Planned Battle Rating Changes (January 2026)
Posté : ven. 23 janv. 2026 18:25

Hey there everyone! Very soon, we’ll be introducing a new top-tier Battle Rating for aircraft, 14.7! Some time after this update, we’re planning a number of other changes, which we’re letting you know about today.
In the near future, we’ll be introducing the new Rank IX for aircraft, which will contain some of the current top-tier vehicles, as they will move. Some rank VIII aircraft will be grouped together as well. Other related changes are also planned too, for example some early Tornado aircraft will be moved to rank VII.
We’d like to mention separately the changes that will affect Chinese aircraft. With the introduction of rank IX, we plan to review the placement of top-tier aircraft, which are currently unevenly distributed between the branches in the research tree.
