Per today’s stream, MaxChaos has confirmed that not only is permanent +1/-1 matchmaking not coming to the game EVER, but +1/-1 events are now pretty much done for good.
Incredibly shocking news considering the game isn’t going anywhere with Cold War (and anyone who thinks this game can take off with Cold War at the forefront is a fool) but the fact they’ve pretty much abandoned +1/-1 KNOWING that the game would benefit greatly from it is just a slap in the face to the game’s remaining veteran players.
Just another move by the Devs to force players into Cold War. They simply won’t admit that Cold War has failed spectacularly and are instead intending to take the rest of the game down with them.

Now it becomes a little more clear as to why the forum closure. Knowing that quite a few from the forums had constantly requested +1/-1 they most likely couldn’t stand the thought of more  |

Now it becomes a little more clear as to why the forum closure. Knowing that quite a few from the forums had constantly requested +1/-1 they most likely couldn’t stand the thought of more  What blows my mind is that they've been "testing" +1/-1 for pretty much the last 4 years now. It's completely obvious that the game would benefit greatly from +1/-1 and the testing showed exactly that. Player numbers were up, the MM quality was better, and matches were more balanced. But WGCB had the evidence right in front of their faces and yet refused to follow it anyways. Unfortunately, +2/-2 fuels the noobs and cash-cows, forcing them to either spend money to convert free XP or buy gold/premium tanks. WGCB also knows the moment +1/-1 is implemented permanently, players in Cold War will leave in droves and flock back to WW2, making their Cold War lovechild even more of a failure. I've never seen a development team attempt to sabotage its own damn game as much as this one. It's simply despicable. |

I can't say I'm surprised. +1/-1 could have probably worked a while back when the game had more active players and likely would have helped to grow the player base, but after 6.0 and dividing the player base between two entirely different modes I doubt there's enough people left actively playing for +1/-1 MM to work.
Plus WG seem to like making bad decisions so I'm not surprised.

+5 mm like the ye olde chaffee had. The only solution.
Seriously though this is just sad news. The nail has gone through both sides of the coffin, through the earth and is touching the moon.
