How Does This Happen? 5.0 Vehicle in a 7.3 ARB Match

Sometimes (like just now) I see low-low tier planes in higher tiers I thought they weren’t able to spawn into and certainly have no business being in. It’s annoying b/c they’re effectively useless as teammates. How are players able to do this? I don’t even understand how it’s possible. It shouldn’t be a thing imo.

His squadron player was playing a higher battle rating plane forcing him to play same battle rating.

Kooky. That shouldn’t be allowed.

all the way to the right you see numbers, if 2 players have the same number, they are in the same squad for that match. if the number is on a golden shield icon, they are in a player squad, witch means they play together, and if player A uses a high tier vehicle and player B uses a low tier vehicle, they wil be put in the BR of player A

So basically one squad member is helping out another to power-spade his vehicle at the expense of throwing the match. Or compromising it, anyway. Wonderful >.<

not even helping, i do this sometimes too, just as a kind of prank

To that point, tho, in this case, the other “No. 1 Gold Shield icon” player, natas66, isn’t listed as being in a squadron. I’m so confused.

Inb4 muh fun

he is the other player in the squad

I thought the squad was the thing you joined - like in jeffery330’s case it’s -BadCo-. Seeing as natas66 isn’t in -BadCo-, I guess squadrons weren’t what I thought they were? What the heck am I in then: [GIGA]? I thought that was the squad.

It should always be allowed.
This isn’t an arcade game with such artificial restrictions.

yes they are squaded with an f80

It’s not a big problem if the uptiered plane is handled by a competent player.
Here is an La-9 at 7.7 from today:

I regularly bring the Ki-27, D4Y3, and F3F to 4.0-6.0, and can get kills consistently.
The Yak 2 KABB can take care of itself at 4.0.
The J7W1 can do fairly well at 7.3, and so does the P-51H.

Here’s a bit of video evidence that props can work if a decent pilot is in one:

It doesn’t help them out spading IIRC - would help getting “God Mode” or similar

You don’t have to be in a squadron to squad up with someone - 2 different things - you can squad with other people by creating or joining a squad.

He just got confused by a post from another player, that called a squad a squadron (second post).

its kinda confusing, -badco- in this example is the “squadron”, whilst the number is the “squad”, im not sure but i thought that when 2 ppl in the same squadron join the same match, they are infact also put in the same squad


Better?
