I wasnt aware that there was a formula for calculating a pilots lineup before going into a battle. I was always under the impression that it took the top aircraft in your line up and used that as the BR.
This may explain why players were under the impression that the BR system was broken.
This was the old formula: BR=(A+(B+C)/2)/2
It took your top tier plane, and then the next two.
Example: (5.3+(4.7+4.7)/2)/2=BR 5.0
The new system does something similar, but tries to keep players from taking advantage of the system. If there is a difference of .6 between the top tier and other aircraft, it will use the top aircraft as the overall BR.
