Is DF going to keep current BR matchmaking system when Enlisted launch on Steam?

Watching a group of monkeys quarrel is boring
Because they always describe their own incompetence as the enemy’s strength

They probally gonna keep it and gonna get review bombed negativelyby all players who started and want to play as axis or japan.

Since axis/japan get slaughtered with no contest and most players lose intrest in a game if they get wiped constantly. My self included

Japan i stopped playing completly, since i dont like their maps, and they get steamrolled all the time,
Axis i am playing less and less axis since they lose 8 to 9 out of 10 games in low br.
Allied i also mostly stopped playing since they just steamroll everything in low br 9 out of 10 times which is boring.
Ussr is a mixed bag, since they steamroll 50% of the time, 35% it is a close fight and 15% they lose.

If they made it so it was preferable br 1/2 - 3/4 - 5.
Or the harder implement and less preferable br 1/2 - 2/3 - 3/4 - 4/5
Then it would fix some of the problems with the balance and adjust the win rate of the different nations.

I find it ironic that new players had to fight t34 with their panzer 2 pre merge and now they have to fight kv 1 with it.

Do you seriously think that the BR’s being as they are directly relates to win rates? If that was the case then all win rates should be equalized because they are all the same BR’s
Player count is the sole reason

New players play an exclusive queue of new players

For 5 matches? 10 matches? Wow so many and how long will it take to reach BR2 without a premium? Way more than that so OP’s point still stands.
In March i will be grinding new players and make them leave while playing as the Japan but don’t blame me i need xp to grind my TT and a lot of Silver.

The moment they done playing those few matches with bots, they will get Obliterated by BR3 before they can get a full BR1 squad lmao

yes, the BR set up post-steam needs to be: 1&2, 3&4, 5.
this only adds 1 additional queue and improves balance by A LOT.
→ no more up/down tiering, no more Br5 ruining balance for all lower tiered items.
→ more historic accuracy.
extra spice: i recommend the game to add 1 or 2 bots into every match (equal for both sides!) and give
these bots weapons of 1 tier higher. this will make the battles more immersive and realistic, while not affecting the balance at all, since bots do not abuse high tier weapons like real players do.

that also helps against empty lobbies

The BR at the steaming release really aught to put BR1 on its own, then BR2-3, 4-5. This too only adds 1 additional queue and keeps the steamers safe from needing rage vaccines.

I’m shocked they haven’t changed the BR system. Many players have been advocating for a 1-2, 3-4 and 5.

Some BR3 mains be like “it’s fun not knowing if you’ll fight BR1 or BR5”, but the majority of them leave all the BR5 games they get into.

What pisses me off is we have enough players for BR-1, BR-2, BR-3, BR-4, and BR-5 to be separate since theres only 3 outcomes per BR:

USSR vs Germany 5 queues total
America vs Germany 5 queues total
America vs Japan 4 queues total (5 when Gaijin kills Japan)

So 14 to 15 total queues would be acceptable, we have enough players but no, fuck us, am i right?

The jump in power aint as massive from br1 to br2 as from br1 to br3.
Stats wise on the weapons i looked on at br 3-4 are pretty close too.

Anyway lets say your right, and in that case, that players are the only thing that counts.
Then why not just drop the battle rating system and let top tier weapons and starter weapons be in the same matches, since there aint no difference as “player count is the sole reason”? :slight_smile:

Old Enlisted? Bet I love popping Puma’s and Tiger’s in the same match

Lol you need to multiply that number by 3 since there are 3 servers, so there will be 45 queues.

Servers are only preferred. You can still end up im different server when you have EU only and so.

Is there any source for that or it is just some bug?

Well, I don’t know if it’s bug or intentional for sure. :man_shrugging:

It’s genuinely astounding to me that the BR matchmaking hasn’t received A SINGLE SENTENCE of attention from the devs.

Hmm i seen some one mention this a while ago, i wasn’t sure.
Then one player here said just have EU servers selected, they are always full,
but even just having server just set to EU,
i feel something is wrong, as i still getting same amount of player in game, or lack of players

Could this just be sending me to NA server anyway, as its closer or something?

North America is much closer to Australia than both Europe and Eastern Europe.
