We have already gathered feedback related to the changes here. We have answered for some most often asked questions related to it here. This time we will not collect suggestions related to changes. If you want to suggest some changes in BR, please be patience and wait for another Planned BR changes topic. You can still leave feedback here (and you are welcome to!) related to current changes, but suggestions related to future changes will not be gathered. Thank you for understanding!

If you want to discuss specific changes and/or vehicles, please do it in Machinery of War Discussion, in subsection corresponding to vehicle you want to discuss (most probably in topic already created for that specific vehicle). Thanks!

Battle Rating changes have been implemented (open the full table).

We raise the BR bar to 11.3 for the extremely effective MiG-23MLD and F-4EJ Kai aircraft to avoid or reduce the possibility of encountering aircraft of the lower BRs.

We also are considering a BR rise to 11.3 for certain combat helicopters, such as the Ka-52, Mi-28NM, and EC-665 Tiger UHT to exclude them from BR 10.0 battles.

In this digest we would like to tell you about our continuing work on improvements and fixes in the game. You can find information about all updates that have been released in War Thunder on the website special section.

Optimizing respawn zones

You have asked about this improvement in the comments to one of the previous digests when you reported more frequent collisions in the respawns. Embrace the improved respawn mechanics in tank battles!

Now allies who joined a little later or were delayed in selecting a vehicle will appear slightly behind those who clicked the “Battle” button in the respawn window earlier. In this way players will be less in the way of each other.

Rested and that's enough

Aircraft

A-4E Early — c*ckpit view on the seeker camera and the sight camera have been changed from colour to monochrome.

You used the camo when it was for free (had no requirements to unlock).

After we add requirements (GE or/and mission requirements) it become unavailable for you.

That's the whole story.

Thank you for your participation in the discussion of the upcoming BR changes. We have already updated the spreadsheet based on it. Here we go with explanations of some of the changes.

Leopard 2PL

The practice of the adding new shells has raised questions from many of you about the reduction in armour effectiveness at top ranks.

Taking into account your concerns about the Leopard, we have abandoned the announced addition of the DM53 shell and the possible BR increase (up to 11.0) of the vehicle. The vehicle will remain at BR 10.7 and will not receive that shell in this BR change.

Chi-Nu II

There is a big discussion around this vehicle. You recommended leaving it at the current BR.

However, this tank, placed at BR 4.0 has an efficiency that exceeds the efficiency of similar vehicles from other nations at the same rank. Taking into account your feedback as well as our own observations the fire rate wil...

A new modification of the best British tank - the Challenger 2 with explosive reactive armour blocks along the sides of the hull - a cool addition to Britain's top setup!

Good defense of the turret


Mediocre dynamics

History

A modification of the British Challenger 2 main battle tank with Dorchester Level 2 armour set has been used by the British Army in the operation in Iraq since 2002. At the end of 2004, these tanks were additionally equipped with combined turret side shields, as well as grilles covering rear parts of the hull and turret for protection against shape-charged anti-tank weapons - this configuration received the designati...

Dunno from where you too that "actively promoting" part.

1st - he was not a moderator, when he posted it.

2nd - it was discussion related to the modification, and he simply tired to help someone, answering simple question.

How you manage to find it "promoting" is beyond me.

We continue to monitor the Battle Ratings of vehicles and their competitive capabilities. In the next update of Battle Ratings, we will raise the BR bar to 11.3 for the extremely effective MiG-23MLD and F-4J Kai aircraft to avoid or reduce the possibility of encountering aircraft of the lower BRs.

We also are considering a BR rise to 11.3 for certain combat helicopters, such as the Ka-52, Mi-28NM, and AH Mk.1 Apache to exclude them from BR 10.0 battles.

On November 25th, 1940, the British de Havilland Mosquito multirole combat aircraft made its first flight.
