It’s fairly well known that a few years ago Gaijin switched Air RB’s matchmaking from favoring nation x vs nation y to mixed.
America vs america, ussr vs ussr, etc.
Why hasn’t this been done in upper tier ground rb?
Upper tier GRB has got to be the most pathetically unbalanced mode ever. If you play the US, you are losing 80-90% of the time. If you play the Germans, its closer to 50-50 and the USSR or China you win 70ish percent of the time.
So why not just do what Gaijin did with Air and have a mixed matchmaker?
F the mix battle this crap should be remove in ARB too for all i care US losing 80percent because of skills issue nothing more if they are not getting any better then let them suffer their own mistakes
I would like to see something like this. No doubt there are some tanks that are very strong on their specific BR than others and that way they wouldn’t be only in one team so this could be a benefit for more balanced matchmaking. In addition maybe a skillbased matchmaking, instead of putting players together by nation. This way multiple nations in one squad wouldn’t be a problem anymore.
There are so many factors why that is mixed. Americans in dogfights trying to catch Zeros instead of using their engine power. No side climbs as Allies against Germans and Italians. Then there are some buggy Spitfires that only make sparks on the target. The sheer number of players who couldn’t cope with low ammunitions in Soviet aircraft. And finally the years of complaining made it possible.
And for Ground, well, many simply wanted to play with Soviets against Germans or Americans and in a joint squad of different nations. Sometimes you get mixed matches that end up in all nations Vs. nations, it’s just chaotic and even your team-mates are shooting at you because they’re just too nervous about what’s around the corner.
Im not necessarily in favor of mixing the matchmaker. Im just pointing out the complete inconsistency and that top tier ground is super unbalanced.
For ground for me, there’s definitely a skill issue. I suck when compared to air. I just cant seem to see shit and im always listening to a podcast so i cant hear shit either.
But even for my horrible skill at ground, its a TON easier playing USSR or even Germany at top tier than the USA.
