Planned Battle Rating Changes for October 2024

[magazine2]

Hello everyone! Today, we’d like to introduce you to another round of planned Battle Rating Changes.

We’ve planned a number of changes to the current Battle Ratings for ground vehicles, aircraft, and naval vehicles. Among other changes, we’re also increasing the maximum Battle Rating of ground vehicles to 12.0.

Click here to see the table of planned changes: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/1/d/e/2PACX-1vTH5Aj3PUo9FfpfTwt2d-cv7pejjf4cQSttcDTP83XUNIr9283Cn4OEtbJ0579LAokhEglvalVUUbDB/pubhtml

In order to properly and efficiently take on board your feedback, we’ll consider one vehicle change / request per comment in order to keep the flow of feedback clear for everyone and allow for better collaboration and comprehension of requests.

Note: Please don’t make lists — comments that contain more than one suggestion will not be considered. If you’d like to suggest more, please use the one-comment-one vehicle rule using the below template. You can leave more than one comment in this thread, there’s no limit to this.

Here’s an example template (per comment):
Mode, vehicle name. 8.0 > 8.3. Reasoning.

If you’d like to write more proposals and participate more actively in proposing changes, make sure to invite your friends and like proposals from other players that you agree with!

We’ll be reading your feedback on the planned Battle Rating changes, so please share your thoughts and suggestions! Make sure to read comments from other players and click on the ‘like’ button on suggestions that you think are most important so that we can see them.

decompression only, not many real br changes (GRB).
the 2s38 and the obj 292 should go up another o.3

Please elaborate as to why the 2S38 and Object 292 should go up by 0.3 (we need these details to write feedback).

Chaparral at 9.0!?

Welp, here goes the Meteor and similar planes now facing 16g missiles.
For reference, the Toyota has worse missiles at 9.3, and the ozelot is 9.7.

Same goes for the M163, at 7.3. Excuse me? 7.7 was already low, even if it's not good against mach jets, there's no reason why a ww2 Ki84 or a spitfire should be seeing a gatling gun....

[French Cat]

Ok bro… M26 still not being moved down… IPM1 being moving up with the M1A1 is kinda weird… AH-64D being moved up when it’s not as good as the KA-52. F-14B being moved up to 13.0 is fine. Also F-16ADF being moved down is AWESOME!!!!! YAY!!!!!

[Canadian Guitar]

SKR 1/7 Should go up to 4.7. It face smashes everything at it's BR, regardless of vehicle type.

[Cha Cha Real Rough]

They should move the falcon back to 8.0, or remove its APDS belt and make it 7.7 or 7.3

The falcon is basically not an AA at this point and its more like a strange TD, its a radarless SPAA at a BR where britain has 2 other SPAA (both 8.3) that have radar and good autocannons.

Yeah theres not much point to bring a falcon out as an AA vehicle if the chieftain marksman and the ZA-35 exist.

Air RB USA F-4E 11.3 >11.0 Why? Because the japanese ones are getting moved down. It has no PD radar and the 1st gen agile eagle slats don't help at all since it's still a brick. It's literaly the same plane which has 10-15% better maneuvrability and the same missiles as F-4EJ models.

[PlayingSouls]

Air RB F-14B should recieve aim9ms and buff to the aim-54c and stay at 13.0 or go back down to 12.7. Aim 54C without its real stats is an easy missile to fight even in F-4J which I usually fly. It's the spam of F-14s that is the prblem. and the only spammed one is the Iriaf. Never had trouble figthing 2-3 F-14s per team. It should be at the same br as F-14A Iriaf because the fakours are just too ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ good for that br. F-14B has better engines and avionics. F-14A iriaf has better ARH missiles. it cancels out. Or as I said give it aim-9m and real stats of Aim-54C and keep it at 13.0 because the F-14B has no right to fight aim-120s and micas with aim9l and a nerfed aim-54C.

[PlayingSouls]

Air RB J32B lansen. 9.3 > 9.0. 9.3 is already a hellhole because of f8u2 and the a-10 early spam and now with f-4c being moved down there are going to be even more planes which will suck it into 9.3-10.3 matches (full uptiers). no flares. 4 aim9bs. Subsonic. Turns poorly. The guns are a nightmare to conserve ammo with and you run out instantly as it requires god tier aim.

[PlayingSouls]

Air RB F8U-2 10.0>10.3 (even 10.7 since f8e isn't that much better if at all). Almost mach 2 capable mach 1 at ground level. carries 4 18g Deleters called aim9D which are REALLY REALLY GOOD. This plane was busted before the BR changes this year. but now it's a seal clubber like no other. It's an actual joke. And after wing rip changes it's now destroying anything which it comes across at 10.0-9.0

[PlayingSouls]

Other than what I mentioned... The changes are surprisingly... good? Like... I didn't expect for gaijin to get some common sense on some of the aircraft brs. And the things I proposed are from personal experience and only about the aircrafts which I play.

[PlayingSouls]

Oh actually Air rb F-14A. 12.7 back to 12.3 Is not that big of a problem to deal with because of lacking countermeasures and radar. It should absolutely stay where it is because no way it's on par with Iriaf version with fakour 90s.

the way I see it:
-F-14A stays at 12.3 because many jets just got moved down and many jets from higher br got lowered and will suck it into it's matchmaking.
-F-14A Iriaf 12.7 No way it's the same br as F-14a with missiles that good.
-F-14B 12.7 like it is now or 13.0 with changes I proposed above.

this past event has shown me that unless you fix the issues with the SKR-1 and 7, it does not need to be anywhere near 3.3. Something that can look at a destroyer and nearly if not completely kill it in seconds while it tanks more shots than it should and disappears quicker as if it were a smaller vehicle does not need to be going up against ww1 ships.

Constantly seeing these things (both friendly and hostile) has made Naval so unfun. My friends and I had a lot of fun in coastal up until we hit the wave of SKR's gatekeeping naval, and fair amount of these SKR players were just doing the event to get the vehicle and hated naval.

[quetz]

Lowering reload time instead of fixing the tanks? Seriously?

[Deacon Blues]

What are you doing to the Fox's APDS round? Why is it not effecting the Warrior too?

Are you nerfing the Fox arbitrarily as a reaction to the vocal minority of skill issue players that are mad about it?
