I have to agree with @5762269 and @ErikaKalkbrenner. Even if devs introduce that mechanic, german side will keep winning because of the weapon imbalance and players will just leave matches until they get in their fav team. It’s still very hard to counter german smg and adding more weapons for russia (PPD-40, PPSh, SVT, AVS, Fedrov avtomat…) will give players a reason to play the other side. You have to remember that germany already got the MP-41, which was one of the best SMG’s of ww2 while Russia still has the interwar SMG. Germans also got a better LMG and so on. Some players will think there are no weapon imbalances because russian rifle deals 1 damage more than german one but even so, both german and russian rifles will oneshot in the torso or head and twoshot anywhere else
You could enforce a cool down if people leave a game early - it would stop at least some people - make it substantial - 15 minutes perhaps?
In every game like RO2, Tannenberg, Bf you can choose a side.
This is a CBT - it is more important that it gets good testing than that you get to choose a side
Then I will literally just stop playing.
Just like half of the other German mains here.
I am NOT wasting 15 minutes because the game decided “ha ha u not get to play” because I will be treating getting forced into the other team as the game deciding I simply do not get to play at all, because I dislike playing Soviets to the point that I might as well just not play at all.
So you are treating it as a game, and not a test.
OK - so 10 or 5… but TBH they probably have enough testing of Germans now… and your inability to think of it as a test if probably not helpful.
So hte testing needs more people playing Soviets to get a better data set - and you are adamant you won’t do it for… “reasons”… doesn’t that make you less than useful as a tester?
And so should you.
We are testing A GAME. No matter whether it is a test or not, it still is a game.
Otherwise I could say like “I am testing a car, so this test is exactly the same as this TEST for enlisted”
It is not.
I test whether it is fun for me to play something. Soviets is not fun, and so I do not play it. Darkflow will notice the smaller playerbase on Soviet side and will attempt to do something about it. I will not make myself suffer for a company that I am giving MONEY TO to play their game, to give them false data.
If they want people that test absolutely everything regardless of what is fun and what not, they can hire QA testers.
Dunno how you can call it a game in its current state - I guess we’ll have to agree to differ.
I can but hope it gets better.
It is a game
A hot garbage mess of a game
but still a game
All one has to be to be a game is an interactive piece of digital software that is ment to entertain us.
It is sad to see veteran testers complain about weapon balance still and that too about SMGs(non-premium only). Anyone who has been part of the tests long enough should know that PPD has gotten miles better due to the recoil reduction. And German SMGs got nerfed a lot since alpha and Soviets had no issues winning games back then. It’s not the developers’ fault that people don’t want to play the Soviet side.
What’s so difficult to understand about one side gets the RoF advantage and other the recoil advantage smh
It is not even cleared whether our progress will stay ot get wiped
I have to agree on this. The only non-premiums Germany has that’s blatantly better than Russia’s are the C96 vs the Nagant revolver, and the Panzer II vs the T-60.
I’m skeptical of the MP 41 vs the PPK as well. The MP 41 is just far more common because it’s German.
My doubts about MP41 are coming from same source, I remember, that when CBT opened for the first time, matches were full of PPKs and I thought they are just pure cancer. Now they are less common tha MP 41s so it is harder to see, I bet that if we had teams full of PPKs and MP 41s at both sides, nobody would notice a difference.
PPK has lower RoF, higher recoil and same damage as MP41. When it was introduced at the beginning of CBT, it was very similar to MP but after the nerf, you are better of using the PPD
Just comparing between using the PPK and the MP41 alone, the MP41 is much steadier under full auto with only a slight bit of muzzle climb to counteract. While moving so the recoil perk doesn’t activate as well.
Like it’s not a BIG difference, but its enough to make one clearly superior to the other.
soviet rifles are overpowered than the germans bro
That’s markedly false. You still one shot with the k98 to the upper torso all the same. Plus the k98s fire much faster.
But it`s faster and have better scope. We can talk about ever and ever again. I wish you enjoy it
noo we are always the same people it feels like only few of us are left now lol
Still trying to figure out why the Pnzr 2 has has the survivability of a king tiger. I just unlocked the BTR on the Russian side and i shot the turret hitting vital components 4-5 times from 30 yards. then i hit the engine. Guess what? he kept moving and firing
