What do you expect this close after OBT launch. Barely anyone has gone above tier 6. Majority of people are still around tier 4.

This! Do not expect the majority of people to reach T6+ within 2 weeks or less. I am seriously stunned that some really allready reached T10..

well if they powergrind and burn the hell out you can reach 

 

but as said with normal play i am with 5 tier 5's

 

sooo yeah people pls stop complaining all the time about the MM there is Not enough population for high tiers yet

and the fact that people are spamming tier 8 and above confuses MM and end up with the results like the one above

The tier spread in WoWs is higher than in WoT. Sharana made a nice guide where you can see the tier spread of the different ships: Here

Ok so carriers even got better matchmaking than any other ship cus they're not OP enough, right? And how im supossed to counter a tier 10 carrier or battleship, or anything else in Colorado ship which max speed is 18 knots at stock, and firepower is worse than previous tier ships.

How is focusing on 1 line "buying way to the top"? Some player grindind most of the lines to tier 4-5, but if they had invested all their time in 1 line they would be tier 8 now. There are also flags, not only premium account :)

True. It's allmost like we got more chances to earn more XP. We got the flags, daily first win, we got some missions that give Free XP and we got premium ships and premium accounts. And this is before we have something like montly/weekly missions and specials like WoT. We might also see campaign missions in the future like WoT, which again provide Free XP at times.

 

Certainly can't complain :)

The game is a joke at the minute and the MM can be a joke at times tier 8 carriers and BBs pitched against tier6 BBs, there is no point playing when put up against teams like that

I somehow doubt most T8 players did the complete grind in such a short time without using free XP. If they did, then clearly they have WAY more free time than is good for them.

you are absolutely outmatched, but since there are no other players, MM lets them play. otherwise you would simply sit in the waiting room for 4 hours to finally start a game

 

and the special matchmaking for carriers is implemented since a carrier cannot fight another carrier with far higher tier. if you would give them the same MM-range, you would end up with a tier IV CV matched vs a tier VI or even VII. please, tell my why that would be a good idea in your opinion.

The free exp doesn't come from thin air. You need to earn it in premium ship or elite ship and convert it then. I played tier 4-5 premium ships and converted exp to start with tier 4 CVs as I hate low tier ships and don't enjoy them, so I saved myself the time and bad battles. From there tier 4->tier 9 yesterday took me 144 battles in 8 days  :)

Both stunned and worried for them, I've done some math a few days ago, and people who reached tier 10 probably had to play more than 10-15 hours a day which is quite a lot, and they aren't really rewarded for that, instead they get to play battles like those OP posted

Ok so carriers have problems facing higher tier carries, but if battleship is getting matched against higher tier battleship it doesnt have any problems right? And one more thing, most of the times there's carrier on one side and on second one we got none, what's the point of that?

I do not really understand what you mean.

They got the ships they wanted among the first on the server, and they ensured that on average they were the top tier in most of battles played. What other reward should there be?

Again with low population in high tiers there is absolutely nothing that can be done about the balance in top tier games.

Unless of course you propose for them to be rewarded by putting them in T5 matches but that wouldn't be fair to poor mid tiers :D

For cruisers and battleships even +-3 tiers is not that big of a deal as they are more than capable starting from tier 6 to even fight against tier 10.

Please remember this is not WoT.

No it is not OK, but typically, when enough players are at the fitting tiers around you, that T10 Carrier will have to handle another T9 or T10 Carrier or even two, plus, there will be a bunch of other T10 ships in your team...

 

at the moment, this is totally unbalanced because of lack of players.
