games 2 levels above you - not worth playing

Draschel:  Frankly, why talk of the matter if you have so little understanding of it. Frustration ==/== harder. The requirements for 3-mark, will very likely go up in a tighter +1/-1 spread. We have seen this before, average WN8 numbers for DPG clearly lowered after the light tank re-balance and organization into tier X tech trees. This is because the general populace doing better, however slight, if the tier span is tightened. This is due to many reasons, such as ground out tanks being far less likely an exploit, less bullying, less powerful margins  Etc. In conjunction with less HP pool available in newly +1/-1 matches compared to +2/-2,  3-marks will be more difficult to achieve if people are doing more combined after-the-fact. Frustration, is an element of being kicked in the n--  because of bottom tier MM severely limiting your ability to make your vehicle work. While I am not saying it cannot, it still can and has been done so many times before, and even in worse off situations than the current +2/-2 - the underlying frustration and limitations remain. Frustration ==/== harder. You don't understand how this works. Lets look at it this way, with tanks like RH07, Caernarvon AX, CDC. They are great examples. If finding yourself into tier ten battle, pretty much immediately starting the battle with premium ammunition. Cae Ax can't carry too much ammunition like the others, so I just run 15/35 AP/APCR. The other two carry tonnes, 50 premium carried. Instead of being aggressive in something like Sand river J-K1, I bide my time like a sniper schnitzel F/G/H1. Or mirrored, no K2-3 and G6 for me, but sniper schnitzel J-K9. Pretty much there, until an opening is created. While staying there, even bottom tier with 255+ pen you can still rack up damage, punching well up tier expectation. This isn't hard. But it is frustrating, I am not permitted to taking powerful aggressive positions and being more involved. El Hallf? Its suicide to contest the awesome C3-B2 spot whichever side, to trade for 240. So I am stuck G8-J5 sniper schnitzel duty, until teams are weak. Again, because of the amount of potatoes who don't know how to play El Hallf, sitting there racking up 2K damage in T8 even 2021 isn't hard. But it is frustrating. Because I'm not C3-B2. Murovanka, instead of contesting E-F0, or countering the powerful E7 bush, stuck C1-B2 or C8 depending on comp,  or mirrored K7-H3. Sniper schnitzel. And there are a tonne of tanks that can do this, LIS, Progetto, T1LPC, Patriot, T44100. But its expensive and boring.
