I think a probably controversial solution that I would want in the game is decreasing the up-tier/down tier range from 1 Br, to 0.5 Br. I understand this could cause some issues with
matchmaking, as well as certain brs would have to be added or re-numbered, but I feel it would be worth it in the end. 6.7s wouldn’t be able to see as many cold war vehicles and props wouldn’t see as many jets. also vehicles would be facing vehicles more in line with their performance. things like leopard 1s wouldn’t be constantly facing vehicles with darts and stabilizers (for an example). this would help Br ranges that have some large balancing issues (6.7-8.0). I’m exited to see what people think about this and if there is anyone who might like this idea.
Well, as MANY have clamored for changing the +/- 1.0 BR spread for matches to 0.7 you run into the exact same problem . . . the BR’s don’t work that way. There simply isn’t anything 0.5 BR away from anything else, so there is no way to make it work without changing the BR of every single vehicle in the game . . . I just don’t think Gaijin would ever have the time to do that . . . there are over 2000 vehicles.
Ain’t nobody got time for that.
I have always thought adding a 0.5 to every BR range would help and then reducing the spread to a 0.75 thing, it would still be 3 “steps” but would also “decompress” everything a good bit and stretch the top/end BR’s out by 3 - 4 points.
Two problems with this, 1) as mentioned, every single vehicle would have to have their BR changed, so that right there kinda nixes the idea. 2) queue wait times, as anyone that has played WT for any length of time knows, Gaijin is very adverse to anything that might make wait times longer. And that is understandable . . . people have no patience, gamers prolly even less . . . War Thunder players . . . even less than that . . . . ☻
It would be nice if all we faced were vehicles 1 step higher than ours, or one step lower . . . this would seem ideal . . . say you’re in a 4.7 line up, all you see is 4.3, 4.7 or 5.0 . . . perfect yeah? Only problem is that only works for the guys at 4.7 in this scenario.
Players constantly scream their fingers off to decompress this BR or that BR, because that’s the one they are playing and all they care about it seems like.
For real and actual decompression, you have to do them ALL . . . not just a section here or there . . . . . bottom to top . . . again, every . . . single . . . vehicle would need it’s BR re-evaluated and adjusted according to a grand scheme that would benefit everyone and not just a few . .
this would be an undertaking that could take years . . and oh yeah . . . they add in new vehicles the whole time, so . . . while it sounds nice, I just do not see it happening anytime soon, if at all

Just do +/- 0.7 MM. It gives you less BR steps per battle, which isn’t as good, but since Gaijin refuses to decompress, it is the best solution right now.
