FailBoatCaptain 439 Report post Posted January 23, 2021 Yeah I said it . Matchmaking thunder. When you see unbalanced teams and constant up tiers it just makes all the other issues in the game worse. Play a 3.3 lineup get 4.3 game where the other side gets 3 or 4 player 4.3 squads and when you look at the team lineup one side has all or the majority of the top tier players. Wow what fun and engaging gameplay . Makes GE wagers kinda useless when you load in a game and one side dominates because they have all or most of the top tier lineups . 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaszekJones 853 Report post Posted January 23, 2021 One of the biggest problem today. +/- 1 it's okay but BR compress make small BR changes in vechicles to big value in fight. Maybe some day they change this, but i dont belive for that now :x 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You fly in one 4.0 plane your BR is 4.0 not 3.7 I totally agree with this fix and I think it would eliminate this issue, but the argument I see all the time is that this would cause long wait times to get into battles. Personally, I'd be willing to have longer wait times than play in a badly matched up-tier battles. Up-tiered air domination battles in arcade are just not fun, IMO. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
f_ritz 24 Report post Posted January 27, 2021 My solution would be to decrease the BR spread to 0.7. If your team is getting stomped on (at any BR), don't spawn in your whole lineup. Just leave the match and play AI battles or test flight (or another nation) for like 5 minutes. Given the duration of the games nowadays crewlock isn't much of an issue. Most of my crewlocks nowadays come from matches ending too quickly because strafing defenseless bots somehow contributes more to winning a match than PvP. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryJaneMinded@psn 10 Report post Posted February 4, 2021 Try top tier I have had several occasions where I used my 9.3 loadout (yes I have one 9.7 in it)and am uptiered to face 10.7 I think I read in the wiki it will widen search to higher br to avoid excessive wait times but this has happened after a 30 second wait how the hell does that work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearteeth 139 Report post Posted February 23, 2021 I've gotten pretty mercenary about it. My best SL gain is with a stack of 3.7 Russian lend-lease premiums, which I use to pay for my jet repairs and also ruin the new player experience. I just bought the f-89 and why on earth would I fly it out at higher than 7.0 when the game lets me? I mean, it shouldn't let me, and I feel a twinge of guilt as I'm multi-killing the early jets and props from 1000kph with BRRRRRT cannons... For now it's a novelty and all, but really, at some point I'm going to feel that I didn't get my value for dollar buying that premium because using it makes me feel shame.

PARAMI 478 Report post Posted February 24, 2021 The +/- 1 BR matchmaking in most BRs is fine, imo--it's more of what you fly in AB when it comes to props. If you're in a decent plane, you can usually find a way to win against any plane within your BR bracket in a full uptier. But take that with a grain of salt; imo half of the fighters in the game (especially those with lots of guns and/or heavy fighters) are massively overtiered, while meta planes like the 109 f4 an J2M2 are massively undertiered, so that might play a role in matchups regardless of BR. But if you're noticing matchmaking at low BRs, wait until you get to higher jet BRs--the performance gaps between planes with even like 0.3 or 0.7 BR difference is so large that you might end up going 300-400 kph slower than your opponent at any time.

Don't know how long you have played, but I have many years and lots of money invested. When my squadron is placed against other squadrons, the game favors enemy team by far. You can take what I say as being a sore loser, but there are many people that notice this daily. Gaijin will never see another cent of my money due the many issues with new players getting buffed, other squadron bouncing many of our shots, the game servers being trash since last major update, ect. I have watched them take a great game down to a game will not tell anyone about due to how it cheats for teams. It sucks to know what I know.
