Matchmaker
Single BR difference matchmaker matches are preffered (I-II , II-III, III-IV etc)
If 2 BR spread match is made, limit the top dogs in BR to just 4 or 5 players max per team
If someone has been getting a lot of matches where hes under dog in BR, the matchmaker should try to give him next match as top BR player.
I believe that BR6 should be made by splitting BR5 up into its better half and it’s BR5 half.
But what you’ve done is completely made BR6 a worthless addition by docompressing everything except BR5. Realistically all they should do is split BR5 in half and push the better half into BR6, the only weapons that would need extra work would be the early select fire rifles, and by work I mean heavy needs to minimize the difference between a 10 round semi auto and an early select fire
Japan could get a 10 round Type Hei long as a BR4 rifle, plus one of their many mortars as a high tier mortar, otherwise the Chi Ri is a good BR4 tank while they get good enough aircraft to fight American planes.
America needs the Corsair and 50 round M1928a1 to be dropped down to BR4, a 40 round BAR or some other machine gun cause the Johnson doesn’t cut it, and some kind of rifle as an upgrade to the M1 Garand. If BR6 does ever happen then the M2 Carbine could be kept at BR5 with a nerf or two (if needed).
This will hit the same hurdles that every other BR request hits, Gaijin will say there is not enough players to add a BR VI, so, at least IMOP that part is a non starter. I seriously doubt that any additional BR levels will be added.
A BR VI wouldn’t even be needed if the Dev’s would just give us a true 0/0 match making system, something we’ve been asking for since Moses parted the Red Sea . However, they run into the same hurdle with Gaijin, not enough players. Too much micro management from Gaijin and not enough listening to their player base, in my humble opinion that is.
Well I can understand the desire to have a separated high tech/semi post war setting, but yeah, I’d rather see one BR removed than added for the MM sake.
Id gladly take one less BR for ±0MM
And add even one less BR for the ability to directly choose the map and gamemode I want to play.
For war time settings we only need BR1 early war, BR2 mid war and BR3 late war anyways.
While I agree about the need for BRVI/ experimenting with it, I dislike the idea here.
BRVI should primarly be for jets and for tanks such as Tiger II (H), Super Pershing, Ho-Ri and future IS3-T44 tanks for Soviets since current BRIV tanks and planes struggle a lot with these tanks and jets.
I see no reason for 20rd SAs being BRV, especially since afaik there isnt even a 20rd TT SA rifle ingame and only like two guns exist. BRV should be for 10rdish SF rifles and VI for 15-30rd rifles albeit I am not sure if US and Japan have such magazines for their prototype rifles (T20, not M2).
Your MG system sucks, MG34/ DP27 work against BR2 and MGs generally are overrated. Current system mostly works saved for a couple of overrated MGs in BR4 (imo MG42 and Johnson). BRVI should be for guns such as Stinger.
Cant complain about SMGs because I dont know how SMG ratings works in the first place.
Yes but actually no, not yet anyway. Firstly, as @Gulyás_Bandit pointed out, the US and Japan still need additions in BR4 (Japan still doesn’t have an assaulter weapon for Br5 yet either, if memory serves). Secondly, ±0 Br matchmaking is a hard requirement before a Br6 should even be considered imo.
