The lower bracket has faster queue times.

Wait, lower brackets? Is there a separate queue if you don’t bring aircraft from certain BR ranges? I thought it was all 10.3 to 13.0, what is this lower bracket exactly so I know I’m getting that different queue so I can adjust my lineups accordingly!

I would love to see this as a permanent event but with a few tweaks such as less powerful AAs or reduced repair costs just like in the event rn. Also BR tweaks would be needed. However, if they are adding it, at Gaijin’s speed of implementing things, we probably won’t get to see this new mode until 2030 lol

Also a WWII version of this mode would also be nice :)

Hopefully they make this game mode permanent, I haven’t play this game in months until this got added and I’m hooked

Oh! That’s awesome! Can I check somewhere what is that other lower bracket exactly or do you know what is the exact range of the lower bracket? I’ve played way too much with the USSR and I’m dying to play with the US aircraft and also not having to face the super strong MiG-29 9-13 or F-14/F-15/F/A-18C if I play Soviets again lol

I think bottom of lower bracket is 10.3 to mayyyybe 13.0, but I’m not 100% sure

Here it is, ignore my other reply: " * Sessions in the event are now split to 2 Battle Rating ranges: “pre-top” 10.3-12.0 and “top” 11.7-13.0." Thats the official quote

I don’t think Gaijin can do maths lol. Why is there an overlap between 11.7 and 12.0?😭🙏

Awesome! Thank you so much!!!
I can finally get a breather from the F-15As and Tomcats as well as the MiG-29, only great concern would be the F-4S if anything but that is only one plan instead of like 4 monster planes being spammed lol

Thank you!!! :D

If you remove all aircraft above 12.0, you activate the lower bracket matchmaker as well.

Couldn’t get in with a higher bracket plane for the US. Queued with the F8 and got in instantly.
