Updated Planned Battle Rating Changes (April 2026)

It absolutely should. I have used the Su-30MK2 and PL12s seperately, a combination of both and in these quantities is beyond stupid even after the nerfs.

It’s incredibly impressive to go negative in either of the 30MKs, Even I as a ground player can easily maintain a 2 K/D in the MK2.

I would rather move the pzh2000, vidar type 99 to like 10.7 rather than making sph´s go down in br…
edit: the autocannons and other stuff will probably balance those he slingers better…

Good to see a large decompression of low tier 3.7!

If you actually use TWS at 13.3 with such high performance missiles, you are doing something wrong.

Using hard lock at long range and HMD lock at short ranges is far superior

The MK2 is not the same as the MKK. The Chinese also operate the MK2 and it has the N001VEP radar. The regular export N001VE radar is horrid and nearly crippled. The J8F has a superior radar for example and 2 PL-12s at 13.0

Should get more ngl

I agree. Give it 4 and put it at 13.3. Flight models start mattering less above 13.0 imho

Vehicle: Stormer AD (Alternatively Gepard 1A2 should go up in BR)

BR: 10.0 → 9.7

Reason: Straight up worse then the Gepard 1A2 at a higher BR, lower traverse by far, no sabo rounds for self defence, lower survivability, and the SAPHEI-T shell is much worse then the Gepards DM13 API-T

Vehicle: Tu-95M 8.3 → 8.0
Air Realistic / simulator

This vehicle was added along with the B-52, at a very similar br.

However the B-52 is better in every capacity besides defense armament. The TU-95 is:

  • slower in acceleration
  • slower in top speed
  • take much longer to reach top speed due to altitude requirements
  • has 2.357x LESS bomb load. (In sim the B-52 can kill a whole airfield with ease).
  • no air brake compared to the B-52
  • is much louder
  • for grb only 4x bomb drop available vs the b-52’s 21x bomb load.

You have the potential of 2x ER/ET and 4x PL-12 or R-77 or 6x PL-12/R-77 at 13.3. There is absolutely no reason to ever go negative K/D in a plane that has those.

Gajin, I emplore you to take a look at this as well as the Ki-94-II (will be my next suggestion). This plane has nothing except maybe its somewhat decent armament going for it. It´s a high altitude fighter interceptor, thriving only at ridiculous altitudes which don´t ever play a role in todays meta. It is not particularly fast at any altitude beneath the very high alt threshold, features a horrible climb rate and below average turn. The energy retention seems somewhat alright, though mostly only due to it barely pulling in turns. Keep in mind this is a digital product players spent real money for.
Nowadays its rarely even seen as in the current state it is simply abhorrent (not worse than the Ki-94-II though).
I don´t know if this plane has been on sale in the recent years, though I highly doubt it, therefore mostly only players who stuck around for years own it, players who know how to play the game, so its stats cant be skewed by newer players. Yet it still features some of the most abhorrent stats I have yet to have seen on statshark.

Stats of the past six months according to statshark:

March 2026:

Simply compare its stats as well as flight performance to vehicles of a similar BR. This thing up until the current BR changes which are yet to be implemented shares its BR with the Spitfire LF. Mk. IX, and regularly faces planes like the P-51H, late Spitfires and early Jets.

Idk what KD has to do with it. It doesn’t compete at 13.7 because of Radar, Flight Model, Engines, and now the PL-12 nerf

you could easily kill the J7D with this
it adds front aspect that the J7D has to dodge and then boom turn fight where the J7 has a weaker position and you win bc 9Js

You have HMD and NCTR at 13.3. not meny aircraft have this at 13.3

Along with the best missile kit of the br.

Both premium flankers need to go up, they are too strong at 13.3.
They are equal to if not better than 13.7 aircraft even

If the T-34s even the bad ones are getting nerfed. It only makes sense to move this horde of tanks with great guns up.

Ground Realistic / Ground simulator

Pz. IV F2 3.3 → 3.7
Pz. IV G 3.3 → 4.0
Pz. IV H 3.7 → 4.0
Pz. IV J 3.7 → 4.0
Pz.Bef.Wg.IV J 3.7 → 4.0

Honestly I swear this happens nearly every planned BR change. The least they could do is give us this mystical and ‘totally valid’ reason as to why they shouldn’t go up in BR

Not a nerf

Additionally a very important note the thin armour on the Ikv 103 will stand no chance to 37mm Stuarts and M4A2s with the Short 75mm. This thing is going to be absolutely bullied at 3.3

You have R-77s, they are definitely good enough.

Complaining about the radar is also moronic considering the best 13.7 plane has an incredibly similar radar as well.

The FM may be mid, but the missile kit is what makes the flankers stand out

Way ahead of you, nearly 1 year ahead of you lol
