Very nice collection of issues.
The amount of hand/smoke grenades I accidentally thrown at tanks… Then quickly switching to AT guy, getting downed a split second later and all AT guys killed in 5 seconds… The missing Type 97 AT rifles, explosives and the lack of swords feels the most unsettling for me now that Type 4 started to register hits for me. 
Also most players fail to notice they can bring their trucks along, in many battles we have a single rally and no APCs at all.
WTF lol
the issue with this event is that japan is getting stripped away all it’s identity for some balancing when soviet is the one needed the nerf
type 4 is objectively worse than the SVT
47rd vs 25rd is not fair
PPSH with 35rd vs 20? when the firerate is higher? what a joke
Lmao, KE7 is clearly superior MG.
What are you even talking about?
No hate aganist the type 4 but if the idea here in the event is balancing I don’t see a reason not to give japan a box reload semi, as you also agree that the SVT is obviously over performing
keep it in the event, but I do kinda agree that the Type hei late/10 shouldn’t have been a gold order in the first place
20rd thompson is fine, but obviously the better counter part to the pps is the type 2a
I disagree that Ke7 is better than the DP, sustain fire is more important than single shot dmg in game.
if we want real balance they should both get the BRIV MG, the DT-29 and the Te-4 respectively
Thompson 20 is counterpart to PPS, not PPSh.
Counterpart to PPSh (box mag) is Type 100 late (one of the best BR3 smgs)
Type 4 is decent BR3 rifle. The problem is that SVT-38 has no place to be in BR3. It’s literally just BR4 rifle with BR3 dmg, that’s all. It has no downside compared to all other tech tree BR3 rifles.
I highly dislike event battle passes that force you to play the event to get the rewards. I wont be playing this one. Usually im not negative when it comes to this game. Im a bit more laissez faire but i just dislike the forced event play to unlock rewards. I dont find it enjoyable
Very strong wording there.
Lmao, what version have you been playing, I think me and many others would like access to that one too.
I’m okay with the event’s current “join any” balance on EU server. Not fair matches, but balanced in the long run. Maybe I was lucky.
Today’s 4 matches: R - USSR, J - Japan, percentage as 0% even, 100% totally one-sided
In this last match we quickly lost first 4 positions then destroyed 700 tickets worth of USSR manpower.
One of the best recent matches for me with very clever tactics from opponent (sometimes). Even with 0 reserve they still started capping.
And yes I know it was 4 Japan wins, but with first day’s Russian push this is what I’d call balance…
I mean still, the Jap matches are being won by skill over weapons, not once have I felt comfortably powerful as the Japanese, while any soviet squad instantly lets me feel like Im in power, though I do wonder if there is some balancing feature going on with better players getting put to the japanese side, but I feel like somehow even with “random” teams, soviet teams are still suffering from classic soviet team issues.
compared to the first 2 days a lot of people aren’t using APC as much as they were from the matches ive played or when you look at the map theres only a few active squads while other people are waiting for the tank maybe but I wouldnt know.
This is going to be a bit of a rant but…
There is nothing even about this matching, just like there is nothing even about br 5 allies vs vr 5 japs
Type 4 rifle is shit, doesnt compare to svt-38
SU-2 isnt even in the same league as whatever the jap bomber is in the event. And who thought it would be even to make jap planes start from the carrier but SU gets to start in the air
Same goes for the fighter planes
The only jap smgs that even compare to SU ones are tokyo smth, even basic ppd would be better
And all that is only about stuff that is in the event, if this idea launches and SU gets access to full br5 arsenal its going to be a 100% stomp everygame
PLEASE either scrap this idea or let me 100% blacklist ALL of the pacific maps, pacific sucks with every nation i have to play there
also did i mention pacific sucks?
the plane selection for this event was obviously
A - made by someone who clearly doesnt play planes
B - made by someone who clearly hate having planes in the game
C - both of the above.
which is ok, not everyone is into the plane side of the game.
only pistols on pilots? why? what does this acomplish?
why doesnt everybody have axes, or in japan case, god forbid, some shin guntos?
