SU-30 premiums, gaijin’s absolutely garbage BR and matchmaking system, their thirst for money, etc.

I can explain what happened:
it is called “Gaijin balance”.

Only real matchmaker rule is
“Max 4 vehicles per team of highest br available” as far as we know, which is still true here as only 4 su30s i can see
Everything else is random matchmaker of +/-1.0 br so it suffers when one vehicle gets spammed and there is basically no other vehicles at 13.3 that could be on your team (f16a adf exists but doesnt get much use)
Except we had an F-4S and F-4J. They were in a squad together. 12.0 to 13.3 is beyond the +/-1.0 rule.
They mightve had another guy in the squad?
Like i have seen minor issues in the matchmaker generally from client server desyncs where the server thinks youre queued up in a different lineup to the one selected causing incorrect br matchmaking but thats rare and quite conditional
No. They were a duo. I was solo. I saw them at 12.0 and assumed it was a 13.0 game, but we had no 13.0 teammates, which I thought was weird. Then I saw a premium Su-30 name tag pop up. I was unsure if it was 13.0 or 13.3 at that point so when the match was over I double checked, and yes indeed it was 13.3. I’m still trying to figure it out.
Edit: Misspelling
Su33 is 13.0, i think you mean su30
You are correct. Fat finger.
So what might have happened is they initally selected 12.3s-13.3s but then changed their mind last second and moved to the 12.0s and queued up before the server realised and then they got put in with 12.0s in place of your teams 13.3s or something, similar has happened to me before
If you really want you could file a bug report
It’s not worth the effort. The game is called Bug Thunder for a reason. They almost never get corrected.
Thats because there is a massive backlog of relatively minor bugs with bigger ones mixed in, the CBR managers are overworked because of how many not real/completely erroneous bug reports get filed
They do a lot of bug fixing still and something like this is a somewhat significant issue if its true
play 14.3s to bully the premium menace
I have this unfortunate bug in where I am always fully uptiered.
it only goes to 14.7, it’s impossible not to be drawn down often I’ve had games where I’m the only 14.3 in a team of su30s vs su30s
This has happened before, and I often just curse matchmaker, and then go fly SB. Then again it’s also fun to find Su-30 spam while flying, say, the Rafale. At the end of the day, I check the aircraft in a match and bow out if it’s say…a Mirage IIIC facing F-4EJ ADTWs or my beloved Alicat fighting EF-2000s (The IRIAF aircraft a 12.7 F-14A Early which has been repeatedly up-tiered instead of correctly modeled w/o Fakours) I’ll take risk a 10 minute) crew lock rather than waste time investing myself in a match that’s only success is living at best, or cause Snail Rage and waste 3-15 min of my time.
As much as we complain, and as much as we complain and are in the right - Gaijin is a company in business to make money. They have a limited number of people to put fires out, and fixing problems like this isn’t going to really make them any more profit (…say the way new battle modes will - which are in the offing from the looks of Nuclear Esc.)
Don’t hate The Snail (too much) hate the game (capitalism)
My luck is awful. I have counted and i get a full down tier in about 1 out every 120 games. 90 percent are full uptiers, the rest are a mixed range.
What brs did you play while counting?
Between 12.3 and 14.7.
Haha, thats not a surprise then
Thats like the most popular and most co.pressed air brs
Plus very few 11.3s so no downtiers to there
