[Discussion] Balance, Bias, Matchmaking and Battle Ratings

You should change your comment in english, if you want to be understand in the ‘international section’. Also, it’s about popularity with the moment : sales.

im not going to pretend im a good player, I’m here for simple enjoyment which low skill germans bring

It still depends on your BR, though, and imo only 2 people should be max uptiered or downtiered

Not balanced with magic 2s.

Is this the pinned thread where all our complaints go to be ignored at once all in a single neat location?

Dear @Gaijin,

a very interesting question that concerns me is how long can a dead Russian pilot fight?

If a KA-50/52 is hit by 3x VT1 missiles it should at least be incapable of fighting, if in real life it can’t even survive a Stinger.

IRL proved that Ka52 can land after 2 stingers hit and even continue his flight for some time.
In the game ka-52 can’t survive even one 13,2mm hit. KA52(not 50), ah1z, uh-60, mi-25,35 are broken for 2 major patches. Bug confirmed, but not fixed.
Ka50, ah64, EC tigers and others fuselages are completely invisible and can survive any amount of hits of any shell.
Proof. My video

The game’s matchmaking is disgraceful. More than 80% of games are roflstomps, which are over in less than 8-10 minutes. The developers either don’t care, are simply incompetent or maybe like watching teams get rolled so haven’t tried to address it. I called them out on ingame chat and of course I got chat-banned for ‘abuse’ (for saying that they’re high lol). Anyhow, the quality of games isn’t going to improve unless this is addressed in some way, which I’m doubtful given their track record in dealing with some other issues.

everyone except USSR and germany getting 13.0, the battle rating compression and having to fight 13.0 fox 3 planes while not having anything close to that as a germany main makes this game unplayable for me. i spent a few thousand bucks on this, but i won’t because it’s quite obvious that gaijin doesn’t care for it’s whales.

Germany . Is. Fine.
Not meta for the update, yes.
Still 2nd best ground tree, yes.
F4F ICE works fine as a missile boat, yes.
Yall will get some ahistorical nonsense, give it 1-2 updates.

you’re on something stupid.

Its an adequate radar with good missiles and enough speed to be somewhat competitive

Hello, I have a question about the game.
Why does the Leclerc have higher visibility than all other MBTs (except the Merkava), and on what basis is this parameter determined?

The phantom is far better at top tier than a harrier or J-8, and in a downtier is downright goofy. Its not good, but by no means unusable

If by “works fine” you mean “is extremely behind the curve regarding competitiveness to its peers”

Its peers in game are:
Tornado F-3(late)
J-8
All AIM-120 harriers
Among those, it is excellent.
Of course its worse than 13.0s, its a lower BR

No, its peers are 13.0s because that is what it actually matches with consistently. It is also worse than the Harrier

  1. The harrier also sees 13.0s, same with J-8F
  2. The F-4F KWS/LV ICE is a better plane then any harrier in game. It is faster, better armed, and with at worst an equal radar.
  3. It is worse then 13.0s. That is why it is not a 13.0

The harrier sees MAJORITY downtiers currently in air RB.

Not in air RB, no. Fully false. AV-8B is far more meta due to both its BR placement as well as its ability to actually reasonably defend itself.

No shit, it’s also an awful 12.7 that belongs at 12.3 currently.

The harrier is slower, with less missiles, and at best equally performing missiles. It is ever so slightly better at turning and can troll with VTOL, but in no way is the 8V8B+ or GR-whatever better. I will say that it deserves 12.3 and not 12.7, but the 11.3s would suffer greatly from more AMRAAMs
