I have 10k games in Arcade and 800 in Realistic. I don’t know where you learned math but it’s pitiful.
I think enough to get an idea of how this business works. Besides I know the mm of the competition.
It could be fairer but they don’t care, all that’s left is to try to take advantage of the system and suffer it as little as possible.

Again, you don’t understand RB and the way certain vehicles are still fine in uptiers. Your “800” or similar tiny number is obviously not enough.
You need to actually discuss and not revert to personal attacks. I accept your acknowledgement of you being incorrect in your comments.
So many options in uptiers, so little an issue overall (worse of course in RB Air due to singular vehicle lineups depending on individual planes, compared to Ground).
Uptiers =/= doom and gloom. Just a poor excuse and poor mentality most the time.
Edit: my mistake, was in part conflating GF with AF situation. It is harsh for stock 7.0 props if you hit full uptiers as I used PvE to quickly spade before use, though that example was the Spit 24 and so now 6.7 anyway so mo more 8.0s.
Still, based on population and queuing MM is just random.
While this is true, whether some thing is in the same BR bracket as something else is not grounds to say it’s genuinely feasible to play against. The F-84B, for example, has no counterplay against the F-84G. The Thunderjet and Shooting Star both generally fall short of the MiG-15 in terms of sustained turn performance, climb rate, and TWR (and their real life performance reflected this - hell, one of the loading screens in-game memorializes the fact that even the later variant F-84s would generally be MiG fodder) - and that’s not to say they should be better, but in an ideal world, I should not be seeing MiG-15s every match because it’s simply not fun to meet something you can’t outclimb to BnZ, can’t out-turn because it turns better, and can’t energy fight against because it has the better TWR and maintains its energy better. The MiG-15 was not placed in its BR bracket because Gaijin critically evaluated how it would play against each other jet in the same BR (If Gaijin went ahead and picked BRs based on the plane, we wouldn’t have things like Zero syndrome) - it was placed there because it evened out player statistics for the MiG-15.
Maybe it’d be better with teamplay, but this is War Thunder. You will not be thatch weaving with your auto-assigned squadmate. You are alone unless you bring a friend and I don’t know anyone else willing to waste SL with me in such a match.
The BR system has failed to balance matches completely and make certain aircraft fun to play in air RB. Whether a system that does this is even possible for a game with such a large amount of aircraft, I don’t know, but at the moment 7.0 aircraft seem to suffer the most from the BR system’s failures.
Excellent post. Well stated.
