but don’t u need to have a Statshark account to make other players be able of looking ur stats? i have found some players that have never heard about StatShark.
You don’t need an account

“Level 100 players on low BR” don’t sit in BMPT or 2S38.
Big issue with statshark is how it weighs things.
Namely it weights win rate too much in certain modes whwre individual contribution is less than stellar (including ability to join games well in progress that are guaranteed losses) and score.
I have seen people with like 0.5 k/d but lots of score from base bombing or airfield suicide bombs and lack of opposition get pretty stat shark colours… (ive even seen purple before!)
While a k/d of 1.14-1.31 gets you borderline blue/green.
Also jets vs props are treated under the same hood when bvr combat has 0 transfer with flying a ww2 prop in a dogfight and vice versa (altho prop has some transfer to jets in the act of flying being harder in a prop but irrelevant given sas and missiles).
A better markernis looking at the vehicle list on statshark and comparing someone’s specific vehicle against someone else’s specific vehicle either in raw stats or vehicle rating.
Use the sessions tab to approximate the last month performance.

Issue with that is that bots are counted as kills too
Ideally you’d use a combination of different things to estimate person’s skill level, recent sessions + overall stats (which is not affected by bot kills) and generally what they seem to know about the game in a conversation is how I tend to estimate skill level.
It’s not fully accurate, but it’s the best I got
Only in the service record for individual vehicles.
The KpB ratio (Kill-per-Battle) counts just player kills.
Just to let you know, level and k/d mean just nothing. Tbh I always struggled to understand this obsession with stats and “skill level”. I am a lvl 100, I have MILLIONS of SL so most of the times I just play careless, I don’t mind if I get shot or if I lose my vehicles just by crashing into the dirt.
Maybe it’s an unknown concept for most of you, but there are players interested in playing the game, having fun and not giving a damn crap about stats and that’s really toxic (and among the reasons that made me stop playing this game for almost 2 years)

I cant see a way they could put in any sort of real way to separate highly skilled players from low ones, and honestly i don’t see it as an issue at all.
It was done the other way around: Separate the low ones from the regular and good players at the start.
But this had several problems:
-
The moment when the separation ended, new players suddenly experienced all hell to break loose. They were used to be king of the hill at that time, now they were trash of the match.
-
People started new accounts to have fun with the newbs.
-
New players deliberately avoided the exit conditions and played over 1000 matches in the newbie zone, creating the problem again that the zone should actually avoid.
As a consequence, the zone is gone.
Yeah i feel like the way it is now is fine. low tier is generally easy to learn and people get better as they play and learn the game.
Putting people in a box seems like a bad idea overall
Fun in War Thunder, wow
Others have fun at the expense of your fun, and vice-versa
Avoid competitive games where one side can lose.
im not lvl 100
but if I play at low BRs I try to limit myself.
Bombers, strike planes and overtiered planes is what I mostly play.
If I play a fighter I look for opponents of my same level.
Dude, if you can’t afford to lose, don’t play
It isn’t about losing
A lot of the lucky/good games that I get usually end up with my team losing
It’s about the 0003 games, that’s what isn’t fun
Its a problem of non-existing balance by rank. Its obvious that newbies need to have their own baby pool to swing around until they get to know the game mechanics at least to some extent. Tho as i know, Gaijin already did implement such. Thou have to play with bots and low lvl players untill you reach rank 2. That doesnt work if you play with your friend tho.
On the contrary: i didnt buy, grind or get in an event the low tier machines to not play them because i would hurt newbies.
I play low tier/mid tier because I like ww2 stuff and hate modern stuff thats it. Not because I wanna hone my stats on it. I dont seal club.
I get that there are newbies. But there always been experienced players too. Thats just how WT works even when I started.
I dont really play seriously anyway. I am just blasting metal or classical music and charge rather than playing safe.

What are “0003” games?
0 Kills, 0 Assists, 0 Zone Captures and 3 Deaths
Can remove assists anyway because it’s not fun getting like 5 assists and 0 kills

High rank players in low BR’s really isn’t a problem at all
