Completely agree. SBMM will kill this game

WT isn’t a big enough game to have a separate competitive mode. There aren’t enough players playing different BRs and game modes. Both naval and ground sim sometimes run into problems of really high queue times because of a lack of players.
I’ll take player performance indexing by the Matchmaker for a 1000 Alex.
I think what we are actually seeing is all The Banned coming back and trying to grind asfastastheycan so they use premiums and CAS to rack up as many pts per game as possible.
That is because there is a lack of players not because they are spread to thin.
I personally would take longer queue times for better quality games.
Can you Reiterate your point’s so I can have a bit of clarity with them?
And do you have a suggestion that keep’s low level player’s from rushing to the top of the tree and basically forcing match’s to end when they all leave?
@Ion_Protogen I kinda agree with you here, not enough player’s usually. Though naval and ground sim have there own problem’s when it comes to player’s. This doesn’t mean that the comp will/won’t fall short if it get’s added though.
Spoiler
(Naval tend’s to have a bad br setup with destroyer’s vs battleships and such which drive’s most players away I think. And Ground sim is limited to certain BR’s on certain day’s which limit’s their players as well.)
Rather than segregate and categorize, work on making actual squads… That’s what genuinely makes better teams and proper teamwork.
No-one even uses them and it shows in the scoreboards.
My point is counter to your statement that SBMM is a solution, because it isn’t.
So, No one uses squad’s. And if they did then that would make team’s better.
I see where your coming from but that doesn’t solve the issue.
Do you want people to be in 4 man squad’s when they join the game and have their score’s based off of that?
And if that is your point, it can work in parallel with my suggestion. Yours’s for Normal RB and mine for people that don’t play in squad’s.
But to say that your statement over rules mine simply because? That’s not really an argument there.
@Ion_Protogen Hey, I might be missing something from my pov, what’s your opinion if you don’t mind?
I’m saying there are more things wrong with the players themselves, than the game genuinely… This thread is a sign of it, because of the judgement and the assumption that they can’t be good, just because they’ve bought their way up…
Everyone has thier bad matches, and to base any SBMM of anything like this, would be problematic.
I pointed out why I hold my opinion, and how your suggestion, and want for that isn’t what this thread is about… You promptly then asked the OP if your suggestion would work, trying to make your suggestion relevant.
Overrule is also one word.
This is definitely true. While probably partly due to WT having such a steep and tall learning curve, but also for other reasons, WT’s is definitely the one of the most (if not the most) significant “skill issue” game community I’ve happened across, up there with the CoD community.
There was recently a “bombers suck” thread on reddit which was literally a guy flying a heavy bomber directly into the enemy fighter swarm, while also steadily descending(!), the absolute pinnacle definition of “holding W” in Air RB… and they were complaining that it was the game’s fault (etc).
It had a couple thousand upvotes and was filled with a huge pity party of nonsense blaming the game for one of the genuinely stupidest decisions/tactics I’ve ever seen in WT.

This also highlights my plight of trying to be helpful in the helpdesk and update channel and being shouted down on from randoms who don’t think the advice is right, who wouldn’t have helped in the first instance, but telling the person struggling to ignore it and assume like them that it’s just the servers, and not thier wifi, or anything at all on thier end, because it’s always just ‘Gaijined’.

Interestingly, something is happening to the WT’s playerbase
Top Tier matches are often filled with many low-level players, mainly because they have access to a Premium/Event vehicle of Tier VI/VII/VIII. This lowers the skill levels both teams have, making the rounds more chaotic
Therefore,high skilled players (that usually are lvl 90+) tend to play mid to low tier games,making those battles way harder/sweatier
It’s the reverse polarization of matchmaking: people who have Top Tier unlocked will mostly play Mid Tier because they can’t withstand the chaos of TT and prefer to stomp low-levels where ““they belong to””, meanwhile low-levels that skip the natural progression of the game swarms Top Tier instead of playing Low to Mid Tier.
That’s why i 100% prefer people that “buy their way” into Top Tier instead of the usual Pro that owns everyone in Mid Tier (which i call Hoarder, because they usually have over 10K kills and a 10+ K/D on a singular Tier 2/3 vehicle): they are eager to learn how to play TT instead of being elitist

Nothing is happening ,old players want to at least leave spawn point ,that is why they are playing low tier .
I’m sorry, can’t I play what I want? Or does ever level 100 need to play top tier?

I mean,leaving spawn is still hard at every tier due to certain snipe spots. The only difference is that in TT you have the mandatory CAS spam
You can play what you want,sure.But there’s a slight difference between playing for fun and to ease your mind and playing only for frustration.
Practical example: when i got bored/annoyed by the usual TT shenanigans,i play the PLZ83-130. I don’t have a lineup for it, it’s not the best vehicle,but i love playing it nonetheless. And it’s surprisingly strong
If you legitimately have A LOT of kills on a single vehicle that is blatantly OP at its BR,it doesn’t necessarily mean that you play it for fun: you either have a strange definition of fun,or you straight up love stomping low-skill players

tonight ive had two games on the same map with the same loss and over half the team are players lower than lvl 10 come straight from Air battles and naval battles with one tank and did nothing except die then left ,i mean what is the point ?.Not at LVL they are but 3.7 with no clue at all except stay in the spawn and snipe from there how the hell is that helping the team?
Players like this are totally ruining games for others because they think because they are good in one mode of play its the same all over the others
just had a game LOST due having apart from 4 or 5 players an entire team of low level Air battle players come straight from that to a Br 3.0 ground game and got wiped out because they couldn’t use the map didn’t know how to play GF just sat in a got maybe 1 plane and died 3 times .They totally screwed another game why cant WT do summat about this makes the whole game not worth playing.
how many games do we have to have ruined till someone at gajin pulls their finger out and think of a way to stop this bum rush happening to every game.
I’m not saying they should not play GFs but like the rest of us they cant come straight from air battles into ground forces expecting to run to top Br ,many just come to GF because they got fed up of bombing AIs and instead want to bomb real players but that shouldn’t include screwing up others games if they want to do that then start from reserves upwards not straight into a higher Br without any idea whats its likely to be
I’m sick to death of having half a team of either air battle noobs from reserves or br 1.3 max with no idea what the hell to do in Gfs or i get more of the same just farting about in planes die 3 times do nothing and leave .I mean what is the point?, we all had to learn but I didn’t rush to the top when I found I was getting nowhere fast i went back to start and grinding the camos slowly learning the game

night after night ive noticed more and more low level air battle noob playing GFs with out a clue what its all about just to bloody bomb ppl .
they ruin ppls games for their own selfish enjoyment .They get planes die then bugger off to ruin other player games .
Nearly half the teams lately consist of pure air battle players no games in GFs yet they get straight into 3.0 games with one tank
how can you play a mode if you have no idea what the hell it consists of
