Funny as this is, if I remember right your in game score (ranking) will actually drop by thousands of points simply by not playing. In other words take a break of maybe a day or even a week. You’ll likely come back and find you’ll be doing great for a few matches.
If that doesn’t work try playing at different Br’s or nations. I’ve learned the matchmaker can be quite cruel to those who are hard stuck on some br’s.

I liked your post to give you a small “morale booster” as it looks like you won’t get any constructive replies.
Therefore some friendly recommendations / advises combined with a feedback and things to think about.
- Use another translator and learn English keywords like Air RB (= aerial combat history) or Match Maker (= server) etc and invest some time in reading other posts dealing with the same / similar content - like this one - in order to make your posts more comprehensible.
- I acknowledge that you classified yourself as rather mediocre (=green) player, but imho you should have far better statistics with 10 years experience - just based on the fact that Air RB is flooded with rookie pilots with just a few hours or days of experience.
- So you might consider to watch some DEFYN videos on yt (at least for your preferred planes) in order to get “fresh” input regarding your overall playstyle. 10 years of experience does not automatically lead to the assumption that you came to the right conclusions.
- Arguing that you are attacked as an individual player makes no sense. Having a game with millions of players your current loss experiences must be therefore a kind of automated process. Following this logic, thousands of other players would have the same experiences - therefore this forum should be flooded with hundreds and thousands of posts referring to the same issue.
- So even in case you would be correct with your assumption, your post makes no sense. Why? Because any official reply from gaijin like “We are sorry, we will change this” would result in a revolt of other long-term players. So even in case there are hidden (malicious / sinister) functions implemented within the MM - you won’t get the feedback you want.
- Don’t discuss such topics with players in this forum. Why? Most of the participants simply spread fact free opinions or just have no clue that any forum has the purpose of discussion and helping / supporting each other. I admit that some memes i saw here were extremely funny, but they were not really helpful.
- If you want to get rid of loss strikes - fly the B7A2 (doesn’t matter tech-tree or event plane), climb with 250 kmph IAS towards a base, drop 9 x 60 kg (= kills every base, even in full uptiers) kill a fighter trying to pitch up to you and you will win 50-70% of your matches without additional effort. Just avoid head-ons, you outturn basically every enemy.
Have a good one!

If you scroll up a tiny bit, I did give a legitimate answer. I gave a real answer and the response I was given was the equivalent of “nuh uh”
I literally said this:
And the direct response was this:
Every single person in this thread has explained why Gaijin is not intentionally targeting them.

Git gud, play BR ranges that have more skilled players, play advantageous nations, or simply be a chad and get 8 kills per game.
Should be easy enough to do below 2.3.
No offense man, but this claim is objectively seen flat wrong.
Even considering that you are just volunteer acting on behalf of gaijin, you should be aware of the responsibility that is attached to your badge.
In other words: You should be a role model in cases like this.
If you take a step back and try to have a neutral and sober view on the OP and the following posts, you see a classic example of a poor soul trying to express his concerns whist using a sub-par translator and getting swarmed by the typical forum mob.
I mean we all have bad days, so just admit that this was not your finest hour, ask a fellow forum mod to wipe all of the useless, spamming & mocking posts, give some of them warnings and try to do it better next time.
Just see the thread as a whole, consider my text above and rethink your post. Going in a defensive mode is comprehensible and a natural reaction, but makes things actually worse. So admitting, yes, this was bad/wrong/whatever is actually a sign of strength.
Even admitting that the OP and his additional posts are hard to read and process - starting a reply with “Git gud” is not really a convincing way trying to help.
In addition: Air RB has in all BR ranges a clear lack of experienced pilots, and he addressed the lack of experienced team mates - changing BRs won’t solve his issue. It doesn’t matter if the OP is right or wrong - just read this thread:
…as a whole (or just this post) in order to understand that there is circumstantial evidence which actually supports the assumption that the MM might have more functions.

