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

Not really… Germany military is still quite a joke right now, their news had reported most of their tank is not operational 😅

THEN WE NEED TO GET IT BACK
just because it is gone does not mean that we need to get comfortable with bad and unrealistic MM
Old axis vs allies style MM was good. Simple as.
Go figure. America got what they wanted at long last: the German military being inoperable and reliant on American weaponry. Truman must be so glad.
Ever heard of World War 2?
USA teaming with USSR to beat the hell out of germany is more or less what happened during the Race to Berlin.
Sweden, if we treat it as Finland, also make perfect sense in such a context.
Well, America wasn’t beating up Germans in Berlin, and Russians weren’t fighting in Flanders with France and Britain.
With Lend-leae in mind, seeing T-34s and Shermans side by side doesn’t sound implausible.
There were plenty of P40s, P47, P39s/P63s and Spitfires on the Eastern Front as well. Especially spitfires.

I disagree with having an axis v allies / bluefor v redfor mm it’s better to keep it in sim battles since it’s a simulator mode which rb is not and having matchmaking be limited to a few nations that can be paired with each other really makes it easy to one side to completely stomp one side out example being F15C/E bluefor stomping on redfor with their best plane being Su27sm/j11A and mig 29smt last year
No really, their military is indeed inoperable but they also not that reliant on US weaponries, because they just turning into a incentive machine that try to milk the money from the gov as many as they can

Nah.
Pure random is the best option, it’s the most fair and causes the least issues with vehicle balance.
@Hudler
That’s not what realism means, and real-life wargames do exactly that and more.
We have realistic battles back, they’re currently here.
What you want are historical battles, which have nothing to do with realism.
@NOR_Tissetassen Again, not what realism means.
