It is *fairly* accurate, but what it means in practice is that a badly performing player can gimp his lineup by sticking in 1 high-rated BR plane, like a B17, and end up with it in a match with my 3.7 planes. Granted, it doesn't mean B17 spammage, but it means you're facing nearly unkillable bombers, which may be maxed out on bombload, with little chance of killing them unless they're stupid enough to dive, or you're bringing Yak9's to the table.
My feeling, as well as seemingly a lot of the WT forum members, is simply that the basic BR spread (1.3) is far too wide. I'd much rather wait a bit longer, and fight similar planes, than be dropped into a match within 15 seconds, but end up facing stuff much higher.
Also, how bad does this make the game for beginners??!? As soon as they get their first 2.3 BR plane, without upgrades, (think Hurricane Mk2b) they get dumped into some matches where they're seeing 3.7 BR planes packing 20mm cannons, rockets, and a few 37mm insta-kill planes. Hardly fair, or fun, and I can only see it driving people away.
Don't think I'll have a lot of time by the time I get in from archery tonight and have my tea, but I may be on. I'm no entirely sure this method will improve gameplay.... i.e. camp and snipe 3 tanks before you can fly a plane to bomb tanks.... but we'll have to see!
Should make it later though
