Because the IS-3 was monstering everything at BR 7.0 (apparently) since the new changes to the way they calculate shell penetration, thanks to its' pike nose and very sloped armour.

So Gaijin bumped it up to BR 8.0 in one go... rather than raising it bit by bit!

I've not played anything up really high in tanks, although my 6.7's often end up fighting 7.0 and 7.7, the top end of the tech tree really is too compressed in its' BR rankings, but then again there's not many people who have such tanks so if you spread the BR's out to 9.0 or 10.0 max, you'd be waiting ages for games.

Stupid massive research costs. :( I'm still not going to use Eagles to research stuff, I'd rather just play at BR 3.7 and have fun.
 
Same matt, my Russian and US lineups are around 4.0 I deliberately try to keep them below the Tiger/IS threshold while I slowly grind away at the higher tier tanks which seem to take forever to unlock.

My only observation is the large T34 spam at lower BR's due to their sloped armour making them feel OP.

Wait.... are you suggesting that the T34 is... overpowered?? :confused:

Working as intended comrade! :p
 
Things seem better the past few days at BR 6.0 in RB. I've found the sweet spot is BR 5.7/6.0 for me in my German tanks. I used to end up against IS-3's a lot but now it's T26's and IS-2's and nothing more (occasional T28). This is just fine since I have maxed crew and Ace status on my Panther D ;)
 
Well, seems like a new tank appears to have sneaked in the back door - I don't remember it being here before the last patch? :confused:

Anyhow, yes it's BR 8.0 so I'll probably never own it, but if they ever fix HEAT shells.... check dat penetration. 18GK of molten metal...

Ive found the British lineup has improved with the addition of the Fleet Air Arm fighters, its better than it used to be. The Sea Hurricane is a welcome addition to my lineup :)

(edit. Their armament seems good but their overall performance is lacking)

Heeeey, my rb flying is okay. Only tried with 2 planes but they were very wobbly. Also enemy pilots were struggling to turn on me where I am sure it would have been death previously.

Maybe they've finally made it so kb+m users don't have such a bonus with the instructor and actually made it more realistic regardless of controller? :D
