- there will be measures taken to bring back 8.11 game performance, client will be optimized

Let’s hope in 9.1. My PC won’t hold for much longer – I get as low as 6 fps (!!!) during a game for most of the time. And I play on lowest settings there are.

What facts? I’d like to see what sources you’re referring to.

Personally, I think some tanks could use it, but they’re so few in number that it’s unlikely it’ll ever happen. Even then, they don’t really NEED it, although it would be nice to have on some tanks *cough*AMX-40*cough*.

Entering ANY battle at ANY Tier with a stock tank sucks. Period.
Entering a battle two tiers above your tank’s makes things worse.
That’s why we have a “preferred matchmaking” for recently-bought tanks. Once, we didn’t have it.

Now, please, don’t misunderstand me. Having passed through that experience doesn’t make “old tankers” better or anything, it just gives us another perspective, where we simply had to take what we had been given by the MM, with no preferential MM and extended spreads, you could be facing 3 to 4 tiers above your tank’s the first battle you rolled it. And it sucked. And you knew you’d die.
Current environment has a much nicer learning curve, makes it easier to get into the game, and even if it stil gives tough grinds and you might face an impossible battle in a stock tank, it’s a much less harsh experience.

The argument is not really “it was worse before”, that’s just the words that come out easiest.
The real argument is that reducing the matchmaking is:
1.- Not needed, as the current spread is good, unless you’re playing a scout.
2.- Troublesome, as it would increase waiting times before entering a battle.
3.- Too pampering, for facing against higher tiers teaches you caution.
4.- Unbalancing, for the difference in performance among tanks within the same tier will become even more noticeable, and balancing will become even more complicated.
5.- Eventually people will ask for +/- 0 matchmaking, and then whine about them having to wait 15 minutoes to enter a match due to lack of players.

Yep, we’re in a much nicer environment with she shorter MM. Having to face tanks 3 or 4 tiers above was certainly thrilling.
