What's up with the sudden increase of high tiers?

[Sinboto]

Don't know what it is but i've been getting in more T7 matches in my T5s and more T10 matches in my higher tier ships, something I miss?

[Popov]

In my experience I find that if I have a good run in a particular ship it starts creeping me up the tiers until I start getting beat, not sure if it is designed this way or just my imagination.

[MaxMcKay]

Its designed that way, just like in tanks

[Calphayus]

its a wider tier spread for MM

Also, they just put the Tirpitz back on sale.  A sudden influx of T8 ships will naturally draw in more higher tiers now that the population's not so tiny for a while.

The game has been out a while now so more people have higher tier ships.

No wonder why I can't move up my lower ships even with 3k pop...

It's the Tirpitz.  It is just on sale for a short time so people are desperately buying it before it disappears.

 

And here is the big thing.  It is VERY expensive!  If a person is gonna drop almost 70$ on a mass of pixels then that person is gonna play the crapout of it like crazy.

 

The result is that there is a VAST influx of tier 8 ships in the game right now compared to normal play.

 

Also just to clarify.  That is the only reason.  It has nothing to do with some conspiracy theory about secrete MM or your success or any of the other silly tinfoil hat B.S. that the uniformed like to throw out.
