Not all premiums, specifically the ones that bring loads of money like US or USSR ones. Japan just doesn’t get love

As a France main life is easier, they flip a coin for every vehicle so we get some nice stuff

“I am flying BR three-three/
And guess what I no longer see:/
Any OP Yakkity three!”
Voices from around the world are rejoicing! Some sources:
- “It is a small step in BR, but a big step for War Thunder”
- “This is the beginning of the end of the Russian bias!”
- “The future’s in the air/ I can feel it everywhere/ Blowing with the wind of change!”

The system just doesn’t make any sense.
Example:
Average vehicle 100.000 battles in one month.
- 90.000 average players → K/D 0.8
- 10.000 exeptional players → K/D 2.5
- Overall K/D → 0.97
Now something changes, the vehicle isn’t competetive anymore, average players stop playing it. Total matches drop to 15.000.
- 8.000 average player → K/D 0.5
- 7.000 exceptional player → K/D 2.2
- Overall K/D → 1.29
The vehicles performance dropped for all players and nothing changed that made the vehicle better but on average it now has better performance and earns on average more than before.
Now, what happends when you increase the BR of an already outperformed vehicle?
That’s right, regular players stop playing it and only a few exeptional players keep playing it.
Making the whole situation worse.
The exact opposite would happen, if instead of increasing the BR the BR is lowered.
Except in minor nation trees, which generally are going to have less players than more popular nations.
And if their statistics don’t take player skills into account, they need to come up with a system that does. The simplest method is just to look only at players with a average K/D and then look for outlieres. Because those the vehicles that generally need nerfs.
The opposite is the case for players with on average exeptional high K/Ds and outliers where they will perform worse than average.
It’s a clear indication for a vehicle that isn’t competetive and should go down in BR.

pls don’t up tier my beautiful american figters pls
Imo the F-14 moving up is the bigger atrocity. The Zeros are atleast good at their BR’s meta (turning) the F-14, however has nothing. It’s slow, has awful turning, has incredibly hot engines, has the worst missiles of any plane at its BR, and it STILL got moved up.

You’ve forgotten about the Tornados that were used in air battles at 12.3. A couple of years will be enough for you to understand that?

Photoshop the premium Flankers over the elephant and it will be perfect.
The Elephant yearns to be addressed.
You’re not serious, aren’t you? You cannot be serious. The biggest atrocity is to see ONCE AGAIN japanese and italian props raised up in br when not necessary

It’s a step in the right direction, but we took 3 steps backwards and fell down the flight of stairs.
If the first complaint you had was your precious 4.3 top dog seeing 4.7 instead of gaijin butchering Japanese and Italian props (again) then you need a new pair of glasses.

Any explanation for the Scimitar (Plane) going up in GRB BR? Has 4 Bullpups which is less than the F4J, A4, and same as planes like the G.91, which are all at 8.7. It was the only tech tree CAS plane for 8.7 GRB in Britain and is now going up for seemingly no reason.

Where’s he the OP? A naval aircraft with two missiles against hordes of Su-27/30SM/Gripens? Is he the OP? I understand the wild imagination and all that, the youthful maximalism of it all. So, you were shot down in some Su-27 by those Tornados, you’re holding a grudge, but why is he the OP?
By the way, wouldn’t you like to boost the combat rating of the premium Su-30?
It doesn’t really effect the Zeros much. They will still outturn everything, and be outran by everything. The F-14 being moved up effects how it plays.
Why would anybody buy a Japanese premium at this point, when they get up tiered every patch?
Mean while we have the T58 that’s had a higher K/D then EITHER BMPT every month, but one where one BMPT slightly out did it, since it’s introduction and it’s gone up one single step.
