Updated Planned Battle Rating Changes (April 2026)

Yeah I could see this being a good change. It is, like my suggestion for the 262 Jabo, an underutilised plane in GRB which would benefit from being at a BR with an actual lineup, without breaking the game

War Thunder’s biggest saboteur’s genuine reaction to being told to do anything that would help the game:

(Seriously, why are the Su-30MKK and Su-30MK2 not at least 13.7?)

M24s are better Shermans while they were the same BR as the base Shermans.
On top of that AMX-13 F-11 was 4.3 for the longest time despite being an extremely similar system to the M24.

I mean, they already gave exceptions for B-52H and Tu-95M (giving them airspawns) at Rank VI.

I am OK with not changing Rank. Just give those non-US F-84Fs the same exceptions as above.

ARL-44 (ACL-1) (FR)

fr_arl_44_acl1

  • Arcade Battles: 3.7 → 4.0
  • Realistic Battles: 3.7 → 4.0

Reasoning
In line with the updates to many vehicles in this BR range, the ARL-44 ACL-1 also deserves to go up. Since the gun was buffed for historical reasons many moons ago, it has consistently been a pain to meet for many vehicles with a lower BR.

BF-109G-14 (Germany)

  • Realistic Battles: 5.3 → 4.7

Reasoning
The BF-109G-14 is identical in performance to the BF-109G-6 found at battle rating 4.7, it is extremely overtiered for what it is and should be put into a folder with the BF-109G-6 at BR 4.7

3.3s like M4A1 stand little chance against such a tank it has amazing mobility and a 1.2second reload making the strat to play it just hold the trigger down it takes very little skill to play such a broken tank it can still seal club at its br

Bf 109 T-2

  • Rank : Rank II → Rank III
  • All Battle : BR: 3.0 → 4.0

Reasoning:
The Bf 109 T-2 is an excellent fighter that combines superior turning performance and climb rate, making it fully capable of competing against the Yak-3 and Spitfire F. It’s 20mm Minengeschoß ammunition is extremely powerful. With 2,000 rounds of 7.92mm MG 17 machine guns, it can also pour fire into enemy aircraft for a long time and turn them into Swiss cheese.
When compared to the Japan Ki-61, the Bf 109 T-2 is superior in low-speed turns, slightly inferior in high-speed turns, has comparable firepower, and possesses an overwhelmingly better climb rate.

worst 109 to spade in my opinion

from what i have seen and what i expiranced by uing them the yak-9k and the yak-9ut should have the ground targets all aphe belt removed as no mattert what br you take up to it can pen like 99% attack on making it hard to near inpossible to “balance” properly like alot of belts in the past being removed for same reasons i would be better to remove that belt all together ince it caused so my toruble

It’s a APHEBC round. The modifier only applies to APCBC, APHECBC, or APHEC. In one or two cases, it also applies to APC, but never to rounds that only have a ballistic cap. It needs to have a normal cap.

Reduce the Battle Rating Spread. Only Maximum Uptier of .7

the G-14 and G-10 are both extremely overtiered

should not be allowed to face the ME-262 A1A its downright deplorable for this br to be allowed its absurd as most 7.0s cant do anything about it

Id say equals. Sherman slower but doesn’t blow up with 1 round of AA

Not sure about the french version, if it has the same rounds it should also be 3.7.

Vehicle: Superhind
BR: 10.3 → 10.0
Reason: It gets worse ATGMs then USSR 9.7 helis, only 342M/S and 5KM vs 550M/S. The thermals and auto gunner lock are nice but you just cant do much vs SPAA at its BR. You are also very much within IR missile lock range vs other helis such as the 10.3 Hellfire helis and something like the MI-35M which can sit outside IR range (the 1KM extra range is very useful).

same reason as mig 15 should not be facing ME262s and F80s its not fair at all deplorable that this was allowed in the first place

its OP that this is lower then the F80C its very broken as it has insane thrust and should not be facing 6.3 props as they can not counter its insane energy performance

It’s scuffed atm. With the benefits of the loading tray actually modeled, both ARL 44’s should have well above average reload like a Chi-Ri. The ACL-1 could be moved to 4.3~4.7, and the production model could be 6.0~6.3.

There are also some smaller issues with the armor model that would be nice to see fixed.
ARL-44 hull pannier outer armour thickness incorrect
ARL-44 inner side armour thickness incorrect
ARL 44 missing internal walls (sponsons and engine)
