Is 8.3-8.3? Or 9.3 I’m confused

I have been staying away from top tier a lot lately and playing 8.0 and 8.3 and I had to test this because of how bad it is. So I played exactly 30 matches all in USA and I’m not even joking 27 out of those 30 matches were full of nothing but 9.0 and 9.3 of course 8.7 as well but I have my max BR set to 8.3 and I’m like all I see is BMD4s also beglight panzers and even worst plenty of leopard A1s and even more so tons of t55s this is supposed to be a 1 rank above me yet every single match thier is upwards of half the players with tanks 1 rank above all with darts and and the premium garbage with gen 2 thermals and darts.

Here I am in my little m60a1 with my little heat FS shooting at composite armor no LRF no thermals or my little m3 Bradley and my gen 1 thermals that can get penned with a machine gun and I’m like “ok” I can’t do this anymore, it was just pure insanity the entire time and I’m going like this how is this even fair? How is the snail considering this match making even in the realm of fairness. Why is a BMD4 9.3? The Russians just have an insane rank 6 which trickles down into the rank 5 and it just crushes any the tanks at the same BR and gaijin has made 0 attempt to try and fix this overwhelming catastrophe of a BR range.

I’m not just complaining to complain, I am generally just like wtf at this point, there’s no reason why I should be seeing a bmd4 in my little m60 or a t55am1 in my m551 like, most of those Russian and German tanks all need to be moved to 9.7 and the t55am1 and all dart shooting Leo’s go to 9.7 or anything with gen 2 thermals and a lrf moved to 9.7 if they can’t balance them, flat out remove them. Sometimes it’s just not worth it. I love war thunder but I also like a decently balanced game and they need fix this up tier issue it’s not a matter of skill if I’m outclassed in every parameter of the match. Skill or no skill there has to be better balence than this

Vehicle rank doesn’t affect the matchmaking only research efficiency, battle rating does affect directly the matchmaking. PlayStation Summer Sales was announced today, it’s expected that people will get a player favorite vehicle, in this case BMD-4M if I’m not wrong which isn’t the whole problem according to your post.

Put yourself in their situation, even if the matchmaking is somewhat giving said vehicles some advantage of constant downtiers as you said in 30 out of 27 matches, would be flowers and candies facing a Abrams in a T-55AM-1 for example.

The problem you described can be easily fixed with a proper decompression of battle rating, maybe expanding to battle rating 14.0 should do the work however I highly doubt Gaijin will propose such huge jump from battle rating 12.0 to battle rating 14.0 which could improve the matchmaking health for some and maybe not for others.

Try playing XM-803 to see how the tables turns and how good this vehicle see if perhaps you face full uptiers you’ll see what it could be moving all those vehicles a battle rating higher rather than an decompression. Your argument is certainly vague and instead of a healthy solution you want to straight up remove said vehicles if they don’t fit your ideal of balanced game.
