Say for example we have a 3.7, 2.7, and a 1.7 as your top three planes. For them, the matchmaker will just use your highest plane's BR minus 0.6 in the formula. If your top plane is 0.6 BR (or more) higher than your 2nd and/or 3rd highest planes, their ratings won't even be considered. Now you may be thinking "Can't a high level player just use reserves and a jet and murder me?" No, because of what's called the 0.6 battle rating restriction: Then plug them into this formula: where you plug the top BR plane as A and the second as B and so on.įor example, if your top three planes have battle ratings of 3.3, 3.0, and 2.7, we would plug and get this (which the game would round down to 3.0). You take the top three BR (Battle Rating) planes from your line-up. To figure out your line-up's battle rating, you just have to do some math. How Battle Rating is calculated (This is for arcade mode only) It then widens the range of who is allowed in, and occasionally there are quite widely varying strengths of planes in one battle. Maybe there are not enough players of that ranking logged in, say. Having said that, there are times when the matchmaker cannot find enough players within those limits in the time allowed. So for example jets fighting early war fighters should not occur.

According to this value, you should not be allowed to play in the same battle against players with their top three planes ranked either 2 rank levels higher OR 2 rank levels lower than your rank. This is so planes which are statistically too different cannot be together, as some planes are in the same rank but have better armament, and hence a higher BR. The game allows this value to have a +/- 1 Battle Rating difference between players. Matchmaking works by using the BR of your top 3 planes in the line-up (preset) you are using, to calculate a value. Usually you should not be put up against planes that are more than 1BR higher or lower than you. In realistic battles, you have only one plane and it's BR is used to match you with approximately equal enemies. War Thunder takes into account your planes' Battle Rating (BR) when deciding battles.

Some planes have different Battle Ratings in realistic battles than they do in arcade battles. THIS IS FOR PLANES ONLY, NOT FOR TANKS Battle Ratingīattle Rating (BR) is used to balance out planes based on how well they fight, or how dangerous they are.
