Im going to have to agree with that. I think operating in a market with little competition has led to that mindset or one of “why do we need to try/bother”. There is simply no other justification for it. When you look at the long list of community requested changes, balances, and instances where they ask for feedback but subsequently don’t listen to any of it…what else is there?
Couple that with the fact that they actively delete or hide comments criticizing, constructively or not, and you can’t help feel (as a player) a bit irrelevant. They got their data to always fall back on. Data they never share with players either. The consistent request of moving the 2S38 up because player sentiment is that it is either overperforming or feels “OP”. “But the data”…
I mean i played hundreds of 6 vs 6 matches in 85% full uptiers paired with 4 Ju 288s in the Italian D-30 fighting 5-6 US/UK fighters - but why are Italian Air SB pilots that “bad” that they have a lower BR???
Rarely ever do you see someone which more shows the flaws of balancing by spreadsheet
No radar.
Trying to spot people lobbing guided munitions from the stratosphere.
No ability to intercept munitions and vitally the seeker is useless if there’s clouds.
Problem is there are often invisible server side clouds that aren’t rendered for the player and when that happens you’ll be staring at a enemy you can’t touch
This is bolstered so hard by veteran players playing one of the least played nations in the game
Evaluate the result? People will remove the TKX (P) and Type 81 from the line up and play the Type 90 and Type 93. Congratulations on selling more Fujis. Now next time will all Type 90 go to 11.7? 12.0? Type 93 to 10.0?
The message I’m getting is that it’s pointless to play minor nations, as they will always get up BR’d into irrelevancy. Spend our time grinding massive amounts of RP for the devs to decide the vehicle needs to be played less / suffer more.
The reasoning is poor for these BR increases. The only reason to play the Japanese tanks is the reload. If they go up because of it, then what’s the point? Next time they’ll go up to 12.0, 12.3, 12.7… Until it reaches a BR where the round can’t do shit. Then no one will play the vehicles. Job well done, they will join the pile of vehicles that are unusable at their BR.
Same thing for French vehicles.
I wish we saw down BR for vehicles that perform poorly instead of up BR for vehicles that perform good.
Literally the Peter principle:
Good tank at 6.7? Up 7.0. Good at 7.0? Up 7.3. Whoops tank not good at 7.3, toooo bad please buy premium vehicle to skip grind.
It shows a total lack of understanding when it comes to the A2A combat balance. The FA2 is Britains only fighter that stand any meaningful chance of dealing with a Mig-29 and even then its at a major disadvantage.
It should remain at 11.7 because there is an unreasonable expectation the Tornado F3 in its massively nerfed state is going to do much against a Mig-29 in a map the size of a postage stamp.
Especially as the F-14A isnt moving up, and could be considered the stronger of the 2 aircraft in GRB
Namer armor fix when? How can you call it a realistic game when its completely missing 30-40 tons of armor? It’s based on the Merkava Mk4 hull - do you think it’s based on nothing? Why do you keep raising it up in BR? With this unrealistic armor it’s good in 10.3-10.7 where it can take some APFSDS shots to the front.
Gaijin be like: Not a source but also the only sources we can theoretically accept are classified so… we’ll just make it all up! and yeah we are going to remove the r2y2s because they are “fake”…
Strv 103C to 9.0 alongside the IKV lol, welp nobody is gonna touch the new worst 9.0 vehicles so congrats gaijin for basically removing 2 vehicles from the TT.
Any chance we could get some explaination on the Strv 103C going to 9.0?
I would understand the 103A- variants being uptiered from 8.0 to some extend but the 103C is already pretty bad at its current BR, especially given that hull aiming hasnt been working properly for ages now…
It seems that they still do not want the “air defense system” in the hands of ground players to be able to defend themselves in the environment they should have. Although they are called ‘air defense systems’“
As a ground player, having the ability to retaliate against reckless bombing planes and shoot down fools and inattentive players may be the sin of ground air defense systems.
Man i am soooooooooo happy its finally getting the better shell. Ive been wanting it ever since it got moved to 6.7.
Also quite happy the vextras been given a new shell, I was gonna shave spading and only spaded the amx40 but since its being moved i might have to do it quickly.
The changes are fine, but we still need to adress the F14s. The IR missiles are severely lacking and giving the A 9Ls and the B 9Ms wont change much for opposing planes. The MiG29G, F15A and J and some F16 at 12.7 and 13.0 get way better IR missile kits and WAY better SARH (some planes even ARH) missiles, and the phoenixes dont cut it. Hell the F18 is UNDER the F14A which is absolutely insane.
Dearest balancing team, please adress this problem. Im not asking for decompression although that would be nice, all i want is 9Ls for the F14A and 9Ms for the F14B.
