[Discussion] Balance, Bias, Matchmaking and Battle Ratings

They’re not.
They’re a balancing factor and adjusted loosely based around realism but focused around balance

Yeah right.

What?
This sounds like pure delusion.
Let me quickly confirm with friends who are actual pilots
Edit: got an answer,
I quote: “This guy’s talking bullshit”

Aspects of missiles are based on realism
But many things (especially seekers, datalink, etc) are not realistic.

The things you’re listing aren’t game limitations.

Well yeah, because everything is behind a 40-dollar package paywall.

Name a reload that a real person physically cannot attain, and I’ll concede.
Note, we do have proof that given enough gusto, a real person can reload ~20kg round in 3.5 seconds.
Realistic reloads mean they’re within a range of probable times.
Physical possibility is realism in this case.
Matching what specific loaders have done would be role-playing as that loader, reenacting.

The question you have to ask real pilots for the answer you want:
“Does 3rd person give you substantial advantage over 1st person?”
Of the real pilots I’ve spoken to, none of them have said yes.
Of course my answer will be yes, because I’m not trained in dogfighting.
A real pilot will play RB & SB more similarly than non-pilots.

But yeah, the downward blindspot impacts me extremely negatively in simulator.

That’s still not realistic since gaijin can just change them willy-nilly on a whim if they wanted to.
Again, they’re a balancig factor

Yes, it will
Especially in dogfights since it’s now impossible to duck under the enemy pilot’s instruments to avoid getting shot or be harder to hit.

I’ve occasionally done dogfights in the vs people in sim and a frequent complaint I’ve recieved is how I was able to hit 800m+ shots with ease while they had much more trouble because I can just point my mouse and win.

You can also just check for damage so much easier while when stuck in the cockpit you’re limited to the outer parts of your wing

The BR of the A129CBT should be lowered to 10.7, matching the Mi-35M. It carries only eight missiles, and its optics have very limited magnification. Since its effective firing range is within 3 km, it remains balanced as it stays within the engagement range of air defense systems; however, at BR 11.0, it would face air defense systems that are far too powerful.

Come on. Do you REALLY need a second opinion to know that 9/10s of what that poster says is either wrong or out of touch with reality?

First rule of WT forums. If he-who-shall-not-be-named-else-they-flag-you-using-sockpuppet-accounts agrees with you - you are in serious trouble.

Getting games were my entire team is below 10.0 were 9.3-9.7 planes and are Enemies are all 10+ what kind of Joke is this Im expected to fight 10.7 Mirage with my Av8 and win that fight this is why should be locked br 1.0-2.0 2.0-3.0 and so on I should be going from 9.7 to 10.7 its ridiculous I should be fighting only the Jets in my BR up to10.0 in my opinion.

But this has to Change you cant play late night early morning mind night to 5 am because its none stop losing games where your entire teams under 10.0 and the Enemies are 10.+ and just Destroys the Entire Team in mins because their Full missile boats and out class the other jets.

You dont.

You play the mirage instead… then you fight mig 23. So you use the mig 23 and get slapped by… well you get the point

Eventually you are at top tier and look at all the vics you painfully grinded and the realisation sets in that 99% are useless.

No not trolling just sheer comedy gold, should give up the day job and be a comedian, or just shilling for the company, who can tell.

Why does british bluewater feel so underwhelming (even on paper)? Like it doesn’t even remotely feel appealing to play. Might be a little whiney, but I’ve got HMS Renown from crates recently and just sold it instantly after seeing what it is at its BR. Why do people play it and brit bluewater fleet except historical shenanigans?

Hunter F6 is another jet that is now dead thanks to Gaijins balancing with stats.
Its just the best being slow AF with no CMs vs mig 25 every game.

Keep.going Gaijin The GB grippen is also dead after next patch. Which leaves spitfires, 1 tornado and the EF that are worth playing out of a full nation.

Why stop here…Spitfire mk24 to 7.0 was attempted a couple of updates ago.

It makes sense that the harrier at 12.3 with its 0.4 KD is left to rot for years- but any sign of anything GB doing OK is insta yoinked to the dust pile.

Just dont act surprised when the game dies

Leave the XS as it is. We dont need radar missiles so it goes to 10.7
Its one of the few fun vics left in the game…

Give the new j35 what you like but stop the slop ruining other vics on the way.

At 10.3 with fox 1 and no CMs nobody is playing it so you dont have to worry about it negativly effecting the sales of the XS.

The XS at 10.7 with radar missiles is not going to sell. Its pay for pain again. Think of the pennies Gaijin

T58, also reloads are generally SLOWER than documented for balancing, but of course the senrai pfp thinks war thunder is this perfect and flawless game because le anime waifu

@Yubel2
T58 uses an autoloader.
Interesting that your post says War Thunder is without flaws; it isn’t.
You have problematic views of women as well.

bro I think war thunder is so flawed that I absolutely refuse to spend money on this game because I know doing so won’t fix any of my problems. Also it’s not sexist to make fun of people for falling for lowest common denominator marketing like you

I got about halfway through the tree (early BCs and BBs) and found it pretty fun. That being said, this was before the naval arcade reworks. I have no idea how naval is now and I haven’t bothered to go back. But all of the cruisers were very good in my opinion. And the HMS Glorious was a blast.
