After the merger, the game environment fell into chaos. The Germans were killing everyone in BR5, and the Americans had an absolute advantage in the Pacific. A large number of players were lost. Today, there are not many IJA players left, and almost all Soviet players in BR5 were lost.
However I don’t see any action from DF, they are not even willing to make any effort to alleviate this one-sided situation
Looking at it now, the merger was an absolutely wrong decision.
Because there is no difference between before and after the merger. The environment before the merger and the environment now are all balanced like shit, and there is a serious lack of history after the merger.
The Germans had an absolute advantage in the Battle of Berlin before the merger, and the Americans had an absolute advantage in the Pacific Battle before the merger, so what did they change? They changed shit!
Not only that, we lost the independent British and Italian camps, they simply disappeared! Hold! You can now see them on battlefields where they shouldn’t be, it’s honestly so disgusting you can see them wearing tropical uniforms in the snow on the battlefields of Moscow, British paratroopers in the Battle of the Pacific
This is ridiculous. Japanese paratroopers are still using bolt-action rifles. The Type 100 submachine guns used by paratroopers were thrown to the value-added medical team.
No improvement, no balance, no history, no future
Does DF feel that as long as it keeps adding new content to the game, players will always be satisfied with the status quo and ignore the problems of the game itself?
But what I want to say is
The Battle of the Ardennes won’t save you, just like the German army in history
And what is you suggestion to fix it ? Force people to play ussr or US ?
Nerf germut even further ?
Well I disagree with this.
99/100 games in previous version were predictable roflstomps.
Now, the games are by far more even and cant really tell how the game ends just by looking the scoreboard.
Id say populated games is quite massive improvement.
Games are better balanced now, il grant that the BR thing needs some serious adjustments.
There really wasnt any history to start with.
I think theres the modern combat thing in customs if you need “future” weapons for some reason.
And you know who’s fault is that? that they pushed merge, It’s our fault we made them release the merge early in a shambled state ,I bet they didnt have plans to realese the merge this year but hey player base.Anyway we should learn from this to not rush devs since DF is definitely listening to “US”
I do have a responsibility, although I didn’t push them to merge
When I found out about the merger, I was in favor of it.
If I wanted to urge them to merge, I would have urged them on the first day. Before the merger, I could comfort myself with the thought that “they are busy merging and have no time to deal with these trivial matters.”
It’s been so long since the merger, but there are still no patches to improve it.
I don’t know how else I could deceive myself
Soviets have no excuse to not play BR5. They only play BR1-3 to stomp on underpowered Axis, how funny how you overlooked that fact, All axis BR tiers are op according to you i guess. Soviets objectively are superior to the Axis across all tiers.
Americans are obviously underpowered at BR4-5, but very strong at BR2-3 so i won’t blame them for not playing against BR5.
On the contrary, the Americans in BR4~5 are at least better than the Soviets. Facing the BR5 axis, the Americans have a strong air force to relieve the pressure on the King Tiger tanks. They have a good enough occupation mechanism and more manpower.
In the Pacific, the U.S. military crushed the Japanese military with almost no pressure
Most of the Soviet troops gathered in BR3 because their performance in BR5 was not as good as that of the American army.
Maybe so, but the performance of the German army in BR5 seems to be a bit too good. At least the Soviet troops I encounter when playing BR5 now are vulnerable. Most of them are BOT, and most of them hide in gray areas to play snipers.
In addition, when will the Japanese forces in the Pacific be taken seriously? After the merger, the Japanese army was the camp with the least profit. The US army received British paratroopers with BSA and powerful army aircraft in the Pacific, while the Japanese army only received a Chi-Nu similar to the German army’s Panzer 3 tank J.
There are also four-type rifles that are similar to the G41
It’s hard to imagine that this crap is in BR4 and they are going to face junmbo
Maybe I’m too impatient
The reason I’m optimistic about the merger is that it will be much simpler for DF to balance the factions than to balance specific campaigns one by one.
But I didn’t see the balance patch after the merger, which was a bit disappointing.
My premium account still has half a month left, so I will wait another half month
what happened though, and it’s just a theory / conspiracy,
is that a paradox happened.
since the merge was released, and germany had the most equipment locked behind campaigns,
people opted to play now as germany because they couldn’t in the pre-merge period.
i’m sure people will switch once they are done with what they were seeking for.
essentially since now all the equipments are somewhat accessible instead of being locked behind campaings.
but i could be wrong.
at least, that’s what i did in the merge. when i grinded normandy axis, i switched to allies in stalingrad, then allies in the pacific, then allies normandy, then japan, and lastly returned to grind axis tunisia. quite an arc.
also, stop using the buzzword/ escape got as " HA no more since campaigns " this game never was, never really have been, nor really ever will be historical accurate.
you’re just beating a dead horse for the sake of it.
hey i understand this
I don’t want it to be 100% historically accurate, otherwise it wouldn’t be fun, because war is not fun.
But the Italian troops wearing shorts in the snow in Moscow and the British troops in the Pacific were still beyond my tolerance.
I might go crazy over this, I really hate the idea of merging the Italian and British camps into the German and American camps
Now literally every BR you play is plain wrong in terms of WW2.
On low BR 1-2-3 you get Pz IV J, MP 3008 and PPS 43 in Stalingrad.
Moroccan bathrobe guys in Normandy and Pacific, SAS shorts guys in Normandy, USMC frog camo paratroopers in Tunisia, LVT in Tunisia, Crusader in Pacific, etc.
On high BR it’s the same fantasy RPD/AS/Fedorov anti history spam but now even in Stalingrad.
History DID get worse with this update in this WW2 game.
