Maybe in real life battles KV was put against KT but this is game not real life.<br />I see improvement in MM as it finally match OP tire 5 lights tanks against higher tire vehicles but there is still long road ahead of developers to fix MM to make games balanced. Exactly what it dont support<br />- equal number of top tier tanks in both teams<br />- equal number or weight of light tanks in both teams<br />- equal number or weight of medium tanks in both teams<br />- equal number or weight of heavy tanks in both teams<br />- equal number or weight of SPGs in both teams<br />- complete symmetry of tank models (now 2 IS7 can join one team, and 2 Mauses - the other)<br />- equal number of platoons in both teams.<br />should be supported or at least with some margin of error. Say one team have 4 TD second one have 5 TD would be OK. But one team have 7 TD second one have 1 TD is NOT OK.GULIwerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13374677937312385514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6041453950289498156.post-49719881862540036962011-10-27T13:52:34.765+03:002011-10-27T13:52:34.765+03:00Q: @Overlord, doesn't it make you laugh when t...Q: @Overlord, doesn't it make you laugh when they call you Overload instead of Overlord?<br /><br />A: It makes me smile, yes.

It is great to know that pub matches will get a better matchmaking system, because it is indeed those matches, that a lot of us players enjoy, just for example to get silver (credits). <br /><br />Just one question Overlord - are the tracers for arty really comming back? And will there be some kind of difference from the old ones. I mean, they are a good thing for us tank drivers, because then we wont fear the arty so much. And for arty - its great to have them and know, that you can catch the enemy arty. More tactical aspect to the whole gameplay.Vanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09072068523300899221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6041453950289498156.post-123610309742084692011-10-26T14:14:00.042+03:002011-10-26T14:14:00.042+03:00If you fight IS-7 with your M6 you're doing so...If you fight IS-7 with your M6 you're doing something wrong. Not the whole enemy team consists of IS-7, and the M6 is a good tank.<br /><br />Pz38nA is a really good scouting tank. If you're matched against an IS nothing is wrong. If you don't want to scout, choose a different tank that hasn't got a scout's tier spread.<br /><br />What this new system results in is that people don't have to play newly aquired stock tanks against worst odds. People get a chance to upgrade their tank a little bit and learning to drive it before facing worst case scenarios.<br /><br />Also I'd like to bring attention to what Overlord said in his post: "This is the first step." That means more steps are coming.Finnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07069238100174029602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6041453950289498156.post-54358463451733083732011-10-26T12:42:12.888+03:002011-10-26T12:42:12.888+03:00@Overlord

That and I'm a statistics nerd as I work on data-mining ;).<br /><br />WG has probably even better statistics.<br /><br />I think the combination of wide tier spreads with the uneven distribution to the top battle tiers is what a lot of people don't agree with.<br /><br />WG seems a bit disconnected from the EU/US community on this one. Can't speak for the RU community as my Russian isn't good enough.<br /><br />Could be that the matchmaker works better with 100k+ players online. But I think one problem is that there are too many T8 tanks and the matchmaker has a tendency to put only 3-4 T8 tanks in a T8 match and fill it up with low level tanks. Most played tier after T8?
