We all know that, the BR system will ruin the game, I have a solution

Quick preface, devs are going to enact a major game breaking feature in the new update. The BR system. Long story short, this absolutely will not work, because it’s easily exploitable by seasoned players and will allow people to farm new players - increasing the barrier for entry, reducing playcount, and ultimately making this a very toxic game.

So the solution is simple.

We have leagues instead, they’re in FIFA, Rocket League, and COD. 3 of the most popular competitive games on the planet. As you play, and win, you move up in leagues, each season you retain most of the league status you had in the previous season.

We already have the player rating system, so it technically wouldn’t be that hard to enact. All you’d have to do is code the matchmaking to put you in matches with other players of the same rank, +/- 5 levels. Simple.

I’m not going to go on a long speel about how this will benefit the game because it’s pretty evident. The ramifications too - are far better than the BR system.

That’s terrible idea way worse than BR levels/merge.

Why’s that?

And you think the BR system isn’t? Why is that?

Players will definitely appear who will specifically lower the rating in order to have fun over new players.

players will still be motivated to use their best gear, on highest tier they can because that always lowers the chance of fighting against people with better guns/tanks/planes.

Im sure any small issue will be solved during testing. That is why.

This is the problem.

Enlisted is not meant to be competitive. And what you are suggesting is essentially a ranked gamemode.

And like Valkay wrote (0.1s before me), raking will encourage ppl to use the best gear and the most scummy tactics possible to get one step higher on the ladder.

with 80% of your team being bots, this would ruin the game.

I would rather have the brs work like the years of the war. This also would preserve historical accuracy to some extent. (1939 - 1940, 1941-1942, 1943-1944, 1945)

you just disqualified yourself from being credible in any way.

What is this terrible crap.

It wouldn’t solve anything because players eventually reach a high level anyway.

And it would end up with weak players (those who cry the most about balance) playing against good players.

Won’t work well, it will create huge imbalance. For example, Kv1(L11) is a 1939 tank and t34(1940) is a 1940 tank. The best tank Germany got in game for 1939-1940 is a panzer 4E.

fair enough, but with weapons I would not mind, due to the fact that a person does not have more armor in 1945 compared to 1939. Perhaps they could split vehicles and weapons in a way. Much rather than having vg’s in moscow

Personally I still think that spawn score would solve most unbalance in the game without nerfing, segregation or locking stuff.

Spawn a tiger or 4 T-34s.
Spawn 9 plebs with volksturmgewehr or 4 guardsman with ppsh and armour.

It can even solve HA issues.
Spawn with 9 period accurate weapons or with 4 more expensive but time traveling ones.

I’d love to have a big gamemode with such rules.

That is a great idea, I was thinking something along the lines myself. Kv1’s for example were sparsely used on during operation Barbarossa

this is a vehicle infantry combat game what do you mean “Perhaps they could split vehicles and weapons in a way.” you cant split vehicles and infantry

18

Infantry has always been the main focus, whether you like it or not. Aircraft trees and tank trees have been split in warthunder too. However, I agree more with the idea of @VoyoMayPL , sp is a much better solution, due to the fact supply etc. is also a thing

your whole premise is illogical. ive seen this fallacy DOZENS of times here and i have lost my very last hope for intelligence among the playerbase due to that.

currently: sweatlords with level 40 equipment are queued against level 1 beginners → 100 round BAR vs. bolt action kar98k.

with the new BR system: sweatlords with the formerly level 40 equipment can only play this against OTHER high level equipped players, no more stupid noobbashing.
→ high level stuff only plays against high level stúff and new players with weak stuff only play against other with weak stuff.

mofos constantly claim " but now there will be noob bashing bc old players will play against weak players"…LOL its already the case but after the merge they wont be allowed to use high level stuff and with low level stuff only it will be MUCH fairer than right now.

getting tired of reading that nonense every single day.
