a number of high level players join berlin or Normandy axis in order to get higher rank. If noobs stick to play berlin and Normandy axis, they can become marshal in the future as well. Hence, you can’t distinguish the gaming skills based on the rank system. It just breaks the game balance and make nobody gonna play berlin soviet or Normandy allies side as there is very little chance get a win these few days.

Whats really to be gained by rank anyway? You get some prize if you get to the top, but apart from that, as long as you get an award you break even if you lose. (afik)
I think it’s kind of cool, but I can’t see it really being a factor in game, or one that makes players go out of their way to farm for points, at least not more than they already are.
Rank doesn’t mean crap. Im still SGT because real life has taken my time up. But I can defeat general and above rank players with ease.

The ranking system is flawed.
Relying on a team full of idiots to win instead of your own skill is the most stupid ranking system someone can come up with.
The devs should rethink the ranking system if they really want it in the game and instead come up with a ranking system based off of your own performance. IE. How many kills and assist in the round. The hero medals. how many points defended and captured. This would more push people to PTFO instead of being scared of the enemy and running away. Which i have seen the majority of time since this update has come out.
I don’t actually know the reason why they have the ranking system in the game. Matchmaking is already broken as it is (If there is any in the first place.) Majority of the time the “High ranks” players are all on one team and not actually that good at the game.

agreed. not to mention it has now skewed the matchmaking immensely, every match in normandy- WITHOUT FAIL, on allies every team, in all like 30 matches ive played since season start, has been maybe one or two gold ranking players (myself included) vs an axis team of 4-5 gold ranking players, usually marshals too. its fucking broken.
I mean I just played a confrontation match where I nearly matched the score of one of their top players, but their ENTIRE TEAM had over 1k points each, where allies only had the top 3 over 1k maybe. match didn’t even last more than 11 mins. the devs obviously skewed the matchmaking since the update because Ive been loosing match after match after match, I win maybe one in ten where it was actually even before.
I play every campaign.
I m max level on everything besides Moscow alies (level 25 I belive)
And i m yet to have a single problem winning matches even on campaigns like Stalingrad alies or Tunisia axis.
And i m marshal 400+ points.
And no, if you are decent in the game, you or no one need to join the easy side to win. Every campaign plays the same if you are good enough.
I agree but I also agree that it should be very much more encompassing and included a kill death ratio factor.
It should look At, as many factors as possible, you should have time and aircraft time in tanks, Time capturing, time defending, kills per time, and as I noted above a positive kill death ratio, and it should look at other disciplines like using mortars, using artillery, how many rallies you build, AA guns anti-tank guns et cetera.
And there should be best player categories in all of the disciplines, so you might have best sniper best rifleman et cetera, and then whoever is the best in all of those categories would wind up being the number one player.
I do agree that in general the system they have needs to be improved, and obviously I would like to see much more detail, but I think it’s a step in the right direction namely that they’re actually doing it, The biggest single problem at the moment of course is that it does encourage some of the more negative aspects of gameplay, primarily it encourages people to leave the game
The issue with involving the kd factor is it will encourage people to focus on kills over the objectives and team work.
All they Focus on now is kills
And wining of course, many will leave the game as soon as it looks at all like they will lose
