In this update, we’ve added free tanks to matches with BR 9.3 or higher. This is a measure to prevent players from dropping out, but there are no particular changes. (We believe this strengthens the role of distributing SP to opponents.)
The issues are that free tanks are distributed unmodified, there is a large disparity in the strength of high-BR and low-BR vehicles within a match due to performance differences, and the number of vehicles of the same BR on both teams is not consistent. (To a certain extent, this isn’t a major issue, but there are matches where the opponent has a high-BR vehicle and you don’t, so we added this feature.)
We believe these issues discourage players from competing and cause them to drop out of matches because they find it difficult to earn rewards.
Therefore, to resolve these issues, we propose revising the BR matching system and adjusting the BR of each vehicle. Changing the current BR ±1.0 matching to BR ±0.0 will narrow the power gap between high-BR and low-BR vehicles. It will also allow vehicles that are difficult to adjust their BR to be placed in an appropriate BR, such as those that are powerful in high-BR matches but weakest in low-BR matches.
Example: Current
BR ±1.0 matches (8.0-9.0, 9.0-10.0, etc.)
Improvements
Matches with a BR difference of only one (8.7-9.0, 9.0-9.3, etc.)
Or
Matches with a BR difference of only two (8.3-9.0, 9.0-9.7, etc.)
As mentioned above, this will narrow the power gap between top and bottom teams, making the difference in the number of vehicles in the same BR less of an issue. (Of course, this assumes that vehicles are placed in the appropriate BR.)
