You gotta isolate your testing: put level 1 bots with all level 1 weapons in all but one hangar spot. THEN you can isolate what's really moving you between tiers. I guarantee you your 8/5 Boa is now silver. Are more than half the pilots racking up 100-300k damage on the Battle Summary screen?

Bronze tier has a majority that do less than 100k damage, and are obviously inexperienced pilots who just stand and soak up every bullet they can. Silver tier has Griffins, Leos and Natashas: all of which are minimum level 6 bots. If ever your testing produces one of those three bots from other players on either side, you're in silver. I've seen low silver where about 5 out of 12 put out less than 100k damage. Your Cossack and hit level 7 weapons, as well as the Schutze, but your medium bots are NOT what they used to be. Here's what I've found ALWAYS lands you in bronze tier matches: Light Bots Destrier: 5/6 (Max 8) Cossack: 7 Schutze: 7 Gepard: 5/6/6 (Max 8, Total 17 -- Yes, 8/8/1 works) Stalker: -- Medium Bots Rogatka: 4/4 (Max 6, Total 8)
