[Discussion] Balance, Bias, Matchmaking and Battle Ratings

All game modes become arguably unplayable. Gamemodes with multiple respawns suffer immensely from this.

GRB is from 13.0 down to 7.0 infested with premium one-death leavers. The teambased gamemode with multiple respawns get turned into a 90 second “battle” if you even wanna call it that and then one team crumbles and it becomes 3 guys with a lineup against 10+ other players.

Air is 16 premiums vs 16 premiums at most BRs past 9.0. The game is incredibly stale.

I personally would wait 3-5 minutes to get an actual game going and play a match for more than 2 minutes. The game is nice, the recent additions are cool, the features on the dev look amazing, but the sale playerbase makes me not want to touch the game at all until feburary when the christmas sale dies down.

the bomber buffs are really cool because not only does britain just not get to take advantage of them, but it also means a significant amount of air rb battles in the 6.0 area are just infested with Ju288Cs, especially because of the event, and the TU-2 is also just everywhere. Even spitfires with stealth belts on hispanos, for example, aren’t doing jack shit to them. It’s just a significant amount of planes in the game that you can’t engage with at all.

I can confirm the brigand doesn’t have a new damage model, fucking why

Anyone noticed games at 12.3 are over in around 1- 2 minutes after 1st action, it always used to be fast but now its every game even on bigger maps

Hardly anybody is flying high now too as multipath seems to have somehow become be best option to evade. Cant remember last time I was hit while under 50 m and even the more or less certain 10 km fox 3 head on dunks from height are all missing?

Is it the missile buffs or did they change it as something is different

someone please explain to me the logic of the A-26B-10, a fucking strike aircraft, getting a bomber DM but the brigand, a light bomber, not getting one. If strike aircraft are getting bomber dms because they’re technically fighter bombers, give the mosquitos bomber dms, cowards. Be consistent. Better yet, fucking revert these changes.

In the dev server the Ju-87, Helldivers, Kingfishers (lol), XA-38, and P-61s.

From the changelog

Still no brigand.

Literally why this is a fucking fighter.

ah yes, one of the worst divebombers in the entire game is getting a new DM before something that could actually be useful. These models are fucking stupid. Fighters should not be afraid to do their job of intercepting bombers but now bombers are being fucking fighters. If gaijin is trying to kill the game this is a good way to do it

RDF from 12.0 to 12.7; BMPT-72 from 11.7 to 12.0 it’s only fair? T80-U-E1 from same 12.0 to 12.3 breh

I’m curious… Is the mediocre maximum penetration of the dart round in Type 69 the only reason it stayed at 8.3 BR in ground realistic? I find it baffling its just one BR step above Leopard 1 when even the Type 74 (C) and STB-2 went up to 8.7 in ground realistic.

I hate hate HATE the new bomber DMs. There’s quite literally zero reason to ever attempt to engage an A-26B that’s diving on you. You are better off just running away and praying the person diving on you can’t aim. This isn’t healthy, it’s not fun. Unless there are plans to make fighters just as unkillable, I don’t understand how this is an acceptable gameplay dynamic.

can we just move 8.7 germany up again. or delete the gepard from the code. either one. I shouldn’t have to play a full uptier on fields of poland because one of my favorite tanks is 7.7

Or maybe learn to deal with them?

playing on fields of poland in general counts as cruel and unusual punishment. or maybe you could leave me alone and stop making me even more upset than I already clearly am. do you have real friends? or are you just this annoying on the war thunder forums because you can get away with it.

So this is just a coping mechanism for You, got it.

Leave me the fuck alone. I don’t like you. I don’t respect you. I don’t want to hear or see what you have to say. Fuck off. Take the hint.

Sometimes it is better to take a brake from a game/forum instead of having Your emotions cloud Your judgment.

in all of our exchanges you have been nothing but condescending and annoying. kindly leave me alone and stop replying to my posts.

Why I’m not even surprise to see :

  • 2s19
  • T-80UD
  • T72AV
    -T-72B 1989 (T-72B is ‘okay’ at 10.3)
  • T-90A
  • Bmp-2M

All soviet - russian tanks not even move with the decompression.
