And do you think it is normal that almost half of your games can be in the most unfavorable conditions?
Put together that you are in stock and you have the perfect cocktail.
I don’t care about your excuse that there are only 4 top tier players because you know well that the game is usually run by a maximum of 6 players. If two or three of them are top tier, forget about it.

I just call that middle since vehicles from a higher branch get down-tiered. So some are let’s say 5.7 while you a 5.0 and the tanks near you are 5.3s. It’s probably what he meant by half uptier. All of us have our own way of describing these weird battles in said category.
Why should i have more SP to spend on more units to be cannon fodder for an uptier enemy and if i choose not to get crew lock. Im i really supposed to keep throwing tanks at the enemy, does anyone call that fun. No wonder ODL is such a big problem

I am currently trying to unlock more aircraft in the US tree and currently playing in BR3.0 in GRB.
today 10 rounds with my 3.0 US lineup … the result:
4x 3.7 BattleBR
6x 4.0 BattleBR
Not a single battle on my BR or just above.
BUT … I only lost two rounds.

I have heard that if you have a high player level/high play time, you have an increased chance of being uptiered. No idea if its true, but tracks with past experience
This topic had me confused for a little while, i started playing it the wrong way round and played my last few matchies as full on assult mode while being uptierd

Simple as.
Strictly speaking about GRB here.
Not about level or play time. It´s related to “average position in team”.
The better this stat, the worse teammates and more uptiers you get.
Got VERY noticable when I got to 75 % relative position in team. Now I get teams full of toddlers where I usually score as many kills as the rest of my team combined. Not trying to brag here, but it´s not fun for me and also for my teammates I´d imagine.
I wish the SBMM wasn´t in the game. Now my friend doesn´t even want to play with me because every game is full uptier, the opponents we get are WAY above his skill and he usually ends on the bottom of the leaderbord. When he plays alone he posts me screenshots with 12 kill games which are usually a downtier as well.
I wish Gaijin would not hide the use of SBMM at least, but then again, I guess players would riot.

From my feeling, experience and 195 days in the game, I would definitely say YES there seems to be an SBMM.
Now, of course, I want to know.
But am I ready to drive 100 battles on 3.0 US BR … there is only one 3.0 tank in the BR and it is … well. I like a challenge …’
And then I’d have to do 100 battles in every BR … then you’d need other players to do the same.
btw … did 5 more battles …
6x 3.7 BattleBR
9x 4.0 BattleBR
4x Loss 12x Win
Players who want something: I’m going to write an essay, also players who want something: Put it in the discussion channel instead of suggesting how it could be implemented.
Interesting, but I would go about it another way. Try this instead.
Make a normal lineup, drive a tank in the middle of enemies, do not kill anyone just die. Respawn and do the same until you can no longer spawn.
Do this 100 times.
After 100th battle try to play normally.
Notice you play against braindead bot like people and enjoy your 20:0 K/D game.
It goes way deeper than SBMM. Armor value, armor penetration, missile tracking, flare resistance de/buffs. Not many people remember they played with the idea of introducing these as consumables. Something similiar to RP/SL boosters but for armor / shell values.

As interesting as I find the idea, it happens to me from time to time due to carelessness. I can’t bring myself to play like that ^^
I have observed something else in a duel against a lvl 10 player. Combat distance 10-20m … all shots went to the edge of the target circle and I don’t mean the small one … 5x in a row. I was just lucky that he wasn’t able to aim at my weak spots.
Reminds me a lot of WoT … back then I knew I had to lose.

What is that?
I am currently recording my sp costs and will publish them soon.

How do you keep track of your Battle-rating?
I take a screenshot on the tank selection screen and after the battle so I can keep track of my wins and losses.
I thought about screen shots but thats a bit OP, so i resulted to old fashion pen and paper and just writes down the SP cost for medium tank in batchies of 10. FYI im acing my centurion mk1 so it will only be a plane and 1 tank line up
Good luck. Looking foward to the results.
So … 10 battles in the 5.0 BR USA:
0x 5.0 Battle BR
1x 5.3 Battle BR
6x 5.7 Battle BR
3x 6.0 Battle BR
So much for full downtier …
5x wins and 5x losses … I keep playing and collecting data.
When they say max 4 top tier in a full uptier, does that mean 4 players ie a full squad, or does it mean 4 tanks max thats in a squads line up. Because i am thinking, you could have a squad with 5 x 4 tanks 1 br above you and that is with out GE crew slots
After that day, I think I’m simply no longer qualified for downtiers …
What happend?
