Vehicle Roles

战车角色

If you look at the way light tanks and arty fight, there’s no immediate value in breaking these two classes into smaller packs grouped around a certain role. Light tank gameplay is built around scouting, and that’s the role they all share, regardless of whether they remain completely still to spot enemies or zoom around the map. A particular set of LTs won’t make the enemy team superior to yours as long as both of you have them in similar numbers, and the matchmakers ensure you do. It’s the same story with SPGs: they all play as long-range support vehicles.

TDs, medium and heavy tanks are a whole other story. Let’s take medium tanks with powerful guns and moderate armour, for example. These are designated support vehicles. Their peers, with strong protection but average mobility and firepower perform best in an attack role. There’s a whole bunch of medium tanks sporting autoloader guns, and they can dismantle an enemy in no time. Finally, others perform equally well in more than one role, which makes them fairly universal.

Having a.n.a.lysed the key parameters and combat performance of TDs, medium and heavy tanks, we outlined primary roles for each class at Tiers VIII–X. The structure you see below is not final. We want to hear your thoughts on the classification and criteria we put at its core (armour, firepower, and mobility). Following your feedback, we might revise it and consider introducing roles for mid to lower tiers.

如果你仔细观察轻型坦克和自行火炮的战斗，按一定角色去细分这两种车是没有直接价值的。轻型坦克的玩法着重在侦察，因此那就是它们共通的角色，和它们是否能完全侦察出敌人或高速四处跑无关。只要你们有相似的数量，特别组成的轻型坦克不会使敌方队伍比我方更具优势，而分房系统能向你保证这一点。这和自行火炮同样一回事：它们全都扮演着远程支援的战车。

自行反坦克炮、中型和重型坦克完全是另一回事。让我们拿配有强大坦克炮和一般装甲的中型坦克来举例。这些战车被指定为支援战车。防护力坚固、但移动力和火力普通的同侪，却擅长扮演攻击角色。有一群装有弹仓式自动炮的中型坦克，可以很快地拆解掉敌人。剩下的中型坦克，在不止一种角色的表现上都同样出色，这也使它们相当多才多艺。

在分析过自行反坦克炮、中型和重型坦克的关键参数和战斗表现后，我们大概列出各车种在 VIII–X 阶的主要角色。你在下面看到的并不是最终安排。我们希望听听你对我们根据其核心 (装甲、火力、以及移动力) 所做的分类和标准之看法。根据你的反馈，我们可能会对其进行修订和考虑对中低阶也推出战斗角色的作法。

But Wait, There’s More

等等，还有更多

Improvements to the matchmaker don’t end with the introduction of vehicle roles. Along with adding them, we addressed some of your most vocal requests:

Better chances of getting ranked at the top of the list for Platoon players: Initially, their chances of playing at the top were reduced to avoid upsetting scenarios with Platoons singlehandedly deciding the battle outcome. In direct response to community feedback, we’re raising them slightly so that you and your Platoon mates can fight at higher tiers once in a while. This won’t cause any drastic changes to the state of Random Battles, but offers a more varied experience to Platoon players.

Equal chances of getting ranked in the top/middle/bottom of the list for different vehicle classes: You might have noticed that heavy and medium tanks would end up in single-level battles way too often, while arty and TDs tended to get ±2 and ±1 setups. We tweaked the matchmaker, evening out the odd for all vehicle classes.

Optimized team assembly logic: After some extra tuning, you’ll see more 3/5/7 and 5/10 teams, which should provide for a more enjoyable experience.

More Grand Battles: We increased the chance of getting matched in a Grand Battle, so that more players could playtest the new format.

We put a lot of work into these improvements, and are excited to hear what you think about them. Your input is crucial as we continue evolving the matchmaker. So be sure to leave any suggestions or questions you might have on the forum.

分房系统的改善并不会随着战车角色的推出就结束了。除增加了这些之外，我们还解决了一些各位强烈表达的诉求：

“组队玩家”玩家有更好的机率能排到名单上层：起初为了要避免“组队玩家”影响定局的状况，所以降低它们排到上层的机率。为了要回应社群的反馈，我们把它们稍微提高了一些，如此一来你和“组队玩家”战友偶尔可以在较高的阶级中战斗。这不会对随机战斗状况造成任何剧烈改变，却可以提.供“组队玩家”玩家更多样的体验。

不同车种有相同的机率会排到名单的上/中/下层：你也许已经注意到重型和中型坦克太常进到只有单一阶级的战斗，而自行火炮和自行反坦克炮却偏向进到± 2 和±1 的配置。我们调整了分房系统，让所有车种的机率都能均等。

将队伍组合的逻辑运算最佳化：经过一些额外微调后，你会更常看到 3/5/7 和 5/10 队伍，这应该能提.供更愉快的体验。

更多大战斗：我们提高了大战斗的配对机率，如此一来就有更多玩家能试玩到这个新机制。

我们注入了大量心力到这些改善，因此很期待能听见你对它们的想法。你的意见对我们来说非常地重要，因为分房系统还在不断地发展中。所以请务必要到论坛上留下任何意见或是你有的任何疑问。
