampire FB.5
  • Vampire FB.52 (ITA)
  • Vampire FB.52 (SWE/SF)

BR change: 8.07.7

Reason: The Vampire’s flight performance outside of Angle of Attack has no advantage over aircraft like the F9F’s, F.8 Meteor and especially the F-86A for example.

  • Venom FB.4

BR change: 8.78.0

Reason: Same as the Vampires but on a more extreme scale. Also there’s a lot of vehicles the Venom struggles with even at it’s BR and in the case of the F-104’s and the Su-7’s to a lesser extent which the Venoms do fight is basically impossible unless through a head on, lucky shot and/or the F-104/Su-7 not playing their aircraft properly.

  • Ki-67 Ko & Otsu

Should receive wing mounted bombs (2 60kgs, 2 100kgs, 2 250kgs and 2 500kgs) and wing mounted fuel pods

Reason: The Ki-67’s currently have a worse bombload than every other Japanese bomber previously, The Ki-21’s and 49’s for example have a larger bombload due to the omit ion of the wing mounted bombs. The addition of the wing mounted bombs will give the Ki-67’s more of a purpose in the game over to the previously mentioned bombers not only as a base bomber but also as a frontline bomber.

  • A-26B-10 & A-26B-50 Invader

Should receive Mk.13-6 Case Torpedoes

Reason: The fastest speed to launch the non-cased Mk.13’s is 205mph which is very close to staling speed for the Invader. Also the A-26B’s would be in service when the regular Mk.13’s are being phased out in favour of their Cased counterparts. Due to the higher maximum drop speed of the Mk.13-6 Case, it would give the Invaders more of a purpose against naval targets than currently with the non-cased Mk.13’s

**Vehicle: ** Su-30MKK/MK2
Gamemodes: Air RB and Ground RB
Change: (ARB) 13.3 → 13.7 (GRB) 12.3 → 12.7

Justification:

Both premium flankers absolutely dominate both air and ground RB.
sporting the best missile loadout in air (Good ARHs, R-27ER and good IR missiles) with probably one of the better radars of 13.3 thanks to NCTR and HMD.
Thanks to this they are comparable to multiple 13.7 aircraft if not better, especially due to how often they end up facing Fox-1 or Fox-2 slingers while having Fox-3s (and lots of them)
The flight model being mid is not an issue at all, due to the extremely versatile and powerful loadout it carries

In ground RB they sport a superior CAS loadout to the Su-27SM, with two more KH-29Ts just to lose one Fox-3. This completely makes up for the worse flight model compared to the 27SM.

The change in air RB has been heavily requested since these two aircraft were added.

It was one of the most popular requests in the last br change as well as the first forum post for the April br changes
They absolutely need to go up in br.

My stats -

Yours -

Maybe when you have better stats then mine you can be somewhat condescending (and I dont care about anyone elses stats as they are not being rude to random people on the internet)

Btw neither you or me have a 2.0 KDr in the AMX-50 (TO90/930).

And we are both good players.

So I think you have a personal bias against this vehicle, as it should be higher in KDr if it’s so good.

M4A1 Sherman

us_m4a1_1942_sherman


Rationale:
The M4A1 was too strong at 3.3, but it will be slightly underwhelming at 3.7 compared to other Shermans purely because of the dated armor model. Its hull armor needs to made identical to that of the Sherman II’s (which should be exact same tank but British). This would make the hull cheeks and turret roof less vulnerable to low caliber guns from head on, which would help justify the BR increase.

When brenus buff

Maybe you shouldn’t be rude to begin with? And demand people use your methodology over actual reasoning?

Ooh. Yah got me. A whole 2.12% worse. Whatever shall I do?

This thing being at 13.3 and saturating the BR because it exist is entirely the reason I stay at 12.0 right now. The Early Hornet in the British tree just isn’t fun to play because just about every match has a few Su-30s in and trying to spade my Tornado F.3 Late is a nightmare as its constantly into 13.3 against Su-30s.
