I know that long queue times are a thing both Gaijin Entertainment and the playerbase hate with their hearts. So I wish to enquire why for match making requires US and Germany to be on the same team? I’ve found (at rank VII) that usually US + Germany has a 3:1 ratio of players queuing compared to all other nations combined. This would (and does) make wait times for battles long. So why is this the case?

I should also mention I tried playing with my friend (German player) and it refuses to allow us to queue together.
