[Discussion] Balance, Bias, Matchmaking and Battle Ratings

Stona_wt is quite good at covering topics.

For example, the Yak1b is an aircraft that was upgraded towards the end of 1942. In simulation warfare, it’s tier 3.3, while in the German tree, it’s equivalent to the FW 190 A1 :=)

As a tank, the T90A entered service in 2004. We’re playing against a 1985 Leopard A4.

For example, the 109 K4 is upgraded towards the end of 1944, at tier 5.7. Although it’s the same equivalent at the time, it’s also the monster called the F4U 4B, which entered service during the Korean War.

For example, the French AMX, with its 4-second reload time, is up against the 6.7 Tiger 2. It’s more effective than the Peugeot and Citroen.

So why are these guys playing the German tree always competing against vehicles that were produced much later and have much better performance?

I demand justice. These should be taken into consideration, at least in simulation mode.

I remember when tanks were first added to the game. Back then, there were T-34-85s up against Panzer 4s. Hahaha, what a terrible time.

Just goes to show you how good Leopard 2A4, Bf-109K4, and Tiger 2 are compared to those inferior vehicles.

Remember, the newer something is for the BR it is, the worse it is.
The older something is for the BR it is, the better it is.

Because the game is somewhat too compressed along the whole tree.
Take your Tiger II example. German 6.7 is decent at 6.7 but gets exponentially worse for every .3 uptier and exponentially better for every .3 downtier. It’s just impossible to stay in the same timeframe when capabilities evolve so quickly and differently between 10 different nations

When it was introduced doesn’t matter. For example, the PzH2000 entered service in 1998 and its the same BR as the 1944 (?) IS-6. The Gepard was in service in 1976 and the M48A2GA2 was later (iirc), the IS-7 was made in 1945. What you should be complaining about is decompression, not when it was produced.

I don’t know why that freak called PZ2000 was added. You’re right about that.

Also, Gaijin has done a good job of “balance” by keeping the levels of those Is3, Is6, and Is7 monsters high.

Can you imagine playing with Tiger 2 against these monsters?

Historically speaking, the Tiger 2 would’ve seen at least the IS-3, likely the IS-4 and possibly the IS-6

Honestly no, they all are a little over br’d and decompression needs to happen for them to be more viable again.

I’d rather play my T-44-100 than any of those anytime soon, as I have a better shell, better mobility, good armor, and a better reload.

Tiger 2 10.5cm should become 7.3
T29 should become 7.3
T34 should be 7.0
And the T26E5 should be 7.0

Or drop the IS-3 to 7.0, the IS-6 to 7.3 & the IS-4 to 7.3

Puma go away from 1_1 sim lineup
Hellcat go away from 3_1 sim lineup

Make The brenus sit at 8.3

Well several AA like the Bosvark, Yestervark and PBV 301 would become near useless if they had to fight aircraft around the era of their Inception.

Also Concept 3 fighting M1A1s wouldn’t go well.

(Also while British built, the Strikemaster mk.88 is New Zealand operated, not that it changes performance or anything.)

It’s because Gaijin has never balanced around date, it has always balanced around capabilities. The only place where this is remotely comparable is top tier, but then we see the issue that Russia is at least decades behind nato and this is with Gaijin holding back NATO tanks

I’d kind of like to see The T95 go down to 6.7 in RB.

Would also like to see the T32 and T32E1 dropped down a little bit. T32 to 7.0 and T32E1 to 7.3 respectively.
