Ground, still waiting for it. Only BR to be “decompressed” was 9.3.
No other BR was decompressed, if anything, they made it slightly worse. Especially at top tier
Air…
It was a start. Though they seem to be undoing the decompress by moving things like the F-16s and Su-27 down. It was nice not fighting those in aircraft like the Tornado Gr1 or Phantom FGR2… But that is no longer the case.
If they were struggling as much as they were, they should have moved the 13.7s up to 14.0 and not moved the other down.
The 8.0-9.7 bracket is as compressed as it has ever been.
I totally agree, I do play the F16s so they are struggling, since getting ARH spammed every game is not fun at all, but still, they could have made a 14.7 bracket rather than moving things down, such as Mig23s which no one asked for? They are doing fine.
Don’t know about air, but for ground 9.0 is a little better, that’s it, it didn’t do shit for anything else, it’s still compressed, it still needs more BRs.
10.3, now 10.7, is screwed. You get loads of uptiers since the option for downtiers is gone (not many nations have 9.7) and those uptiers have drones in them (one of the reasons I loved 10.3 beforehand was you hardly ever dealt with drones).
Top tier stayed the same compressed hellscape, just with a new number.
Drones need to f*ck off to BR 15 and never come back.
12.7 at least I would say, A5/A6 at same BR I can accept, cause still similar enough, A7 though definitely a step up, plus Ariete Merkava Vt4 and Leclercs are still hanging around, 2 of which simply received the useless 5 second reload buff.
Uptiers are purely due to popularity of the BR.
If it’s “screwed” that means 10.3 - 10.7 is healthy and populace.
Top is barely compressed for ground. 2.7 still remains the most compressed ground BR.
The difference between an L/44 DM53 and L/55 DM53 doesn’t seem like a lot, but that extra penetration and velocity is absolutely important for penetrating tanks.
And even then, it’s unfair for tanks like the Merkava to not be given their actual armor because it would break the game. If we had more decompression, the 2A7 could receive the shell it actually uses. DM73.
I don’t have such a hatred to drones cause Chinese players never use them, either get a slower, half pen + 6km range hell fire, or pay more than a full JH7 CAS for a stupid slower Hellfire equivalent. The compression though I’d agree.
There’s barely any 9.7’s in the game, so hardly anyone will be playing it, there’s loads of 11.3/7’s, so 10.7 gets a lot of uptiers. This now includes drones so old 10.3 got objectively worse.
No it is 10.7-11.3 that due to all the Premiums are very populous, but the actual 10.0-10.3 suffers due to this, like how you would have almost 90% uptier for 9.3s due to the abundance of 10.0/10.3 premiums.
That doesn’t work, because 10.3 would still get uptiered since there are so many of them, the chance of a downtier especially as no one really spends loads of time on 9.3.
Yeah. 90% of the 11.3s they moved down to 11.0 only needed moving down because the F-14A was at 12.3. (and even then, only really because people werent defending properly) With it now at 12.7, none of thsoe needed moving at all.
As i said in the other thread, they shouldn’t have lowered BR’s in air, with exceptions of course.
They should have banished all the fox 3 slingers to play against each others and not against stuff which doesn’t even have fox 1.
It is just delusional that Navy/British Phantoms and furthermore F-104S.ASA should face against Flankers and Eagles or Swedish Gripen, M4K. Same goes with Mirage 5F/Nesher vs MiG-21bis, Me 262 C-2b vs F3H etc.
Reminder old 11.3s didn’t face against these current most 13.0s, except for the F-15s, until just before BR decompression.
