Stalingrad and matchmaking idea

Suggestions
1

So with the addition of weapons like the MKb 42 being added to Moscow it’s clear that new players and old joining new campaigns will face players who are much better equipped than them. To somewhat alleviate this issue I purpose 2 ideas I have:

  1. Add a Tier system to matchmaking. Each campaign will be split into 4 tiers:

Tier 1: 1-10
Tier 2: 11-20
Tier 3: 21-30
Tier 4: 31-40

When placed in a certain Tier for the first 30 seconds of searching for a match you’ll only be placed against players of your Tier. Once the timer ticks over past 30 seconds it’ll open the next Tier ahead of you to be matched against. It’ll repeat this process until a match is found. If you’re in Tier 4 the process will happen in reverse and will search until a match is made. Your level will be tied to one of the tiers mentioned and taken into account when searching for a game.

Idea 2

The Tier system will exist almost the same as mentioned above, but instead of level being tied to a Tier, your gear will be instead. This will prevent someone from bring 3 assulter squads to Tier 1. Weapons, squads and vehicles will be tied to a Tier depending on which level you unlocked them, so you can’t bring a t-50 or ppsh to Tier 1 as those would be Tier 3 gear.

Stalingrad

So you saw Stalingrad in the title and are wondering why.

In my opinion Stalingrad should not be it’s own campaign, instead it should be an extension of Moscow. I highly doubt any of you would want to have to unlock the same gear over and over and over again, that’s the definition of insanity.

How would I implement it exactly? Simple. My Tier system from above. Once you reach Tier 3 gear (21-30) in Moscow it’ll unlock Stalingrad content, kinda like War Thunder with maps. That way there is a clear divide in setting while still having everything under one campaign, and better yet you won’t have to grind for the same gear again because it’s still under a single campaign.

But that’s just my idea, If you have something better feel free to post it or tell me that I’m wrong and I’m dumb.

Cheers

Agree with sub campaigns

Disagree about this type of MM. There’s games I stoped playing due to that bad mm tier system, such as world of tonks or world of warboats. Too flawed, your boat lvl 8 ended up facing lvl 10 boats, and such.

It would also make matchs much less diverse, only facing ppl with mirror equipment AND make matchmaking before finding a match much longer.

2 solutions:

1- wait for custom matchs, and with them, custom mm.
2- make matchs with even total of lvls for both sides. Results in balance with diverse encounters still.

i agree we need some sort of matchmaking

but why did the MKb 42 of all things make you think the game was unfair towards new players?
it obviously shouldnt be there considering the time period, but it is far from overpowered. there are way better guns available to high level players in moscow on both sides which make life as a new player hell

I’m not so sure about a proper MM, but we do need a protected MM for new players

My point is more so referring the massive level difference between players than the weapon itself

I agree, but it should be different.
Players will be divided into these groups and play TOGETHER.

1-3 players 30 - 40
1-3 players 20 - 30
1-3 players 10 -20
1-4 players 0 - 10

Or it will shit game.

Yes that’s very similar to what I proposed. There would STILL be a big diversity of stuff encountered (so it wouldn’t be boring like matchs restrained to tiers)
And both sides would be even or close to be.

I’ve always been in favor of this idea as soon as I started thinking about matchmaking (4 months ago I thought about it for the first time).

Well, we’ve talked about it more than once.

Hopefully others will like our idea too. It’s the only thing I see that would allow fair balanced matchs without being absolutely boring.

Absolutely agree, I could like, but I’ve run out of them, so I’ll write that I absolutely agree)))

Idea 2 (having it tied to gear) is a lot better. Would actually make it possible to go back to bolt actions without putting yourself at a disadvantage.
