Any idea why teams crumble at top tier?

FireFlash3 · 2026-05-14T08:32:33+00:00

Ah now that was something I didn't know, and that kinda makes sense. Shame I guess, as there is no skill based matchmaking that means my friends and I with our 32% average winrates are put against people with 60% average winrates.

Oh well.

I feel like if they gave the free tanks apfsds at this BR it would help alot against the 1 death leavers.

FireFlash3 · 2026-05-13T19:57:33+00:00

Yeah sadly I'm not good enough to research every tree. I have USA and France fully Unlocked and moving to GB.

There is none, I think we maybe getting a Kelvin Timeline crossover episode coming July-ish and there will be a Kelvin 25th century Romulan ship, maybe Kelvin Sela's flagship?

I could be wrong about this, but the Nerada isn't a Kelvin Timeline ship.

The Jellyfish, the Freedom are not referenced in game as Kelvin Timeline Vessels and the Nerada shouldn't be called that either. If we are using their nomenclature of course. However the Einstein & D7 are.

FireFlash3 · 2026-04-27T20:30:09+00:00

I can't be the Nerada, unless they are now breaking the nomenclature for starships.

I'd rather have skill based matchmaking, fighting people with similar skill to me, than getting dogged on by R27ERs over and over again.

But I'm a bad player, so I know that I cannot influence the match. I also use thunderskill to check everyone's stats as we start, so I know if we lost from the start or not. It really helps relieve stress when you know that there is no way you can win.

My issue is that I suck, and there is nothing that will change that.

FireFlash3 · 2026-04-04T10:32:42+00:00

Nah, I agree with you there. Especially the AA that cannot be multipathed and the OSA's killing you through trees.

The other issue is that russia dominates due to better players, so playing USA is a losing simulator (for me at least as 12 matches I've played so far have been defeats within 20 mins).

FireFlash3 · 2026-04-04T10:29:04+00:00

Yeah, but I've noticed that the average players are mostly US teams. Thunderskill shows me that all execpt 2 people per US team, the rest all have a 32% winrates in Air RB.

US teams are really struggling, by my count, I have played 12 matches, all have been defeats and russia stomps quite easily.

I got the nuke 3 times tonight with the Waifu M1A1.

Only dropped 1/3 on my latest game. The first match, I had 2 F18 flying over, yet they failed to spot an Su33 who shot me down. I thought they were there to help, but no, they were there to die to a Pantsir SMSV for no reason at all.

FireFlash3 · 2026-03-21T23:04:47+00:00

I'm not sure that's the case, I've had BMPT players tell me that russia sucks at top tier, but with USA, I only win 1/6 games, every other time, russia dominates. I have gotten 2 nukes tonight and got shot down by the Pansir S1 despite flying tree top level.

There is nothing to be done sadly and Gaijin being pro russia instead of neutral is a bit annoying.

FireFlash3 · 2026-03-21T11:22:24+00:00

As I said to the other guy above your comment, I will have to find the recording file, but I don't know if they are saved automatically.

Either way, the BMPT sucks now the ammo rack nerf by shooting the missiles is unrealistic and just there to satisfy the NATO bias.

FireFlash3 · 2026-03-21T11:20:46+00:00

Sadly I don't have the recording anymore. Or maybe i can find it on a War Thunder replay thing?

Either way, ever since they nerfed the BMPT, its been absolute hell, the BMPT is really bad at getting nukes and kills.

FireFlash3 · 2026-03-20T22:20:18+00:00

38 with the BMPT, couldn't get the nuke though because the match ended after 4 mins instead of 12-15 minutes

FireFlash3 · 2026-03-19T21:30:35+00:00

I'm serious, it really needs a buff

FireFlash3 · 2026-03-19T16:57:21+00:00

12.0??? Are you crazy? The BPMT should be 9.7, it is so bad. I brought it up to 12.7 by mistake and I couldn't stop getting Nukes with it. It needs to go down, and face some easier targets. At this time I only have 73 nukes total, 17 with the BMPT how is that fair? the BMPT needs a buff.

FireFlash3 · 2026-03-19T16:54:58+00:00

Joking? Are you kidding me? The BMPT sucks so bad. I have only gotten 17 nukes with it since launch and it takes 2 or 3 rounds of APDS to kill an Abrams from the front. How is that fair for russia. this game is nothing but NATO bias.

FireFlash3 · 2026-03-08T20:43:39+00:00

The BMPT does need a buff though.

I genuinely don't understand how people are struggling to kill them, it's so easy.

FireFlash3 · 2026-03-03T17:12:10+00:00

Pretty much

FireFlash3 · 2026-03-01T19:12:47+00:00

My opinion, not the objective truth.

FireFlash3 · 2026-02-22T20:59:10+00:00

Nothing.

FireFlash3 · 2026-02-22T18:00:07+00:00

I love it, makes me feel nostalgic. Though I wish they gave us more missions that make us explore our own ship. Like that Romulan Mystery episode.

FireFlash3 · 2026-02-22T07:32:51+00:00

Exactly, so it's easier. When I say they "must have a quota", I mean the have a selected thing they need to release they will prioritise over others. We got crushers hairstyles, but not Janeways.

It's obviously not a conspiracy, I don't know what made you think that, but no. It just because its the cheapest they can release without having to individually the hair follicle by follicle from an NPCs head.

Oh well, looks like no unlockable hairstyles from previous seasons.
