It’s not just the players that are affected, but some vehicles, too.
We already have an absolutely overwhelming amount of small, tiny urban maps where tanks that specialise in sniping are virtually useless (and that’s before you get into the poor open-topped SPGs…). Not only are these maps greater in number, they’re also featured more often by the matchmaker. And then we have the single cap missions, which accentuate the effect, while BATTLE missions are rare (and players complain about them being campy).
It was a few days ago here that I read someone suggest to completely block off the lake in Poland as a way to engage enemies on the far side. Well alright, what’s my Dicker Max supposed to do then, rush into the town? Because apparently flanking A from the north = unacceptable, hanging out by the lake = unacceptable, flanking C to the south = unacceptable.
I get that many players prefer short, quick matches in tight spaces, but they’re already getting their wishes, the vast majority of the games are like that already. Why do we need to be squeezed even harder? At some point if you really just want lane shooting, you might as well remove all vehicles from the game that wouldn’t be competitive at that, like the aforementioned Dicker.

Yea i noticed the same thing. Had a task to win with atleast 85% participation. But short of yolo W in to the enemy team i could only reach 71%.
Hmmm…

why Playstation has not recieved the new BR update?
AMX-30 had the cannon & some more armor, so nah. Leopard 1 was on par in everything but the cannon & armor.
BRs should be visible (after you restart game). Game version will be updated today.
Thank you again, devs, for implementing some BR decompression.
I hope that the work preparation for future decompression is making steady progress.
That way we can one day see 9.0 - 10.7 air balanced again.
Some of these br changes are so dumb. As brit main let me point out the stupidity of the centurion and caernarvon being 7.7, centurion mk10 being 8.0 and the the conqueror following it being 7.7… how is the caernarvon equal to a conqueror?
This BR changes are just the classic Gaijin movement, a great idea but implementent with the ass.
Move up things like Italians cars but the M51 with 400 mm HEAT stay in 6.0 when other vehicles with the same gun and ammo are going up.
RU-251 is 7.3 but the jpz 4-5 is 6.3 wich is bascially a turretless RU.
M50 is 6.7 but T114 is 7.7.
M48 are 7.7 but M47 stay in 7.3.
Looks like this change more than a improve is just a dirty and fast way for add more easy preys for 9.0 and 10.0/3 premiuns.
The next sales will be a great spam of Turms and Leopards 2 spam for sure.

The BR update is good but i think you guys forgot to update the assault mode too.
Since tanks like the M60A2 are now 8.3 BR, they are now matched up to the 8.3+ BR where they will be facing tanks like the T-80 BVM or the M1A2. Not impossible to kill, just really really really hard.
9.0s were 8.7s before, so there’s no change.
Same with 10.0/10.3 They were 0.3 BR before.
Quick update here: I have now also seen a Maus with this lineup. Mind you that both the AUBL and Fiat have no way of penning the Maus frontally and even siteways the AUBL espeacially has issues penning the it. Adding to that is that the M26 Pershing that is in the Italian tech tree and ONLY possible to be brought up to the now 6.7 lineup has to face that. Needless to say those are just more reasons as to why these BR changes in particular (in my opinion and experience) are wrong.
FIAT lolpens Maus.
& M26’s APCR pens Maus as well.
I am happy with most of the changes.
Some are questionable though.
Also, would have liked some more. MiG-27M for example is terrible at 11.0 in Air RB. Its more 10.7 material.
This update is a sad joke. T-55AMD-1 same BR as T-62, T-64 same BR as T-72A, T-72B same BR as T-72B (1989)… I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.

very simple because they didn’t finish the job. Sure WW2 got relieved from lower post war.
But they moved everything up except the 10.3 in other words 3rd gen MBT, they now feast on all the old 9.0 that got bumped up to 9.3.
i played most of the night for the event and almost every time its 9.7-10.3 up-tiers. 2nd gen MBT’s have no advantage, not mobility, firepower or armour. i’ve never seen so many Turms, LEO2 pzbt123, KVT’s, T-80B, M1, 2S38, BMP-2M, CV-90 105, etc. it’s a slaughter-fest.
if they wanted to do what they stated, to relieve WW2 form Post war vehicles they should have blanket bumped every vehicle past a certain BR with +0.3, but they didn’t. because 9.0 was in a very good spot, maybe technological advantage but still kill able when faced in full up-tier.

10.0 was moved to 10.3 earlier in the year.
This is just more of the decompression.
It’ll take more time as they analyze more & make more decisions.
Patience is what we need as we play the game and provide passive & active feedback.
Both from play & from these posts.
Pretty much what @Baske_74 said.
They simply moved up the compression from one BR range to another , if they were serious about decompressing . Everything would have gotten a BR bump of 0.3 and the max BR would be 12.7 if not 13 at this point.

A lot of tanks obtained +0.7 BR and the 6.3/6.7 compression still the same with 99% of full uptiers vs tons of postwar tanks so bascially nothing change just move vastly inferior tanks up for made 9.0 and 10.3 premiuns more easy to play.
Gaijin just want fast money, the quality of the game is not a priority anymore.

Those BRs changes are useless, the only way for balance the game is bring back the old 0.7 BR spread.
