Br is split by performance, not era. Otherwise some spaa and tds in multiple trees would be a higher br than they can cope with.

i dont think the br would matter as it should be split into realism
In all honesty, we have tons of ingame prototypes when only 4 of them actually saw combat, Cold war Hungary and Italy being in the same team (same with East/West Germany and China/Taiwan), several ships that never were completed fighting alongside historical ships and so on. Realism can only go so far before it becomes unbalanced or bland.
If you ignore br and go by introduction date, the Concept 3 would have to fight Abrams and PBV 301 has to act as spaa against F-5s.

Alright. For the sake of realism, as soon as you get tracked in a match, remember to J out, since you are now mission killed.
i didnt say simulation and not the point im making, im saying since when did ww2 heavy tanks fight against cold war atgm/apfsds?? can you tell me exactly when that happened in timeline so i can understand why every reason why ww2 tanks still have to fight early cold war stuff.
dont need to j out, the crew would simply repair the track after combat is over and basically sat out in the middle of battlefeild fighting how they would irl while its repairing anyway your point makes 0 sense
War Thunder is firstly and mainly still a game with the realism and “combat simulator” part second, if you were to split it into a realistic way then you would have absolutely overperforming vehicles in WW2 while having a lot of cold war vehicles being basically useless. It is not possible to just straight up split WW2 and Cold War. The Maus was removed from the tech tree because of how hard it was to balance, now imagine it wouldn’t have any counter at all.
Yes gaijin could decompress mid tier, move some vehicles further up etc but completely separating both is not balanceable.
You hinge on the “realistic” part too much. Its a game first and foremost.
Hence you respawn, dont have to worry about supply lines, strategic bombing of your factories, transmission reliability or wear and tear of parts, crew discomfort etc.
Hence you cant “historically” balance some tanks.
Few years ago there was nomandy event with historical matchups. Wanna guess which one was the winning team?

everyone complains about the maus with its unbalanced armour because its german but i dont hear anyone complaining about the is-4m or the t-95 that are also unbalanced with armour for their time all lines have useful vehicles that all have certain capabilities its more than possible to take the tanks out with their amazing armour but people just complain and it ruins the game for people that actually know how to play and supports people that have no idea what the hell they are doing in a combat environment, yes you can argue that a lot of people dont know how to play and that would make the game unbalanced in a match but as if it wasnt already with the spawn camping issues, people need to take the time to learn how to play in combat environments and get better or the game will just keep getting worse over time, its also the reason why people install cheats and use ULQ to have an unfair advantage that makes 0 sense as to why they are both unfixed issues that have been in the game for over 2 years now
I took the Maus as an example because it was the only vehicle gaijin removed for being not balanceable.

the point still stands, its a game and they put cold war against ww2 i dont know why your trying to change the topic tho
Im not changing the topic im attacking your original assumption that WW2 tanks never saw ATGMs or APDSFS and thy should be balanced over that.

Ok, so sit still and don’t repair the track until the mission is over then! Everything for realism, no?
Yes, its a game and vehicles br are balanced/changed by player statistics and partly capabilities, not by year/era or such.

the m56 is a vietnam war vehical. whats your point not all of them are overpowered, plus cold war would include shermans like the 105
yet not fully removed it comes out once every year and did it ever actually see combat if so i would like to see photos of it from what i know it never did as it still had the box turret (no gun) after the russians found it and shot it as the turret was being made and transported
