[Discussion] Balance, Bias, Matchmaking and Battle Ratings

There isn’t; WOT is purely tanks, and that’s purely arcadey and, well… not great.
WOWS->Purely ships, amazing system, but also fake stuff.
WOWP → It’s completely dead for being Arcade and not so good kind either.

Here’s the real truth, there are no games where all said categories are in the same game at the same length it is sadly here…

just like WT naval for the most part then. (WOWS is vastly superior to WT naval no matter which way we look at it ngl)

  1. level is not an indication of a player being good. I’m lvl 100 but I suck at RGB.
  2. level doesn’t even mean you have played 1 game in that mode.
  3. some players (like me) prefer low-mid tier because of the vehicles - WW2.

So why did you post?

See ya!

exactly

I see that the leopard 2A7V for germany has its spall liner modeled but the other leopards doesn’t. Why? (Even the sWaTglnf has it modeled)

Low-mid tier would be so much more enjoyable if the KV chassis just didn’t exist. The L-11 is one thing, that chassis is at least easy to pen, but all of the uparmored shit is genuinely egregious to shoot at. The 6 pounder should not be struggling so much but it does and then there’s the KV-1E/B/m1942 which have even MORE armor. Screw balancing for a second, playing against this shit just straight up isn’t enjoyable.

the only other 2a7 in game is italian and it is modeled. the 2a5/2a6 do not have spall liners

Do you seriously think that such a game encourages donations?

They do but only in the turret.

Also afaik the PSO should have hull spall liners

Earlier this year i switch from arcade to realistic. And i have to state this, constant chi/ru band of cheaters on enemy side, wot “i will camp for one kill and two hits” players in my team. We both know this game dying, but be real, why is that lol?.
Why i have face in RB players which using anything but skill?
I got it in arcade, where i have had almost 60wr, but in RB? Where i have not more than 47% wr? But ye, no skill mm they said.
It is the same as on video below, no skill mm ahaha :D
No skill MM they said

how often is it cheaters and how often are you just getting diffed (which I agree, is extremely frustrating). It’s the latter more often than not.

Game is dying because Gaijin doesnt listen. Every issue you can search on forum has usually got posts from years ago moaning about the same things time again

BOT ran market place - Gaijin said they was “on it” years ago
Decompression
Broken replays so we cant report cheaters
Scripted/ rigged gameplay

Its not 1 single issue its a massive combination of bad at every turn

Sonion

not to mention

-egregiously bad map design
-matchmaker unfriendly to newer players
-crew leveling just as a mechanic
-certain extremely critical things (rangefinder) are unbound by default

this is just things that I can think of off the top of my head that are directly related to gameplay. Volumetric is a whole other can of worms that I’m not remotely qualified to speak on beyond saying that KV-1s are a seal clubber’s dream.

There are so so many problems with the game that it cannot really market itself as realistic, only the models bare any semblance to realism and some of those are dubious.
Unfortunately it is so bad these days especially with such unbalance in games, vehicles and game play I am now beginning to think it is all rigged, games cannot be that unbalanced without intent or action to do so. Skill will play a very very small part in the equation, but there maybe things going on in the background that players are not privy or aware of that fair outweigh other factors.

  • Italian tech tree AMX and AMX A-1A are still too high br in air realistic.

  • Some crew skills are almost pointless. (rework the logistical services…)

  • Sovetsky Soyuz russian top tier ship is still overpowered and extremly unrealistic strong → higher br, or change the guns at least for the real stats

  • DECOMPRESSION specially over 10.7!

  • Russian BMPT (both) are simple too strong, still need to go higher BR.

  • Make lower BR’s worth to play again!

  • Make airplane spawn at airfield or at carrier at battle start in naval realistic (they are weak enough, AA is extreme, give them chance to fight first as torpedo bombers)

  • I suggest to remove the +1/-1 BR in all realistic battles and start to use +0,7/-0,7 BR ranges. Specially in naval battles! Or just decompress the whole trees for that.

Many important keybinds are by default objectively terrible
A lot of binds needed in top tier air for example are just garbage

a lot of binds needed for air in general are very bad. And I get that it can be very difficult to give everything a good bind, but good lord can we stop using alt as the default combo key, it’s so annoying to randomly have certain things not work because the alt press decided to do the alt function instead of the combo function

idk about you but I’ve been enjoying 3.7 britain for the most part. The 6 pounder is such a good gun, spitfires are really fun to play and the Cromwell 1 in particular is really outstanding (even if I’m firstspawning the crusader 3 a lot of the time). Also, for the record, the 6 pounder straight up outreloads a sherman. It’s so good.
