9.3 Is quite literally. Hell

That’s a mathematical impossibility. Even with homogeneous distribution, a system where vehicles of 4 classes differing in how “advanced” the are are matched together, 75% of the players will inevitably feel uptiered.

9.3 meets 10.3 => uptiered
9.7 meets 10.3 => uptiered
10.0 meets 10.3 => uptiered
10.3 meets everbody else => downtiered

Of course 9.7 will also meet 9.3 and 10.0, and 10.0 will meet 9.3 etc., but human psychology will sadly focus on the aspect that there’s someone “higher up” that is taking advantage of me.

The exact ratio of uptiers vs. downtiers will of course rarely be homogeneous, with the differences depending a lot on what BR’s are played in what frequency in your BR’s vicinity: Is you BR much less favored atm than the ones above, but still more favored than the ones below, the probability of getting uptiered are higher than being downtiered.

I did some analyses on this a while ago for a few months, and results showed that some BR’s indeed had higher frequencies of uptiers than would be expected if the distribution was homogeneous, but the difference was not vast. And it changed from month to month, based on what players played how often.

Is this mathematically possible? equal amount of uptier and downtier for everyone, at the expense of a slightly longer matchmaking

I don’t know what you are talking about, 9.3 is 9/10 times uptier. No perception or stories. Pencil and paper.

Indeed you can fight against 10.3 but they are 10.3 for a reason. Because they are BETTER.

The real question is: Are we, the players, to blame for the problem that the snail has created with the premiun? Has anyone stopped to think about it?

Always the excuse of skill… they are only 4 top tier …

if “this guy” = me, then you are wrong… I play Every BR and Every nation.

If it wasn’t bad before, with the introduction of the 292 with zero consideration for the balance the problem only gotten worse.

I have to admit that I also noticed the 9.3 “problem” the day before yesterday. In preparation for the Alpha Jet, I thought that 9.3 in the German tech tree looked pretty good for integrating the light bomber and wanted to get used to the slightly older devices again. I was actually a bit disillusioned about constantly playing 10.3 battles. Ironically, as a 10.3 I never felt like I had the pleasure of playing against 9.3. My method is currently simple. I also form a 9.0 deck and play that until the situation calms down a bit. Maybe this has already been resolved with the next update. At least for a while…
