Whatâs with so many >80 level guys with the most diabolical names at like 7.0? And theyâre always at the enemy team and with the most OP plane of the br
Alright I get it. Level doesnât matter
I figured after your responses and some actual diabolically bad match gameplay
Many people get sick of top tier, also the beauty of the game is you can play whatever you want. If someones favourite vehicle is at 7.0 theyâre probably gonna play it. And if youâre an average player half the time theyâre going to be better than you. Just try learn your planes strengths and weaknesses (and also the planes you fight) at the BR
Low tier is like, rank I aircraft. Ergo, 1.0 to like 2.7.
Also, player level is meaningless.
(notice how many levels I got since jan 15. Know how? I had premium account and was spamming my Muramask (premium boat) to do battlepass stuff. I played 87 boat arcade, 400 ground RB and 100 air sim games since jan 15 )
imo cold war and up is high tiers, 4.0-6,0 is medium tier, and anything below 3.0 is mostly just bullying new players due to everyone and their mothers spam planes wich is just dumb to see level 100 players spam premium planes in 1.0 and calls it skill, 4.0 is when players should have learnt the very basics, i dont exspect much of 1.0 newbies (i didtn see this was for air realistc, ignore my dumb comment when it comes to ground)
A single player can be dealt with - its getting complicated if you meet coordinated squads - even a 2-men squad of not really good pilots is in most matches able to win at prop BRs - doesnât matter what they fly.
Example:
I met in my last match (BR 3.7-2.7 replay link) a 3-men squad flying coordinated - i was able to kill one of them (with my B7A2) but had to retreat as i donât fight 1 vs 2 vs coordinated enemies in 190 A-2s. The low contrail alt (5,2 km) prevented a sneak attack and they went actually up to 8.5 km.
And when they went low: The low clouds prevented a perfect pass (and the necessary situational awareness) as you have to be sure to take out one in just one pass - otherwise you canât risk playing 1 vs 2 if you meet experienced enemies in faster aircraft - especially if they know to act as a team.
So in my match they scored 4 kills playing 2 vs 1 vs rookies in my team, but they lost the match due to massive ticket lead; going âall inâ from my side was not necessary.
As an example that playing as an experienced solo player at lower BRs requires actual brain power another example:
In this match (replay link) i played in the Rank III BR 3.3 Hellcat a full downtier.
After 7 minutes i played (together with a CHN DB-3 bomber) 2 vs 9 - as usual my (mostly German) team collapsed totally and i was actually considering to land and j out.
But as i remembered this map having a rather strong midfield aaa i was sure that at least 3 or 4 will die to aaa. Long story short: My bomber went low and i managed to kill all 5 remaining enemies (4 died to other reasons).
The decisive factor was that i killed them in the right order (Il-2 to prevent ticket defeat, I-16 as he completely outturns me, Yak-7 because he was low enough and the P-39K as main threat before the Re 2001 in 1 vs 2) - in any other order (and without playing patiently) i would have faced a certain defeat.
As a fun fact: All of my 5 kills were against level 100 players đ
Conclusion:
Yes, i used my Air RB experience advantage vs level 100 players (no âAirâ mains). But if would want to use an op plane i would have used the MB 157 (totally broken), a P-38 G, a Bf 109 F-2 or the omnipresent Yak 1B - all of them are untouchable in a full downtier.
But my Hellcat is able to outturn Yak-3s in full uptiers (and the 4 mentioned planes at the same/similar BR) with a Hotas (and without instructor) so it is not a question of flying an op plane or not - it boils down who do you face in which aircraft in full or partial uptiers/downtiers and if they are squadded or not; playing as a squad is way more decisiveâŚ
what kind of âOPâ plane are u talking about, bro? if u donât like it then unlock it and see how the enemy runs scared cuz u have an âOPâ plane too
i have done this same post years ago, didnât go well, i recommend u to chill out and take it less seriously, itâs not that bad as it looks.
u barely started so itâs obvious u donât know all the things a high lvl player knows, so i recommend u to do like me and ask somebody (in the forums or ingame, i recommend u ingame cuz people are usually more active there) who has played the game for a long time to teach u everything. i got a friend years ago who is exageratly good at the game, and after years now iâm better than him (lmao the apprentice became the master).
???
if u mean the swedish A29B Tunnan then i must say itâs a very good aircraft.
one day i decided to go back with itâs fighter counterpart (which isnât too different) and my first match was 5 kills 0 deaths.
Thatâs the way public server systems work: Everyone plays everything.
I can only speak about EU servers, but back in the days there were way more hyper skilled squads. No chance against them, but you could learn a lot. Most of these squadrons quit or playing very rarely. Nowadays there is no challenge anymore. It only depends on how many players will crash or die in headon early game.
Last week:
I played 1v9 in a 3.7 spitfire. I rtb to quit then 2 enemies crashed at their AF, 2 crashed while ground pounding. So I thought to myself, thatâs doable. 3, one after another, tried to pitch up to me but stalling out. No positioning, no climbing. One crashes into ground while in dogfight with me. The last one runs, the second I shoot he rams into the ground on purpose.
Thatâs the level of skill nowadays. Is it my fault? No. Am I hyper skilled? Not at all. I only play the basics and have the experience of knowing almost every prop fighter.
It is easier to complete dailies at lower BR against weaker opponents.
There is no penalty for level 100 players playing Rank III and above while completing tasks.
Most pages of history missions use low- to mid-BR vehicles, so seal clubbers are naturally drawn there.
Even if skill-based matchmaking existed, there would still need to be a reason to play it. Without extra rewards for what is essentially a ranked mode, there is no incentive to choose a mode that is harder and sweatier.
Arguably, low tier can also be easier for event grinding. Even with the worse rank modifier, it is often possible to make up the difference simply by performing better more consistently. If you are flying a very strong aircraft at low tier, where fewer players can really counter it, beating the higher-rank modifier is absolutely doable.
I am level 100, I have top-tier aircraft in two tech trees , and my go-to BR for dailies is still 3.7 Italy with four premiums (ground RB). Feel free to check my profile. No shame. I want to grind daily challenges as fast as possible with the limited time I have each night between work, responsibilities, and sleep. The only times I play higher tier are when I am trying to spade vehicles or grind higher-rank vehicles.
