[Discussion] Balance, Bias, Matchmaking and Battle Ratings

Angle the T-34-85 and the turret is still getting penned, as well as the Hull by most guns.

Just like the Cobra King. The machine gun port can be penetrated. The corners can be penetrated, the area under the turret can be penetrated, the commander’s cupola can be penetrated. The front lower hull can also be penetrated.

A T-34-85 can be penetrated under the turret maybe 1 out of 5 times. The commander’s cupola too, depending on luck. The front can’t be penetrated. The corners can’t be penetrated. The sides can’t be penetrated if it angles properly.

T-34-85 doesn’t have good armor. It has the same hull the 3.7 T-34 has, with a turret that is easily penetrated frontally if shot in the correct spot. Jumbo is frontally IMMUNE practically to most guns it faces at 4.7-5.7 besides the MG port.

No, no — from the front it can definitely be penetrated if you know where to shoot. The weak spots are the corners above the tracks. Lately people especially liked shooting under the turret.

If the T-34-85 has its turret turned even a little, then nothing penetrates anymore. Same thing with the T-34. Right now I’m playing with the Sherman I Composito, and many times it still can’t penetrate THOSE spots you’re talking about.

I just want to remind you that I know what I’m talking about, because I’ve had a lot of battles with the COBRA KING.

Yes… the MG port… all other weakspots are not generally reliable.

T-34-85 is far less armored, FAR less armored.

Your high game count with M4A3E2 does just as much to make me think you are biased as it does to make me think you’re educated on it.

Look T-34 vs 5.7 gun :)

You shot too far to the side.

Nah, here you can penatrate too. But this is russian tank.

Uhh, clearly not. You need to aim for the flatter section

Maybe i hit in strong pixel. But here ez penatrate

I’ve always thought that the way heavys are implemented is poorly. Heavys Should be a lower br than they are, and should cost spawn points to bring it in.

Edit: and if it’s a premium heavy, the random tank the game gives you should be spaded

The Bias is strong recently

With Cobra king, sure. What about vehicles that face it?

You have a lot of battles just in Cobra king, with other vehicles the number is drastically smaller.

I would also be angry if the vehicle I’m using all the time and is too good at its B.R. would be moved up ;). Happily I don’t have such issues as I play most vehicles and can admit if something is overperforming.

Yeah, I bought the COBRA KING because it was a fun tank. And I don’t really have that much time to grind with other tanks. After work I’d just hop on to relax and play a few matches. I also play some GTA 5 RP from time to time.

But now the COBRA KING got nerfed. So now I just use the Sherman I Composito to destroy new players, that’s all :)

5.7 gun vs 4.7 tank. This way to ez penatrate. But nah… this is russian power

You can either shoot hull or stop aiming for the curved sections of the turret just cause it says green. Aim for the flat center area directly next to gun on either side

Look what i can say. You cannot penatrate 4.7 tank with 5.7 gun. T 34 make angle and he is imortal. Thats it.

AMX-50 Surbaissé to 9.3 when Gaijin ?

Spoiler





(irony, in case it wasn’t obvious)

Yeah if you don’t aim

Uptiers are making the game very painful to play nowadays, my tanks at 6.7 have to face 7.7 tanks which I can barely pen.
The situation gets worse for Aircrafts upwards of 7.0, They have to face enemies that are a lot better than them in every way.
So I propose a solution for the uptier and compression issue, how about the game has an option for limiting the battle rating uptier and downtier to just 0.3, this might increase and delay the amount of time required to get into a match but it would be a really good feature.
In simple words, if you are playing a 6.7 Tank, you won’t get uptiered to 7.7, the max uptier possible would be 7.0.

So what do you guys think, Is it a good idea ?
