Planned Battle Rating Changes (August 2026)

The LF Mk9 has only moved up this update in GRB, not ARB.

sometimes if you really love something you gotta let it go (im joking.) gaijin said that they wouldnt give it alarm due to its br and knowing them that might also include air for whaterver reason. yes its preferable if only the ground br gets changed

GRB only though, not ARB. ALARM literally cannot be used in ARB.

Though the BR increase to 11.7 doesnt change a thing because we only have 11.7 ground vehicles to use it with, which is why the requirement to keep it at 11.3 and deny ANY ARM is just stupid.

yeah exactly

No it does not sir, this thing is the literally definition of coughing baby. I would rather play my mk10 cent than that thing. Thermals are not everything and thing has some MAJOR problems.

TOW only Lynx, sweet

but shame for those who want to grind in Heli PvE, has been overran by FnF (because there’s no BR bracket separating them unlike Rank 5) and you’d be barely getting ground kills although Lynx is one of the fastest helis in the game, but yea meanwhile France have some variety with Gazelles

Vehicle: Leopard 1A5 (all)
Gamemode: Ground RB
BR Change: 9.0→9.3 (reverse the change)
Reason: I’m sure Gaijin moved them down because of their poor stats, but is Gaijin aware leopard’s poor stats are caused by this BR bracket filled with autocannon vehicles?
Because let me remind you how clogged the 8.0-9.7 range is: we have OF-40 Mk2 at 9.0, laser rangefinder, no thermals, mid mobility, DM23. The MTCA OF40 at 9.3, laser rangefinder, no thermals, awesome mobility, DM33. And we are bringing leo1a5s (laser rangefinder, thermals, good mobility, DM33) to 9.0?
The last thing we needed is a compression in this BR range. 8.0-9.7 needs a huge decompression, not a compression.

Ho 229 V3: 7.0 → 6.7

For real, as people get better its easy to see how the plane does not belong in 7.0 at all. To be honest, even 6.7 is probably a bit too much for it but better to go down one by one.

Vehicle: OF-40 Mk.2A
Gamemode: Ground RB
BR Change: 9.0→8.7
Reason: With the leopard 1A5 changing from 9.3 to 9.0, the OF-40 Mk.2A is worse in mobility, it doesn’t have thermals, doesn’t have DM33 (uses DM23), it does not deserve the same BR than leo1a5

Vehicle: Buccaneer S.2B
Gamemode: All
Change: Add AS.37s
Reason: With the Buc S.2B moving up to 10.7, it needs a reason for this increase, because whilst the AJ168s have become overall better on a singular basis, the nerfs have resulted in the lack of ability to ripple fire the missiles at multiple targets at once, as you can only really use MITL to engage targets. The missiles though are so slow, they are intercepted by everything, even roof mounted MGs.

AS.37s are simply AJ168s with a seeker that can only take out SAMs, greatly limiting the effectiveness of the Buc S2B against any other ground target. If performance is a concern, then they could be mitigated through SP cost, but the AJ168s though are already very high, so I don’t see any reason for the cost to be that much higher.

Yeah… that would suck to grind, but better than not having it at all I guess

Vehicle: Super AMX-30
Gamemode: Ground RB
BR Change: 9.3→9.0
Reason: With the change of Leopard 1A5, it’s safe to say the super AMX-30, which is comparable to the leo1a5, while being faster in mobility and worse in firepower and armor, should also go down in BR too.

I’m a big fan of the Olifant Mk.2 and the Chieftain Mk.10, but I don’t feel the Olifant has any major weaknesses.

I’m not just talking about JUK. There are two 12.0 Phantoms in British Tech Tree. ONE OF THEM can go down to 11.7 by staying exactly the way it is. The other one can get 9Ls.

I don’t really care/mind which of these treatments the JUK gets. It can either get 9Ls or go down to 11.7

My point was one of the TECH TREE Phantoms going down, to create variety within tech tree

Vehicle: Chi-Nu
Gamemode: Ground RB
BR Change: 3.3→3.0, or buff the japanese 75mm
Reason: The Chi-Nu is worse than a Panzer IV in every single way. It’s slower in mobility, it got a longer reload and a worse round, the armor is worse than a panzer IV, can get .50caled from the side. Before you can argue it’s also at 3.3 because the round has a better post-pen, which is true. But now with panzer IV going from 6 sec to 5 sec reload, Chi-Nu is just…
…well, it’s just bad. It’s worse in every conceivable way.

Vehicle : Falcon
Gamemode : Ground Realistic Battles
Change : 8.3 —> 7.7(Remove Radar)
Reason : Falcon’s historically inaccurate radar should be removed, and its BR should be lowered.
This would also fill the gap in SPAA units in the BR 5.3–8.3 range.

Yeah, kinda annoying the FGR2 is denied anything just because of concerns regarding BR changes, when there is literally an identical airframe at the same BR that can just not get said changes.

God i HOPE we get these. And on the harries as well so i can larp during the next nuclear escalation event. That is if the harrier got the arm variant and not just the asm one.

Yeah, would be good

With the MB326k going up AGAIN there will be basically no reason left to bring the c13. Please save my boy
