Major Update "Hornet Sting" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 3)

95% of players never reach toptier anyway. You are not representative.

eww top tier coastal

You may not see an issue with that, but Gaijin clearly does.

The Ariete AMV (before the 2A7HU got added) and Merkava Mk.4M had to be 12.0 even though they really have no business being there, only because they wanted these trees to have 12.0 ground vehicles.

Why do you think the 2A7s and Strv 122s haven’t been moved to 12.3 on their own? it’s not because they are so balanced at 12.0 currently.

EDIT: Bishma Mk.3 is far from being good at top tier lmao and the T-90M is already pretty mid at 12.0, also I’ll count that one when I see a picture of one in indian army service/testing.

Gaijin really needs to stop that mindset.

It is one of the biggest issues of WT, so many things would be playable if that weren’t over BRed just so Gaijin can say. “look like got a [Max BR vehclie]”

For you/some perhaps, but dont play that TT then? For me I thoroughly enjoy the game up to around 10.3 and thats a pushing it point really, usually I cap out at 9.3 even with a TT fully unlocked.

Above just, isnt really appealing. I usually hang around at 5.3-9.3 BR range for any tree I play.

IDK why those of us who dont care for top tier need to suffer for it xD

Gaijin said otherwise

When did they say so?

the problem if the tech tree would make
enough money for gaijin to keep updating it or not

Soviet Lavi/J-10 go brrr

Because Top Tier is extremely unbalanced at the present time, with 3 nations dominating all others, 4 being subpar and 3 being practically pointless; and Top Tier has been in need of balanced counterparts for over a year at this point- not just when it comes to MBT vs MBT action, but most importantly, SAM vs C*S.

Huh? They really do look similar? Wonder why.

Adding new trees with unbalanced lineups directly into that doesnt help it though, lol.

The point is if we get other TTs, like say a full india tree, it doesnt need to join that unbalanced hell lol. Just cap them at a reasonable position like 9-10.0 region. Heck it also means more focus on having filled up lines under it.

I’m just answering the question why the focus on top tier is there.

Even with new players, whenever I introduce someone to the game it’s usually “I want [top tier thing]” and “[X nation] sucks because top tier, so I won’t play it”

Personally I’d love more individual trees, even if ideally I’d like to see a nice middle ground between having those and the functionality of subtrees.

If the Chally 3 is fair game then a Bhishma Mk.3 or T-90MS would be fine as well.

While the assessment that some MBTs are only 12.0 because Gaijin wants all trees to have a 12.0 is fair, I am pretty sure that this is just a result of them being terrible at balacing the BRs

Precisely.

As you said, LOTS of us just happen to be modern machinery enthusiasts. I, too, grind or don’t grind trees exclusively and solely based on their top tier lineups, which are practically the only ones I play.

It’s not about “endgames”, “grind” or “tiers”, it’s just about the historical period I am most interested on.
