I do not play pvp over 8.0, because it is just a shitshow for me, but i have quite a few 10.0+ vehicles, that i use in PVE. And while even 3 people could win those matches, i get nothing but either hardcore wehraboos, or these new players as teammates. And i am totally serious here, i would be better off alone, than with them.
I also talk to people playing pvp at those BRs, and they pretty much say what i do/did here.
Thing is I’m not against people having premiums or squadron vehicles if they actually have a bit of a lineup to go with it - they don’t even have to be good at the game but at least have more than 1 vehicle to bring :D
Didn’t know they were rank 8, but they aren’t 11.7/12.3 which is the top BR. Technicality for sure but I don’t disagree with your argument.
As I said above, I would consider the highest BR “top tier” but that’s me.
Reading comprehension tends to help - Ranks don’t really relate to top tier imo, they’re just a rough guideline to allow the restrictions that prevent rushing down one line otherwise why is a Rank 8 premium not 11.7 and 12.3 respectively?
I get why people are salty about this as they want team mates who can hold their own but you can’t really expect a company not try and make profit of a game.
