Fixed. Most tds are not worth using. The only thing DF took into account when setting br is canon power…

or they may lose even more players cause they cant keep game populated with real players…
I don’t mind if the opponent has a PPSH and I have a bolt action rifle, as long as I can kill him from far away there’s room for both weapons. With the reduced efficiency of bots a shoot-hide-reload tactic with rifles could decimate a better equipped enemy squad.
Also not every match needs to be fair, the main focus should be on the balance. I’m okay to lose spectacularly sometimes, if I’m given the chance to win in at least one of every three matches.
(A BR5 laser-precise gun is a different beast entirely. Facing a weapon much better in all regards is not fun, when by the time you cycle through your squad to find anyone not under fire just gets killed by the time he aims.)
if that would be true - then Matilda would be a BR1 tank, Jumbo a BR3 tank, Jagdpanzer IV L70 a BR4 tank, SU 85 a BR4 tank - but heck, its even often that SPG are treated even WORSE than their much better real tank counterparts.
I thought enlisted is a game for everyone, so why do you complain now?
Free tank for everyone is unfair for people who have purchased premium account, to use another vehicle than only a tank.
(players were robbed)
Also - a clear insult for people who were asking - “fix bugs / add Manchuria / add Italy / add Super Pershing”. Because developers decided to fix “grey-zone tanks” (skill issue of beginners) instead.
They don’t get to keep the tank, and it’ll likely help new players survive some of their first few battles in a higher BR (which IS unfair), so it’s fine. Not the perfect solution, but it’s something.
And “an insult” for people asking for bugfixes? You are aware that the devs are bugfixing all the time, yeah? They still need to juggle the myriad of requests from veterans and newbies as best they can.
And greyzone camping isn’t a skill issue of beginners, but a widely contested issue among a lot of players.

Before the Merge players had to play with what they got.
It was complety normal that a player with Gewehr 33/40 + Panzer III E could face AVS-36 and T-34-76. No one complained about that.
They add new, untested mechanics, only to introduce new bugs ?
In my opinion - Gaijin is trying to maximize the player-base at the cost of quality.
Their game = their decision. But I doubt that idiots will be so eager to invest time and money here.
Lol no one complained that? Which universe did you live in? There was already many complaints, when it need to face T-50 let alone the time when T-34 was released.

I’m sorry, but I’ve never heard something that incorrect regarding this matter. Just be honest that you always need an advantage to enjoy a game…

I’m perma premium 
I don’t feel robbed at all that weaker players get a fighting chance against me.

It will depend on the exact implementation, but I’m doubtful how useful this will be for soviets / allies in BR3-5. I guess your chances are more or less the same in BR3 or BR4 vs the usual BR5 heavy opponents which you wont frontal pen anyway.
That’s one of the takes of all time. Based on fiction or misguided imagination.

Stop the freaking elastic matching. Same BR mathing solves everthing.
If I already read this nonsense, none of this would be necessary if the MM would work even rudimentarily. Of the last 30 games on T2, I had T3 opponents in every game. Of course, this is possible, since you are matched at T2 ±1 level. However, the team composition is really a joke, in the last game at least 8 of the 10 opponents were T3, while in our team almost exclusively T1 players. I would like to say that this is an exception, but this is rather the rule! Finally open a separate MM for T3!
That actually makes sense to me. There is even the name of t95 doom turtle in the editor. You can see the doom turtle in one of the promotional images of the unknown war event

These “Replacement Tanks” are not performing its designated anti-tank duties. More precisely, some of them are even anti-infantry tanks.
Soviet:
BR I-III: T-50
BR III-V: KV-1 (ZiS-5)
For the matter of anti-tank T-50 is no difference with T-26 or BT-7, and the only reason it could barely qualified for this position (IMO) was that the German tanks were lack of turret armor. KV-1 (ZiS-5) is clearly that anti-infantry tank of BR IV.
The good choices for this role could be the SU-76M and SU-85M, but the former is premium while the latter is BR V (who have ever saw this in battle?) so whatever.
USA
BR I-III: Crusader
BR III-V: M4A3E2 Jumbo
Crusader is fine but Jumbo is exactly that anti-infantry tank of BR IV and even V. Where the hell of those M10 and M18 GMCs? (Again the premium M8A1 GMC is the suitable low-BR tank destroyer IMO.)
Germany:
BR I-III: Panzer IV Ausf. E
BR III-V: Panzer IV Ausf. H
Pz IV E is the WTF of being this Replacement Tank as it cannot even against some BR II tanks, and clearly an anti-infantry tank. You must replace it with Pz III J1 or Marder.
Pz IV H, well, it already has been blamed for should not be in BR IV for many times. Why not use the Jagdpanzers?
Japan:
BR I-III: Ho-I
BR III-V: Chi-To
Same, Ho-I is that anti-infantry tank. I don’t understand why it’s not the Ho-Ni I.
Chi-To is the only BR IV tank for Japan so nothing else.
The important thing is, these Replacement Tanks are provided for the weakest players of the team, so never bother if tanks are too OP, especially for BR I. (How can people even consider a low-BR tank is OP than high-BR tank?)
As it was said “don’t have to buy” so I believe it is ok if premium tanks were provided. The Bots are already deploying premium squads!

The “Replacement Tank” could have been a perfect oportunity to make Tank destroyer usable (maybe even allowing the player to choose themselves which one they want to get or something) but instead you just get a random tank from the tech tree that is certainly not suited to deal with the issue…

Might be that the player with hte Crusader chose to not take the “replacement”.