why not all infantry packs some explosives to counter tanks, like every normal match?
whats exactly the point in having 1 thompson, 1 late 100 smg, and no other assault weapon, in an ASSAULT squad?
but then, the infantry squads formations, weapons, gear and perks repeat exactly the points A, B, and C from before, so whats left?
i dont play tanks, so i cant talk about their selection, but IS-2 vs Tiger I doesnt sound too balanced, vould be wrong in that front.
why throw every weapon in the game into a blender, then let em get spitted out and wherever they fall, they stay?
why put 2 at gunners in an at specific squad? why 2 assaulters in an assault squad? why, and oh why put only 2 damn engineers in an engineer squad, for the love of god?
what kind of balance is this event measuring, if we have already premade squads? this doesnt measure balance at all, there are entire squads with the same weapon (svt38, type4) and there are squads with a different weapon for every soldier!!
how can balance be evaluated, if we have already made gear setups? for balancing purposes, you must let the players choose the loadout at will and base balancing on the gear chosen, not pre assigned!
really, i thought the mr blunt man with the pan in the head event was the worst we could get, but this one actually makes a solid contender for 1st place.
12k xp per day? when it was at worst 20k per 2 days, aka 10 per day comfortably? but then, sell for gold 25% experience boost, to go back to the usual 10k per day? does this really can be more obvious?
Thats not entirely true, the Type 100 is very good, enough to fight on par with the PPSh at least. And they do have the 50rnd MP28 for their BR2 lineup.
Im going to disagree with this because the event is a very poor showing for the japs, the auto hei and the Ho Ri will dominate BR5 vs the soviets.
But in terms of the event yes, the balance is mental, the Su-2 in particular is so much more powerful than any of the japanese options, frankly all japanese attackers could go down a BR and be balanced, they are overtiered atm.
they just released a really decent fighter for japan, a counter to the p51, very solid in air and for ground, couldnt they chosen that one?
why not the P40 for the USSR, far better plane for dual role than the yak?
why put the su-2 on the event, an amazing plane indeed, but with broken flight model NOT FIXED before the event begins?
not even talking about the ground attacker plane selection for japan. the plane with NO GUNS ON THE FRONT. why? why that horrible plane in particular?
is this really a 6 month in the making event? six entire months? for this? this even makes the 2 years of work for fixing the bipods sounds reasonable.
Yeah that is very much my question too, I was thinking before the event, it was delayed for over 6 months because it was being refined with a new map, but like making these presets could have been done in under an hour and this is still what we ended up with? Its even more confusing because they took the time to do the appearances of the squads right, even having their designated squad leader.
maybe i`m 1% but i really like that Event, except this 12k each day shit
Because each soldier has a different setup and is not necessarily the meta, it reminds me a lot of my beginnings in ENLISTED
Of course it would be more comfortable if every soldier had det packs or ammunition bags but that’s exactly what makes the event interesting for me
I wish every event had such rewards
Because in WW2 not everybody had axes and swords?
(This is an event and if you don’t enjoy it, you can still play the normal game or set up a custom game.)
Not protecting their loadout decisions (building AA would come handy and I don’t have explosives which is painful) but out of my 6 matches today 5 was won by Japans, and I wasn’t on Japan side always, plus it did not seem like bots only on Russian side. So whatever is the balancing factor it was not in favor of USSR this afternoon/night.
Also I really appreciate that the squad XP goes to my squads so they advance. That’s nice - don’t know if it was so with other events as well.
something that i noticed while playing the zero in the event, the sound of the cannons is out of sync this was report a few months ago.
are you really willing to challenge the availability of axes, of all things, for ground soldiers, yet give a total free pass to japanese tiger I´s, counted in the dozens, on a per battle basis? in a battle where URSS and JAPAN are duking it out, in alligator creek, in the pacific islands? REALLY?
this is a gameplay issue i was talking about, not a historical realism issue. i wont go into that, theres been hundreds of pages of non realism vs realism, or HA as its usually called, in this game.
it is a game, after all, i hope we can agree on that. and the lack of axes and swords is a gameplay issue, not a real logistic availability of any given gear.
