Hi,
Yesterday i was automatched with jove (USF) as a level 2 OKW player. I tried to fight for the glory of germany, but it was bit unfair. 
 Does that situations happen to other players as well? I am pretty sure we are not at the same skill level...
Regards,
Otis
If you want to try and keep games within your same level banding, stop and restart the search every couple of minutes if you haven't found a game. The longer you are searching for a game the more chance you have of getting players much higher or lower than you in a game. 
It could be as Swiftsabre says, your 10 placement matches where you play against people of all skill levels to see where your starting rank should be
