Gaijin really has to add countries-based match-making rules into their match-making system. Is really isn’t that fun (or depress) to deal with US, USSR and UK heavy tank all at 7.3-8.0 or US & Ger heavy tank at 6.3-7.3 when you in a Leopard or light-armour and the heavy tank on your side is just not heavy enough/ don’t have heavy tank. Most of the time the team with more heavy tank can just mow through the battlefield and begin to spawn killing within 5 min.
this used to exist but was removed because its silly, and completely random matchmaking is the best option

Pure random definitely not the best option, it is not fair nor competitive to both sides, and at the end they will just getting uptiered or facing same vehicle oftentimes because there are no players play those light-armour countries
My favourite part is when they add in mixed matchmaking so even when you finally give up and play the country who has been doing nothing but terrorising you, you still have to face them. I hate Germany.
If you cant deal with a heavy tank in a Leopard with 105mm APDS and HEAT-FS… I don’t know what to tell you. DM-13 will still pen a fair few parts of the front of a T-10M from a km and DM-12 goes through any heavy tank like it’s made of butter.
And even though the Leo has thin armour its crazy bouncy.
That aside I do agree the teaming arrangements need work, the constant Germany, Russia and Sweden teams at top rank are pretty bad as well, the current best CAS and the 3 best SPAAs all on the same side along with All the Leo 2s.
Or Gaijin goes and add their most OP tanks to every other TT in the game…
Just make it like air rb and be mixed battles at this point tbh
What is this insanity
It was good, there were proper “opfor vs bluefor” matches, now we have wot style MM where everybody fights everybody, not really suiting the “ground REALISTIC battles” name

The fact is heavy tanks have more opportunities after mistakes than leopard and this is only for 1v1 situation
pure mixed battles are way more common in air than in ground in my experience
Not really suiting “air REALISTIC battles” name
the realistic part hasnt referred to what nations you fight in a looong time
Does not change the fact, that it is wrong
its the easy way out for gaijin in terms of balancing though
I mean, you do technically have a bunch of countries fighting each other with MiG 29s Vs MiG 29s in Africa. Even in the 70s, Ethiopia bought a bunch of MiGs to fight Somalians.
Oh man, i do love seeing M1 Abrams vs Leopard 2 fighting in Europe, peak REALISTIC battles MM.
Germany is building back its military and America is being… themselves. It is quite realistic.
If more people played ground and air sim, the more likely Gaijin will stop ignoring us and fix long-standing bugs and issues.
As such -
Ground sim has what you yearn for - fixed team vs fixed team including fixed lineups. Unfortunately, those lineups are seriously in need of balance passes themselves and also need to be made more frequent (WTLineup)
Air is a bit more functional due to rotating BR brackets and multiple possible nation groups.
(USSR vs GER/ITA,
GB/US vs JAP
GB/US/USSR/FRA vs GER/ITA/JAP
GB/US/FRA vs GER/ITA/JAP/USSR
and some more variants. I can’t recall what SWE/CHINA are doing. IIRC china usually follows USSR, Sweden usually follows france. US/GB always together. GER never on side of US.)
So come play GSB and ASB and hopefully we reach critical mass with you joining up so gaijin stops ignoring us!
Biggest mental gymnastic i’ve seen here recently
I’m well aware. I was being intentionally daft.
It’s already not realistic in grb with nations USA getting teamed with ussr to fight Germany and Sweden etc. what we want is the ability to play a game with certain nations on both teams since the realistic aspect of team is already gone and it would be much better for balancing
