Even a single weapon B1-5 will bring the entire squad up to that BR. Example A BR5 rifle will make the entire squad BR5. A single squad At BR5 will bring you to BR5. That means a squad with two rifle or four grenade a pistol and so on is the same BR as a solider with one rifle. A single soldier with BR5 rifle is the same as a fully armed BR5 squad. A single squad or soldier in a the squad with a BR5 rifle is the same as four or more BR5 squads.
The idea is simple every piece of gear has a point value. Abolt action would be worth 100 points, a semi-auto 250 and a full auto 500-750 points. just an idea it would encourage people to perhaps run smaller squads or task driven squad say an assault squad with just the assaulters. Do you want a big squad to soak up damage or a small hard-hitting squad. It would also remove nade span as giving them to every soldier would have a cost.
I like this idea, though I think by changing your title you could gain more support.
Its definitely a huge issue that players (especially newer players) are getting just a couple BR3 items then being thrown into BR3-5 games and getting absolutely stomped.
Far too frequently I’m seeing BR1-2 tanks and planes (as well as other equipment) coming into BR5 games and its not even close to fair for them, and when I’m having games where at least half my team is like this, its not fair to the rest of us to have to attempt to carry them.
And what is the meaning of pumping, silver, gold, pumping branches? Your idea is a bit absurd in our game realities. In WT, it makes sense, because there equipment can survive for a long time, and the dead are knocked out, but this is not acceptable in our country, it is necessary that the player plays the whole game until the end of reinforcements
I agree. It’s stupid that one high BR weapon makes me “equal” to whole high BR lineup.
For example I have BR2 lineup and I’d like to add one BR3 weapon but I can’t because I’ll potentially face fully decked out BR5 sqads (BR4 if we change to BR±1).
I’d exclude vehicles from this as differences between BRs are much more impactful than in case of infantry weapons. BR on your vehicle should be the lowest BR you can get.
Problem is, I don’t think devs are capable of implementing this well as it would quite hard to balance.
Again opinions based on feelings.
I made a similar suggestion (comment) some time ago with calculations and analyzed ~10 possible cases of how ppl may want to exploit it. But ppl said it’s bad because they feel so.
Several dozens of lines of calculations lost in confrontation with somebody’s feelings.
Sorry for this small rant. I took it a bit too personally.
Yeah, because DF would definitely implement such a complex system in proper way.
The preferred map system was way more straightforward, yet they achieved to screw it up. (And it’s not like they didn’t screwed up the BR system as well lmao)
The system OP suggested would be just complete mess in hands of DF. That’s reality. I just don’t see a way how they would be able to implement it right.
Average BR score needs lots of queues to be effective or the gap between the least score guy and the most score guy would be enormous. And then you need to convince DF that more than 2 queues are required.
good idea but actually impossible to implement in a working way.
separating BRs into br 1/2, br 3/4 & br 5 and adding 2 bots into the game that use all kinds of gear (for better immersion, without the issue of OP abuse, since bots wont distort game just because they have superior weapons) is by far the best solution ive seen to the current BR problem. also makes the game more fun for beginners, since they can see (and pick up!) all kinds of weapons, despite still being very low in research.
I didn’t say devs would implement it right, quite the oposite (see my first comment).
I just said weighted average can be done, works well and I have mathematical proof for this that ppl keep ignoring.
Actually I’ll tell you a secret. For at least a year I write suggestions that I know won’t be implemented. But they are a nice thought experiment and I like writing them, predicting problems they may cause, how to prevent them etc. It’s just my weitd way of having fun.
Not sure what you’re so fired up about. Almost everything on this forum is opinion. I clearly worded my statement in an intellectually honest way that it’s what I think / feel would or would not work. An opinion.
Many others like to spout off opinions as if they are unassailable fact. I do not.
thats the problem for me, its a big no from me allowing high BR equipment in lower BR’s due to smaller quantity.
What comes to “point” system sure, if its used to match say ppl with 1 FG42 against ppl with 1 AVT.
But no players and what else reasons to not have working matchmake.
