They don’t care, ppls said the same when they added the first rank 5 prem, then rank 6 then 7 and now rank 8. 3/4 of the playerbase genuinely don’t care.
If they just move some stuff about in current rank 8 there would be more than enough room to fill them out with more 4th/4.5 gens and then keep rank 9 for 5th gens.
the problem isn’t the premium plane user,… it’s how easy it is to get premium high tier in the first place, leading to a dominant invasive amount of newbies in top tiers,…
(As there is no rules preventing them to buy the highest tier right after subscription,… i can expand on that, but not now)
Meanwhile nearly all premium aircrafts are placed at favorable BR compared to their free of access counterparts.
BUT: It’s the same newbies population which is jumping on the forum, to explain how bad the game is with them.
despite how bad they’re playing the game,… most don’t know what a RWR is or works,… some don’t understands max-range of missile depends on altitude, or how to read radar indications,…
worst part of them still not understand how to make allies help them efficiently (and that’s not by giving your allies a Head-on situation,… that’s the worst possible scenario)
so,… Lots of users seemingly hates premium plane users,… but what they truly hates is newbies using such planes.
