The BR Battle System is in Nice Words Crap, Useless, Unfair, Dump and so on. The Problem with it is Following, I dont know why the Developer are Ignoring this Issue but it Destroys the Whole Gameplay because of it either the Developer will Change it or this game will become War thunder 2.0 and nobody likes then to play some Nations because of this Issue i Catorigized it below and
If you got an Full BR 3 then you EXPECT to Play against BR 3 Only and not being Smashed by BR 4 Players which Stronger Equipment, Sweaters that destroys the whole Match entirely, in which you either take it or say no F#ck this i am gonna Leave it. The Same goes for BR 1, BR 2, BR 3, 4 and 5. The whole BR Match system isnt Good at all and this makes the Players leave the Game Behind and thats why the People leave for this Reason.
You get Outmatched by an Higher BR as example ya play BR 1 Japanese and your Enemy has BR 2 Weapon/Vehicle what do you have, right NOTHING, No AA or Tanks you couldn’t defeat that bloody Guy because you have nothing and that is Crap.
The BR Match Throws you into Higher People which isnt fair at All, you will either Lose or Leave the Lost Match because how bloody hard that damn Match is because you couldnt do nothing besides leaving.
What is the BR Expected to do when you got nothing for the Pioneer right nothing.
Higher BR Vehicles are ALWAYS Stronger than the lower BR Vehicles and that is an Fact.
What is the Idea ya may ask?
The Matchsystem will and Should be Divided like everyone else Suggested a long time ago.
BR 1 will only Fight BR 1
BR 2 will only Fight BR 2
BR 3 will only fight BR 3
BR 4 will only fight BR 4
BR 5 will only fight BR 5
Dividing has many good Reasons and there are 8.
You dont get Uptiered which doesnt Demotivates you.
You will have a good Match which doesn’t get Destroyed by Stronger BRs.
This will ease the GRIND by 34-40%.
You won’t have to Wait 1-2 Minutes.
It will make the People Lesser Leave a Battle
Factions won’t be that Bad because of Higher BRs since you fight Evenly.
You have good Game Matches that are Fair and not being S###.
You will not be Demotivated because you wont fight High BRs
But sadly you can’t, you can only fight br5 america as br4 japan
I know it’s sad but that just how -+1 works
You’re dumb ass puts in a piece of br4 or 5 gear and bam
Lots of things the Dev’s refuse to fix. Match making, AI squad bots, body armor and so on. They have their agenda, and I feel like if we want something that happens to be on their agenda, great, if not, we’re just peeing into the wind with our requests.
I had my Patience about this Issue since the Merge Happened but then i said to myself NO this can’t and should not be Happening with it because each higher BR has Stronger Equipment then the Lower BRs.
It’s honestly frustrating to watch. This is one of the most universally-requested changes on the forum — near-total support, poll after poll — and yet we still get the same two things: contrarian edgelords trying to derail the thread, and complete radio silence from devs
we all can actually guess why they won’t do it. A full BR split means five separate matchmaking queues, which fragments the playerbase so hard that unpopular factions at unpopular BRs would take forever to find a game. The ±1 system exists to keep queues alive, not because it’s fair. but instead of explaining it to us like adults, they just… don’t say anything. Which makes people assume it’s laziness or indifference, that might be more accurate anyway.
As for the “I want to fight BR5 Americans as BR3 Japan” guy — shitstirer, nobodys stopping you. Drop a single BR5 gun into your lineup and go get farmed to your heart’s content. You don’t need to sabotage a good suggestion for the rest of us just because you enjoy getting stomped.
we just yelling into the void. Thats not a community problem. That’s a communication problem, and it’s been going on for years
I play for myself Japan and i struggle sometimes with Higher BRs because how bloody hard this is with High BRs Equipments which is not a good idea, i am a Mid Player not Good Not Bad, I build, I Bomb, I heal, I Support but Still lose because of the High ups. I think Dividing the Battle BR Matches will help and kinda Kill some but it isnt fair for Newer Players, Old Rabbits [Veterans] and for the Community itself.
And waiting 5 to ten minute in ques is
I join any faction and it can still take up to 2.5 minutes
-+0 plus x faction only and who knows what the wait tine is or how man people quit only making it worse
A full hard separation would be too extreme. We should at least separate BR‑4 from BR‑5 first.
There is a natural, nearly uncrossable gap between full‑auto and semi‑auto weaponry.
BR‑1 through BR‑4 are reasonably balanced overall, apart from the huge jump in tank performance between BR‑3 and BR‑4. Many poorly‑designed maps soften its impact, so the issue has not blown up completely. This has already been observed on the Chinese server.
Too harsh a separation would create a bad meta. Germany would dominate BR‑4 and BR‑5, while US and Soviet players flood BR‑2 and BR‑3 to steamroll German and Japanese forces. Everyone stays inside their comfortable favourable brackets. Matches get filled with bots, players only farm AI targets with little real human‑versus‑human combat. Player skill stops improving, and the community will shrink over time.
I would prefer a milder solution.
For example: when BR‑X players get matched into BR‑X+1 lobbies, BR‑X players can make up no more than one‑third of the total players. This caps the amount of under‑tiered participants.
That said, separating BR‑4 and BR‑5 is mandatory.
BR‑4 vehicles get completely crushed in BR‑5 matches with almost no way to fight back. Only Germany can somewhat hold on, thanks to its triple‑MG squads at BR‑4.
No, that is not what happened. The Chinese server actually implemented the hard separation the OP suggested, yet the match environment did not improve at all.
Instead, it grew rather stale, and you ended up seeing more low‑skill players
Sure, the only change I agree with is setting strict player‑ratio limits between BR‑4 and BR‑5. Even an 8‑to‑2 ratio of BR‑5 over BR‑4 per match would be acceptable.
Comparing it to War Thunder, sending BR‑4 into BR‑5 lobbies is like taking 5.7 vehicles into a 6.7 game. You stand almost no chance of winning.
Right now, BR bracket fluidity does have its advantages.
Still, this game does not have a large playerbase. Most people gravitate toward Gaijin’s War Thunder. There are plenty of good WWII‑themed games out there; Enlisted is not irreplaceable. Setting aside weapon research and combat simulation, its map design is pretty bad. The little hills in Stalingrad count as the highest terrain across the whole game, and Far‑East maps would infuriate people familiar with that region.
They avoid filling lobbies with AI partly due to low daily active player numbers.
But Anton also dislikes players farming huge scores off endlessly suicidal bots. Even when there are not enough real players, they make you wait for ages instead of filling slots with AI.
Anton is quite petty. He thinks about many things, yet rarely for the players’ benefit. He fears giving players too many rewards will take away their motivation to play. His mindset resembles that of 18‑century capitalists.
