I am a T1 player. I have been so for some time, since I wanted to have maxed out ship loadouts on T1 before I got into T2. This new update made that plan break into pieces. Now I am being matched with players of T2 with my T1 ships and my whole team is a complete and utter Ace. I cannot damage anything and I get taken down in two seconds not being able to proceed to complete tasks. Ships are now 50% more expensive meaning that I cannot enter T2 battles (aka be able to actually win) unless I play for a good thirty hours. This update is a joke, if you ask me, and I expect it to taken down or changed as soon as possible or all the love and support that I have given this game will go straight into the trash can.

If you think that things are better in T2…
ahahaha, no.
Atleast at t1 vs t2 you dont get face full of Cheese ECM modules. At T2 vs T3-4, you will be disabled for what seams to be enought time to bake a turkey…
To add, why we all like T2 is that T2 combines the invidual flight skills that were major factor in T1 and group module managment (ECM, reps, damage boost) that is the desiding factor in T3< in to balanced and fun pakage.
OP sums up my feelings on this matter pretty well.
Let our voice be heard.
Sry but some mention t4 stomps T3 , for sure not !!! I share that mixing T1 + T2 + T3 in every Single way is not good at all, really. But mixing T3 and t4 is giving me Lots of fun. I got no problem fighting T4 ships. Yeah, they are better cause they got some slots more , but the difference is by far not that big as for the other tiers (T3 to everything below). I love to shred the higher tier ships with my T3 ships, and when they shred me …well i’ve the excuse that they are t4 ships 
.
T3 unbalanced or every ship have to be equipped equally to avoid being stunlocked too long ? No , not in my opinion . I got only ONE ship equipped with proton cpu , and that’s only cause it supports the roll i want it to play being fast and everytime on the go 
. And i equip them so as i want them and it fits me and my playstile , not what the game or other players dicktate me :).
So to topic: as it is for the moment , mixing T1 , T2 , T3 in either way is neckbraking and have to be stopped cause the differences between them cannot be compensated by skill for the casual player or beginner. Mixing T3 and T4 , hell ya plz . They differ not much and that can be compensated by a little good flying .
Just my point of view , dont kill me xD
+1 for this.
I totally agree. +1
had two new players. we just lost matches. ruined their experience completely. i agree completely, t2 was the most fun to play. and it is basicly ruined.
This has just gone haywire. I started playing this game because WoT started to annoy me lately because of playerbase and devs’ bad decisions. (I’ve played over 18k battles and 5k in beta and know almost all game mechanics inside-out).
This game was something fresh, not as many potatoes, not as much luck factor required to win a battle, and most of all loosing doesn’t feel like punishment (oldschool gamers might cringe at that heh). On top of that I’ve wanted to play EVE but never had money, and this is pretty much F2P EVE Online -excel -huge battles.
But this patch? Yeah, no, thanks.
Firstly matchmaker.
I remember times in WoT when T5 tanks had to fight with T10s. It was horrible. Up until you got T8 you were pretty much useless. Now MM takes ±2 tiers in one battle with some exceptions.
Here: from good MM to unfair to everyone MM. Even T4 players complain. If I see someone unable to do anything to stop me I want to know that it is either because he’s terrible or because I tricked him, not because he is flying too weak ship to put up against me.
Secondly EQ on new ships.
I don’t need Mk I crap! I just want to research ship to get other ship that is AFTER it.
Give us option to buy ships without EQ but keep option with EQ as default so Aces will have a ship that can do something.
Third: Reputation rewards.
I myself didn’t notice it because I didn’t play enough to pay attention to it but I’ve read you can get 800 rep on T1-T3 and 4k on T4? (sic!)
I just hope that is someone’s typo and wasn’t on to-do list.
Fourth: voices.
April’s fools is over guys. You’re kinda late. This voice actor sounds like someone who has been woken up from deep sleep after long shift in factory and no one bothered to gave him coffee and made him talk to homemade microphone. To put it delicately.
Fifth:
Beacon hunt.
Oh. My. God. It sounds damn good but that’s all. It’s a disaster especially on small maps. I mostly play interceptor and I can’t be bothered to try to cap beacons protected by entire team. Even though I built my int to be a tank it still has its limits and 9 ships fighting over my head shooting pulsars, laying minefields and god know what else is way beyond that. This needs to be thinked over again.
Sixth:
“4 man squads without premium”
Bullshit.
I tried to play scenario with 3 friends. “premium license is required”. I bought 3 day license from stockpiled gold but I wouldn’t buy it if I didn’t have done that.
Don’t lie please.
Today I played two pvp matches to get x2 rep. Lost, it wasn’t even fun to lose being killed multiple times not being able to fight back any second. Went to play WoT again with friends and had a blast despite how game client is unstable for me and playerbase makes me think of homicide.
To conclude it all. This is still beta and I understand you are testing things. I will forgive you if you see your mistakes and make a game that people will want to play because currently they don’t.
I have a word for you, Gaijin. World of Tanks didn’t become popular because of dev’s bad decisions but because of good marketing.
tl;dr:
ME WOT PRO. ME LIKES SC. MM SUCKS. PRICES SUCK. VOICES SUCK. YOU LIE. WOT SUCKS LESS NOW.
OP pretty much nailed it.
This kind of bullshit is precisely the reason I hated world of tanks. I’m not playing this any more until you restrict the fights back to single tier matches or adjust the game balance so that low tier ships actually stand a chance in hell against high-tier ships.
Until you fix this terrible match making thats me done, Ill go back to League and Bioshock, just isnt fun to fight against a team of t3s in a t2.

Agreed. Not only is the match making killing any desire to play, the huge nerf to Rep gain when you are not top tier is making it worse.
I just my first game of Star Conflict after the patch and I am sure as hell not playing another god damn game of this. The new system ruined playing t2. I dont even care that I bought a month license, this is just stupid. Granted if they fix this I may come back, but for now im saying good-bye to this game. Sure hope they fix it, but me and my freind’s faith in this game has defenitly been shaken. bg, no re
The rep gain nerf is, as always, a good cherry on top to sink this game in to the “devs milking us before axing the game” category.
This patch made me resub to eve.
