    When I have been looking at the current CV CPU Tiers I have been unhappy and slightly perplexed by the massive point difference between CPU Tiers 3 and 4.

    For reference, the current CV CPU Tiers are:
    Tier 1 CPU : 200,000 (40% of Tier 2)
    Tier 2 CPU : 500,000 (33.33% of Tier 3)
    Tier 3 CPU : 1,500,000 (15% of Tier 4)
    Tier 4 CPU : 10,000,000

    Why is CPU Tier 3 only 15% of the value of Tier 4?
    Why not use the same % for all tiers?

    With that in mind, I goofed around with the math a bit and eventually came down to 0.271445.
    (Around 27% for all Tiers, I did not care to drill down the number any deeper).

    Using that number and calculating backwards from 10,000,000 the CPU tiers would be:
    (rounded)

    Tier 1 CPU : 200,000
    Tier 2 CPU : 735,000 (higher than the current value of 500,000)
    Tier 3 CPU : 2,700,000 (higher than the current value of 1,500,000)
    Tier 4 CPU : 10,000,000

    This suggested change would raise the CPU points available for Tiers 2 & 3 while keeping Tiers 1 & 4 at their current values.
    It also makes the CPU tiers a little more consistent.

    Submitted for your consideration.

    Since I only did CV's before I figured I better do BA's as well.

    Using 0.39481 and the same methodology I came to:

    Tier 1 CPU : 80,000
    Tier 2 CPU : 200,000
    Tier 3 CPU : 515,000 (higher than the current value of 500,000)
    Tier 4 CPU : 1,300,000

    HV time:

    Using 0.36841 and the same methodology I came to:

    Tier 1 CPU : 5,000
    Tier 2 CPU : 14,000 (higher than the current value of 12,000)
    Tier 3 CPU : 37,000 (higher than the current value of 30,000)
    Tier 4 CPU : 100,000

    As for SV's, I used 0.39149 and came to numbers that are very close to the current ones.
    So no proposed changes there.

    If you want to mess around in the worksheet I was using it can be found here:

    Google Sheets

    These are better balanced. I always thought the gap between T3 and T4 CVs was way too much.

    The CV's T3 and T4 values was the reason I did this.
    I have a number of CPU Tier 4 CV's that are just barely over the current T3 limit.

    I figured I would include the Google Sheet so others could check my calculations, but it was a very easy sheet to make.
    At least the sheet has an added benefit, now the devs can play with the % change between tiers and the sheet will calculate the values for them.
