Every time I activate a Silver Lion Bonus,…it seems Im uptiered for 90% of the duration of it.
Something happened in this game starting about 2 years ago, I do not know what it is…, but its there.
Level 17 or so pilots in uptier battles,…Prems all over the place, Disgusting really to us to have been accumulating a good record.
Every single time I activate a bonus,…there seems to be some … in the match, AND THATS GUARANTEED, I see patterns.
Whats going on here? Do you need to get into my wallet that bad?
EVERY SINGLE TIME NOW IVE NOTICED

So you play popular healthy BRs when using a booster.
That’s all.

It’s the same like always standing in the slowest checkout line.
Joke aside, this just sounds like confirmation bias. Perhaps at worst in combination with playing a BR that is a bit less populated that the BR just above so “up tiers” happen slightly more often regardless.

Im at 9.3 and see incessant uptiers. Normally, that’ld be fine.
Except:
- I’m poor on SL → cant buy T-72A yet
- I’m at 9.3 because of the ZSU-23-4M4
- The rest of my lineup consists of:
- T55-AMD-1
- T62M-1
- BMP-3 (its not that good, really)
- Sturm-S
- All of these tanks in my lineup are waaay worse that the XM1/Leopard/AMX tanks I see
- I’m researching tanks that are like 170k+ RP (!!!) faster than I can buy them somehow 😭
- I play on Mac
- I have 200 ping all the time
Simply write down queue times with different boosters and without booster. See if there is a significant change in queue time with boosters.
Report your findings.
Thank you.
PS: I no longer have any problems with my SL boosters. If I wish, I can reliaby cash them at a rate of ~750SL per % point with stress free play. That is good enough for me.

Yes, the “booster curse” is real and is working as intended. It was confirmed by data for some time already.
The data sheet and explanation was even posted by mods here on forum

Does “the word reality” seem like a good word for you?

Why don’t you just remove ZSU from your lineup, until you can afford T72, so that way you’re not uptiering your entire lineup purely to accomodate 1 SPAA’s BR.

The only thing using a booster actually affects are your numbers in the Results window there at the end of the game . . . that’s it, nothing else.
Random Battles are just that . . . . random. While you can change the mode/BR’s of the matches you play, the maps rotate and teams are different for every single match.
Learning to use boosters for best results is a “hidden skill” and even then, is prolly mostly luck anyway. Most players have a winrate very close to 50%, if you also have ARP of close to 50%, then . . . in theory, you should do ok using boosters 50% of the time. If you are far below that, it’s prolly not the game . . .
Example: You win 5 games in a row, prolly not the best time to pop a SL booster, just because things have a way of evening out . . a loss is more likely . . but not guaranteed either, so . . . (prolly not a great time to start a Victory wager either).
At any rate, seems like a large part of the alleged “booster curse” is in player’s heads. If you think/believe something bad is gonna happen, it more than likely will. Stay positive, do the best you can and try not to focus on any boosters that might be running.
In the end, no matter what score/results you end up with after the match ends, just remember . . . it would have been worse without the booster . .
aw so . . . .

No doubt mate, I have enough airkills now, I just like to win now. If my team wins thats good enough for me now, I like to see my mates fly around at the end of the battle, aerobatic smoke flying.

I see this every once in a while and i don’t understand why players would add just one vehicle in their lineup that is above the BR of the rest. I wait until i have at least 3 vehicles (if that many or more is available) unlocked on a BR before moving onto it and adding all three at the same time.
