I know I dont find the game fun at all trying to fight ships 3 tiers above me.....Why do you persist on this? Surely you can make a fairer system to balance out who goes into a battle.... 1 Potoroo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
151 Gezeiten_Heimatwelt Beta Tester 2,040 posts 1,350 battles Report post #2 Posted July 22, 2015 You are playing a Battleship right? Then it's working as intended, Battleships can meet opponents 3 tiers higher than them, where as other classes can meet opponents 1 or 2 tiers higher than theirs. Source: http://forum.worldofwarships.eu/index.php?/topic/18094-matchmaker/ Greetings Captains, there are a lot of questions about the Matchmaker (MM) and many of the new captains are surprised when they get into high tier battle with their low tier ship. The battle's tier is characteristic that shows the minimal and maximal tier of the enemy ships if they are not in division. The MM is different for each class, but it's possible to set it for each individual ship and there are some with special MM. For now it's random in which battle you will get (as top tier or as lowest tier) it simply depends which battle tier will be filled first. There are plans to limit the amount of battles where you can end up as the lowest tier and after few such battles in a row the MM will let you wait for battle where you will be top tier.

3 capt_cannonballs Member 43 posts 1,280 battles Report post #9 Posted July 22, 2015 ships seem pretty close match with a slight change it tactics to deal with higher tiers. but with CVs it seems quite off balance to me... but i may be the only person to think this.

Too right friend. Tier 5 BBs are useless at tier 8! /s Just like in World of Tanks, when you're a bottom tier it's all about knowing when to engage, who to engage and the positioning of your vessel/tank. Angling your hull perpendicularly to the enemy will still bounce 406mm shells. Edited July 22, 2015 by Counterflak Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
78 Potoroo Beta Tester 773 posts 796 battles Report post #14 Posted July 23, 2015 You'll have the occasional battle where your tier 5 BB will be useful in a tier 8 battle but most of the time you'll get shredded. No tier 8 BB driver fears a New York or a Kongo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
