Uptier hell

I took a tally of 40 matches with 7.7 France and came back with 35 matches of FULL uptier, that’s 87.5%. Not even partial, FULL.

When will Gaijin admit that the match making is UTTERLY broken and something has to be done to fix this slop. It’s complete poison and is probably the primary reason for 1 death quitting, I do it all the time now because it’s beyond tiresome at this point.

At certain battle ratings, on certain servers, at certain times of day, and with certain nation groups (especially when playing in a squad), the chances of getting uptiers or downtiers can shift noticeably. Many players are well aware of this. For example, if I get three full uptiers in a row, I’ll either switch to a different battle rating, change servers, or pick another nation to play. Back then, I once had 20 consecutive full downtiers with 4.7 British ground realistic battles on US servers. The moment I switched to the EU server, though, I immediately started getting full uptiers. I don’t let it bother me too much, just experiment a little and you’ll quickly get a sense of the most favourable time zones and servers for your favourite battle ratings with different nations.

looool, bro i saw you complaining about the British tree in game earlier. Edit: In a full-uptier for me.

Spoiler

Brother, take a break if the game is getting to you that much.

That cannot have been me. I have never traded positive in these tanks.

So you admit it is a skill issue? Uptier/downtier isn’t as big of an issue as many players make it seem; you just need to know the weakness of your enemy.

Well there only one way to avoid it
Playing top tier
Sad but true

What does skill have to do with 87.5% uptiering? Oh, you just want to come in and humble brag while completely missing the point. Ok bro.

How to change servers?!

In the game mode select screen, there is a part at the bottom left that allows you to select your server

No, it’s a skill issue that you are unable to function in an uptier. All tanks can function at an uptier, albeit some better than others, but complaining on the forums about it only shows that you can’t play your vehicles to a competent degree.

Every time you get an uptier someone is getting a down tier.

We thank you for your sacrifice :)

you can kill every tank from the side or behind yes of course

The main thing to remember is that when you get an uptier, only a fraction of the enemy will be downtiered. And there is certainly a good chance the players getting that downtier are still one-death-leaving numpties who will be out of the game before you even have to reach into your lineup.

Additionally, each lineup will typically have vehicles that are more suited for an uptier. In the game we had together that I showed in my post above, I chose the meme vehicle (M6A2E1) over the T26E5 because I needed that extra pen and firepower. For France 7.7, you’d opt for vehicles like AML-90 over something like a Somua, for example.

I made a similar post a while back and got told i made it up so they probably never will

ThankYou!!!

No problem

I always doubt these claims because i play the game, i get annoying uptiers…BUT i never saw so many of them…NOT EVEN CLOSE…so i doubt.
I play AB, so i always admit that there may be something in RB that MAY cause this effect…however, whenever someone checks the data it is not “87.5” or more often it is not “FULL”.
Whenever someone presents “real” data full uptiers will always be below 50%…with the expected value being around 30%…(it is not 25% due to the 4 players in top tier limit). This skews a bit in some BR/nations in RB…but NEVER close to 80%.

SO…for me…unless there is proof i am skeptic…

And again…i also am killed by better tanks and more annoying i also have moments when i have difficulties killing some stronger tanks…BUT it is not all the time…and it is actually rewarding when we can do it…

Cant speak for ground but go play 9.3 air

You will get 90% full uptiers

Some BRs are just cursed
