Hmm.. the preferred matchmaking platoon! :1foryou:
2 Jtig 8,8's
2 Super Pershings
2 IS-6's
And a T71 to do forward spotting! (Well, yeah it's not
preferred, but runs up to 9 like the others)

Hells, imagine 7 Matildas in a Tier IV match :-)
Really, though, we'll mostly want to balance platoons. And with
7 man platoons matchmaking with other platoons, no randoms - is
there any point in staying in party chat? It seems to me game
chat will then be far more effective.

I'm thinking game chat might be re-tried. Particularly at higher
tiers.... I usually see more 'in-game' chat be useful when
lone-wolfing at Tier VI and above.
Knowing that the other 7-players are changing tactic might be
useful to adjust to the situation from our side.
Besides, we can always mute the
obstructively-chatty/ignorant/music-playing ones - my list is
probably pretty populated with mutes already due to grinding
tank tiers.

lol With those ones, I'll have the list up, any and all muted
and the list back down before the game even starts. Nothing
gains a mute faster then a Kinect mic and I can hear the TV or
others in the room.

Remember people that we had no success testing higher platoons
in test. In order for a 4,5,6,7 man platoon to work their MUST
be a platoon of equal size and tier in the que. We may time out
a lot before WG gets this figured out correctly.

Maybe, but I bet at least in the beginning we will be seeing a
ton of 7 man platoons. This is what we have all been Jonesing
for.

TKE the problem with what your suggeting is that the damage pool
is much smaller and your pay out as a result will be smaller.
By best silver hauls have been from damaging higher tier tanks
and being top damage.
7 tanks with 1000 hp each is only 7000 total damage, my best
payout for my 88 and IS 6 have been games when I do 4k or more
in damage solo.
the 6 other offrs arent gonna give me more than half of the
available damage

It may be the best way to do it is open up platoon size to 7,
match platoons up as best as can and pull singles from the
random pool. Its not as tier I and tier IX/X haven't already
been doing 7 man matches for random battles.
