    Preferential Matchmaking Vehicles in Update 1.2

    If the matchmaker struggles to meet the requirements for an eligible match, it eases up on the rules to avoid players spending too much time in the queue. However, the matchmaker never breaks the minimum balance requirements. If the matchmaker still can't find a good battle after about five minutes, players get kicked back to the Garage. Each vehicle, depending on its performance, falls in a certain range of Battle Tiers to fight in.

    While the Garage doesn't display Battle Tiers, you can see the maximum vehicle tier a vehicle will meet in battle.

    Max vehicle tier displayed. The charts below display the Battle Tiers a vehicle falls in. The following charts are accurate as of Update 4. Select the chart to expand. When in a Platoon, the lowest tier the Platoon is eligible for is based on the lowest common Battle Tier of all the Platoon members.

    The upper Battle Tier is determined by the Platoon leader. Platooning in vehicles with different Battle Tier ranges can lead to unwanted results. For example, if a tier IV light tank with scout matchmaking up to BT 7 Platooned with a tier IV medium tank with standard Battle Tiers up to BT 6 , the scout matchmaking will pull the medium tank up into a higher Battle Tier, meaning it will likely be outclassed in battle.

    Platoons of players are weighted similar to a solo player, whereas large Platoons of players receive special weighting: This means that vehicles in Platoons may be weighted more heavily than if the vehicles were solo. Battles involving multiple Platoons tend to create Balance Weight issues. To address this, when there's a surplus of Platoons in the queue, the matchmaker will select the Platoons first and fill the missing gaps with solo players.

    The Situation

    Lastly, if every member of a Platoon has a streak of bad luck in their Battle Tiers, the Platoon's next match will get a "friendlier" battle level. Whether or not a particular battle was good or bad relative to the Battle Tier range of the Platoon is recorded for each Platoon member.

    That way, everything works as expected when players jump in and out of Platoons. We know the feeling of being at the top of the list and you feel like you can make a difference, and to be at the bottom and feel too dependent on your team.
