In the Soviet-German battle of BR2,
The German army has the following advantages
Armaguerra Mod. 39 rifle
MG13
IAR81C
The German army has the following disadvantages
You need to research a lot of junk to get to MP40.
And in front of PPS43, MP40 is so ridiculous.
Great game designers even thought that MP40 should belong to BR3 at first
I think this is correct and you should even let these poor Germans continue to use the MP18 to be historically accurate.
I checked the wiki and the PPS43 seems to be a product of 1942, while Germany started using the MP40 in 1939.
In the game, PPS43 is far more powerful than MP40.
I don’t know why, the design in the game is neither historical nor balanced.
The Soviet weapons in BR2 overwhelmed the German army with a huge advantage.
Many players often jump out to clarify that Soviet machine guns are weak.
This does not include the ridiculously huge disadvantage gap after joining BR3.
In the same situation, the Soviet weapons of BR2 left Germany far behind.
After adding BR3, the gap will be even greater.
This is why you will experience the powerlessness of Axis in the game.
Without exiting the game, my BR2 USSR win rate is about 7% higher than Axis.
So we need to continue to strengthen USSR.
