Is the Booster Meme actually true?
I've activated a 500% booster for the first time and have never played worse. I'm talking zero kills, zero point, two deaths and then return to hangar multiple games in a row, even though the game shows hitmarkers and damaged parts on enemy planes. Normally i'm at the upper middle of the leaderboard with 1600-2500 points.

No, it's not.At least not that you get mechanics stacked against you.
You may however differ in how you play because of psychological reasons, and if you believe in the booster meme, this effect will be even bigger.

Idk, but it feels true. Very similar to my expirience.

Could really be the psy. aspect of it. But still, seeing rounds hit and getting markers for it and not getting any points is strange.

Everyone can have bad matches form time to time with or without boosters. People tend to remember wasted boosters more though

There is no evidence for it but i wouldn´t be surprised if the game gives you a secret 0.8 armore penetration modifier as soon as you activate a 200%+ booster.

However I simply can´t explain why everyone in the enemy team additionaly becomes also a mindreader.

i guess with all the datamining going on this would have been discovered long ago, but who knows

500% are meant to be used on Heli PVE easy 400K SL in 30min as for the RP ones i dont really care since i dont play hightier outside events so grinding means nothing to me anymore

I've played a few more matches after that and trying to cap- or destroying as many objectives as possible is way more fun. Nobody actually bothers you when above 5 km.
Got a 3k game without a single kill or assist :D

Playing GRB is the same as usual, very fun with the occasional desk spanking ^^

The failure is remembered more vividly.

I don't really remember failures because no matter how bad the mission was I received a better reward because of the booster then I would have gotten without it.

it is false. I couldnt care less about boosters. Sometimes i let them expire without using them.
