Like who, it is a fact that you are at a disadvantage when using a Non-APHE bullet, having a win rate of 50% is not a factor, you can have a good tank and have a win rate of 40%, because you depend on others players, who tend to be from different nations, and who in many of them have APHE, although in any case it generally depends on the teammates who played you. Then the 1:1 ratio with No APHE shows you that they are not as effective as tanks with APHE that could easily have a ratio of 1:1.3 or 1:1.5 or even a 1:2, you can make good ratios with No APHE but the first thing is that it depends on what the game gives you. let kill and the bullets cause damage instead of passing through the tank without fragmenting, you have to be in very protected static positions, try frontal shots to maximize the poor damage of the Non-APHE, be lucky that the enemy is alone and you don’t have enemies nearby, in short you have many more problems being on equal terms with the Non-APHE.
And nuclear shells,destruction of an entire map grid.
At least half of the players in the nation. If a vehicle does worse than average at it’s BR, it gets moved down in BR by the algorithm.
So if it hasn’t been moved down, it means the average player of that nation is performing normally well in it, compared to other vehicles at that BR in other nations.
The change in Br I think they balance them with respect to the win rate, and I already told you that the win rate depends on all the players on your team, and on the team there are more tanks from other nations, which in many cases do have APHE, Furthermore, they do not change the Br of all the tanks that stand out in the win rate.
When those teams ALSO have 50% win rates, they cannot, as a matter of mathematical fact, drag you up from 40% to 50% with them. They would have to be way higher than 50% win rate in order to drag a team of 40%'s up to 50%, just how averages work.
So no, that’s not a plausible explanation. The actual original nation itself had to be contributing as much to the team as everyone else.
they do not change the Br of all the tanks that stand out in the win rate.
They claim they do. Why do you think they would lie?
(They say they make an exception VERY rarely, like 1-2% of the time, but 98-99% of the time, they say they do)
Because I see what they do, they only change the Br mainly in tanks that were clearly too good in the April they were in, like for example the German Puma, which was in Br 8.3 and they changed it to 9.0 I think, later in all the Other tanks they only move from Br when they feel like it, putting a T-54 in Br 8.0 against a Magach 5 with APDS-FS, that’s another thing, to make these Br garbage, it would be better if they did something else, because there are some Br tanks that are absurd at the very least.
You have to keep in mind that in certain Br the British are not used much, so when you go with the British, they will always be together with Americans or Soviets and in greater quantities, since when you have a British tank, there will be 6 in your team. Soviets, 5 Americans and two or three from other nations.
The issue here is that clearly the Non-APHE bullets are unrealistically inferior to the APHE because instead of making it realistic, gaijin decided to use the fantasy of death spheres for the APHE and the other bullets would have absolutely random damage, where sometimes you do spalling, others not, in some a lot of spalling, in others 0 spalling, and even on top of that you will depend on whether the enemy has many or few bullets inside, because a side shot with APHE is almost always death, whereas with No APHE you will depend on the bullets what it carries, if the enemy only has 10 bullets, your non-APHE will have few possibilities to kill the enemy with one shot, and if your shot is one of those that do 0 spalling, the normal thing is that the enemy turns and kills you from the first shot. If that is balance for gaijin, it would explain all the amount of errors that the game has, and why the devs refuse to solve them, for my part I can only play without thinking about anything and above all without spending a single euro, since there are better things to spend money on, although it is a bit sad how a game with so much potential remains a boring game, and that it is only saved because its only competition is WOT, which is only a little more arcade and the tanks look a little worse.
You didn’t really answer the question, WHY would they lie? You stated they did so again as just like a factual claim, but you didn’t say WHY? They have no motivation here
That does not change the math I mentioned
Lying? It’s not really a lie, they simply change the Br of those they are interested in, because until recently the leopard 1 was Br 7.3? Because after this change of the Br there are some cases that are absurd, leaving tanks in the same Br When are they much better than others? By seeing the changes in those Br you realize that it does not take into account the % of victories for certain tanks.
Why not? If you always go with other countries and thanks to them you win the games, the % of victories increases even if you don’t do much in the game, what you say would be correct if it were only British against another country, since what the statistics would be from the same country and with them you could really see their effectiveness.
They have stated very clearly and many many MANY timers that they adjust the BRs of vehicles when their performance falls outside the range of other vehicles at that BR.
If what you say is true, and they only do it “when they feel like it” then that would directly contradict how they’ve said hundreds of times that BR works. So they would be lying.
I don’t think they are lying, but you seem to think they are. So I just asked you why they would? What
is their motivation?
Yes I agree the penalties to solid shot vs aphe are rediculous. Britain’s 17pdr and 20pdr are trash now due to shell shatter and the fact they never introduced post pen ricochet of apds which was very dangerous while aphe doesn’t shatter and it was famous for doing so. It’s the whole reason Brits stopped using aphe in the first place.
Saying all that solid shot can and will one shot but you need to shoot for space to give the shrapnel time to form a cone. Penning in front of modules or crew will nullify the post pen.
never
edit; gaijin profit motive is to make it as shit as possible so we are content with little changes that make it more bearable i think that puts it better
Their motivation?It’s very simple, to earn money, there are premium tanks like the tiger P or the somua sm that despite having raised the Br of almost all the tanks, they have left those where they were, and is it because of the win rate? I doubt it because the tiger P lasts longer than the tiger E, and let’s not talk about the somua sm, which is one of the best that France has in that Br, even more so because they raised all the others leaving it at Br 7.7.
That penalty is not realistic, the difference between those bullets was not that much, both bullets would cause cone-shaped damage, with the APHE being a little larger due to the explosive charge, but not much more, on the other hand all the Tungsten bullets would have to do tremendous damage due to spalling, since the tungsten breaks into many pieces, especially the APCR models and initial APDS models, and to a lesser extent the tungsten alloy ones.
The problem is that people have already gotten used to this, and that’s why gaijin is afraid to change it in case people get angry and leave the game, and as you can see there aren’t many people criticizing the damage model because gaijin leaves it as is.
Hehe, I have reached a point where I think the same thing, there are already many conformist people who, by giving them new half-bugged tanks, putting shorter maps and keeping all the bugs that the game already has, are already more than happy thanking you to gaijin for his incredible work, but hey, against the majority you can’t do anything, maybe one day things will change for the better although I think it will be difficult.
How does saying you’re going to make a balanced game in a reasonable way, then lying and making an UN-balanced game, “make more money”?
Unless you’re saying that you think all the tech tree tanks are 100% correctly positioned, and it’s ONLY the premium ones in weird spots. Is that an accurate description of your position?
Because you made it sound earlier like you were talking about all solid shot tanks, like the tech tree British firefly or avenger, for example. But since those don’t make Gaijin premium money, and that was your only motivation for them to lie, I guess you think those are correctly BR’ed right?
