This!! Although i disagree with Russian. I play Russian, US and Germany. All 3 I am up tiered every single game by at least 1.5 and up. Most matches I cannot pen an enemy at 100m from the front and barely can do it from the side while they hit the building 16km behind me and I die.
Here is the funny part. I tested it last year after I noticed something. If you buy GE, your up tiers drop drastically. I tried this 3x over last fall and winter. Played a week every day and recorded average up tiers. Pretty much 70%+ was all up tiered matches. Bought GE’s and for a couple weeks after up tiers was only 10-15%. After that couple weeks it returned to up tiering. Repeated this 3 or 4 times and each time it repeated.
I believe they do the up tiering just like the crap tanks starting out. You have no upgrades and cant do crap so it pushes players to want to buy them to get competitive. Same with up tiers. They are trying to force you into premium tanks. Funny thing is, this has the exact opposite effect and bet theyve lost 10x more money in people quitting then people buying to get out of it.
Typical event for ground forces, half of the dumbs got ab wh, another half camping like wot kiddos. Include lags, ghost shots and repair simulator. Of course you always shoot at them gummy bears…
State of the game is the worst in years, and nobody care. Gj just throwing copypasta craps and nothing else.
Also i have no words for MM, constant s**tloads of +BR, playing against ppl which half of them cheating hard, and my team contain newbies to make for cheaters on oposite side easy mode… Every damn battle.
I lost faith and definitely can state, GJ cant ride their own game correctly, because nobody care.
I assume it would be half of Rank 8 or less depending on the country.
USA will have 2 rank 9 and 11 Rank 8 after the change so 6? It only requires 5 for rank 8 to be unlocked.
While Sweden will have 1 rank 9 and 7 rank 8 so maybe like 4. Rank 7 and 8 for Sweden requires every previous rank vehicle to be purchased, but the biggest rank is rank 7 at 5 so maybe just 5 or maybe all 7.
The snail will make the decision and whatever it is will probably be rough. I would not be surprised if they make it every rank 8 vehicle but I doubt it.
You do realize Western ammo is already dumbed down in this game. High pressure plasma ignition modern ammo is more effective than Gaijin’s models. They admit it themselves.
Top Tier Ground RB is broken — Russia stacking causes its own queue hell (Rank VII–VIII)
Let’s stop pretending this is a “player count” issue.
The insane waiting times only happen when you queue as Russia or with Russia on your team.
Other nations find matches just fine.
Why?
Because Gaijin turned Russia into a one-nation easy-mode faction.
At Rank VII–VIII Russia has:
• oppressive CAS dominance (Kh-29, Kh-38, LMUR — fire & forget point-and-click kills)
• absurd tank survivability across almost the entire lineup
• the BMPT — completely overtuned and harder to kill than most MBTs
• the strongest SPAA lineup in the game from BR 10.3 all the way to 12.7 — best in class at almost every step
So what happens?
Everyone queues Russia.
Matchmaker gets flooded.
Queue times explode.
This isn’t complicated. It’s what happens when one nation gets everything.
Meanwhile Gaijin keeps gutting other nations.
Germany and Sweden used to be popular ans example: the Leo 2 survivability gets nerfed into the ground and lineups fall apart.
Players leave. Shocking.
Now top tier is basically:
Russia everywhere
Other nations ghost towns
Stacked matches
Broken queues
The bis pulls better above ~850-900kph or something. Below that, they pull nearly the same. J7D has like, a whole 1 degree more at some speeds.
While R60s arent the greatest, it does have 6.
Also, thanks to the jumbo Bis engine, it has faster accel all around. The accel on the bis is much more flat. J7D accel slows after ~850 (in terms of engine performance, Bis accels better all the way from 0 to 1500kph)
The J7D empty 6500kg vs 6852 for the bis, the difference is nothing once you add the bis creates an additional 500kgf, and ~1500kgf more thrust at ~1400kph than the J7D
IMO the bis is better, and the J7D should be 11.0 currently, assuming nothing else changes in the game.
