Planned Battle Rating changes for January 2024

I didn’t say I know that xd. We don’t know if this data even exist tbh.

What mixed MM have to public data like stats, win ratios etc.?

Ofcourse gaijin has all the statistics they need. They have hired data analysts who work to interprete this data professionally. When this data is released to the public, people with no experience in data analysis will go and make their own armchair analysis and create drama when it does not represent what the professional data analysists see.

Cause Gaijin would have to prevent groups from using the data to exploit personal win rates, and the only way to do that is mixed matchmaking.
It’s why I tell people you’re really supporting one of two things:
1- Mixed match making but with open win rate data.
2- Current match making with current secrecy of statistics.

Cause nation v nation only works so long as the stats are secret.

Additional feedback about the BR changes (aside from something needing to be done about top tier ground):

The Strela will still only be 9.7 while the Israeli Imp. Chaparral will still be 10.3. These 2 vehicles are pretty close in terms of capabilities.

While I would love the Israeli Chaparral to be moved down to 9.7, where Israel has other vehicles, I think it’s more reasonable that the Strela moves up to 10.0 and the Israeli Chaparral moves down to 10.0.

For the love of snail please just please increase the BR’s in ground to 12.0 even to 12.7 and don’t touch french 7.7!

I see. So gaijin should at least tell us the reason of their BR changes proposition, I mean no just “because of our data which we won’t tell you”, but what exactly, like: this vehicle compared other nations vehicles at this BR has better penetration, armor, mobility etc. and it should be X BR higher.

Gepard 1A2, as far as i know never used AHEAD, the A2 modification allowed for FAPDS, which is basically a pre-fractured APDS, it shatters into pre defined shards which tear through the target for max damage. the coils at the end of the barrels measure V0 of every single round for lead corrections.

The FAPDS should have less penetration then the APDS DM23, on of its benefits is that it allows for a longer range to target, and since they dont have explosive filler dont need a self destruct function.

I like most of your other suggestions i,m missing a few others:

  • Uptier all 3rd gen MBT’s to 10,7 to decompress 9.0-3, they are massacred by Leo2, t72, M1, ZTZ etc;
  • This includes Chinese and USSR tanks at 10.0, they have good armor, great rounds 3BM42 or 125-1. They get to feast on the banquet that is 9.0-3, which unless fully spaded, have little chance against them, and since only two nations have 11.0 MBT’s, namely ISR and JPN, they rarely meet a Full up-tier;
  • And most of them come with ERA so another nail for the 9.0-3 crowd.

Exact, they are facing stronger vehicles in many aspects already at 7.7. They have average guns without stab, no armor, higher repairs…

The only reason is money. France TT propably doesnt pay much so they nerf it all instead of trying to make something out of it.

They could rework the gameplay, battle modes and balance, but it requires an investment of time and money.

They came up with a very clever idea instead, why not simply mess up with the balance and implement a grind system?! They can keep the gameplay in a beta state, it doesnt matter! Players will get frustrated and compensate in bying premium accounts or golden eagles.

No wonder why wt players get mad on forums and chats btw. This game is structured to make you mad.

It is the sad reality of gjn’s silly business model.

And obviously its not working, the player base is capped at 200k daily. Because people on earth want to play a game for recreation first, not only to suffer and grind.

After many years, it looks like gjn have no more ambition than this.

These changes are poorly thought through and yet another nail in the French ground tech tree coffin. Half of the changes are for a tech tree few people are playing and that’s essentially suffering from the syndrom of “only good players play it, because it’s essentially unplayable for the casual” and thus gets regular BR increases which are completely not based on actual vehicle performance. Two EBR get yet another BR increase!!! The AMX DCA gets nerfed (despite its flash muzzle still making it very hard to use against planes). Vehicle performance and line up feasibility should be used for BR changes, not player performance. That’s how we end up with ridiculously low BR for Russian and German vehicles and ridiculously high ones for the French (or the Swedish to give another example).

Oh and I even forgot the unfortunate AML-90!!! At 7.7, seriously???

According to other players, it DOES have IRCCM by having IR sensor gating after it locks (aka after it gets a lock and fires, it’s impossible to break said lock)

For the people who are too lazy to read 1000+ post, TLDR in the comment section is basically:

Gaijin wants to promote playing other nations, but counter intuitively nerfs minor nations because US, Russian and German players are so bad at the game that it basically causes everything else to go up but the major nation’s vehicles themselves.

Replace US by German and Russian and you’d have nailed it.

Yeah, it doesn’t make sense to move the French tanks up from 7.7. How could M82 shells fight T-55s and M60s?

Since M1A1 get a 5-second reload rate, IPM1 however shows more weaker in terms of firepower and protection compared to other vehicles in the same BR, it should lower BR to 10.7.

China’s MBT2000 mobitily and protection at 10.7 is obviously overpowered, it can even threatens many 11.0 vehicles like Type10 or Merkava Mk.3, and I suggest MBT2000 should go to 11.0.

Of course,there are some profiles on the issue website shows MBT2000/ZTZ99 have 6.5s reload speed,if that issue have passed,then I’m not opposed MBT2000 going to 11.0.

so why did the Japanese and Israeli F-15s not go up if the only reason is “USA bad”?

I’m just going to say, M900 facing 9.7 downtiers is a big no no, simple as that.

They are very likely sharing the same stats rn, and are also lacking key “features” like HMD, which could be a probable reason as to why they’re not being moved
