[Discussion] Balance, Bias, Matchmaking and Battle Ratings

i always bring the m1128 at 12.0 and it performs well, so yeah 10.7 won’t hurt it lol

You bring the wolfpack because it gives a discount for jets and helicopter, period. If gaijin suddenly decides to remove spotting discount, no one plays 10.3 vehicle at the top tier. I also use it to spawn 500 point full f15e.

i use it because i like it, i usually switch the vehicle in the light tank slot because i want to play with something specific like the m3a3, stryker or hstvl : )

Im unsure if you mean trials or tested as in used in real life scenarios.

If the latter than i suggest searching videos of Syrian rebels using them, the Kurdish groups using them and most recently the conflict in Gaza. In syria t72 was detroyed, the kurdhish destroyed an iraqi Abrams and 2 namer apcs one with aps being bypassed. This is the Hj-8 missle. i took this off wikipedia so take it with a grain of salt, the gaza one i have seen the videos so i can confirm, i am unsure about the rest.

Holy copium.

If you have a source for it, bug report it.

Reload rate is used as a balancing tool. Not to mention that a lot of WW2 and early cold war vehicles don’t have their fastest possible reload. Shermans with 75 and 76 mm guns were stated to have a max reload of 20 RPM, and stuff like Centurions could reload way faster (search up “Bang On, Always!”, specifically look at the 1 minute mark).

Again, if the armor is wrong and you have proof, bug report it.

Same, again.

Nothing in testing after WW2 could penetrate a Jagdtigers front glacis.

I see new changes of BR. Hunter f.58 (Swiss) go to 10.0 - after 70 battles 95% of battles was on 10.7, full downtier i saw once. Now it is going fight always with supersonic planes. Great move :)

Hunter to 10.0, whilst J35 A a Mach 2 plane more manoeuvrable than MiG21 goes down to 9.3. Makes great sense.

About that,
As much as it doesn’t makes sense… see the toolkit.
Hunter has CMs and good missiles. J35A is pure flight performance and can be countered by most IR that are not AIM-9B/R-3S.
Now even if you try and pull the rockets trick in J35A, you have 6 and you mess the performance…

However considering all 9.3 jets are either - lack flares and fly badly, or are simply too slow. F100 for instance, compared to J35A, slower, less manoeuvrable and less missiles. Same for MiG-19s. When you look at that BR, the only competitors are in fact MiG-21s and F-104s which clearly, are less manoeuvrable and carry less missiles.

These BR changes make very little difference and makes some compression even worse. A5C, 10.7, whilst J35XS makes it down to 10.3, having every possible advantage except 9J vs Magic 1, which also should be mentioned is 6v2, and that it lacks 6 flares, 12v18. That barely makes up for the speed and manoeuvrability nvm a lower BR.

Am I the only one noticing that the economy of tank battles is quite disproportionate? Unlike air battles where it’s even quick to research superior tank planes, playing tanks is torturous, Even more researching the 11.7 like Abrams, maybe we should ask for a new economy?

J35A have same BR with J32B now 💀

Their balancing is so wild.

Guys, any idea how we could fix spawnkilling in air arcade? Not really fun when you spawn and a fighter is sitting right above your spawn at very high altitude, and either you try to climb and kill them, lose all your energy and become food for them, or you try to ignore them and go away and get dive-shot and you can’t do much. Really annoying

The Chi-Nu is utterly painful to play and outlcassed by every single tank at 3.3 in GRB.

It has no redeeming qualities, and should be 3.0.

I’ve been saying this for what feels like an eternity.

Whoever decided to make the J32B, J29F and J29A repair costs to 11,823 SL, 12,652 SL and 13,060 SL respectively should go and see a doctor because these planes are hilariously undertiered and every match having to pay well over 10 grand is just rough for vehicles as underperforming as these.

The J32B needs to be 9.0 ASAP it is abysmal to play at 9.3.

It would easily be the best 9.0, but it’s also no on par with other 9.3 aircraft.

We need decompression, and Gaijin refuses to do that.

Recent BR changes ruined any chance of decompression ever happening. How’s everyone’s hopes on this game?

Already lost any hopes since Harriers comes to game.
