[Discussion] Balance, Bias, Matchmaking and Battle Ratings

That i have to face them, they also move in herds as i dont think ive met an abrams by itself so far. Ill shoot the breach out of one and then the the pokes round the corner and finishes me off.

Hoard tactics work at top tier suprisngly well.

I’d say move to realistic but I also don’t have the brain for naval realistic so I guess just win the engagement:tm:

Since most players play solo, horde tactics are great for overwhelming loners by themselves

My go to strat is to stick with the bmpt players, there as dumb as two rocks but they can sure tank alot of damage.

When are the CR2s coming down in BR Gaijin…You cannot pretend after all the nerfs they are still top tier?

I maintain the churchill 7 is still mid.

Im just hoping it doesnt get moved up, or at least not by much. This IS a good game of mine but it certainly isnt mid by any means.

People just dont know where to shoot you is all, the roof can be penned by pretty much anything at the br or even bellow.

I’ve had good games in the 7 (though not 11 kills good I think I’m playing it far too aggressively) but I’ve also had a lot of 1:1 games and even 0:2 games. My best games in the 7 are games where I’m not shooting at soviet shit all the time. Generally on city maps (or fire arc without snipers[which is unironically fun btw]). You’re stupidly weak to panthers, panzer 4s can easily fuck you if they’re remotely good. The tank is much better than it was before the update, but at the end of the day it’s still a Churchill and it’s going to become completely useless if it’s moved up. This is NOT the black prince, this is an upgrade to the NA75.

Dear Gaijin: for the love of FUCK stop doing pages of history events with low tier soviets. I want the giant trophy for each part, I shouldn’t have to suffer through 5.0 uptiers with tank guns that are only passable at 3.7. Stop making me play worse Cromwells. The Cromwell is better than the t-34 in every way that actually matters. Mobility is better, armor doesn’t matter because you die if you’re penned anyway, gun is better, reload is substantially better, gun handling is better. The Cromwell has the ability to actually play the game on hilly maps. Genuinely I’d rather have a british 6 pounder than the god awful soviet 76.

im with QTip_44. Some tanks are awful with their rotation, but would be pretty good if they had more than what they currently have. Think M10 GMC, Pvkv IV. Both have abysmal turret rotation speeds (3.1 with the upgrade and 4.5 with an aced crew) but have decent firepower and SOME protection (M10 being a 76mm, and Pvkv IV having APDS and APHEBC), which make them incredible powerful at both their Battle Rating and even at higher Battle Ratings (Sweden isn’t a good pick, a lot of early vehicles there get 3,7cm APDS, 7,5cm APDS). You can realistically bring the M10 all the way up to 6.0 or higher depending on skill level. the M4A3 (105) is another example, having attrociously slow turret rotation (6 degrees a second aced) yet a powerful howitzer that can kill a tiger frontally at any range

Saw someone get a 20 kill game in it post change.

and people have gotten nukes with the m22. What’s your point

Hot take #1: The Cromwell is better than the T-34 in every way that matters with the sole exception of small or low velocity rounds.

Hot take #2: Fire Arc is unironically a fun map at low tier if there aren’t any sniper vehicles present in the match

T-34 has poor reverse speed, but the Cromwell is even worse.

What’s the point of the new event. I can already queue for normal ground battles and get the exact same experience of German players pretending sniping is a remotely interesting playstyle.

Neutral steering is better on the cromwell so reversing is not really a problem

What is with fakours and alerting RWRs so late compared to every single other missile in the game? I’m seeing them alert me less than 15km away compared to the 20 that’s common for other missiles. I’ve seen videos of them alerting RWRs less than 10km away, which gives you 8 seconds or less to react most of the time.

Why specifically do Aim-54s/Fakours get this ability, and not others?

Wdym? Thats mainly just the tws datalink in effect where the missile just uses the planes radar to guide itself in until its close enough then goes pitbull itself. Mainly when they’re using tws it’ll only give you a blip instead of a lock warning which then makes those missiles way deadlier if your not paying attention.

I know that’s what it is, but why do the Aim-54s/Fakours pitbull so much later than every other missile?

Petition to recompress 7.0 so 5.7 can actually exist as a BR again

4 second and 5 second reloads for top tier tanks while realistic is not good for the game.

it encourages very negative styles of play. I would also remove the laser range finder players should have to learn shell drop. The level of game knowledge to play the game at top tier is zero it is setup to allow a new player to join a game and do well. We need to reinstate a learning curve.
