We continue to monitor the Battle Ratings of vehicles and their competitive capabilities. Below you will find a list of the changes we want to make in January 2023.

Aircraft rank changes

In the “Apex Predators” update, we added several new aircraft of rank VIII and as announced subsequently, we will be moving some rank VII aircraft to rank VIII: F-14A, MiG-23MLA, MiG-23MLD, MiG-27K, Harrier GR.7 and Mirage 2000C-S5. We also will be moving the F-104S from rank VI to rank VII. The aircraft transfer will take place with the release of the planned BR changes.

The conditions for opening new aircraft ranks will also be adjusted to comply with the general rule for opening new ranks.

Germany - for opening of rank VII aircraft, the number of required aircraft at rank VI has been adjusted from 3 to 4.


Italy - for opening of rank V aircraft, the number of required aircraft at rank IV has been adjusted from 5 to 6. For opening rank VIII aircraft, the number of required aircraft at rank VII has been adjusted to 2.


Sweden - for opening of rank III aircraft, the number of required aircraft at rank II has been adjusted from 4 to 6. For opening rank V aircraft, the number of required aircraft at rank IV has been adjusted from 5 to 6. For opening rank VII aircraft, the number of required aircraft at rank VI has been adjusted from 3 to 4.

If you think we should make some additional changes or do not agree with listed changes, please support your suggestions with arguments!

Thanks for you feedback everyone. We have now passed all comments onto the developers for them to check out

We will have some more news next week.

Feedback Changes:

Dear players!

Based on your feedback and a further review we would like to announce the following changes:

- Ground Forces Battle Ratings will be expanded to 11.3. You can find details of the vehciles that have changed in the updated table and here.

- The Tornado GR.1, IDS ASSTA.1 and IDS 1995 will remain at their current BR and not be increased to 11.7 this update.

- Further based on your feedback, we have introduced other changes such as the F-4F, SU-17M2 and J35D being reduced in BR and the Su-11 being increased in BR.

These are among other such changes, so be sure to check the tables for the full list of chnages being introduced later this week.

Thank you as always for your feedback!

Based on collected feedback regarding ground vehicles, we have decided to make additional changes that consist of transferring some of the top and pre-top ranked vehicles to a higher level. This change does not apply to all top ranked vehicles. Based on the results of the change in performance efficiency, further adjustments to the BR (increase or decrease) will be carried out for units affected by the change and also for units that also haven’t changed rating at that time.

It has also been decided to abandon some of the points regarding the reduction of BR in AB for vehicles with HEAT shells with high penetration at their rank. Except for the Ikv 103 for which the high penetration of the HEAT shell at a relatively high rate of fire for similar guns is compensated with poor ballistics, insufficient protection and mobility. The alternative to changing the rate of fire of the Type 69-II G was to increase its BR to 8.7, the current efficiency of the unit is much higher than the efficiency of similar vehicles at the same rank (for example it exceeds the efficiency of the Swedish Strv 121). The BR of the Type 69-II G decreased in May from 8.7 to 8.3 and the return of the old BR is currently not advisable as the decrease of fire rate will allow this vehicle to remain at its current BR.
