The difference in time played between the people against you really shows when you make comments like this. Nations don’t fit “themes”, they are a conglomerate of that nation and their sub-tree’s tech throughout their history.
I know you want to play your Tiger 1 or Tiger 2 like in Girls und Panzer (as seen by your squadron), but that’s not historically accurate, nor good for game balance. Every time a “Historically Accurate” mode has been in play, it has always been vastly populated by the stronger side and can never create matches. No one wants to be intentionally underpowered in a PvP game when the stronger option exists.
If you can’t do well in your German tanks where they are, you’re really not going to like what they would historically face. Your Tiger H1 could easily fight the T29, IS-3, and more. Historical matchmaking doesn’t just go down; it goes up as well and WW2 was a hell of a time for tank advancements. The Panzer 3 and Tiger 2 were only 5 years apart. To give you an idea, the T-54 is closer to the Tiger 2 than the Panzer 3 was.
Some nations, such as Sweden, China, Italy, Israel, Japan, and others, required extensive time to catch up with the major nations of the Cold War.
To do what you want, you’d literally have to delete 5 entire tech trees.

This would create a gigantic imbalance, imagine you going to play with your Pz3J1 and suddenly find a T34 or a Kv1? Imagine being a poor Mirage and having to face the Tomcat at 60KM? The BR system, despite its flaws, is the best and most balanced system possible. You can take your poor Sherman 75 and play against Pz4s and not Tigers. Despite some flaws like compression, it is the best we have and people complain too much.

I wouldn’t want to be in the Tiger 1 and see an IS3 on the corner looking at me
Why don’t you just quit the game then too? You complain about balance but the idea you defend will only generate more imbalance, you’ve never even touched a modern vehicle

If you are unhappy with the base mechanics of this game, you shouldn’t play it. That’s bad for your health.

By a literal order of magnitude, since six years separate the Pz III and the early development stage of the Tiger II, while the T-54 started development in late 1944, literally when the Tiger II was brand new on the battlefield.
The point is I’m saying that people who shout for balance are nuts… I telling the complete opposite! Read what I say instead of telling nonsense…
The base mechanics of the game is why I play this game and not the mentioned above games to begins with… but it didn’t start out like this crap we have today, with every BR I look there are mixed era crap.
And this AurenKarach think this is balanced… I don’t want balanced game… but what he calls balanced is can’t be further away from balanced… the way it is now and it keeps shifting more and more… because of the way gaijin ads things to the game.
Going to point out one more thing just for out of context…
Z51 German destroyer. 4.7 have less guns than a 4.3 destroyers similar 128cm cannons… less torpedoes more AA… because of the AA it got pushed higher than a more capable destroyer with more guns… how is that balanced? Not to mention it’s in the same BR as the mitscher and the wilkinson… that have only 2 main gum. But that 2 main gun pumps out tripple the ammo than the Z51 can dream about…
And if we are wanting to balance and not want to get separated era than why don’t we balance out these ships too? For instance give more ammo to the German destoryers so they don’t run out if we are not want accurate era system why bother being accurate when it comes to equipment? Why the soviet tanks have radio in them? Most T-34 had only flags to signal to each other… so let’s decided already what we do with this bull@hit balancing let’s be consistent about it or don’t do it at all…
Yes, wanting a PVP game to be competitively balanced is what’s mad, not historical matchmaking, trust me bro.
Moments like these make me wish there was a laugh reaction on this forum.
I don’t “think” it’s balanced. I can just check Statshark. Vehicle win rates, K/D… That will tell me how well or poorly a vehicle is performing.
German tanks could not employ their full turret rotation speed while on the move. But in War Thunder my Tiger II can rotate its turret at max speed under any condition.
WT is way more arcadey than people realise. Always has been. This is because it’s primarily a shooter game with mass appeal, rather than a full blown sim. It’s fine to prefer something else, but it’s pointless to expect WT to be something it’s not. Like I said, there are other games.
