Planned Battle Rating Changes (August 2026)

Since I bought a premium aircraft a few years ago (Thach’s) at its stated battle rating, and now you’re changing the battle rating, can I get a refund please?

I agree with this one, devs please consider.

Just make M109G and M109A1 have the same BRs, they literally have the same velocity but at different BRs for whatever reason. M109G used to have the same low velocity as M109 hence the lower BR than M109A1 but then they buffed its velocity about a month after its addition without increasing its BR.

just the 90% of the br changes are DELULU and totally wrong…
instead of hunting the churchills … and the zeros…
JUST do better job…
the majority of the br changes are bad for the overall health of the game… why ?
that changes line ups… and instead of fixing something… make it worst…
i am honestly curious DO YOU PLAY YOUR GAME??? DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT ARE YOU DO ??? i think you dont play and you dont understand anything… of what are you do…
you do a basic stats check… BUT still the KV1B and KV1E are at 4.3 AND NOT AT 5.0… and thats the intresting thing… and the KV1 ZIS-5 STILL IS AT 4.7 and NOT AT 5.3…
spits with the 7.3 guns…get on 3.3 ?! why ? on the ground???
zeros get higher and higher… and especially the TURD zero… the A6M6 that is too fat to turn…
the MB326 the free one gets at 7.7 and the premium dont even reach 7.3 why?
AH-1 is not on the list to get at 5.7??? a slow as hell airplane… and the same model as the AD2… that got 5.3??? cause carries zunis? the same time the IA58… sits at 4.7 instead the 5.7 or at least 6.0??? what…
a more modern agile and over powered airplane sits at low brs and nuke everyone???
MB157 on ground gets higher? why? it has any bombs? or something?
the tigers 2 and the IS 2 … why they have to play against the weak 5.7 Jumbos??? is good call? that?
do you believe you balance something here?
having a sherman with a 75 gun at the same br bracket with those tanks… ? !
and thats how you ruin the 5.0 and 5.3 … by lowering tigers 2 … and IS2…who had that amazing idea?
and why you JUST NOT LOWER at 0.7 from 1.0 the BR DIFFERENCE so the tiger 2 and is 2 dont battered by the heat shells??? is the question …
and at the same time… the T26E5 gets on 7.0… so this will be the one that will face NOW ON the 8.0 tanks…honestly what is the idea? what is the idea in a logical base and not … by the DATA … you get cause you have no clue … cause you dont play the game to see how sad is now days… how many people play 1 tank and leave… at 4.0 -5.0-6.0-7.0 and guess what those people are your data… amazing?
that is the worst BR changes EVER someone can do… cause … you are in thin ice and you have lost it …
you try to do something … extreme here.
spits gets higher br on ground??! are really that good? no … free kills most of the time if 2 250LB bombs get them higher… REMOVE THOSE the airplane never needed …
if you add something to make the game better and the next day you destroy it by make it higher br … JUST DONT DO IT… is better…
forshadow…
i see if those things come to live servers… that will roll back the 70% of them. at least… in the previous status… in 2-3 weeks… time frame.
no thought … make the game worst. gaijin thanks… for that… instead to look the problems and solve it you play br changes… for no real reason.
some airplanes ok fine…
why are you play the br changes… instead to focus on make the game more playable… i dont understand. please

The Ariete being my most played vehicle of all time, and my personal favorite, no, no it doesn’t. 9.3 is perfectly fine for it.

It’s only counters are the magic 1 / SRAAM carriers, of which the Mirage IIIC @ 10.0 is the only real viable frame that can actually employ them well against this plane.

is a delulu br changes mate what ever you say… they dont play the game. they see data.

Give the Leopard 2a4 the DM33 shell (please). It’s incredibly difficult to play with it now, especially against the Soviet T-72 and T-80. The Leopard is forced to target a small weak spot in the T-80’s frontal armor or the barrel, while the T-80 can easily shoot anywhere in the hull and knock out the horizontal drive and everything else. The barrel doesn’t always break and the damage is sometimes is very weak. It’s unbalanced. I understand that the DM33 won’t penetrate their hulls, but at least it will deal more consistent damage.

I think you might need to edit this, but I do agree that the majority of these changes are pretty bad.

U shoud know, there are some tanks with weak gun still on 6.7BR, like normal M26,T4485.
If these tanks want pen Tiger II H turret, the only way is APCR.
Not only TigerIIH should be increased BR, but also the T34 should…
The issue of 6.7BR has persisted for several years.
Reducing a few vehicles BR won’t solve the problem.
Now BR decompression is absolutely necessary.

F-14A IRIAF to 13.7 is ludicrous and only makes sense if given R-73s. AIM-9P for an IR missile at 13.7 is genuinely insane.

