[Discussion] Balance, Bias, Matchmaking and Battle Ratings

You play Arcade, that’s the problem. I play myself a long time Arcade, but never would play it again now.

Slowly trying RB more and more but, not only i am slow, also cant believe there they did not hoaxing…

Naval can be decompressed up to 9.7 before Igla-level anti-air is required.

I would argue that playing aircraft in naval should put you in extreme danger, and the existence of (to my knowledge) multiple jet-powered aircraft with guided anti-surface weapons seems to justify stronger anti-aircraft weaponry on ships. Your suggestion of further decompression, i agree with wholeheartedly, mostly due to coastals / low tier destroyers being forced to fight light cruisers with (comparatively) extraordinary firepower and armor practically every game.

The thing is none of the bombers up to 9.7 have weapons that can deal with the new BBs.
The new BBs require a minimum of 4 2000 pound bombs to notably damage, and the aircraft either lack the precision or the bomb load.

Are the Canberra equivalents really that bad nowadays? (I haven’t tried them vs ships recently)
Still, guided air - surface weapons are still present at current naval BRs, and the specific Igla Anti Air you mentioned would have to be on a lighter armored, and more role-specific AA ship / normal soviet 1950-60 cruiser.

Canberra Mk2 is the best bomber until anything with 4x 2000 pound GBUs.

I find it funny how F117 now gets Iowa beside it.

Can’t as on naval battle F117 becomes 9.3

I know, but squad. Also not that much a difference.

Is a difference because as Iowa is 8.7, the maximum aircraft that can come with Iowa is 9.0. Gaijin moves jets with guided bombs and missiles to 9.3 because players can’t spawn 9.3 aircraft in random battles.

They really gotta do something about these damned uptiers, because I can get that a few jets in rank 4 battles is manageable, but being thrown with your warbird into a battle where 3/4 of players have rank 5 jets is NOT fun, especially when you enabled the n00% booster you just got by some miracle
What am I supposed to do when almost every enemy I encounter outspeeds me, outclimbs me and outturns me, and every enemy warbird gets destroyed by my jet teammates before he gets to me?

The Russian IS - 2 should get a higher BR. I’m always dying from it even when angling with the tiger E.

U should die, because for that shot he payed 20 seconds on reload. And it is already 6.3/6.7, where its armour is perfectly penetrable by most tanks.

the 1944 varinants armor is super fickle for example i hit his optic with long 88 and it only damaged optic and didnt penetrate so

definetly need higher BR for top tier current 13.7s should be 15.0 and 14.0s should be 16.0

this would allow decomp of lower BR

  • yes to 15.0-16.0
  • no

Why hit at his optic? Shoot lower glacis and it is near 100% pen. Plus the slow reload, the turret weakness, the only thing better than Tiger II is reverse speed, and they are same BR. Also complaining about being killed in a tiger I is ridiculous since THAT IS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN

he was hull down and i was jagpanther at range he hit me after and one tapped me which is crazy

Which should mean his hull is penetrable, 120mm at low angles is doable for long 88mm, and otherwise he can’t hit u either, so take your time with the turret.

no he was hull down hiding his hull only exposing his turret i hit his flat spott and it volumetrics the spot you hit when there reversing
