Planned Battle Rating Changes (August 2026)

F-14A Early and the F-14A IRIAF have the same radar performance. BR 13.7(RB)? Are you serious?

I’d be fine with 16.0 right now, but I know gaijin wouldn’t want to jump that far up in one go, So 15.7 would be completely fine too.

15.7 would at least give a little breathing room. and thats IF they actually took the time to shuffle some of the jets below 13.7 around, because last time they added room i don’t think they changed anything below 13.0

Gaijin cannot just add 15.7 or 16.0 and only move things above 13.0 around, they need to shuffle the entire battle ratings around, this would mean jets like the Mig9 going up to 8.0, Su11 to 8.0, mig15bis to 9.3 F86F2 to 9.3 etc etc etc, not just chaning one or two jets here and there. The entire thing needs to be moved around to make room.

Every change would need to be looked at to check what it’s affecting and if it’s a silly change, They cannot just be like oh look the hunter F6 does quite well because it has semi decent missiles that get easy kills (IN DOWNTIERS) lets change that to 10.0 problem solved, it doesn’t change a thing.

If you’re playing 8.7 it might seem like a really good thing to see it go to 10.0 right? but would it really matter? You’d still be facing the T2 late, the T2 early, the F-6C, the J35a, and countless mig21’s. it literally doesn’t change a thing other than now the hunter f6 gets stomped as soon as it gets to see 11.0

Imagine playing the hunter f6 and facing mig21bis. It’s hilarious that it’s even considered.

British RB Ground BR’s:

- Churchill VII & Crocodile: 4.7 up to 5.0. It’s sad to say, but I agree with this, M61 was a massive jump in performance. Even though the penetration is only like 2mm better APHE means you can now cupola snipe and even previously “bad shots” will kill the enemy. The biggest issue is the Churchill VII no longer having a line up, now players will be forced to drag up their 4.7 line up or drag the Churchill to 5.3.

I dont.

British RB Ground BR’s:

- Comet: 5.3 down to 5.0. It’s really a shadow of its former self. The A30 Challenger is a better vehicle in almost everyway. Just compare the Comet to the VK 3002 (M). This would also give the Churchill VII a line up.

British RB Ground BR’s:

- AC IV: 5.3 down to 5.0. It’s just a slightly better Firefly. Again, just compare it to the VK 3002 (M). This would also give the Churchill VII a line up.

British RB Ground BR’s:

- Skink: 5.3 down to 5.0. Just like the Crusader AA Mk. II really don’t understand why it keeps going up. Again, just compare it to the Wirbelwind, you still have less firepower and penetration but now have the double the guns of the Crusader AA Mk. II, and the same amount of guns as the Whirbelwind. Is that really worth a BR increase of 1.3 currently (4.0 to 5.3)? This would give the Churchill VII a line up.

Skink is practically immune to all CAS strafing aside from bombs though, I’d keep it at 5.3.

Every Rank 6 and 7 Helicopters: Rework their Arcade BR to match ground vehicle AB 12.7

Why did every heli’s in arcade BR Rating ends at 11.0 but for ground vehicles did extended to 12.7??? Was it because you guys don’t want to introduce new BR bracket for Heli PvE or what? Those FnF helicopters are super overkill for the opponents they’re having on Heli PvE for grinding purposes after unlocking IR JAGM and CM-502KG, often being a pathetic vulture robbing every single ground AI spawn and didn’t left behind for everyone else.

Cool, stats don’t lie. Clearly 42.3% on the best vehicle is doing “fine”. Gaijin balance off winrates.

British RB Ground BR’s:

- Tortoise: 6.7 down to 6.3. Just compare it to the T28, very similar vehicles except the Tortoise is covered in weakspots, lacks APHE, and just as slow. Fix the armour, add the missing APDS, and the other minor reports missing engine wall and armoured bins. If all of these are done it won’t need to go down.

It’s not just player performance that is being taken into account though. The vehicle’s own performance sets the bottom line.

Tort is rather iffy but I suppose 6.3 wouldn’t really make it any more useful so I suppose it’s fine.

British RB Ground BR’s:

- Centurion Mk 3: 7.7 down to 7.3. It’s overshadowed by the Centurion 5/1, “Action X”, Caernarvon, and Conqueror. There’s no reason to take it over these vehicles. Just compare it to the FV4202 and it’s actually quite similar.

Seems strange that the 20-Pdr Centurions now have a slower reload than the 90mm.

British RB Ground BR’s:

- Falcon: 8.3 down to 7.7. It’s terrible compared to the Chieftain Marksman. Worse firepower, worse radar, worse armour, and it’s not even more mobile. The only thing it has over the Marksman is its smaller size. After removing the APDS it’s dropped massively in win rate and KD. It’s time.

British RB Ground BR’s:

- Vijayanta: 8.3 down to 8.0. This thing really is just a worse Vickers MBT Mk 1. Without the LRF there’s no reason for a slower vehicle to be 0.3 higher than the TT counterpart even with the HEATFS.

Doesn’t its APHE still shred tanks like Gepard’s?

Vehicle: Su-30MK2 AMV (USSR), Su-30MKK (China)
Gamemode: Air Simulator
BR Change: 13.3 → 13.7
Reason: Despite having more Missiles and a HMCS contrary to western Equivalents on its BR (F-16A ADF) it sits on a lower BR.

It’s basically a Wirbelwind with worse guns, but shot way up in BR for having proper armor. That armor certainly counts for something, but not to the extent that it deserves the current BR.

Its only real downside is that it has near 0 chance against tanks but against planes it’s practically immune unless bombed. Most people just aren’t used to the rather low velocity 20s on it though.