Vehicle: MH-60L DAP
Gamemode: Ground Realistic
BR Change: 11.0 —> 10.7
Reason: The MH-60L DAP is actually a fairly weak helicopter in terms of its overall capabilities. It doesn’t have a rotating gun turret, it’s very heavy, and it’s extremely difficult to evade SAMs because it constantly loses lift and drops altitude. On top of that, the U.S. doesn’t even have a comparable helicopter to support it at 11.0 .

Seafire MK47
GRB:
6.0-5.3

What’s the main point of letting a FW190 with 8* RP3 move to 6.0???
If we have Tempest Mk V and Typhoon Mk Ib/L at 5.7/4.3??? Same 4*20mm with better performance

still wait for those smoke launchers on the 3.3 4.0(M4) 4.7 and 5.3 and 5.7 and even JUMBO shermans… for years … things that the real tanks had in fact… and used in WW2… but the developer saw them and modeled them from the museum perspective that they patched that … that’s the realism…
imagine even the M748 (the german sherman is the wrong model)… instead be the 3.3 sherman… is the 4.0 and is the only reason that the 4.0 M4A2 has smoke granades… they share the same model.

Vehicle: ADATS
Gamemode: Ground Realistic
BR Change: 11.7 —> 11.0
Reason: I propose lowering the Battle Rating of the ADATS, as it is one of the weakest SPAAs at its current BR.
Its ATGMs are very slow, the radar struggles to detect targets through trees, it cannot fire accurately while moving, its thermal sight is only first-generation, and its autocannon is relatively weak.

For the 75mm vehicles it does depend on when they’re suppose to be represented. Pre-November 1943 they wouldn’t have smoke launchers.

NOPE, let stingers stay around 9.3/9.7 depending on radar or not. Move down the stormer ad alongside the gepard where it belongs and you have a nice balance.

Compared to the Z-19 series, the Apache is equipped with an anti-aircraft machine gun and an additional AAM slot. Furthermore, the Hellfire’s destructive power (in TNT equivalents) is 3.2 times that of the AKD-9=BA-9. It can carry 16 of these without sacrificing an AAM (TY-90) slot. Furthermore, whilst the time to hit at the AKD-9=BA-9’s maximum range of 6 km is roughly equivalent, the Hellfire has an additional 2 km of range, bringing its total range to 8 km.
*Compared to the 10 km range of the Mokopa AGM on the Louivalc, for which 🐌 refused to lower the BR, this is merely a difference of 2 km. In other words, this 2 km advantage constitutes a valid reason for lowering the BR by 0.3, and also proves that the increase in BR resulting from carrying the same number of AKD-9=BA-9s as the Apache is inappropriate.

The manoeuvrability of the Z-19 series renders it virtually defenceless against ‘fire-and-forget’ systems launched by enemy ARH SAMs with a BR of 12.3–12.7. This is because these SAMs fly along a high-trajectory path whilst maintaining an average speed of 1,000 m/s. Furthermore, it is unacceptable to disregard this manoeuvrability—which is assessed as appropriate at a BR of 11.3—solely on the basis of the vague reasoning that ‘with this level of manoeuvrability, raising the BR would pose no problem whatsoever’, a justification that is now entirely unrelated to the addition of the AKD-9=BA-9.

Consequently, regardless of whether additional AKD-9=BA-9 are introduced, the BR of the Z-19/Z-19E should remain at 11.3 and should not be raised to 11.7.

Z-19/Z-19E
BR 11.7 → 11.3

Vehicle: Su-30MKK / Su-30MK2V
Gamemode: Air Realistic
BR Change: 13.3 → 13.7
Reason: These aircraft and their kits exceed the capabilities of their contemporaries at 13.3 and severely dominate any aircraft at 13.0. Their loadouts are good enough to fight up to 14.7. Any statistical reason, be it winrate, average K/D, or otherwise, that merits their stay at 13.3 must be attributed to the average skill / top tier competency of the plane’s buyers, not to its actual characteristics, and a bayesian analysis of the plane’s performance when only considering experienced users against that of other planes around its BR would probably better serve as an indicator of what BR it should be.

Seafire F Mk XVII
GRB 5.7-5.3
Add RP3
Also, another issue: why just 1*500lb and then need 5.7? Just because some ACE players use that and then need to raise 5.7???
And also, where is the report approval? Community Bug Reporting System

R2Y2:
GRB: 8.0-7.3

Suppose IL28 and B57 is already 7.0/7.3
Why can R2Y2 still be 8.0? Did Gaijin already forget what they have? Or still efficiency because there is no more data they can recalculate? How is R2Y2 better than MB326K or Meteors in GRB???
