DF still trying to sugarcoat their playerbase issues with bots using player names…
Didn’t read the Op or the thread.
Problem right now is simple: Germany was 1/2 of the game
USSR was 3/5ths and US was 2/5ths of the second half. (No one cares about japan they’re like probably less than 1% tbh ngl fr fr ong no lie not capping on u rn)
That means PURELY ON THE BASIS OF THE CAMPAIGNS
50% were german players
30% were USSR
and 20% were USA. The USA is also pulled into japanese matches now.
Obviously these numbers aren’t quite correct but it’s a good basis for my argument.
Because there were SO MANY GERMANS in comparison to the other nations and obviously, US and USSR players can’t mix in a battle at any one time, so it is effectively 50% vs 30% and 50% vs 20%.
Because of this disparity, the BR system ‘prefers’ the german player. Tier 5 is full of them, so the overflow (because there’s only so many t5 players in the other nations) get downtiered. Because T5 can be dropped to T3, what happens to T3 germany?
T3 germany is dropped down to T1 or T2. And nowhere is this more apparent than with the Panzer 4 J. I have nothing against it or it’s BR, but there is one problem:
The PZ4 J was the default tank for berlin germans. This means a majority of players will have it unlocked and usable. This means, many german players will be at T3 and be able to be downtiered to T1/2. For those that ground further and have other T3 equipment, they might as well bring it. From panzerfausts to mg34’s, they’ll have a lot more tools and be a lot more able to use them.
This population disparity also means that a higher number of matches will be full for germans but filled in with bots for the others.
There will always be a population disparity, to be honest, because two separate factions have to fight one. It’s worse for the USSR, as well, since the USA will be dragged into pacific matches and increase the disparity further.
Honestly, I’m not sure how to fix it. +/- 1 BR will help, though, I think. Better would be, perhaps, 1-2, 3, and 4-5 matches. Or 1-2, 3-4, 5. Something like that.

They dont know
Oh, to add to my point
Because T5 is so full of germans, any allied player that tries to play T3 or T4 will be pulled up to T5 with high regularity. This is partially because so many germans are being downtiered from T3 to T1/2 that it’ll be a bit of a crapshoot to actually get an even match as anyone.
So, soviets are stuck at T2 (rip the ppsh-41 box) because if they go higher they’re sent into hell, but they’ll always be fighting in an uptier against pz4J’s and panzerfausts and whatever else germany gets at T3.
