Sorry for it looking a bit weird (I forgot to take the screenshot at the end of the battle so I had to go back through the replay to get the scoreboard). It was a German vs Soviet match and I was the Germans (top of the team too, although that didn’t mean much). There were 6 deserters on the German side and 0 deserters on the Soviet side.
This is proof that the Soviets are unbalanced, both weapon and team wise. Something needs to be done, either buffs, nerfs or even SBMM, because it was hell sticking through that.
Just imagine if we had the bonuses for however many people deserted. I would’ve gotten 50% bonus for sticking to the end + 60% for those who left…
No point in playing when you encounter good Soviet player that can also know how to utilize overpowered Soviet weapons of BR3 and have their jrpg body armor.
Soon you will have three usual fanatics invading your thread and mocking those players for not wanting to be Soviet’s punching bags and that “german tanks and weapons are as good as soviets” “it’s a skill issue you go away from the game for undefined period of time*”
I honestly hope they don’t. Everyone on the forum has pleaded that they implement bonuses for staying instead. I know people have brought up the “what about the veterans” issue, but in all honesty, how many veterans still routinely play the game other than grinding events?
I am like this truth be told, I usually insta quit whenever I have to face the soviets, by many reasons, ugly maps, soviet op stuff, or good soviet players abusing op soviet gear on ugly maps, regardless, I just rather play against the burgers.
Yeah, BR III is arguably the worst point for Germany (or any faction). It’s just an awkward position, with weapons that don’t know what they want to be (a MG trying to be an assault rifle and an MG trying to be a 50 round SMG), semi autos that are less effective than BR I bolt actions, and clueless teams that have teammates that just bought one BR II item and are instantly uptiered.
From my match, I think I was the only BR III Germany player with a team full of BR I Germans and BR III Soviets. It’s a mess (soon Germany will just be a bot faction).
Apparently, it’s widespread, and it’s not good. Maybe that one dude who was asking for Germany to be removed because of imagery might get his wish (although germany will be removed purely because no one will play it soon).
I get a big kick outta people who play through almost the entire game, have damn near 100 kills, are a battle hero yet decided for some odd reason to desert. This tells you they wanted the the rewards, but not the loss on their % or their rank. I don’t personally care if people desert, its just a video game.
In all honesty, IMOP there are two ways to go. Either do away with ALL rewards for desertion, which will ensure that those who play till the end before deserting will just desert much sooner. Or, give the rewards, and do away with the ranking system and win loss percentage, so if they are willing to play to almost the end to avoid % and rank loss, there would be no reason to quit when there are no ill consequences for finishing the game?
