i’ll put this here, this should not be even an idea especially if you think about the type 64 light tank in the chinese tech tree since that’s from the year 1975 which would make it a higher br than the t-72 and the M60A1 with the AOS upgrade
Its not like its lacking a powerful cannon or anything
for 1943-45 it’s a good cannon…not for 1975 keep in mind it’s just an M18 turret strapped onto an m42 duster hull with not much changes and you want it to fight M60 AOS, M48a5, T-64As, and the bloody LEOPARD 2K (it’s a 1973 prototype) in a downtier and it would be a higher BR than the MBT/KPZ-70 series oh god don’t even get started on a full uptier where it will face M1 abrams, T-80Bs, Gepards , Merkava 1s, M3 bradley and BMP-2…
They could have Tiers count as eras (more or less) or generations … and lock down what the vehicles meet. For example, a t6 10.3 wouldn’t ever meet a t7 10.3. This way you can place higher the vehicles that would be OP to never meet vehicles that would be garbage , and have historical MM as well…
But yeah… most players/gamers can solve such “issues” with 2 mins thinking… GJ (a whole company) can’t in years…
Or they can but making you pay is better…
It would be interesting if, at least in ARB, there were an option to use lower-BR aircraft in higher-BR matches. For instance, I prefer using the F4U-1A (BR 2.7) in 4.3 BR matches (which is roughly its historical BR). While you can simply pair a lower-BR tank with tanks at your desired BR level, doing the same with aircraft in ARB is completely impossible unless you are playing in a squad.
