Br question

Am on Xbox so didn’t get to play around the dev server.

Are Infantry I, II, III etc different Br’s?
I’ve seen an old spreadsheet where they were different Br’s but that was before the Br system was abandoned and subsequently reinstated.
Since it was reinstated I’ve only heard talk about weapons and vehicles and which Br they are, not different troops types and their ranks/levels.

Can anyone explain how that will work? Thx in advance.

Yea they will be.

The purpose of the BR system is to make sure that you’ll only play against others who’ve unlocked the same stuff you have, so you won’t get any advantages from it.

And

Which one of you is right and based on what?

Yeah, I’m none the wiser since both answers cancelled eachother out :rofl:

Eurythmia is a helper so she is most likely right.

That would make sense. Guess I’ll replace as many low ranks with high ranks.

Based on the fact soldiers didnt have a BR in the test server

Thx, I like that because mentally working out what to do to get a squad at a certain Br sound slike a nightmare if there is too much that affects it.
Just guns also means there is better oversight.

and will they? soldiers and equipment in general?

Don’t know, but it’s always possible based on feedback and statistics

you know they should, soldiers* may not but equipment… x3 impact grenades infantry squad br1… say no more.

*unless soldier tier I II III would mean something more than now.


there’s feedback going on right now make sure to pass that to devs. :slight_smile:

There definitely shouldn’t be a rating to soldiers. The few extra perk points is a reward for grinding and sticking around. Rating the equipment is also a bad idea, it would ruin any build crafting available in low tier.

Yeah. I can see how some equipment and perks affect squad strength more than certain weapons but it will make tweaking for a certain Br a nightmare.

Unless they highest level for equipment is Br 3. Thats kinda my aiming point, for anyone but the Germans I don’t really need the Br 4 and 5 stuff so why get myself pulled into uptiers unnecessarily.
For Germans my main stuff is all 4/5 that I like except for the Bolt actions. Plan to do a line up like this too:

Lebel
Italy premium rifle
Mosin engineers
Kar98/ext mag kar98
Vg2/luftfaust
Mannlicher
Mas36
Some low tier Attacker

I wouldn’t wanna seal club too hard and kinda wanna get uptiered with sometimes so making them all Br 3 due to equipment would be fine for me.

I’ve really tried to puzzle out how troops of different tiers could be min-maxed, and basically came to the conclusion that I can reach the same meta perk loadout on almost all of them. A few high tier ones will be able to do some cheeky stuff like 30% horizontal and 20% vertical reduction which lower tier troops of the same class cannot achieve. But generally max tier troops will not enjoy that much of an advantage over lower tier troops.

Which also helps with the issue of re-using cosmetics on troops, it would be nightmarish if you actually had to change soldiers as well when swapping between BR loadouts, because all your cosmetics would be changed out every time the soldiers changed.

Just for your info Luftfaust is BR4 or 5 i don’t remember exactly but it will bring you to Normandy/Berlin/Stalingrad every time with no downtiers.

Oh, thanks! Prob would’ve encountered it then hut thanks for the headsup.
Bit of a meme weapon and not worth it taking the entire squad into uptier.

Technically it seems like you can uptier and downtier across queues, it’s just very unlikely on live based on player populations.
