Compression is not something new to war thunder, but as I’ve been playing around the 9.3 BR mark, I’ve noticed just how bad the BR compression has become. You can have all aspect missiles (R60M and AIM-9Ls) facing against planes without countermeasures. 9.3 itself is a bit of a joke, as the F100D (FR) with 4 AIM-9Bs is the same BR as the F-104C, the MiG-19S/PT, Ayit or even the Yak 38. and just 1 BR step higher you have the AIM-9G slingers- such as Harriers. Clearly the moment you get an uptier you are just done for, yet a 9.3 in a downtier is even more disgusting, where you can be simply untouchable

This has been a topic for years.
Your arguments are compelling and it would do wonders for the games health. But Gaijin doesn’t want it.
You are supposed to suffer. The game is NOT supposed to be fun, it’s supposed to be a slow grindfest with like 2/3s of arguably useless filler vehicles to further slow the grind to that new F14 that you saw in the advertisements for the game.
You either buy a premium or you get punished for not giving in by weeklong boring grinds.

Very aware of that, really sad though as my favourite plane era is within that BR range, but ig the A-10A Early and Su-25K are selling well, so gaijin is willing to turn another blind eye. Top tier should be 17.0 or something already, if all the battle ratings were compressed correctly.

Meanwhile when i made a poll for needing Air Rb top BR to be 15.0 they called it aggressive …
And i had explanation that the point is to make space for lower BRs and nothing to do with top tier.
