decompression that will need to be done once several vehicle beyond the top tier capability got added, or yearly?
That’s short term in business sense. hell, in football that’s practically “running on gas fume” contract. 1 year no extension.

That is how Gaijin has decompressed things by now 1.7 BRs.
1.7 BRs of pure decompression has occurred accounting for power creep. Including power creep it’s 4.0 BRs.
Armored Warfare and World of Tanks are competitors in the matchmaker space.
Arma, DCS, etc are competitors in the military vehicles space.
I believe the only Sabre and the only Me-262 that could likely face each other is the 2x rocket 262, and the first Sabre. Emphasis on could, cause I personally doubt that fight.

Glad you acknowledge I play the game. 10 air trees completed soon to be 7 ground trees with 3 to go. :)
Defyn is one of the best sources for fighter content, and he’s the one I used to get good at fighters.
The video game Tarkov made me a better ground battles player.
To be honest with you brotato, most things players ask are stupid or short sighted.
Dude, people ask for flanking maps [urban and mountainous maps] then they ask for large open maps with long sightlines and fewer flanking opportunities… which we have as Sands of Sinai and Fields of Normandy.
The grind was buffed to the current fastest state it’s ever been. I’m getting up to 60,000 RP per hour in both air and ground whereas the previous maximum was around 45,000 before the changes.
Also for every good BR suggestion there’s at least one “Tiger 2 to 6.3” or worse.
Maus can bounce 90mm HEATFS when angled slightly, and resist 105mm HEATFS when angled significantly… yet people want 90mm HEATFS to never face Maus despite it being one of some rounds that can pen its flat armor.
People don’t like that I defend NATO equipment so hard, push for decompression, use Statshark against bad arguments, etc.
Change is scary.
The same voice that told him to write this hot take)))))

Thx mate! I’m fine. 👍
I am (and was) fully aware of this - and that’s why i mentioned that it is way more decisive who plays the top BR vehicles.
If a (premium) vehicle earns the most by slaughtering mostly full uptierd enemies the logical conclusion is that the BRs are not correctly adjusted - and/or their players are unable or unwilling to fight enemies in similar performing vehicles.
That the perceived value of a premium product for players might get lower if less more or less helpless “victims” (playing a full BR lower) are available looks convincing on the first look, but from a holistic pov this doesn’t matter as you would have the same effect across all BRs and the effect works in both directions: You might get less (easy) kills in full downtiers, but you would also get killed less in full uptiers.
Ofc not.

Compression causes bad BRs elsewhere up to 5 BRs higher and lower than the BR compression.
So if there’s compression within those BR’s, it’s almost impossible to spot because of BR compression causing bad BRs to exist.
9.3’s BR compression causes issues all the way down to 7.0.
13.0’s compression causes issues all the way down to 10.3.
Ground BR 2.7 compression causes issues all the way up to 5.7 [M4A3E2 Jumbo is 5.7 because of BR 2.7’s compression].
That’s why BR compression is hard to spot in those areas that are impacted by those 3 compressed BRs.
yeah the 29G and the Su27 aren’t the same BR because of compression or anything
Yeah it’s not like the 2a5/2a6/2a7 are all the same battle rating or anything

Glad you agree with me that 13.0 needs decompressing.
All firing the same exact ammo with the same exact side and turret armor and 2A7V is a bit less mobile for a bit more hull armor than 2A6 and 2A5.
That’s textbook definition of what the same BR is.
How does this work with your previous statement of:
Lmao, no. Just sharing ammo but being worse in multiple other metrics mean it should be a lower BR.

That’s not how English works. “Until 9.3 is decompressed, there is no evidence of compression from 7.0 - 9.3 until after that compression is fixed.”
2A5 is faster than the 2A7V, and the hull front is the only other aspect which only helps on long range maps against tanks that don’t fire DM53, M338, and M829A2.
Meaning what, exactly? How does this mean higher BRs are not compressed?
By small margin. It’s not enough to justify the same BR by any means.
The 2a7’s spall liner is a massive upgrade that is always impactful. The 2a7’s thermals upgrades are a massive upgrade that are always impactful. The 2a7’s improved hull armor is a massive upgrade and is always impactful. These are all much greater than the mobility offset from weighting 64 tons as opposed to 60.

Gaijin needed to get rid of their byzantine and moronic BR system years ago. It hamstrings attempts at balance (as if gaijin actually tries to balance). Really the whole leadership of gaijin need to be replaced with people that are at least only moderately incompetent.
The statement doesn’t imply other BRs outside of what 9.3’s compression impacts.
Spall liner means nothing to the skill level at top BR. Spall liners just make bad shots more bad. Spall liner has protected a total of zero tanks I’ve shot at, because spall liners can’t protect crew and ammo.
The 2A5 and 2A7V are effectively the same at top BR.
And yeah, the 2A5 weighs 5 tons less as well while going 9kph faster.
Stop advocating the absurd… it’s old and obvious.

I voted no because I believe the BR ceiling should be raised for decompression instead of mess with a matchmaking mechanic
And the fact that The top ground BR is 12.0 while the top Air BR is 14.3 is crazy

Raises dont happen enough as compression makes money
This would be a far more permanent even with new vehicles the 1.0 max uptier is a relic from sub 100k active players to increase matches
