What about introducing an option to decide how long you are willing to wait in return of less uptiers?

So I had the idea of a new Feature. What about an option that every player can change? An option next to the button to choose the gamemode which gives you 3 levels to choose:

Level 1: short waiting time but high chance of uptiers
Level 2: medium waiting time but it´s being tried more to get a match around your Br
Level 3: Long waiting time but very low chance of having a Br difference of more than +/- .3

Level 1 would be how it is right now.

I think that would be a great option because the ones that want quick matches and don´t really care about the Br can choose so but all the players who often expierience crazy uptiers where they are being killed very quick from higher Br Aircrafts (8.0 to 9.0 or 12.0 to 13.0 are good examples) can choose to have less of those games by accepting longer waiting times.

What do you guys think about that? Would you use it? Is there a problem with it that I´m missing?
Let me know!

I like uptiers because they are less pressure on me to perform.

with my version you could still get them through level 1…
but for the people who don´t like it it would be better :)

This will improve your gaming experience which is not Gaijin target, so we’ll never see something like this.

While good in theory, you need to consider that gamers will optimize the fun out of everything. If you can wait 15 minutes to not get uptiers a significant amount of players will do that even if it’s a lot more boring for them. I’d much rather have some sane decompression. It’s similar in function (increasing queue times for better match making), but it doesn’t allow for players to optimize away fun.

If premium time came with a maximum .7 up-tier, Gaijin would drown in $.

There are so many vehicles that get crushed when +1.0, but crush in -1.0.

This game would be a dream if: 0.7 spread, BR range 1.0-18.0(ish).

I can watch Utube, listen to music, make a sandwich, etc. while in the queue.

sometimes, i wish there was an option to disable getting uptiered as well as disabling downtiers in return.
Some br’s are just unplayable due to the amount of uptiers they face, and the major difference btwn those vehicles. the compression at some br’s mean all you can face are uptiers at certain times

Tornado Gr1 vs F16C (grb)
FGR2 vs F2
F111 vs M29
Chally TES vs BVM
F104 vs 9D carriers
9.7’s vs J7D

Giving players better choice would be good

also F-4EJ Kai vs F-14A, F-16s, F-18s, Su-27s, MiG-29s, different FOX-3 carriers

yeah, the EJ Kai is a very sad vehicle against majority of its matchups, compression at its finest

“Decompress” (I’ll believe it works when my 5.3 lineups stop facing Jagdpanthers on a regular basis) or reduce the BR gap down from 3 pegs to 2 or… allow us to choose.

I really don’t care HOW they do it - just friggin do something. Getting battle-pass tasks finished when you are in a full uptier is so frustrating.

Add Level 0 for guaranteed uptiers (I have reasons)

Time to set it to “no uptiers” and play the kv1e :)

Uptiers give me more, so I’m not really against them if my lineup is okay for it.
