Updated Planned Battle Rating Changes (April 2026)

only covers front plate thats it turret, is extremely vunerable and you have way better mobility its armor is basically paper

the cromwell has way better mobility and gun handling and a faster reload you make a lot of sacrafices for the gun

Ultimately, we need to raise the battle rating higher, the fact that an F-16A with a BR of 12.3 in ARB has to face deadly 13.3s equipped with a large number of ARH missiles is absurd; I see two solutions: either we extend the BR to ~16.7 OR we reduce the roll spread from 1.0 up/down to 0.7.

What gun handling? The QF 75mm doesn’t have a shoulder stop. It’s a flat out worse gun than the US 75mm.

Zero changes to Su-30 premiums. Gaijin is once again intentionally promoting pay to win mechanics in their game.

your horizontal traverse on the cromwell is 25/s aced the Panzer IV F2 is 16 aced gun handling is more than if you have stab or not

Explain to me how you’re going to justify magic 2s at 11.7 on a high end gen3 platform

Oh, and no Yak-3P, Yak-3U, Yak-9U, or Yak-9P uptiers also shows how biased towards russia gaijin really is. It’s plain in the open for everyone to see.

only one i see that should get a pass is the YAK 9P its only a little strong as its heavy metal instead wood so its kinda average

Yak-9P is stronger in the meta alone by itself than every single italian/japanese/german plane uptiered in this BR sheet. Zero exceptions.

Honestly, just add whatever changes Fourche7 suggests. A lot of what I came into the last thread suggesting is stuff he had already made even better posts about once I scrolled up. All good stuff from him.

It’s great to see the decompression around GRB 3.7 being added to the change list. Some of the worst offenders like the T-34 1940 and T18E2 being moved up is very nice, though there are a number of other tanks around rank II that still need to be addressed in GRB (e.g. Sherman III/IV, M4A3 105).

I will make separate posts later detailing which vehicles I feel still need adjustment for this decompression, but overall, I was quite pleasantly surprised by the direction taken with this updated list. With how jaded I’ve been about the game these days, that’s saying something. Well done snail.

Japan Me 210 - V22

  • Rank : Rank II → Rank III
  • Ground Realistic Battle : BR: 2.7 → 4.0
  • Air Simulator Battle : BR: 2.7 → 3.7

Reasoning:
It’s overpowered as hell!!!
This plane completely outperforms Japanese bombers of the same rank in every single aspect.
Even judging by Japan’s own plane evaluation criteria, the BR definitely needs to be increased.

are you using it as a bomber? It is a multi role heavy fighter, it can do A2G and A2A but doesn’t dominate in neither.

the P-51H-5 is still 6.3, gaijin just doesnt care cuz people suck in them therefore they clearly dont need to go up in BR

explain to me why the JH-7 get PL-5Es at 11.3 with a better flight model

@Fourche7 has excellent suggestions. He’s very unbiased.

@Nostalgistic is the same case for Aircraft, very neutral stands and well explained justifications.

No? Why on early would this ever become a 5.0? It is no where near as good as the Vk-30.02 which is currently 5.0 and should be 5.3

I agree with this, Vk.30.02 is a sidegrade to the panther, less armor for more mobility
