[Discussion] Balance, Bias, Matchmaking and Battle Ratings

Does it tho? Me and a friend tested (not a hill id die on ) and the XS won every time, no matter the pilot.

Kfir is faster but has Wobbly rudder aim and becomes worse the slower it gets. XS snappier, feels smoother/ pulls better at all/ most speeds = win.

The Kfir can just stay faster and use it’s absurdly better P/W ratio to accelerate away and drain the draken of all energy.

The Drakens usually have one or two good pulls in them and after that they have lost so much speed that many other airplanes will win after that because the drakens aren’t that good at energy retention.

From my experience, the XS can win DF vs most other jets around its BR …other than jets with f5 levels of rating- even then the XS has chances. I like it 1 vs 1, anymore tho and its dead real fast. Id take it in a 10.0- 11.0 game over the abomination for sure.

Kfir to 10.7 would do. At 11.0 its just a dead jet

Fair. But leave the floor in a game RN= Russian surprise lol

Take away the AI kills and remove the silver earnt and the kfir stinks the place out

Yeah, it fights flareless and/or RWR-less supersonics.

Examples:
F-1
J35 D/XS
Su-17 at 10.0
Both TT Q-5’s at 10.0
most of French TT 10.0’s
various Israeli TT mirage variants at around 10.0…

Not even to mention one-off gems like the Chinese F-104 at 10.7 with no flares and RWR blind to J-band. You know before the even they saw 23ML every once in a while, but now its permanent mig25-fest. Go figure.

Last update has killed it for me.

Mig25 has made every game in 10- 12 a bore fest with added fun of being made to ground hug the full game.

Aesa radars everywhere but no increase in BRs. Etc etc etc. Trying ground ATM airs got that bad.

Ngl this games just a fucking joke, useless ass Anticheat, constant fucking russian bias, sweatiest fucking playerbase ever, the games a joke.

i dont care if yall flame me for it, games not enjoyable, its not fun when it back to back curbstomps when you arent playing russia, and when ya do its back to back cheaters.

when a good 75% of US 5.7 matches are actually 6.7… fighting king tigers and panthers with a jumbo 75 is nightmare fuel.

So only spawn the jumbo in downtiers? You got like 6 good vehicles to spawn in an uptier that arent the jumbo

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.

LMFAO…but sir they say there are NO cheaters in this game. How dare you spread lies!!!

For real, game is overrun with cheating. Aimbots, Wall hackers, etc. You cant tell me a guy you just killed, spawns in 2km away and before his tank moves an inch hes fired 3 shots and killed all 3 of you from 2km.
The cheating is hidden. Saw one guy on youtube selling cheats and he hides it by having the 1st round either take out gunner, breach, barrel to prevent return fire. That way the data doesnt show repeated 1 shot kills.
Or how about the instant change of entire crew so you cant be killed by dead crew?
My personal fav is the cheat where the invul can be turned on and off. Rounds just fly clean through and register as High or Low misses.

but no there is no cheating in this game

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.
