How would this work with assists, or in ground games CAPs?
Players using certain vehicles might have few kills but a lot of assists (think UK solid shot or Heat) and in ground the lighter tanks might get a lot of their scoring from CAPs and scouting.
KD is only a small part of the ground scoring. I’ve seen players in battles with 6 or 7 kills and 0 or 1 death. But their team lost because they would not leave their camping spot, even when enemy team had all 3 caps. Are they “good players”?
Yeah, of course, that’s the very foundation of training, lol. Training with better players to gain knowledge.
But I’m sure when that happens to you, you just rage and don’t look any further, so you stay bad. Whereas if you used your brain to learn from your mistakes and capitalize on your defeats, you’d watch the replay, for example, to understand how such a situation arose.
You need to work on your situational awareness. For example, maybe someone got spawn-killed just before and you didn’t see it, but you spawned anyway?
How do you play yourself? Do you give information, ping enemies, help allies, try to learn the maps, vehicles, weak spots?
Or do you just rage while waiting for everything to fall into your lap?
Yup. You don’t get better by surrounding yourself with nublets. Another reason it’s good to see experienced players welcoming new players to the game at low-tier.
Well if they’re starting a new nation I’m OK with it, at least if you level 100 and doing low tier for fun, don’t bring full line up, and give the newbie a chances.
And level based matchmaking in warthunder will not work, in some server mainly (SA) it took 1-2 minutes to get a match
Some people seem to not realize that if you are an average/below average player that any system like this would probably make their games worse. In many games, there are a few players who are well below average in skill, and with a system like this then people who struggle a bit in the current set up wont get those easy kills like they do now.
I will maintain my opinion that the current system is perfectly fine as it is. Some games will have very good players, others will have many poor players. I used to be much worse at this game than i am now, because i learned better tactics over time. I feel like i would have learned less with some kind of skill based matchmaker.
