[QUOTE=Kilgore 2nd;46791666]If I switch out one of my higher BR tanks for a lower one, it'll sort out my matchmaking right? Can't really remember how the battle rank thingy works, not sure if it's as simple as that or if it takes into account tanks i actually own, rather than what's in my lineup.
Not played this game for a while but I only have 1 4.7 BR tank and the rest are around 3.5. It was fine back when I played since I had 3 respawns with it but now I only get the one, it's a bit shit if my jgpanzer gets knocked out since my pnz IIIs and early IVs are useless against things like Tigers and IS tanks.[/QUOTE]
The strongest vehicle in your active lineup practically determines your ranking, yes, vehicles you do have unlocked but don't have in lineup have no effect.

Alrite, thanks!
Top three BR tanks will affect your overall BR.
I wonder if having a plane with a high BR affects your matchmaking with your tanks
FW-190 D-13 in the lineup, battle in your Reserve tank, Meet panthers
I've heard it does, and doesn't. Can't find a definitive answer
Love the PzIIIL

in RB it does, because mixed battles (which is why everyone was laughing at covalent a few pages ago for having an La-9 and a KV-1 in the same lineup)
AB no, not sure about SB
In SB it did until they fixed it as a bug literally few days ago, like, the the day after the Covalent thing here.

But yeah, it shouldn't, anymore.
SB is the only way to Tank, man
2 Spawns, No dumb points to spawn, and no markers

I only wish we had better sights, no markers at all (maybe only handplaced ones on the map, manually), and proper tank interiors (with possibility to stick your head out of the commander hatch to see more or less like now, with obvious risk to your commander's head).
Latter I don't expect any time soon, but the other two I hope to see soon.

If the interiors were like red orchestra 2 that would be amazing but its never going to happen
The Banshee might actually be a little broke. Even at 7.7 br it's raping everything. Been averaging four kills a game with it even fighting migs and il28s.
They explicitly stated they aren't planning to do tank interiors, at all.
And SB tanks can go suck a cock. If I wanted "can't see shi-CYKA BLYAT" simulator I would go play Red Orchestra.

No interiors = SB will forever suck dick.

No planes + awful fucking camera = bad

[quote]No planes[/quote]
Best part.
Y'know as an f80 pilot i was totally ready to fight 262s and meteors and the lot, but mig 15s? The jets don't even compare, mig 15 needs to be bumped to 8.7.
And i'm not bitching because of getting clubbed, the jets really don't compare at all. Just got out of a really prolonged dogfight with one, the only thing i could do was out turn it, he completely controlled the pace of the fight and several times just disengaged and accelerated away.

Having to know your tank and gun to aim and range targets. No markers revealing your tank to everyone. No hit marker showing you exactly where your shot will hit. Concealment works.
These things make SB in Tanks better

Ranging is the exact same in RB. Concealment now also works in RB to [I]some[/I] degree, even tho it still has ways to go.
Meanwhile SB has completely shitfucked imbalance that's even worse than RB, the camera is absolutely shit, and having no aircraft is boring as shit.

Bought myself the Tank destroyer pack and the grant pack because extra money and it wouldn't let me buy the fucking Stuart pack. with the sheckels I grabbed an SMK, a talisman for the Canberra to speed this shit up, and a extra month of premium.
moneygrease.
RB > SB > AB (except for T1 tanks, in which case I'll take AB). There is much that could make SB much better still, though.
It's all a matter of preference.
AB planes, comedy, mindless fun, little waiting, excellent for low BRs. Best for slamming out modules.
RB planes, focused, actually apply tactics, some waiting and lots of climbing, better beyond low BRs. Best for abusing 2-5x events towards new planes.
SB planes, serious kinda, quite focused, lots of waiting and hunting, good at any BR really, but almost not worth the time to RP ratio. Good for just fun.
AB tanks, insanity, booty scooty, killstreak planes, lopsided matches, drop indicator, penetration indicator, little incentive to stay alive.
RB tanks, point respawn system, national bias, planes fucking stuff up, lite-bright spotting fucking stuff up, incentive to stay alive.
SB tanks, sickening camera, major incentive to stay alive, no planes fucking stuff up, no spotting, slow as balls, lots of horrendously dumb players, little incentive to get on objectives.

Removing top secret documented radar system that showed you were other tanks are on a GPS system
Having to pixel hunt for each and every tank with first person camera is realistic because it's not like the tanks had more than one crew member looking outside or anything.

Dude have you actually played SB? I have nailed 45k RP on a 2x before with two kills. Match was like 15 mins. SB rewards are insanely good, you just have to be pretty good to capitalise on them

That was a 2X though. Same as RB, it's good for the one-off rewards.
In terms of trying to plow through RP, I can only [I]assume[/I] it's slower than AB/RB because of the combination of wait times and match mechanics. If you actually get a good match, of course you're gonna shit all over the other two. :v:
[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;46794418]Having to pixel hunt for each and every tank with first person camera is realistic because it's not like the tanks had more than one crew member looking outside or anything.[/QUOTE]
Well, looking outside is too much of a strong word, squinting their eyes trough tiny vision slits is more accurate.
The map on SB doesn't really bothers me, at most I'd like to see some generic 'Enemy spotted in this area' marker, because otherwise matches would be very boring what with everyone hiding in bushes awaiting for the other guy.
They also need to implement team colored tracers.
Well that Fort map is fucking terrible. Spawned in some ditch and lost my 2nd tank because someone decided to bomb it.
Why are spawns not protected against bombs? Seems fucking ridiculous. Wasn't even in my tank for 30 seconds before it was killed by something I have no way of protecting against. 3 lives and 1 gets insta bombed in spawn? C'mon, what a load of cheap shit.
