Trying to play the Spitfire XIVe (Belgia) and it’s constant Me 262 uptiers to 6.3.
For Air:
5.3 - 6.7
8.7 - 9.7
12.0 - 13.7
All need serious decompression through a higher total BR ceiling. At least 17.0, and that’s before 5th Gen.

The anti tank 262 being a lower rating now is extremely stupid and unfair

Dealing with ALL BRs and not just decompressing the higher BRs. I think we are talking more like 20.0 ish

If german mains didnt absolutely suck in their 7.7 aircraft because its got a low ROF nuke gun 5.7 would honestly be amazing. even with the jet trainer spam from the albatross and MB326B

even then i feel like it would feel a bit compressed at times. Ground can easily go that far too

It would be the bare minimum to achieve reasonable levels of balance for most aircraft. Full decompression would probably be something like:
1.0-7.0 +2
7.0-9.0 +2
9.0-12.0 +2
12.0-13.0 +1
13.0-14.0 +1
14.0-14.7 +1
So you would probably need something like and extra 9 BRs added to get true decompression with some quick and dirty mental reckoning. So that would put the max from 14.7 to 24 ish.
But that could be shaved in a few places to be more like 20-22 area and given gaijin cares more about queue times than actual gameplay… then it would probably be on the bottom end of that
(or they can just change MM from +/- 1.0 to +/- 0.7 and it does largely the same thing in most cases)
another 5 seconds of queue time is still faster than most games with matchmakers, even games bigger than WT take longer most the time, few minutes is normal.

Here’s something worse, 11.0 Russia ground. I lose 9/10 matches.
I dont think youve ever tried playing a low tier prop in ARB when not playing USSR or Germany have you?
Its nothing but undertiered jets and BI players
I have tried all brs. 9/10 loss rate in most matches
thats a bit of an exaggeration mate.
I can look at my inbox, arcade, realistic, doesn’t matter. Last 9 matches are defeats. Any br, any nation, defeat sweep.
thats a rough streak.
It’s not a streak, it is the cycle of playing in my experience. Lose 9, win 1, repeat.
Frankly, all vehicle classes in all game modes need the BR range completely doubled. Even your 17.0 suggestion is a mere drop in the bucket. Not saying its not a good idea, but its not nearly enough.
And its actually quite a decent fighter if you can aim well.
Also, having the ability to reliably 1-2 tap pillboxes with the aphe shell while reaching the battlefield very soon and not being bothered by anyone makes it an incredibly reliable grinder.
Howitzers is just 1 tap, you can rack a lot of points with just 50 shells
Valid, I just don’t want to throw out an arbitrary number without reasoning. 20.0+ IS appropriate but the counter argument is “Longer Queue Times”, which I find counter intuitive.
If the game is Healthy, player count will increase. If players can actually compete in a fair fight the game would easily top the charts bringing in more players AND provide financial opportunities to Gaijin. Financial opportunities that don’t have to be predatory. If the game is made more enjoyable the results would hold.
17.0 BR gets the conversation going and grounded for good input that puts the game and community first over pride. We don’t want to band aid fix this if we only have one shot to be heard. Also maybe uptiers need to be capped at +/-0.7BR vs. +/-1.0. I don’t care to fight with a wet napkin.
Squadrons of more than two people should also be restricted to realistic, that’s really hurting arcade battles in air. Not only is compression unbearable, uptiers are horrible and dealing with doom stacks out right makes specific BRs just unplayable and the wins feel absolutely dirty if you’re on the side of a doom stack.
We need an Operation Health for Christmas.
Everything being said, the updates over the last two years have been great when it comes to graphical, audio, new vehicles and map reworks. We’re also seeing much more communication from the Devs and Forum/Community Moderators has been very welcome.

Edit-
Which has been very welcome

You can just say 1.0-14.7, the entire gamemode is extremely compressed. We need 16.0 or 17.0.
