And nobody ever uses submachineguns when they have assault rifles

One common theme I keep seeing is “not enough players” for them to limit BR matches to equal battle ratings. Well, part of the reason is when your getting a mudhole stomped in your ass repeatedly using certain countries squads, people tend to quit playing or play less. So, as I have said before, they need to find a way to keep the matches somewhat competitive. I am an example. When my US squads starting getting regular ass kickings I stopped playing for a few days, and both my kids stopped playing all together. So as I see it, if they are going to add people from level 1 into matches against level 3 people, more likely they are going to get frustrated and stop playing, or play less often. After 20 straight Allied ass kickings, I stopped playing, and when I did start again, just started a German squad which has won 75% of the matches. I do on occasion play my US squad to see if the ass kickings continue, which they were, but I have not played them in a week. So, unless they are going to make the games competitive, intermixing BR levels is not going to grow the game, it is just going to continue to frustrate people which makes them quit or play less. That’s my 2 cents worth, for what it’s worth, and I live in the Philippines so it’s not worth much. LOL

Can’t be the reason, there was 70k players confirmed very recently.
I prefer to have a mix of high capacity SMGs and assault rifles for different situations but yeah you’re exactly right, if I had to pick one over the other.

I’m curious where this response came from, I don’t remember seeing it.

Anything is better than current situation.
But for reasons no one can figure they stick to 2 que system, hence the suggestions of 1-2 / 3-4-5
Theres plenty of overlapping equipment atleast in german tree, that could be easily switched to low as BR3 IF br3 could not join in BR1-2 games.
Obviously someones going to get thrown under the bus in this silly ass 2 que system but if it was
1-2 / 3-4 & 5 alone idk would there be enough players to br5.
You know you can select a BR5 level tank and equip your infantry with BA’s and shotguns, most likely you wont be much of use for your team but you can enjoy your super fun chaos shotgun vs fg42 at long range.

Fair point but I feel like slightly longer que times would fix that. I don’t think players would mind waiting a little longer. Other options include extending the period of time that players can join an ongoing match.

Depends. With Soviets I use ppsh41. Because fedov and ass 44 are just eye rolling a bit biased (stats wise)/unnecessary weapons, I find them gross.
Granted ppsh41 is the best smg of the game, but you get what I mean. It’s iconic.
at the very least they need to make some kind of concession to stop pubstompers, because I frankly just desert when it’s clear I’m being farmed by either sweatlords or aimbots, (not going to name names but holy hell does it sometimes seem like they’re almost psychic)
I guess subject was about meta, what not to use and what not to if you want to be effective as possible.
Yeah, I dont disagree ppsh is great gun but far from being effective as iconic fedorov avtomat, avt40 or the ak-47 what ever it was.
… I would never say fedov is iconic. I’d rather use the term “obscure”… same as ass 44 that never really got used much 
I don’t like them. I just don’t. They’re not funnier to use than others, they just have very eye rolling stats making them the best tools in the game.
My Papashas are sufficient, They’re great AND truly iconic.
I’m guilty of using many avt40 thought… they also have very dubious stats making them great, but they’re too fun to use to ignore…
bit of sarcasm there
This kind of was the point of meta subject

you mean they are sheeps for BR 5 to slauther, BR 3 weapons and tanks cant cope with BR V equipement. A small squad of bolt action rifles from BR3 is a tie with 1 guy equiped with a fg42 or stg at medium range. Or try killing a tiger II with a early sherman. Same goes for BR 1 Vs BR3.

I beg to differ. I know generally many players chase the meta but I’m the kind of player who usually will play whatever for variety more or less. Hey sometimes I feel like using a Panther, sometimes a Panzer 2
You’re part of a minority. That’s why you’ll always do worse than a player who has the top gear.

I do have a niche philosophy and perspective. I admit it myself many times 
Personally I don’t care about whether I’m on the top of the scoreboard or whatever. I’m more into “Do whatever job you can to the best of your ability and every little thing counts to fight the battle”. I feel that way towards everyone
It’s like with MGs I primarily do bipod to lay down fire. I’ll get whatever kills I can, maybe a bomb lands directly on me, if I mowed down some advancing enemies then the job was complete for better or worse. Or particularly one time in Invasion on attack I parachuted to the side/ back flank to hold up enemies running to man the objective. In a way I’m mission oriented
Whether I did great statistically during a match or not, que sera sera. I have fun, fight the battle, and enjoy
