' Wrote:I am confused as to when this wasn't the case.

Point taken. altough in ye olde days, before Russian tanks were all buffed in OP-land and the French tanks gave the matchmaking the final deathblow, matchmaking was pretty decent.

but now we have

- OP russian tanks running around
- weird French tanks which are not light nor medium (some also OP as hell)
- light tanks that can tear through tanks 4 tiers above them and othe light tanks which can't even dent a Bison.
- HE are complete rubbish now

Same with my Ram-II and M24 Chaffee, most of my matches are where I have little to no chance. More so with my Ram-II, that is a light tank eater, not a heavy or even medium tank eater.

At least with my Chaffee I'm used to playing against big bad tanks, but not in my Ram-II...

I like the French light tanks that are super fast, have a giant cannon, and can take a hit from my 8.8cm VK3001H gun and keep chugging without slowing down, and -then- proceed to pen my turret armor.

I been playing since closed Beta. The games MM is not perfect for sure, but i been told by those playing it that 7.5 MM is much improved. Far less spread for most tanks.
As for lights? they are supposed to be against higher tier tanks, and same as TDs.
Also tier 10 Meds are not alot better then the 9's, but those tier 10 TDs are just freaking nasty for armour, and guns. I think it will be fun.
I do find it funny when you complain on Disco forum of bad MM when in Disco you get 5-6 VHFs chasing down 1 bomber, and such.

WoT MM runs on a formula
Disco MM runs on YOLO.

More like lolwut juice.
Atleast in WoT you get even odds, and both sides mostly even unit spreads. Sure a tier 5 meets 9's, but other side will also have a 5 against 9's.
Disco you can be in a frieghter taking on 4 cruisers, and the lolwut cruisers think it is fun RP.

Having most of russian "OP" tanks, but also other tanks from other nations, can you please enlight me on what you consider OP in the russian line and why? Too easily people screams and point fingers about OP tanks when the problem is either bad luck or between the chair and the keyboard.

Also, don't judge the matchmaking on the first days of the new patch, people will focus on specific tanks that may make things harder for the MM.

7.5 have a better matchmaking, that's something confirmed and experienced already by all the people who tried the public beta, pershing included.

I also played enough battles with Costin's pershing to see that i never got a bad matchmaking, so yeah.. it all comes down to what you consider a bad matchmaking

Quote:M24 Chaffee

Increased the view range of the first turret from 367.5 to 370m
Reduced the view range of the first turret from 402 to 400m

Hope that's a typo, though I'm not bothered if they mean the second turret loses 2m of view range, its still a beast.

EDIT: Just got back in-game, yup second turret is down to 400m. Not bothered:P

Bye bye gun rammer, hello coated optics!


World of Tanks - blubba - 08-01-2012

Some of the MM can be a bit odd but often it's pretty good. It has improved. Russian tanks are ok for my money. Yeah sure they are powerful but nothing compared to the old 'Type'. I'd say they were tough, tier for tier but not OP.
French tanks...yes. Possibly to much hull, to fast, to small and a gun that penetrates anything. I suspect they won't stay like that forever so make the most of them. Anyhow, the grind through the lower ranks of these tech trees makes them worth it. My gosh their low tier tanks are bad.

Ever have one of those great games where you did all you could, but only wish your team had half a brain?

PS. Love the KV5's payout. Just wait till they buff it in 7.5, and all the screams of OP now.
