Since Burma has come out, I had one high tier match on allies, but only way I can get it it seems is chose Japan (any tier) and pretty much guarantee I will get the map. But if I chose Low tier or mid tier allies, I always get normandy or bulge. I put together a brit lineup and planes, tanks for Burma. I know HA has gone astray, but I refuse to use my grant in Normandy, so I end up playing with a disadvantage, as my lineup is mainly for Burma. I have max slots so have some vehicles but the point is I am playing the wrong map / campaigns… I would like to know what the rest of the playerbase success rate is for low/ mid tier allies, do you get Burma?
I play Any server in mornings, but usually Europe in Evenings, sometimes with EE if not trying to sync squads.
If I choose my level one Japanese, which is the only level of Japanese I can play I pretty much always get Burma. Allies, I have not played as much the past several months as I always get butt stomped, but lately my level one Allies I have got Burma, level two I got Burma once and Tunisia and level five Normandy or Hurtgen Forest. I pretty much skip level three as I get punked to play level five Japs, so I don’t play them much. If I do play level three and get the Germans, I usually get Normandy. I pretty much choose ALL when it comes to servers.
European Axis have much larger playerbase so much more likely that you will sucked into the west rather than the east.
Normandy and Bulge on low BR is another huge problem since they make Tunisia very rare, it is time to remove Normandy and Bulge from BR1-2-3 matches!
I had been playing “Play Any Army” for about 3 months straight (or however long it’s been available) until the Burma thing finally wore me out.
I played BR2, NA server, EST, Random. And I would get BR2 Japan Burma for about 4-5 matches, and typically it’d be upscaled to BR3.
Eventually, I got tired of running into BR3 premades I finally stopped playing “Play Any Army” (as I said I would in a previous post).
So, if you want Burma, that’s one way to do it. (I don’t have any advice for anyone trying to play BRV Burma…)
FWIW, I actually like the Burma matches when the MM is alright. Lots of buildings to hide in, which counterbalance tanks. Tunnels to be found, and interesting new fight patterns and places to put rallies. There are still a few bugs (I’ve had an APC spawn INSIDE a building twice, once I couldn’t move it, the other it was in a hut, and since the wheels were on the ground, I was able to shimmy out of it). I’ve played Burma probably 15 - 20 times, I think.
Of the 3 Allied games I had today, 2 were on the new Burma maps, honestly had fun fighting that uptier, even if the Garand is kinda meh against any of the BR5 jap stuff. Ofc was playing BR3 Allies for this. Queued against both BR1/2 and BR5 Japanese.
On the EU servers as well so maybe I was just getting lucky.
Was using the Prem Churchill (Not like there is a tech tree one ffs, one of the most iconic WW2 british vehicles and its not in the tech tree) and the Mustang. That and the tech tree mobile rally transport.
