Playing 5.7 I genuinely see one once every 3 matches. It’s a lot more common than it was. Idk if it’s because of the sl gambling melon dropping BI’s, but it’s undeniably unbalanced and should seriously move up already regardless of activity
Stona_wt is quite good at covering topics.
For example, the Yak1b is an aircraft that was upgraded towards the end of 1942. In simulation warfare, it’s tier 3.3, while in the German tree, it’s equivalent to the FW 190 A1 :=)
As a tank, the T90A entered service in 2004. We’re playing against a 1985 Leopard A4.
For example, the 109 K4 is upgraded towards the end of 1944, at tier 5.7. Although it’s the same equivalent at the time, it’s also the monster called the F4U 4B, which entered service during the Korean War.
For example, the French AMX, with its 4-second reload time, is up against the 6.7 Tiger 2. It’s more effective than the Peugeot and Citroen.
So why are these guys playing the German tree always competing against vehicles that were produced much later and have much better performance?
I demand justice. These should be taken into consideration, at least in simulation mode.
I remember when tanks were first added to the game. Back then, there were T-34-85s up against Panzer 4s. Hahaha, what a terrible time.
Just goes to show you how good Leopard 2A4, Bf-109K4, and Tiger 2 are compared to those inferior vehicles.
Remember, the newer something is for the BR it is, the worse it is.
The older something is for the BR it is, the better it is.
Because the game is somewhat too compressed along the whole tree.
Take your Tiger II example. German 6.7 is decent at 6.7 but gets exponentially worse for every .3 uptier and exponentially better for every .3 downtier. It’s just impossible to stay in the same timeframe when capabilities evolve so quickly and differently between 10 different nations
When it was introduced doesn’t matter. For example, the PzH2000 entered service in 1998 and its the same BR as the 1944 (?) IS-6. The Gepard was in service in 1976 and the M48A2GA2 was later (iirc), the IS-7 was made in 1945. What you should be complaining about is decompression, not when it was produced.
I don’t know why that freak called PZ2000 was added. You’re right about that.
Also, Gaijin has done a good job of “balance” by keeping the levels of those Is3, Is6, and Is7 monsters high.
Can you imagine playing with Tiger 2 against these monsters?

Historically speaking, the Tiger 2 would’ve seen at least the IS-3, likely the IS-4 and possibly the IS-6
Honestly no, they all are a little over br’d and decompression needs to happen for them to be more viable again.
I’d rather play my T-44-100 than any of those anytime soon, as I have a better shell, better mobility, good armor, and a better reload.
Tiger 2 10.5cm should become 7.3
T29 should become 7.3
T34 should be 7.0
And the T26E5 should be 7.0
Or drop the IS-3 to 7.0, the IS-6 to 7.3 & the IS-4 to 7.3
Puma go away from 1_1 sim lineup
Hellcat go away from 3_1 sim lineup
Make The brenus sit at 8.3

Well several AA like the Bosvark, Yestervark and PBV 301 would become near useless if they had to fight aircraft around the era of their Inception.
Also Concept 3 fighting M1A1s wouldn’t go well.
(Also while British built, the Strikemaster mk.88 is New Zealand operated, not that it changes performance or anything.)
It’s because Gaijin has never balanced around date, it has always balanced around capabilities. The only place where this is remotely comparable is top tier, but then we see the issue that Russia is at least decades behind nato and this is with Gaijin holding back NATO tanks
I’d kind of like to see The T95 go down to 6.7 in RB.
Would also like to see the T32 and T32E1 dropped down a little bit. T32 to 7.0 and T32E1 to 7.3 respectively.
The T90A tank entered service in 2004, and the Leopard A4 in 1985.
We become mascots for 12-year-old children.
Friends, I think we’re the fools.
You won’t play. It’s that simple.
You won’t play. !!
The top tier modern AA’s should be moved to a BR respective of the air threats they face.
CLAWS/IRIS etc → 12.7 to face modern threats
Apache 64E/Mi28 etc with F&F should raise in BR to 12.7

I can’t stand the top tier anymore.
just a context, I shot, he survived and killed me
What am I supposed to do against yet another Soviet legal cheater? I even stood up next to burning corpses and he still hits me somehow. Although, for example, the Pars will never hit the intended target like that. I can’t even shoot him down — another bit of Soviet magic: the missile just flies off who knows where instead of flying straight under radio guidance+gps
And this only happens with the Russian side — an invulnerable helicopter and a million no-brainer rockets.
If I try to grab some gun or whatever, I just get killed by another OP thing. Amazing gameplay — so fair and delightful, really makes me want to keep playing your half-finished game (not).
“Delete all those damn air-to-surface IR rockets!”
Of course german who have only IR missles in top AA 100% battle against russian.
every battle agains russian. You are okay???
Did you add the new SAMs only so they’d be worthless against the new Russian air force?
Irl this rusian magic work only agains simple ir missle such Stinger. Not IRIS-T.

Guess what vehicle he was using? Hint: Invincible Helicopter with 8x Instakill FnF Missiles that you can only reliably kill with aircraft… but only with TV Guided Munitions that cost upwards of 800-900SP. Fox-1/3s get multipathed and Fox-2s do nothing. Use your gun? Yeah, it can kill you with its own gun if they’re aware or just get help from another Heli, Aircraft or AA.
So, when are we getting a nerf to FnF helicopters?

I am sure I have posted already in this discussion, the alleged balance and matchmaking are a farce.
It cannot have been done so badly by accident it is intentional and on purpose, probably to cut waiting time for games but also trying to psychologically manipulate players into spending money to try and decrease the time and effort. But it never actually happens because everything is structured to make sure it does not happen.
There is no matchmaking or balance in the game that can be called worthy of such a title.
You only hit the ammunition, but you didn’t penetrate the blast door, so the explosion just went through the blowoff panels. Then he shot you with the round in the breech.
