Does the majority of the playerbase like to play above 7.0?

I only grind ground tech-trees, and have almost all nations (Except Sweden and Israel) at 6.7 or above.
With Italy and UK i have higher BR (9.x and 8.x), when I play those higher BR’s every game feels the same, supper sweaty tryhard CAS rushing, 1 death leaving, stabilized 1 shot from 2km away making armor useless.

I find it very hard to enjoy anything above high mid tiers. Anyone else?

Are you a bot?

i starting avoiding 7.7+ Br it’s so awful to play very hard to find actually players who stay full game
i hope gajin find a solution or change something in matchmaking because top tier is awful to play at it’s state right now.

yes but my tolerance for those BRs is significantly lower than low tier.

The unbalanced light tanks start to become a real issue very quick past 6.7 and russian tanks beome more and more unbalanced and biased in their representation, modelling and BR (no im not just talking BMPT, its been bad for years)

My favourite tanks ever built all sit at 7.7 but that BR is the most compressed of all, you can be in a 1948 MBT and see ww2 mediums and 1980s IFVs in the same match under normal circumstances its a complete mess

I have been playing almost 12 years now. I started with 5 nations and 5 tiers, just planes.
I have had every vehicle that was “researchable” done 5 or 6 times back then(far less vehicles)
and that includes the earliest tanks a couple of times as well.
I did play what was “top tier” at the time pretty regularly.

Then they began adding more nations, and tanks to more nations, followed by helis & naval.
I can’t get the hang of helis well enough to enjoy playing them so I just avoid them . … lol.

I play planes, tanks & naval regularly, but still mainly planes.
This is the part of the game that I enjoy.

I fly in AB, mostly 4.3 - 5.3 BRs (you can find me flying 4.7 a majority of the time)
Tanks I play a little higher 4.7 - 6.7 (mainly at 5.7)
And naval I prefer Bluewater and play 6.0 and higher, I play both AB & RB for naval

I have 2,155 vehicles, far more than I can play really.
I am finishing the research on the newest RU jet they added to have that air tree
complete(again . . lol). And I am fairly close on Germany and some others.

Tanks I do not have any trees complete but do have high tier in Germany & RU
as well as some others.

For naval I lack 1 ship to finish US, Germany & RU in Bluewater and 2 for Japan.
Again, I enjoy the bigger ships and like to play 6.0 and up

I prefer the LOS(line of sight) game play over the BVR(beyond visual range) as it has
more of a “game” feel to me. I rely more on my skills than my equipment.

Don’t get me wrong, the modern stuff looks cool and goes fast
(faster is not better it’s just faster is all).

I enjoy the older vehicles more, not because they are older, but because I enjoy
that kind of game play more is all.

To each their own, I am not saying one is any better than the other, that’s personal choice.

It seems that many consider getting to and playing top tier is the object of the game.
Personally, I think the main thing is to have fun, and that means different things
to different people . . . and that’s ok.

The game has become HUGE . . . like BIGLY even . . . so many choices and things to play.

I always advise, “Find what you like to play & have fun at and . . . do that”
whatever that is… . .

Yes, I like 8.0-9.7 vehicals (and the m41)

M60’s my beloved

The real funkiller in higher tier is the grind. But if you don’t overly focus on getting a modificaton or vehichle so badly you can have fun. It helps a lot, if you play a vehichle you actually likes.

Yes, i only play 9.3 and above. from 9.3 to 10.3 i play germany and italy. From 10.7 and above i play italy and US.

Its a different battle dynamic. You need to have more knowledge of map and positions. I dont like low tiers because of how sluggish the vehicles feel

Eh, I do not like the game as much at 7.7 +
It becomes this odd rush to hide under a rock outside of some major traffic area and shoot people as they drive by. Combine that with stabilized flat shooting apfsd in ultra fast tanks and it plays a lot more like a 3D shooter than a tank sim. Especially when you consider CAS (the most unique part of this game) is in a almost ‘no fly’ zone between 9.0 - 12.0. Go ahead and sprinkle some auto cannon and close quarters maps dominance on top of that. It is fun… but not really very unique or interesting.

It sounds like you’re experiencing a common sentiment among many players who reach higher tiers in ground tech trees of this game. As players advance in tiers, they often encounter more competitive and skilled opponents, which can lead to games feeling more intense or ‘sweaty.’ This is often coupled with the introduction of advanced vehicles and technologies, such as CAS (Close Air Support) and stabilized guns, which can change the dynamics of gameplay.For many, this transition can be challenging as the slower-paced, strategic elements of the game are sometimes overshadowed by rapid engagements and high-stakes environments. One way to address this could be to switch between tiers or nations to maintain varied experiences and potentially reduce burnout. Engaging with communities or forums to share experiences and strategies can also provide new insights and make high-tier gameplay more enjoyable.Would you like me to gather more insights or data from online communities or possibly explore strategies that other players have found successful in dealing with high-tier gameplay challenges?