You mean like yours where you are trolling a mod?
Of course it could be like that. But sometimes a duck is a duck. If I first claim to be a green pilot, then talk about the account being 10 years old (not me playing this long) and then make it even more complicated, it is also quite possible that we are dealing with an entitled reality bender.
If I had to bet money, I knew where I would place it.
Seriously: “I request that players below level 100 not always be matched to me.” In a game where I can squad if win rate is so bloody important to me? A person in a mental state deserving of your empathy would sound way different. But of course, do as you seem fit.
I do agree that some statements look rather rude , but i see the underlying issue (my team gets less experienced, always rookies in my team, etc.) every few weeks - just addressed way more comprehensible.
I like the analogy with ducks, but imho most of his claims look more like a translation issue than everything else.
So “green” in the sense of new does not fit to 10 years, but in the sense of mediocre or average it fits. Some languages are tricky to translate as the sense of the meaning depends on the pronunciation.
A homograph (from the Greek: ὁμός, homós ‘same’ and γράφω, gráphō ‘write’) is a word that shares the same written form as another word but has a different meaning.[1]

Hmmm … skill issue? A Darwinist might even link it to a more personal factor.
IMHO: take a break from WT, more walks, read a book. Rethink your outlook on life - Gaijin is NOT out to get you.

That’s not real advice.
My issue isn’t the translator. They are understandable and that’s all that matters. I admit that I have made fun of it a bit and I shouldn’t have done that. I apologize for that. However, what I’m trying to explain is that their requests and ideas are fundamentally not real and based on false premises. I’m talking about this stuff because I and nearly every other person in this thread have explained that this is not happening and that is not how War Thunder works, but they have straight up refused to listen:
And this stuff which is straight up not what I said:
And the second of those 2 statements is blatantly misrepresenting what I said because it is a reply to this:

That is what real men do - taking responsibility.
Have a good one!
PS: Regarding this:
I mean the main difference between a hypothesis/theory and reality is just the ability to prove it. My favorite example is Dark Matter. There is no scientific prove of it, but it looks like that there is a common scientific consensus that it might exist, mainly as it fills gaps between other theories and actually proven facts.
So without having actual insight in all MM functionalities you can’t be 100% sure about such claims - and if such things would actually exist you would not be able to detect and prove it - otherwise they would make no sense.
Therefore claims that such things as addressed here (or another famous topic - Russian bias) are not existing look comprehensible, but they are just based on assumptions and official communication - and not on actual data.
Imagine you would have worked in 2013 for VW and somebody had asked you about a defeat device in your diesel engines…
True, but the logic for why they would do this fundamentally makes no sense and there is no evidence whatsoever to support what is a conspiracy theory.
Thank you very much.
P.S. I’m not a man.

Rule 29 of the Internet, all girls are men and all kids are undercover FBI agents.
Rule 30 of the Internet, all girls are just guys. girls do not exist on the internet. Oh, and these are real rules.
" “As a constitution, the rules [of the internet] were always doomed to failure (Rule 15: “The harder you try the harder you will fail’). But they remain important as a document of online culture, created by 4chan’s anonymous founding fathers .””
Of course, it was 4chan. The last crazy/but free place on the internet where anarchy lives.

Imho this is just a matter of your perspective.
You might consider to invest some time reading the linked MM thread.
It is actually proven and well researched that the right mix of success and drawbacks increases the player commitment. The main goal of game developers is to keep the player in the flow zone.
So implementing artificial success and drawbacks makes sense, especially for f2p games: If the player is too good he might get too early to his personal goal and might not be encouraged to spend (further) money, same the other way around.
As wt has a strong grinding aspect combined with a high number of players, whilst the game play itself is far away from being rocket science - balancing players and their progress by own team & enemy team composition and up- or downtiers via certain “features” within the MM is basically the only way to keep players in the flow zone.
That this system has some major flaws is obvious.
You see this in small matches/lobbies: On paper the skill distribution within both teams looks often quite similar/identical, but the MM does not consider where (in which mode) the skill is rooted - so you see often a team with highly experienced pilots flying vs high experienced tankers - with the usual result…
PS: Replace “men” with “strong personalities” :-)
You make a strong point. It is not as crazy as I percieved it to be. Is still maintain that I doubt this is the case in War Thunder, but you do make a strong point.

Well I’m not a girl either so problem solved.
So you are just the War Thunder equivalent of a Tinder dating app.
