Hey everyone. We’re continuing to move along with the War Thunder Roadmap presented at the beginning of this year. In today’s news, we’ll be talking about the separation of Battle Ratings for different modes.
We planned to introduce this one along with the second major update of 2024, but we were able to finish it earlier, and today we’re pleased to present it to you.
We are planning to implement this change soon.
How it works

The separation of Battle Ratings for different modes works as simple as this: the Battle Rating for a vehicle is different in Aircraft Battles and Ground or Naval Battles, something not seen before in the game.
Apart from a few exceptions, Battle Ratings for aircraft are set based on their performance in Aircraft battles, not Ground or Naval Battles. This is why there are more changes to Battle Ratings in Ground Battles than there are in Aircraft Battles with the release of this feature.
We’d like to make an important note that this is the only first change to Battle Ratings for this feature, at the moment we’ve only included changes to top tier aircraft. For aircraft of the earlier ranks, we’re planning to change their Battle Ratings if needed in one of the planned Battle Ratings segments that we do. Overall we’ll be carefully monitoring changes in the performance of various vehicles.
We’ve prepared a handy table for you so that you can see the changes that are going to be made to the Battle Ratings of some vehicles.

Postponement news

As of now, we’re currently working on Roadmap features for the second major update, but we’d like to talk about some features that have been delayed and will not be included this major update. We’ve developed separate Battle Ratings sooner than expected, however some features need some more time to be finalized.
The main one is the Research Bonuses for new nations Roadmap feature which we are delaying until after the second major update. This has been explained thoroughly in this post, but in essence our programmers need more time to create this feature, and it’s at the highest priority of the lead game designers. We anticipate it sometime after the second major update in one smaller update or an It’s Fixed update and we apologize that this has been delayed again.
We’re also postponing public squads and mechanics for searching for a squad based on the interests of players in-game. This one also needs more time from our designers and programmers and will come out in the future.
Our Community Managers have posted an article on the forum with insights regarding postponements, design mockups and other information regarding the Roadmap, second major update, vehicle events, bug reports and other things we’re working on. If you’ve not seen it yet, be sure to check it out in the link below!

Comments will be premoderatedI hope you will include the Su-25s as well above 10.7 BR, they sit too low in BR for Ground RB and they are the scourge of most low tier anti-air systems!!!!
Why doesn't this include any pistol engine aircraft?
I know that this is bit out of scope but it would actually be also very great if certain ammo or weapons determined BR of vehicle/jet. Also why not the increase the BR of tanks up to 12.0? Other than that these changes seems to be promising.
It's been a whole year since last May, where is the research bonus?
G'day this is fantastic news but I will say I'd really like to see a full list for aircraft & if not a spreadsheet not just for AF/GF but those for NF as well for the BR changes for some antishipping aircraft being higher or lower. Hmm, Looking at these current changes the Q-5L gets quite the increase in GF even without CM but I feel it should be at least 9.0 over 9.3 in AF for the reason of not having CM *yet* nor AAM's.
They forgot Vautour IIB, and those F-84f in VI rank
a10 late vs pansir :C
Sounds good
A10 on 10.7? Why gaijin so loves to destroy players' lineups? But of course, we now have a choice, to just buy a premium A10 on 10.3... and also Su 25SM3, 11.7 in ARB... I just don't understand you. Why? Maybe I had high expectations for these changes? In the end, I regret that I was so excited about BR changes.
Alpha Jet (A and E) going up in BR, but the SAAB105G which sits on 8.3 with better bombs and ballistic computer? Someone can tell me why?
