What is the chance of anyone in a 6.7-12.0 getting any score in matches with the new 13.0s?
Can the 6.7-13.0 matchmaker cope with a large jump to players putting many 13.0s in the queue?
Could they handle it better?
My only answer is to my third point; yes.
The other two points are food for thought.
The fact that they haven’t updated the levels for this mode is ridiculous, but 13.0 isn’t much different than 12.0 when it comes to that disparity, why change it now (and why in the worst possible way)?

That’s exactly what I thought, they probably didn’t update the matchmakers to include 13.0
Good question, we can only guess. But obviously this 13.0 addition has been different from those before.
I could hold my own due to score variances related to BRs in 6.7-7.7s when the 29s and 16s were added.
So we wonder what is different with this new release.
And yes, the huge MM for the last bracket could do with a review. Of course waiting 10+ minutes for a bad team who fail on the lower brackets might be hinting at what might happen.
Only Gaijin staff will know of course. Either a bug/cockup or some unexplained reason (so hopefully a mod/dev notices your post and we find out why).
Probably linked to this:
Seems to be people in 13.0s, but not sure as people always omit important information 😝
Edit: And this:
This is weird though, because I absolutely saw F-16Cs with AMRAAMs on patch day (when air assault wasn’t giving rewards)
I responded to that post - The day (after) of the patch I played my F-16C and almost unlocked my AIM-120s (nearly 24,000 RP) - I didn’t play a second game and the next day I was one of the ones waiting (and never getting to play) in the queue. I have not yet seen 13.0 greyed out so I’ll have to check back after work.
No coincidence they made the 13.0 modification grind absolutely awful, and then banned from AAA

Do you think we could get an official explanation of the reasoning behind this change? a change of this magnitude that wasn’t listed in the changelog and breaks with established precedent is somewhat inconvenient.

The answer is obvious. They made the stock grind impossible in PVP and banned the planes from PVE so people will have to spend GE.
They took the time to do this after the update but they left 6.7 playing with 12.7. I mean come on guys do better!
Nothing has been said or done with this mode in years at this point. It’s a symptom of the current business model sadly. SaD update being a prime example. Large amounts of premium vics, and large amounts of copy-paste to focus on attracting new players to buy top tier premiums with no focus what so ever on long term player retention. Things like Assault modes are left for their code to rot.
Man these game devs shafted stock/not 100% meta planes so much in the last update that people are literally playing pve rather than trying to unlock things in random battles 😭😭😭😭
Good luck getting a response, I have tried a multitude of times in regards to the entirety of the lack of attention to the assault arcade battle modes, and frankly unless a violation is made, they most likely will not respond let alone give us transparent feedback from the dev. team.
In terms of the changes they are making, despite their ideals about trying to be better at communication and making changes without even so much as a note in the changelogs, it is still happening.
As others have mentioned, the intent behind their actions is derived towards garnering more purchases rather than providing a better experience for those that dedicate their time within the game. I have seen countless new player accounts within around 1-20 lvls that have handfuls of premium/pack vehicles.
When I was checking out bug reports for this issue it Seems there’s a moderator who is closing some of the reports about this intentionally. QA_SHADbI4 #58751500 is their ID. Any Ideas on how to report an Employee who’s actions are going result in creating a bad blood situation like what happened around summer last year?
Creating bad blood is in their job description I think, based on what I’ve seen.
Yes the moderators on the bug report forums are incompetent and this is far from the first time they have shown it.
Hey @Smin1080p care to confirm? Is it intentional on Gaijin’s part that the grind should be made even worse, or are these moderators lying to us?
This is indeed a very bad decision, I don’t get why ground doesn’t have limit but Air does.
I just want to play my plane in a chill way, being stock is boring and suffering. Let us have fun…
