5 x only tunisia
(5 x defending if I remember correctly)
5 x loss for USA
including 4 x steamrolled by germany
2 x first point lost in the first minute
Seaplanes in tunisia…LMAO
Completely screwed up and useless game now.
Merge fixed nothing at all.
Everything is worse.
Cant play map of my choice → inexcusable.
Linking maps to BR → inexcusable.
Before, some maps were botfarms.
Now armies are botfarms.
Many people like to play germany because there is more new stuff available now.
Result is that everybody plays germany to get the new stuff, those who stay with USA get destroyed.
Good thinking there!
I gave this disaster a chance, but they really messed it all up.
Below: my 5th battle USA BR 2
First point lost in 1 minute
All 5 points in 18 minutes
No chance
I’m not even gonna try anymore.
Thanks again for nothing.
I don’t know, I have to say that I see much more Germany BR 3 at lower BR than soviets or US BR3…
I just had a game in Moscow where at least 5, maybe even 6 people where using Pz IV J. It was the only axis tank that I saw, and the soviets did not had any tank beyond T-50. Still won though, thanks to the soviets having Pak 40 for some reasons.
I am pretty sure that, given the huge amount of BR 5 german players, all of the US/Soviets BR 3 players get absorbed into high BR game while german ones can enjoy the lower BR games.
It may be now - you don’t get any drum mag SMG’s at BR 2 for the Soviets - just the 20-rd box PPS 34 (IIRC - don’t’ have it open in front of me), so the Sov’s actually have WORSE SMG’s than the MP28.
Also only get the Madsen and Breda MG’s (again IIRC).
Do get T-50 and T-28E if you can figure out which squads to field… but all T34’s are BR3
and yes I’m talking BR 2 where all the “real BA fun” is to be had, rather than BR3 trying to seal-club the lower BR’s!
Just talking about BR 2 here. Forgetting up/down tiers, I think BR for BR up till BR 3 is pretty solid.
The gear at BR 2 is very good for all (just comparing their best stuff, there is obviously more) Some is clearly better than their counter parts (PPS, P-38 rockets, Spitfire M.VC trop)
Soviets have:
PPS-42/43 (35 round mags)
Winchester
madsen
PTRS-41
T-28, t-50
LAGG
IL 2
SB-2M
premium paratroopers
Germans have:
FNAB
Caracanos
MG 13
Grb-39
Panzer III/IV (75Mm short)
Stuka D-5,
BF-109 F-1/2
no paratroopers
Allies have:
Grease gun/Sten/owen
Ross Rifles
M1 Carbine/grenade launcher
Bren gun Mk 1
Bazooka/piat
Grant, Crusader
Dauntless,
Spitfire M.VC Trop,
P-38 rockets (Wow)
Japan has some excellent SMGs aswell but I dont know them enough to make a list.
Those are some very potent decks without event gear.
I would say that the USA probably has the best deck here, but the good thing is, everything is competitive.
Tanks can kill each other, have the same anti infantry potential, AT weapons work, Small arms work, Fighters and Attackers work.
It should be much easier to add now (a sniper variant)
But yeah. equipment for equipment. Soviets still have the better SMG (maybe not the drums moscow users were acustomed to). But The rest is comparable to Germans. (AT gun might not seem as potent as the Grb but its enough to get the job done against any armor it sees. Where as the germans need the Grb to pen t-50 and Grant)
Id say the USA/Commonwealth are clearly ahead in Fighter planes, attacker planes, Tanks, AT weapons, Machine guns. Very solid deck (and thats not even mentioning event squads
Today was extreme.
Berlin BRV matches started with 10 Axis and 2 Allies, later on Allies got more players, but the dice was cast.
Allies are much more playable on weekdays then on weekends it seems.
