Winter BR changes are coming! (15th June)

http://forum.warthunder.com/index.php?/topic/245885-battle-rating-changes-10062015/

The hopeless SU-85 gets a drop, and I'm abandoning my quest for the IS-3 now as it's getting a full 1.0BR increase.

Meanwhile the non-premium Chaika gets dropped to 2.7, which is still 0.7 too high.

Yak9K BR reduction - LOL! :D :eek: :confused: Because the Soviet UFO derp-cannon needs more kills.

Mustang and Hurricane 1C getting 3.7's each. That's about what we were expecting, but I'd massacre Hurricane's all day long in my Spit 2b!

Pleased about the D9, Welly and Mossie in RB, yay reduction! Funny about the T44 and SU-152 RB reductions :/

It's very difficult to get folks to drive different tanks when some are clearly just quite poop, it might be good for the MM system to spread this about. I would hope the selection of tanks is not first-come, first-serve but is instead random. I.e. shove them in your line-up then see who gets to take it out.
I'll reserve judgement until we get to test it a bit and see how it plays out.

but that is going to cause the same problem I mentioned previously, if someone doesn't get to drive the tank they want they'll simply bail and join another game until they do get in their tank of choice,

but yea I'm really only speculating here myself and maybe the new system might work a treat, but if experience tells me anything it's that gaijin will definitely screw it up in some way! :p

I'd be really surprised if folks bailed out of the game but maybe I'm being generous with player maturity and stuff here.

Have you not seen the butthurt about air dom matches? And people in all-bomber lineups ragequitting? :p

I *MAY* have figured out the reasoning behind the new proposed MM system.
(because I thought like a greedy Russian developer :()

The new play may work in that it allows each team to take out say, 10 heavy tanks, 10 SPG's, and unlimited medium tanks. It may be random who is allowed to take out what, but I guarantee you're going to need a lineup of MORE than 3 crewed up tanks to be able to fully participate: i.e. Enter a battle with a Tiger and 2x Pz4's, and I bet you won't get to take out your Tiger.

Logic behind it is to get more people to 'crew up' tank slots which are currently sitting idle, which thus costs premium currency.

Let's re-visit this post in a few months and see eh? :p

This game has by far one of the most immature player base I've played. The number of folks even in AB tanks who quit out before they've fired a shot is frightening.

I've had folk quit out and actually type on screen they are quitting because they took the wrong ammo type!!

I'd say only CSGO has a worse player base when it comes to immaturity and acting like a kid.

I could easily envision folk spawning in just to stop others getting the tank they want and then sitt my in spawn 'lol'ing' and chat spamming. There's just no positives I can see from limiting tank types in this way. But as I've already stated I'm only speculating here. Might not be anything like that in the end.

I've been trying to figure out their angle all morning and was stumped, but I gotta say I think you've hit the nail on the head. Gaijin be looking paid yo!
 
This MM change will probably stop me wanting to play now.....

At 6.7 you can expect to see swathes of Tiger 2's, its the only german heavy at that tier!! If I was to take out my german lineup it would include one so I'd expect to be able to use it. No point moaning about there being loads of them as they are pretty easy to kill anyway.

Also think about the time when we unlocked the is-2's and they were the only heavy hitter we had at 6.7, now imagine four of us rolling into a game with 1 6.7 heavy and 2 4.7 spud guns, and not being allowed to use them.

When I'm soloing in my t54 nothing else can pen at that tier, so I'll be in the leagues of quitters now when I can't use it.

I don't agree with quitting out at all but I reckon this will be pushing me to it!

e: I should say, yes Matts got it on this one, its a blatant cash grab to make sure all the tankers buy 9 crew slots to maximise what they can use, however I now expect to see half full teams within 2 mins of starting.

I knew they'd mess this game up by getting too greedy..... Time to look for something new to play me thinks,

Yea definitely. Hopefully something we all enjoy as it's a pretty good bunch we have here. As I posted previously had I not got a years premium recently is have uninstalled by now.

Gaijin are just trying to screw people over now
 
Unfortunately agree with both of those posts, only reason I want to continue playing solo it to grind stuff out, but as proved recently by the mm they're driving us away from playing as a squad IMO, who wants to play against a stacked team in a tank or plane they don't want??
 
Gentlemen, let us not lose heart!

Let us set an arbitrary self-imposed BR limitation of 3.7 maximum! :D (maybe for a couple of weeks?)

If we're not having fun squadded up at 3.7 BR or lower, then we're not doing it right ;)

Thoughts?

(screw research. and MM derping)

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves?

I don't mind planeing (is that a even word??) at 3.7, but I just love my Russian tank line up at ~6.0, is-2 and T44 etc. I had to grind at 3.7 tanks for so long it kinda sickened me off them :(
I know that's my own doing but I almost hate 3.7 tanks now :(:(

Maybe if I take a short break the love will return but for now I just feel like I've been royally fisted by gaijin!
 
Trust me Wango, as someone who's taken long breaks I can assure you love doesn't return.... but it's kinda like going a long time without pasty smashing a lazy disinterested girlfriend.... you know when you eventually crack and get stuck in it's going to be just as unstimulating as the last time and you'll probably feel the wrong kind of dirty and seedy but hey we all have needs :D


As for a game if I hadn't just fallen on a massive run of bad luck and struggling not to fall into a severe bout of depression I'd suggest EVE, and OCUK corp would rock!

Oh Christ Eve, one of them space exploration halte thingies where you spend 100's of hours (and sometimes money!!) getting shop how you want it only for some **** to blow it up. Hell's no:p

I refuse to play subscription games as I don't always have the time to justify a monthly out lay and my time is only going to get more limited in the very near future. I want a game I can drop in and out of - main reason I've been on csgo. I've been pumping a bit of time into Project Reality (free download) and I could genuinely see us getting on pretty well with that. You don't need mega aim skills, you can be blind as a bat and still suppress any enemy fire team long enough to get out of dodge if your team works together. I played a game the other evening for a but with a couple of guys who took me under their wing and it was genuinely a fun filled experience. In game comms on it is very very good.

I can't go back to eve, it's the slowest paced game on earth! Maybe they'll sort the mm properly soon an it'll be as good as it used to be, we can live in hope!

Ideally yes they sort MM, but they also need to sort out the 'stealth nerfing' I've been banned (not sure if permanently - must check) and had my threads hidden/deleted from the gaijin forums for repeatedly asking why this was happening. I kept getting told 'oh you've just run into a game with better players than you' fair enough that does happen (a lot! Lol) but no one can convince me this isn't a thing that's happening in the game.
 
I picked up one of the packs over the weekend for £20. An armoured KV-1, an IL-2M, 4000 Eagles and 15 days prem. Seemed good value and both were welcome additions to my 4.3BR Russian ground forces lineup for Realistic Battles :)
