[Discussion] Balance, Bias, Matchmaking and Battle Ratings

Yeah, but those stats don’t count because they’re fake winrate stats. Everyone knows only Gaijin has the sacred, invisible, perfectly accurate stats that conveniently justify whatever balance decision they already wanted to make.

They just do whatever they like not even looking if that balance or not (Kh-38, LMUR, and Relikt aren’t new anymore. If there were balance concerns with them, there has been more than enough time to address those issues. Instead of seeing major adjustments, we’re now getting the Pantsir-SM-SV on top of everything else. Looking at the overall trend, it feels like the existing balance concerns remain while new capabilities continue to be added, which makes it seem as though overall balance isn’t the main priority)

BMPT is getting nerfs

These two are not good enough to be affecting winrates

its just the 2A42/2A72 cannons and thats not a valid nerf due it being just a little more spread so stop with the bias crap

Which is a pretty severe nerf for them.
The only other nerf that is needed is the ammo rack being made internal instead of external

Jeez US mains cannot stop crying, they’re getting so many buffs this update but apparently it’s never good enough.

You could give them the F-22 and F-35 rn and they’d still be upset

The Churchill 7 isn’t even that good now and people think that dropping it to 4.3 (without the APHE) would be completely unreasonable, pointing to the stats. What they don’t realize is that the British 75 (again without its APHE) is an abysmal gun and of course the only people playing the Churchill 7 are the ones who are cracked to shit with it so the stats look good. A t-34-76 can very easily kill a Churchill 7 frontally (longways through the tracks) and the Churchill 7 player has to actually play volumetric bingo to kill it in return (that’s actually kind of a theme with low tier Britain shooting at Soviet things). Like it’s gonna be so cool to actually have a decent heavy tank above 4.0 (NA75 could drop) for all of one month before the people who don’t know how to kill Churchills complain about a Churchill. It’s really cool.

The forehead being able to be penned by literally anything above a 50mm says what, most of the time i die in my churchill mk7 its due to gaijin bullshit rather than actual skill or thinking, stuff like the round phasing through my armour because it hit my mudguard or track armour leading to my crew getting over pressured…

With aphe it would have had my only gripe with it fixed, so who knows. All i know is that it will almost certainly get moved up. By how much is the real question. I think 5.3 is as high as i would like it to go as its by no means a better jumbo as the short stab carries the shit out of anything its put on. Its why i love shermans no matter the br, they are always usable.

Let me correct that for you, YOU are not good enough to be affecting the win rates.

One person alone cannot affect win rates

But two can as seen in the case of the CL-13 mk4 a year or two ago.

APHE on the VII fixes the main problem with the british 75 but I’m tired of low velocity mid pen guns just in general which is why I really despise playing 75 Shermen. Unrelated point but G-Loc is a dogshit mechanic and should be deleted from the game

It’s genuinely ridiculous that an SPAA ever feels safe enough to push a tank, let alone a tank that is actively watching the corner they are pushing. There definitely isn’t a balancing disaster right there, nosiree!

It’s also ridiculous that people say the kv1 is “mid”. Yeah sure dude tell that to my british 75 and how 4 fucking shots to its drivers port (all of which penned) didn’t finish it off. “Why are you shooting the same place 4 times” WELL WHEN IT WORKED THE FIRST TWO TIMES THE HITCAM TOLD ME THE SPALL WAS DAMAGING THE CREW IT DIDN’T OUTRIGHT KILL. Also it’s a KV-1 where else is the most anemic cannon in the entire game supposed to penetrate it frontally. Like my fault I guess I should have tried to flank in my Churchill when the KV wasn’t alone.

Just trust in the m61 shot, the difference between the aphe and solid shot variant is night and day. Youll go from non penning the mantlet of the t34/kv1 to cleaving right through every time. The modifiers for them are insane.

Youll finally be able to kill the t34 1942 through the cheeks without the bullshit secondary plate blocking all your spall.

My trio of the Apocalypse at 4.7 is the churchill mk7, t-14 and the premium kv1 for sweden with the cast turret and 76mm. They all slap unbelievably hard.

Makes me think the mk7 may not go up if we play our cards right, as i would say the t14 is better purly due to the stab and faster speed, although i dont hold up much hope for my excelsior apart from the fact the roof armour is so weak on it youll be over pressured by 105mm heat striking your turret face.

Gaijin doesn’t balance things by just looking at their winrates.

Getting 2.5x more spread isn’t just “a little”.
Thinking that’s not a valid nerf just shows your biases.

Apparently it does by SL income.
Just that killing a lot of enemies for SL kind of chains into better winrate

no? sl income is very very random
