Might as well make the 13.0 planes 13.7 or 14.0 at this point

Ive got around to play the columbian kfir lately and ive got generous amount of downtiers. Same with KWS during the winter event.
Might be due to different timezones and active playerbase at that time?
forever
I played the f14b and mirage 4000 and both get uptierd alot

That definitely has something to do with it.
I have recently experimented with queue’ing for different regions and at certain times of day I definitely get less uptiers that way. Works pretty decently for 12.7 ARB but not one bit for 13.0 so far.
If you’re willing to share what time (+timezone) you queue 13.0 and on which regional servers (EU, CIS, NA) I’ll be very thankful. I will certainly give it a try myself
13.0 is the old 11.7 that got permanently uptiered to 12.3 or 12.7 games.
We can only just hope for decompression to get it fixed, or at least move the issue to a higher bracket.
I play on EU servers, GMT+1. During week its usually few games between 7 and 10 PM, weekends it can be anywhere from 10AM to 2AM, usually in two hour session.
winter event was special as i took vacation + christmas so i played pretty much all day.
I have long since given up trying to upgrade the F-15A, I think all planes have big problems at 13.0, with the exception of the Su-33.
Thanks for your reply!
At the times mentioned in the EU region it’s definitely filled with uptiers for me.
I don’t really understand how it can be so different for you.
I could theoretically log my sessions over the next week and track whenever its up or downtier if neccesary, but i currently play air rb only occasionaly.
i wanted to play the mirage 4k but most guys on my squad disc told me not to bother since its uptiered to 14.0 a lot and isnt competitive :C
I see. Thanks for your offer but that’s quite a bit of effort for something that is not going to convince Gaijin one bit.
They have the numbers themselves and they choose to deliberately frustrate their playerbase.

When they release 15.0 and all the 14.0 start getting sucked into uptiers too. This has been the cycle for years.
Great, that means some resistance is long overdue
We can either sit idly by or call out the developer for a bad game mechanic
this wont be an issue if BR cap was 14.7 amd we live in 0.7 matchmaking bracket

F-15A is currently unusable dogshit with IR missiles that will MAYBE hit if the enemy doesn’t know how to evade them, no HMD, and one of the worst radar missiles at its br, while you have 240 CM they fire downwards making evasion more difficult
13.0 is what iv mostly played the last week. Its not as bad as i thought- J11 is awesome up/ down. F3 late also slaps.
I used to hate on 13.0 but the downtiers make it worth especially the J11- the ace printer 😀
Until they create a game mode with a vast map spanning several hundred square kilometers, with various objectives that bring a simulation- and tactics-based gameplay, there will be no real purpose for certain types of aircraft like ground attackers, interceptors, or bombers.
As long as they stick with this outdated system, unfortunately high-tier ARB is just a joke.
Even SB suffers from the same issue, although it’s slightly less noticeable — but the maps there are still way too small.
