So what ended up happening? Did they listen to some of the feedback? Or did they do what they normally do and just go “okay guys we hear you” and not do anything, and still group on AB instead of RB like a lot of people were asking for?

Besides the fact that going from AB to RB Battle Ratings wouldn’t exactly be that much better (a bit, but I still don’t think it’d be the solution); they essentially did nothing more than what they already wrote at the beginning of this thread.

This some BS excuse the the D-9 is 5.7 in both RB and SB on the other hand the A-5/U12 is 4.7 in both of RB and SB plus the D-9 is better than the A-5/U12 in everything the D-9 have better performance it’s faster, turn betrer and clim better it has better armament and bombs.
The D-9 should go back to its folder with the D-12 and the A-5/U12 should be foldered with the A-5 and the A-8.
In regards of moving ALOT of vehicles down to Tier 2.
Could it be of interrest of both the community and the dev team to either remove the tier lock on dailys and special task. Maybe even events too!
It seemed like alot of players was not too happy about the relocation of the vehicles.

And of course, they didn’t listen.
Foolish.

From players’ perspective it’s much better. You want to grind to top tier asap - you skip foldered vehicles that are only extra for your lineup. You want something more for your lineup - you research it at reduced cost. Sure there might be some issues when the brs are adjusted, but that’s the most grind reducing solution for players.
You all literally have tanks in this game, that have Marine Corp versions, but for some reason they were never added, but now you want to split a tree, continue to uptier a tank that is over BR’d and fighting tanks that can 1 shot it because you people have no clue how to research American Armor?
If you didn’t realize: Every single tank in the entire game fights enemies that can oneshot it. That has nothing to do with armour research, but with how the gameplay is set up. A tank that can’t be oneshot by anything while it oneshots everyone else would be a terrible experience for anyone fighting it. WT is still an arcade game, that tries to be somewhat realistic where its feasible in compliance with the gameplay, not a 100% accurate mil sim
Did they recently change the BR level (not rank) of some tanks?
Specifically Russian…
Could have sworn my T34-85 (D-5T) was BR 5.0. Now it’s 5.3
The IS-1 used to be 5.3 and now it’s 5.7 on the research tree
And my BRT-ZD is 5.7 - but I’m 99% it was not 5.7 a week ago…
yep all IS have moved up a BR which is trash because the IS2,3,6 now can face early coldwar tech
How are you on the forum and didnt see the recent posts about the BR changes for October, and the announcement that they were patched in yesterday?
IS-1 and BTR-ZD got moved up yesterday, the T-34-85 (D-5T) has been at 5.3 for a long time now, though.
First off, I just want to say before I get into the negative, there has been a tremendous amount of positive lately that the devs have done for the player base. Some the player base asked for and some the devs took it upon themselves to implement. So credit where it’s due, that was awesome and I want to say thank you. What comes next is not directed at anyone and I completely assume these changes were made with the best of intentions so I just want to make it clear I’m not attempting to drag anyone down into the mud. Plus there are some big benefits to a lot of the changes especially for those still working through the trees. So again awesome job on that.
But Yeah honestly the moving of vehicle’s to rank 2 is 95% of what I don’t like about these changes. The rest is basically a non-issue compared to this (for me). Moving vehicles to rank 2 and locking them underneath the requirement level rank 3 for tasks and events means you may as well just remove them from the game once a player reaches rank 3 because the only people that end playing them more than a one off once a month for laughs are try hards and stat ****** that are too worried about their stats taking a drop to move up to where the other competitive players are and stop clubbing. Otherwise for the vast majority of players they never get touched again and honestly that’s kinda sad because as of right now there is a lot and I mean a lot of great vehicles that you’ve moved to rank 2. All of the work that goes into them in research and modeling and everything else just to essentially relegate them to the dustbin of WT, never to be utilized again except a quick stepping stone for new players, seems like a terrible waste. Then not to mention there’s all sorts of issues with it that just don’t make sense from a linear standpoint. I understand why you’re not moving premiums down and that’s a good thing…no it’s a great thing. Please don’t ever change that, please! For instance though, you took the F6F-5 away from the American and French trees and moved it to rank 2. But the Hellcat Mk II is still rank 3 in the British. All while each of them shares the same BR of 3.0. This was actually a massive hit to the American and French Naval forces trees, as this was a very good aircraft at delivering torpedoes. So just that one change means in essence you’ve taken away the ability to reliably play those nations when you get the (kill a enemy with a torpedo delivered by an aircraft) task. Yes I know there’s other aircraft. But not as good at that BR and you moved them down. Let me say that again, not as good at that BR and you moved them down. This is the type of instance that I reference when I say there’s a lot of issues created with this latest move that just don’t make a lot of sense and I think even aesthetically or just from a clear cut easy for everyone to understand logical standpoint it’s just ugly and disjointed. Just look at all of the explanations needed at the top of this post. I have to believe there has to better way to handle this for all sides involved. We’ve had some really good things happen here lately. I’d really like to see that continue and not get back to a one sided conversation. I’m a realist too, I see some requests that are way out there and have no place. But this is something that I think affected a large portion of the playerbase and to put it simply it sucks every time something you like to play that completes a good lineup gets demoted to rank 2, where let’s face it it’s essentially useless now because most players are focused on bangin tasks and events out. The game benefits the most, both play wise and bringing in new and retaining players when everyone was working together, let’s get back to that again because these changes just seem off compared to everything else good that’s happened lately.

Yeah, I honestly agree with almost everything you just wrote…
I like to fly sim, I like to fly WW2 planes in sim. But I can’t justify flying those planes anymore, because I don’t progress in the battlepass and I certainly will not progress far in the TT.

Even high tier god shafted with this as they made some vehicles unplayable or forced to drag lesser tanks up or go up itself to brs it wasn’t meant to be played at (in game)
