Planned Battle Rating changes for January 2024 — Leave your feedback!

[magazine2]

Welcome to our Battle Rating change proposals for the month of January.

We’ve got several Battle Rating changes for aircraft, helicopters, ground vehicles and naval vessels.

A summary of some key changes:

Along with these changes, we’re planning to increase the max Battle Rating for Aviation to 12.7, which is going to affect some near top vehicles, which are now going to a higher Battle Rating.

Let’s note two vehicles, the Type 81 (C) and AGS. The Type 81 (C) will be increased from 10.0 to 11.0 Battle Rating. This is because at the moment, in terms of effectiveness, this vehicle is the undisputed leader amongst all air defense systems and effectively fights against aircraft both at a Battle Rating of 10.0 and at 11.0 and higher. As the AGS is going up from 10.3 to 11.0, this tank will be given the M833 shell.

Since we’re increasing the max Battle Rating for Aircraft, some Battle Rating brackets and their rotation are being revised for Air Simulator Battles. In some rotation options, the number of brackets will be increased to 10.

We’re going to be carefully reading your feedback on the planned Battle Rating changes, so please feel free to share your thoughts and any suggestions that you may have for them.

If you see any comments that you agree with, make sure to upvote it so that we can get an idea. Thanks everyone!

Okay....

[Canadian Guitar]

Moving the French up to 8.0 is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ insane.

Also RIP to the T20.


Maybe instead of sliding everything back and forth constantly, make the maximum for ground higher, so there's some actual breathing room for various BR brackets?

So... There won't be any new AA for Great-Britain. So, from 5.3 to 8.3 there won't be any new AA available. BUT! there will be 3 AA at 8.3!? The Falcon doesn't even have a radar, and it will be at 8.3?

Doesn't make sense to me. I fail to understand the reason to raise the BR of the Falcon if there isn't any advantage to it. Why have 3 AA in 8.3, mostly when one of them doesn't even have a radar. Again, i don't understand the reason. I'm in 7.7 and I've been stuck with the skink for 5 months now because there isn't anything to replace it.

[Jaes]

Geez, there was already no real reason to run the T20 at 6.0, it's be even more worthless at 6.3. This poor thing keeps getting done dirty.

[FATE]

so you keep increase the br that makes those vehicle useless without actually decompress all the way through top tier?

there is no reason for it when the chieftain marksman and ZA-35 exist at 8.3. The falcon is literally just a slow, radarless AA that has to contend subsonic jets. Its much better against tanks than it is planes, which is the only reason it probably is getting moved up.

There is actually no reason to take the falcon anymore, if you want to use AA against tanks, just get the ZA-35 and drive-by everything.

Opinion about anounced br change?

Decompression is a W even thos it will make some 11.3 a little more borring

But france is getting snailed again thos but whatever their the best player in the game

[Illusionyary]

Some good, some garbage.

As usual Japan gets hit with BR raises whilst US planes become criminally undertiered because people don't know how to energy fight. 1.7 planes are gonna enjoy fighting the newly 2.7 A-36 with its 10x 50cals.

I laughed when I saw they were moving all the P-51Ds except the D-30 down to 4.0. I'll do my part to raise them again by viciously seal clubbing.

[CaptainSpacetime]

T20 to 6.3?? hahahahahahaha

Jumbo 76 going to be 7.0 soon.

Gaijin rolling DND dice to decide vehicle BR

[Akagi]

Weird, to say the least.

There's obviously the classic "let's lower US props cause they are so bad while raising the Japanese cause turnfighting = OP"

Sagitario at 9.3 will be so much fun to face even more R60s and Aim-9s

F-5E is honestly good choice, now they only need to move up the premium one (as this would ever happen lol)

Bombers getting lowered in br is good, but won't really help too much against loosing the tail with a thanos snap

Decompression at top tier was needed so I like that change, but I find it weird how the Mig-29G stays the same.

*looks at ground*

Oh yeah, it's not a br change update without half of France going up in br for no reason.

Hey Gaijin, you sure that the AMX-13 FL10 belongs at 4.3? That's surely a typo, it should have gone up to 5.3 alongside the 1951 EBR (note the sarcasm)

[Mephisto]

why isn't the Renown going down to 6.7? - it's brutally over-br'ed

[ErickaUnlimited]

The French lineups going to 8.0 confuse me greatly, but the T20 going to 6.3 is absolutely ridiculous.

[30 лет :D]

nothing new
yet another EBR rise
10.0 spaa japanese moved to 11.0 because reasons lol
yet another rise of AMXs
won't be surprised if one day we'll see amx30 brenus on 10.3 without stab fighting leo 2a6 and t80
