Germany BR2 is now just sad

3 matches where people left because we owned them so quickly. And more than half of the team was bots carrying premium guns like MG13 drum. Thanks for buffing me even more i guess.

You better buff Germany otherwise there will be not a single player left wanting to play this Dark Souls of nations at low BR.



We truly come full circle and are back of having Tunisia Axis all over again.

guess it’s time to see who are the real germans and who’s pretender :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

“jokes” aside, i guess everyone is on high br to try the jet or the new mg 81.

allies players are currently split in testing the new br changes and the new low br weapons.

and, it’s worthed to mention the new allegedly working matchmaker “soft” rules.

Not much has changed for me as a “any nation” BR2 germany player. Had some good matches, just got done getting steamrolled by a 4 man soviet team on an uptier. Some good old

I was playing BR2 germany earlier today, played 3 games and won 3 games, two against the russians.

I do agree that BR2 germany could do with some love, namely the Pz4 F1 getting some HEAT, otherwise its not too bad. I mean the FNAB could do with its actual firerate as well to at least compete against the 43.

Though I do have to say, its so fucking nice to not see Pz3N spam at BR2, omg its so nice to see more diverse vehicle picks.

  1. Complains about Germany being weak
  2. Proceeds to farm them for points

I don’t know, but It seems to me like you’re part of the problem too.

It’s most likely due to german main trying mg81 & me-262 whilst soviet main trying fodorov and uragan.

I’m just doing my part of killing German population once and for all. That’s what DF wants me to do after buffing everyone but Germany. Maybe once they notice stats of nobody wanting to play as them anymore (as favourite punching bag) they would change their minds on overbuffing Soviets and Americans.

I didn’t try br 2 but changed my br setup to 3 from 5. and I can say germany’s playerbase is split to 2 right now, half playing br 3 other half plays br 5. and both of them capable of fighting back even tho they still losing matches

I think the best way to solve this problem is to join the Soviet BR2. At least before the version update, Germany’s BR2 had an advantage. I believe that fortunes ebb and flow, and that’s perfectly normal.

I only played three games tonight, all as level two Soviets and won two of the three. Usually I play level two Germans, but lately have been losing as much as winning, and winning more with the Allies so I think people have moved to other factions, at least temporarily. I played Soviets tonight because one of my daily goals was five pistol kills, and my soviets have the smg pistol so that is an easy goal to obtain. After winning easily, I thought play them again, and easily won again so I thought why not a third. Well, big mistake as I took a butt stomping, so after completing my objectives and the butt stomping I threw in the towel. :joy:

I play majority Germans, and really the only big issue I have with them and Dark Force is the FNAB-43 and it’s pathetically low ROF, which is damn near half the rate of fire that most research sources say it should be, anywhere between 600-837 rof. DF should have corrected this in the last update, but not surprisingly, choose not to.

Total soviet victory at the last point i was murdering enemy tanks and then waves of enemies with my overpowered Uragan smg not a single German player could take me out and they even gave up on their tanks. If i wouldn’t cuck myself with T-50 it would be even more brutal without two deaths as T-50 is pretty vulnerable against infantry.

plus too high of vertical recoil for some reason, so buff it along with adding real stats. That way Germany could have it’s PPS-42 with 50 less rof but also better recoil so in between of PPS-42 and MP40.

I mostly play on the RU server, and Germany has always had terrible player numbers there.
It was so bad that even with the play all factions option enabled, I’d end up on the German side in 8 out of 10 matches.
Now, after the matchmaking system changes, 2BR is practically dead — because 3BR squads now end up fighting 2BR teams in 8 out of 10 battles.
As a result, the entire German BR 1–3 scene has completely died out since it’s simply not competitive against the Soviets.
Now when playing all factions, I end up on the German side in 10 out of 10 battles.

I think the game is slowly dying because it takes much longer to find a match then it did just a year ago, even when I play all servers. I used to always get a match within seconds, now, it can take over a minute at times

If they are willing to put in more effort in terms of the technology tree and BR, I will increase my tolerance for them a little bit. If they want to attract more people, making minor tweaks and fixes is not enough. They need to come up with something of higher quality.

I also noticed this when I played 5BR but I also noticed that now battles are launched 10 vs 10 players and not as it was before that at the beginning there were ~12 players on both teams and gradually the missing players were loaded. But the game is really dying, it is enough to look at the online numbers on Steam and the “work” of the developers.

It’s like they know it’s dying and instead of redoubling their efforts to save it, they are going to let it wither on the vine, especially if they have a different new game coming out, that’s where their effort is going to be placed. Hopefully if they are letting this one die off, they will do the right thing and release all the old squads and weapons so those who keep playing will have that to keep us going for a while, not to mention honor their word that they are letting us choose our own maps. I can continue to play for a while, even if I am playing against bots.

Yes, the silver coin box lottery is not a sustainable solution. Sooner or later, people will get tired of it. This game has its own unique features and could have a promising future if it is developed seriously. If it goes under, we all know it’s entirely the fault of DF. The bad news is that there’s no good news coming in May either. Our pessimistic attitude still lingers.

Its funny they nerfed Panzer III N but P-38 G is ground attacker they should move it to a fighter plane…


Match full of newbies, bots and one dude that knew how to throw demo pack (may be a bot). I’m still levelling squads so they are not even fully decked.
