Cause there’s a 4 vehicle limit per side that can be the full BR.
Meaning 12 vehicles are below X BR.
Thunderskill is less than 2% of battles in a month, and is thus an anecdote when used to portray a narrative.
Oh, and <2% is a conservative estimate.
It could be lower than 0.5%.
This man is getting more uptiers than downtiers.
4 is 25% of the match. In order to have a 50:50 full downtier uptier statistic, your BR needs to be 25% of the population below you, and the BR above you needs to be 25% of your BRs population.
All searching for matches at the same time.
Welcome to games that have a hard limit on how many vehicles of a certain BR higher than you can be in the match.
No because you get frustrated and when you get frustrated by being defeat from better vehicles which are premium . It will take a certain time for you to accept the fact and will spend money to make yourself feel better . So no , you’ll get uptiered fully everytime . I play at 10.3 and all my games 99% are 11.3
BR spread should be 0.7 with the current match maker, or decompressed 30-33% through out. The performance difference I found in aircraft was just outclassing planes 1.0 below them for the most part.
This would also have an effect on causing people not to just auto quit the match at the start because they are frustrated. Probably a better solution to that stupid punish timer that really doesnt do anything for anyone who has 2 nation lineups or more.
I’d argue the fact that 9.3+ gets perma-uptiered to strong missiles and all aspect missiles is the reason the F-104 and MiG-19 are at criminally low BRs. On paper and in practice in a downtier they are absurd but they are always uptiered anyway.
Again, what data point shows 9.3 is a more popular BR than 10.3? I’m still waiting for some tangible evidence to this point. I’ve shown evidence to my theory 10/10.3 is far more popular than 9.3, but it was dismissed as anecdotal (?). So present something better.
The way I’m seeing it, why threads like this continue to get made and why some of the top content creators lost their collective minds over the recent BR changes dropping the meta/major nation cold war jets versus bumping the broken 9.3s…is that a majority of planes in the 9.3 – 10.3 and 9.0 – 10.0 MM queue are NOT 9.0 or 9.3 but 10.0, thus sucking up all of the 9.0s to fill games.
We saw this time and time again with the Ju-288 nonsense, their popularity pulling everything at 5.0 up to fill games due to the sheer number in the MM queue. (We also see this during events with the Wyvern.) This eased within the last year or so when they decided to get rid of the weird 6v6 GE/Axis vs world MM lobby–but it was a very real and commonly grieved about issue which continues to plague 9.0 / 9.3 planes and NOW 8.7 planes of minor nations who were left behind in the recent BR changes.
I’ve read this 20 times and have no idea what you’re trying to say. Can you draw me a picture or something, because as I’m reading it, it doesn’t make mathematical/statistical in application.
Whats funny is I am pretty sure 10.3 also gets sucked into 11.3 most of the time and 11.3 usually gets sucked into 12.0/12.3. So basically everybody’s matchmaking experience is going to be shit all the way from 9.3 - 11.3. The only not-awful top tier BR that isn’t 12.7 is 11.7/12.0. If you are not at those specific BRs all you could do is spread 'em and hope they brought oil.
What sucks the most is that a lot of the vehicles around those brackets are balanced around their full downtiers which they very very rarely get to see anyway.
The Mig-21F-13 is a perfect example. Against anything 10.0-10.3 it is helpless in an even engagement. But if it gets a full downtier it becomes literally untouchable and you can run circles around everyone with impunity. Having such a vehicle at 9.3 seems reasonable on paper but when the majority of the games end up being uptiers (against all-aspect missiles) it feels like an awful vehicle to play, despite being comparable to its BR peers.
