I think the 3.7-7.0 BR Range has Become a Mess?

I’ve started grinding a bunch of different TTs lately, and with the recent BR changes, this whole bracket feels like a mess. I’m seeing KV-1S’s facing Tiger IIs, and tanks like the Tiger I H and E play more like medium tanks due to constant uptiers. The balance feels off, and the matchups don’t make much sense anymore.

BR compression seems worse than ever, making battles frustrating and inconsistent. Personally, I think these new BR placements are horrid.

How do you feel about the state of this BR range? Have these changes affected your experience?

Getting taken out by artillery like the Bakan is a pain.I one shot Tiger twos etc and just imagine how pissed off the opposition must be ,taken out by a gun that didn’t exist when the Tiger 2 did.
King Tiger, you are King of nothing in this game 😁

It’s a mess of copy paste,out of era madness and bad physics followed by bad maps.
The game really has taken a dive over the last couple of years.
I don’t see many posts on here made by people saying how much more they enjoy the game now then two or three years ago.Well apart form Avis Wisla but he is paid to …allegedly.

Idfk??? magic?? My friend and i both had the same br stuff, not even 5.0, and it still shoved us to 5.7, maybe a bug, maybe something else?

The rumored addition of the Finnish F-18 Hornet just proves how War Thunder is running out of ideas… copy-pasting instead of adding real, meaningful content. And honestly, who even says the game is better now than before? Sure, the graphics, sounds, and effects look prettier, but that’s not what makes a game fun. No amount of shiny aircraft visuals will fix the fact that War Thunder is slowly being squeezed dry. And the worst part? We’re the ones paying them to do it.

War thunder having the monopoly on being the only type of game not just featuring the mechanics it uses and realistic damage system, but also the fact you can play so many vehicles. it would be impressive if it wasnt overshadowed by the game being a, excuse the language, a real pos

At 4.7 you can certainly get into a 5.7 game.

But the lowest Tiger II is 6.7, and the highest KV-1 is 4.7, so you need to be squaded with someone with a higher BR to be facing Tiger 2’s.

Being moved up BR’s due to your squad mates is a player mistake - not a match-making issue.

idk shits strange

Something has happened f’sure - do you have a replay where this occurred?

I honestly have no idea, I know i have a memory that it happened, or it was my friend trolling me, something just happened…

Content needs to be more than just vehicles is the issue. I could see war thunder being vastly successful if they do some stuff like in ARMA or Squad.

They really need to adress major bug reports, about incorrect, ammunition, vehicles and stuff. Or just doing a month purely for br decompression, and dedicating time for that with player voting and stuff, and just making sure the game isnt sacrifising one thing to get the others, as the purple man said, “ballanced as all things should be”

I thought we’d all have figured out by now that voting is just a show of what is popular, not necessarily what is good or right!!

It’s incredible that we get postwar artilleries at those BRs but pretty much no WW2-era ones.

I’m still using WW2 CAS in some nations and seeing Miniguns : ) you can’t be up to scratch on everything when you have no premium .Its a mess any way whatever way you set your teams out with the up tier

and there art post war available.I don’t really no why they insist and even having artillery as a close range tank anyway.
