Is 5.3/5.7 a void?

So I’ve been playing Germany again for the first time in a while, and I have the tree researched up to 7.7 but decided to play 5.3-5.7 and after about just under a hundred matches or so over the last week and a half I don’t think I have gotten a single down tier, at all. Every match has been a up tier and while my lineup still does fairly well and it’s not an unplayable experience, it seems really unusual to be getting this many up tiers.

For contrast when I play at 7.7 or even 8.7 I get a downtier maybe once every five or so matches. So is the 5.3/5.7 BR range just constantly getting blackholed into 6.7 or am I suffering a week long case of poor luck with the match maker? I ask because it’s been probably six months or so since I last touched the 5.3/5.7 BR range in any tree.

I think because of everyone plays germany 6.7 so u get uptiered constanly 6.7 is the most gun Br so everyone play usa, ussr germany

Fair enough I suppose. It’s a shame because I really enjoy the early Panthers and Tiger 1s, the Tiger-P variant has been an interesting tank to mess around in as well. It’d be nice to be able to at least get same tier (if that’s even a thing…?) and a downtier once in a while within that BR range.

Well u can try to play tiger 1 in uptier its really fun i killed once T-34 and T-26e5 with it and Even tiger Nr(1-50) is 6.7 so dont think about oh no its uptier think about more oh boy how hard gonna be because in downtier with tiger feels like coughing baby vs hydrogen bomb

Yeah it’s alright, just a case of why play 5.7 if I’m just gonna get 6.7 (seemingly) 100% of the time? At this point I may as well be playing 6.7 lol.

6.7 has its own problems so i preffer to play 5.7 and get 6.7 uptier other than playing 6.7 and playing against 7.7 like Is4-m Is3 ans T32e1 T32 any france tanks so i would preffer to play 5.7

5.7 is a blackhole to 6.7 as it’s one of the most popular BR. And I also agree, playing 6.7 against some 7.7 is not great either, I just finished research the Italian 8.0 lineup, boi playing Pershing against russian heavies, British stabs or French autloaders is not for the faint of heart

Also playing Pershing against cooler Pershings, even without uptier

For some reason I have the complete opposite experience regarding 5.7 and 5.3. Almost every other match if not every match I play in my Tiger I lineup is a downtier, but when I switch to the KT at 6.7 I never seemed to have had a single downtier and everyone kept feeding me HEAT shells.
