Okay, I've said it before, I'm not the biggest fan of some of the matchmaking changes that have been made to the game. People have always, and will always, complain about matchmaking, but seriously, some of these changes are NOT improvements. I can understand why you made some of them like making games always 2 tier (the 30/70 bot split) even if the majority of the community hates it, but some of them... Seriously?
1. why did you stop the system from trying to balance plane types? Sure, abandon it at the end if it can't but why doesn't it actually try? The number of games I've seen where it puts all the human GAs/bombers on one team and only gives the enemy team light fighters and multiroles is just stupid. Why does one team get 3 bombers and the other no bombers or GAs on a map with 2 plants? This is aside from the other random problems that can, and always have been able to happen like, in a 4 player match one team getting 2 light fighters and the other getting a bomber (especially now the B-32) and a heavy.
2. Why does it sometimes assign all of the human top tier players to one team, leaving the other team with none? Usually this happens when one team has a bottom tier flight and the other doesn't but not exclusively. Yes, in theory this can balance out a flight when there isn't one on the enemy team but it's not that simple. I've been on both sides of this, being in the down-tiered flight and on the enemy team and it's a mixed bag... Yeah, I and the people I usually fly with are pretty good, and maybe can be balanced out somewhat by that, but I've equally also seen a lot of under performing flights of casual or less experienced players flying in flights where the down-tiered team just gets (um... pooped... is that polite enough?) on by the enemy team. I have however also seen games where 2 flights from different tiers are matched against each other, and the top tier flight gets an extra top tier plane while the bottom tier flight only has bottom tier players, and it is still possible for a top tier flight to go up against 2 (though no longer just 1) bottom tier solo players. Even more bizarrely, though admittedly also rarely, I have also seen it assign one team 2 top tier planes while the other is stuck with all bottom tier planes.
I don't know about the other people here, maybe I'm part of only a small subset, but I think that some of these things do need to be addressed (along with bugs). Personally I want to see more work on this even at the expense of less new content because I believe it will make the game more playable... even if it means british multiroles take longer to appear... (but please, british muliroles too... me want! )
