@Veekay45 Yeah, there’s a lot of stuff that shouldn’t be in Berlin, and probably a lot more so than in high BR. It is easier to make a historical (and competative) loadout for the Soviets in Berlin BR 5 than it is now at BR 2, just due to the availability of gear. Unfortunately, I don’t see historical BR ranges working out in the current system, it died out with the death of campaigns.
The devs should focus on implementing the promised features for custom games, mainly the banning of gear, so we can make our own historical games, it’s the best solution that will satisfy everyone and they should stop dragging their feet and actually do something they promised to do.
This.
This is the most important thing, it’s one step forward, but two steps back, always. I would be less critical if for example they actually expanded upon the games subfactions, and added weapons and vehicles that were actually used during the war but aren’t in the game yet over the constant trickle of bad descisions or poor implementation of good ideas…
Pps 43, Panzerfaust 60 in the USSR, Mosin rifle 1944. And all this is near Moscow.
In Stalingrad, AS44, RD44, and IS2.
AF, which has damage higher than that of aircraft machine guns…
The Su9 flying over Rzhev.
The majority CQC map is dominated by full auto “spam” (spam is using whatever gun these guys don’t like)… who would have thought and that putting it with the lesser powered shit is somehow more fun… yes because shooting fnab in close hallways while you get shot by pps is going to be so fun enjoy.
i mean i dunno… maybe running around the rubble and quick scoping people with bolt action is your thing but you could do that anyway if you were like any other soviet BRIV player
Im getting very close to finishing the last tech tree that is Germany. And honestly news like above make me want to sell the account and move on from the game that is doing its best to make everything less fun than it was
To be honest I don’t remember the last time we got that one step forward.
It’s been two steps back, three steps back, four steps back ever since the Merge.
Berlin open for T-26 and biplanes, Japanese Tiger, Silenced PPSh-41 (I’m sure it will come back in an event), post war Alecto, post war Su-9, fakes like Fedorov 1912, Uragan, Hyde, T20, Tokyo, Autohei, Hori; Volkssturm in fur hats in Tunisia, Chinese squad in Normandy, Mad Hans in tank top, Yasuke the Samurai in armor, Halloween tank skins and decals, etc., even Normandy and Ardennes which were originally available for BR 3-5 at Merge launch were opened for biplanes too.
Meanwhile, we still can’t have German balkenkreuz crosses on tanks, Shermans can’t be sandy in Tunisia and green in Normandy, and The British can’t have a snipers squad with Brodie helmets.
February 1943 The Omskaya Pravda newspaper published
a letter from six-year-old Ada Zanegina, a girl who was evacuated with her mother, Polina Terentyevna, a doctor by profession, from the city of Sychevka, Smolensk region, to the village of Usovka, Maryanovsky district, Omsk region. The letter said:
I am Ada Zaneghina. I am 6 years old. I write in print. (Some funny guy) drove me out of the city of Sychevka, Smolensk region. I want to go home. I’m a little girl, but I know that we need to defeat (Some funny guy) and then we’ll go home. Mom gave the money for the tanks. I collected 122 rubles and 25 kopecks for the doll. And now I’m giving them to the tank. Dear Uncle Editor, Write in your newspaper to all the little children so that they also give their money to the tank. And we’ll call him “Baby.” When our tank defeats (Funny guy), we will go home.
In May 1943, a reply from the Supreme Commander came to this telegram.:
I ask you to convey my warm greetings and gratitude to the Red Army to the preschoolers of the city of Omsk, who have collected 160886 rubles for the construction of the Malyutka tank. Supreme Commander-in-Chief Marshal of the Soviet Union I. Stalin
The Malyutka tank fought as part of the 91st separate tank brigade, its driver was one of the nineteen female tankers of the Red Army, Sergeant Ekaterina Alekseevna Petlyuk.
Contrary to popular legend, the Malyutka could not participate in the Battle of Stalingrad, since it was built no earlier than the spring of 1943 (according to the memoirs of contemporaries, a message about the direction of the Malyutka to the front appeared in newspapers in June 1943). As Petlyuk herself recalled, she first boarded the T-60 tank in November 1942, and during the Orel operation (July—August 1943) she transferred to the T-70 tank. Obviously, she fought on the Malyutka tank in the early summer of 1943, before that she was driving another T-60 tank. Coincidentally, Catherine’s front-line nickname was “Baby” (as she was called because of her small height — 151 cm), she painted it on the tower of “her” T-60
This is fine if Preferred maps worked! I could dislike Berline at low BR, like it on high BR axis for example. As it stands, it makes no difference from my games.
