Was my formula how teams are build wrong the whole time?

I know the wiki sets only 3 rules for ARB:

  • BR range 1.0BR
  • max 4 planes with highest BR in this range
  • max 4 bombers

Since we have 16v16 my formula always was:
Let’s say it’s 10.0-11.0
Maxed out team is: 4x10.0 + 4x10.3 + 4x10.7 + 4x11.0
If higher tiers are missing, lower tiers filling the space:

  • 4x10.0 + 4x10.3 + 8x10.7
  • 4x10.0 + 12x10.3
  • 16x10.0
    I never had a battle breaking these formula for 16vs16.

But then I saw this:


Obviously 10.0-11.0 12vs12 but the team on the right side has 11 planes 10.3 or higher. The only way this works, it is a 16vs16 battle originally and both teams missing 4x10.0. Is it possible to have 12x10.0 vs 4x10.3 + 4x10.7 + 4x 11.0? Or is it also possible to have 16x10.0 vs 16x10.3?

What’s about 8vs8? 8x10.0 vs 4x10.7 + 4x11.0 possible?

I’m a little bit confused.

I usually see someone of my BR when playing each game even upteirs

no

you only have a limit of 4 players at the max br
so for your example there can be at most 4 players with 11.0 vehicles

but that dosent mean that you will always have 4 players at the max br in that lobby
and there is no limit to how many players of brs below that can be in a lobby

so it is possible to have one player at 11.0 and 15 players at 10.7 (that is very unlikely tho)

If you have such a battle, pls send me the screenshot.
I never saw such battles in my entire playtime.
I always check the BRs of my team, and if there are 5-8x10.7, it’s 10.0-11.0 without a 11.0 plane.
