Updated Planned Battle Rating Changes (April 2026)

“Listen carefully and take feedback into account” vs what they really mean: “we listen, we hear, we throw your opinions into the trash”

Vehicle:
SAAB J35XS

Br 10.3 → 10.7

Air realistic
Simulator battles

Additional comments:
Add RB27 (AIM 26B found on the Swiss mirage)

This plane is a constant point of contention with a strong flight model at low br but moved up to 10.7 and it becomes a lot worse
Adding the radar missile would give it more options for it and allow it to fight at 10.7 in both air realistic and simulator battles

Vehicle: F-4F Early
Mode: Air SB
Change: 10.7 → 10.3

Reason: it is the same BR as the normal F-4F which has Flares/Chaff (and AGM-65) unlike the Early which has neither of both…

Or

Plan B:

Add the AIM-9L to the F-4F (which has CMs) and push it to 11.0

Vehicle: Schützenpanzer PUMA

Mode: RB

Change: 10.3 → 10.0

Reason: since we now have more vehicles which feature similar armament as the Puma (Only a 30mm with 200 RPM) its time to move it to a BR were it makes atleast half sense…

Dragoon: 9.7 (30mm)
PUMA: 10.3 (30mm)
BMD-4M2: 9.7 (30mm @ 330RPM)/HE/ATGM Launcher)
Typ 24 ICV(P)/RCV(P): 9.7/9.7 (30mm)
ZBD04A: 10.0 (30mm/HE/ATGM Launcher)

Almost… almost

Mig29 should be going down to 12.3 in airRB too, why are you so hell bent on keeping it bad

Vehicle: Leopard A1A1

Mode: RB

Change: 9.0 → 8.7

Reason: It has no LRF, No Thermal and just DM23, all that gives you a big disadvantage between tanks which are just 0.3 higher but have a LRF/Thermal and DM33

Inherent flaw with the BMPT in general yeah, I don’t think a tank being completely unkillable hulldown is healthy for gameplay as a whole. You can only disable it and outflank it. Thankfully, most BMPT players are too busy rushing in blindly thinking they’re invincible to actually abuse this.

Vehicle: BO 105 PAH-1
Gamemode: RB
BR Change: 9.3 → 9.0

Reason: it has as Anti Tank just 6x HOT 1 with 4km range and 700mm Pen, No Thermal Vision, no Auto Tracker, no chance against Planes as you have to left 3 HOT-1’s at home for 1x fixed 12.7mm MG, additional it is currently at the same BR as the BO 105 PAH-1A1 which is to 99% the same Heli, just that the 1A1 gets HOT-2 ATGMs with a bit more pen, making the PAH-1 9.0 would also fill a BR gap in the German Heli Tree

Vehicle: Alpha Jet A

Mode: Air RB

Your BR change: 8.7 → 9.0

If you want to move the Alpha Jet A up in ARB, than atleast reconsider improving the engine to the C-20 which they should allready have…

The Thai Alphas have for some Unknown reason allready the C-20 engine…

Vehicle: Ozelot

Mode: Ground RB

Proposed Change:
9.7 → 9.3

Reason: it is not on the same level as a Gepard 1A2, sure its small and has a IRST Radar but thats it…
The Type 93 and ZSU-23-4M4/PGZ04A/SANTAL and Imp. Chaparral are allready 9.3 while having better Missiles or even Guns/AHEAD ammo…

If i were to say anything in this regard id straight up get banned but lets just say im not happy nor confident in decisions regarding long term sustainability of the game.

I won’t. I like mouse aim.

Vehclie: Fokker D.XXIII
Mode: ARB
Change: 2.3 - 2.7

Reason: Even after the speed fix, it’s still really powerful. I’m far from a good WT player, and picked it up and nearly got an ace in it with little issue.

Im going to cry, the changes for lowtier stuff make me question why im even playing this anymore

To 2.

The US and the Chinese ones are the only ones at rank 2 right now, so I think they wrote it wrong.
They should go from rank 2 to rank 3

It’s op, it should have gone up years ago

This thing has almost singlehandedly ruined the 8.0 range for so long

Vehicle: F-84F (Germany, Italy, France)

Change: Rank 6 → Rank 5

Reason: The US one is at rank 5 with airspawn while being identical

Aircraft:
Mirage 4000

Mode:
Air RB

Proposed change:
13.0 > 12.7

Reasoning:
it has a bad radar for its battlerating with only a proper HDN mode, IR missiles which are lackluster in the BVR meta at this current moment when right above it and on its Battle Rating there are an abundance of ARM slingers. and the F-15s which are superior to it in every way except turning have been lowered too

Plane: US P-51D-30 & Chinese P-51K
Change (Air RB): 5.0 → 4.7
Reasoning:
The P-51D-30 and P-51K still hella over-BR’d at 5.0, they’re only marginally better than the D-15 at 4.3, it’s high time it dropped to 4.7
