ass opposed to what br4 becoming the new br5
You’re only making BR3 the new BR5 with this
which is different from making br4 the new br5 how?
BR3 and BR4 has the same type of guns, BR5 brings in guns, jets, and more that BR4 doesn’t have, and BR4 is basically defenseless to BR5 greatly in comparison to BR3 taking on BR4
and br4 is universally better there is no br3 does this better or worse than br4
br4 is a universal upgrade
Not really. A lot of BR IV equipment was downtiered to BR III, so realistically BR IV is just BR 3.5, since most weapons are interchangeable with one another and perhaps the most balanced between BRs out of all the matchmaking combinations.
Great idea but in practice we have too few players therefore queues will be too long, hence why the devs have never done it. They probably want to, but they physically can’t.
how is a 30 round thompson interchangeable with a 50 round
i do agree if we had the player base that 0± would be the goal
but even warthunder cant do a ±1 with 10 brs
The only difference is 20 rounds, and reload times
Yeah, but the 30 round Thompson isn’t fighting the 50 round Thompson, is it? It’s fighting a 40 round Kiraly, which has less damage still than a Thompson. The BAR will always be the let down in the Allies tree, but everything else is pretty competitive.
a two round kill is a two round kill the kiraly is a better thompson bullet for bullet
and BR2 is dead (which… it usually is already but I think that sucks)
They should have tried this a few years ago and, in my opinion, still should. They are afraid it won’t go well (I guess) - so just run it for 1 week or 1 month as a test and see.
They absolutely should try it. I’m just trying to come up with a reason as to why they haven’t yet.
No reason to spare BR III from uptiers, the gap between BR IV and III is nowhere near the BR IV - V gap.
What kind of mental gymnastics is this? Combined with your earlier posts, it’s all clear to me now — you love playing US BR III, you’ve got a bunch of premium squads at that tier, and you thoroughly enjoy what this matchmaking gives you. So when someone proposes “isolating BR IV,” you immediately worry that BR IV players will all downmatch into BR III, which would obviously destroy your comfort zone.
And when someone proposes “±0 matchmaking,” you worry you won’t be able to stomp BR II noobs anymore.
Honestly, stop hiding behind that “not enough players” excuse. If what I said above is true, then you are rotten to the core — claiming to speak for everyone, when all you really care about is protecting your own comfort zone. It’s pretty obvious you’re the type who loves crushing other people’s favorite toys.
Your flip-flopping all over this thread is plain for everyone to see. I’ve got no problem wasting time digging up the receipts — and I’ll be throwing them in your face every single time you post. —— “Mr Don’t-touch-muh-BR 3”

So turning BR 3 into the new BR 5 is completely fine but not the BR 4 because BR 3 is your favorite BR in the game, got it. We could have skipped all that back and forth and saved so much time if you were just honest with your true intention from the beginning instead of all that pretentious thing you have said.

BR 5 definitely needs to be alone. Me personally, I am fine with BR3 & BR4 fighting together as the weapons in reality are not all that far apart. Plus, the SVT-38 loses it’s magazine advantage that the dev’s refuse to address since IMOP by removing BR5, most German factions will just use the G-43 thus leveling the semi auto playing field somewhat.
If the the Dev’s would finally detach BR5 like players have been demanding for a couple years now, they would need to give the allies a TT BR4 semi auto that uses a magazine, like the Winchester G30 that is used in a premium squad. The BR4 weapon is already there, so just make a tech tree version. Coming up with a BR4 Japanese magazine fed semi auto would also be a nice thing.
I am pretty sure that there’s also a poll to add a alternate version of the M1 Garand for BR4
